North Down 2nds 0 \u2013 9 Lisnagarvey 2nds<\/p>\n
The game? Freshly relegated North Down 2nds vs Lisnagarvey 2nds – game 2 PME (Post Mockey Era). The weather? Changeable. The performance? Pants.<\/p>\n
Out go Donnan, Bailie, Wilson, Dalzell and Glover. In come\u00a0Chris Speers<\/a>(just in the nick of time), Magee (comeback No.1024), the newly speed-aware father to be Job Seeker\u00a0Steven McGimpsey<\/a>\u00a0(congrats on one and maybe two of those Stevo), man-flu survivor goalkeeperand last but not least light-weight-racing-ferret Mockey replacement\u00a0Phil Dorian<\/a>. Out go heroic crazy-gang cup wins in comes typical league debacle.<\/p>\n Who is to blame for this grim situation? The \u201crevolving door, hands-up who can play\u201d selection policy? Perhaps. The fact that\u2026balls to this!\u2026let\u2019s stick together and point the finger outwards rather than inwards. It\u2019s Garvey, that\u2019s who is to blame! What, with their matching kit, their great hair and makeup, their passing, running, scoring, defending and their insistence on supplying the match ball. A ball, I might add, that North Down failed to cope with in every conceivable way. Stopping it? Forget it. Passing it? Joke. Keeping it out of our net? Pfft! Putting it in theirs? LOL man! L.O.L. We didn\u2019t even get to nick it at the end of the game – they took it home with them.<\/p>\n A 9-0 pounding with very few redeeming features other than we kept playing unlike this season\u2019s darkest hour up at Annadale. Go back and read the report – strong stuff not for the weak hearted.<\/p>\n
