I am afraid Mr d k does not show enough potential to complete my easy learn at home MTLH for beginners, after say, another 2 years on here he may be getting near enough!

Andy, Roger wants to know how you got on at football!

Put it this way, there's a very good reason why a full report hasn't been posted on the bbs! Despite putting out a strong side and showing up without having been absolutely legless on the previous day (for the first time), we put in a spirited but largely incompetent display. We needed a win to stay in the comp and it was actually a very even game but our failure to get on the score sheet (combination of bad luck, good goalkeeping and dreadful finishing) meant that the 5 we shipped at the other end were academic. Roger will be relieved, he was desperately hoping we wouldn't get a result without him.....
