FJ Tokyo Weekender Cup/Plate1/4 Draw

February 2, 2012

Moment of realization! Sid finds out he didn't record! DOH!!!

Due to technical errors involving a video camera and Sid there will be no video draw for this round. However, being the honest people we are in the Footy Japan Towers, we have decided against a re-draw so the draw you see is how it was pulled out the hat. Maybe one day we will leak the actual footage of the draw but it really isn’t worth a watch. All you see is the pre draw build up and then you can hear Sid countdown from 5 and say “Action” then the Video stops. The footage then starts again just as we finish the draw!

To see the full draw then please continue reading. continue reading…

Guts frozen in their Tracks

February 2, 2012

King George 4 Guts FC 0
Hachioji Park, Sunday January 29th.

KGFC warm up consisting of Iain attempting to touch his toes, Adz licking goal posts and Manager John looking like ET!

Hachioji Koen isn’t the pleasantest of places at the best of times with it’s draconian rules and electric meter controlled floodlighting but when it’s zero degrees,” feels like -3” according to my weather app, and the wind is howling it becomes even less so. This was compounded by the fact that only a few hours before kick-off devil-bearded goalkeeper Elbow had mailed John to let him know he couldn’t play due to a “family function” he had forgotten about. Whether this meant he had forgotten he had children, had discovered he had even more or had just remembered who he actually was is still unclear. John asked James to use his vast network of soccer contacts to get an emergency keeper but this was a fruitless request as Bates spent the next 2 hours trying to find the “family” function on his iPhone. Without the stocky resilience of Tomoki to deputise, the gloves were given to Sean to tend nets and the team lined up thus: continue reading…

Slate Pumas and Robert Walters Clash fought out a 2-2 draw at Hachioji Koen

January 31, 2012

Slate Pumas 2 RW Clash 2
Hachioji Park, Saturday January 28th.

8 players all desperate to get the final touch.

In their previous encounters, there has seldom been more than a single goal separating the Clash and the Pumas, with the Clash typically claiming a narrow victory. When it looked like the Pumas would finally win the fixture, the last attack of the match saw Clash captain Ian Webster arrive at the back-post, his glancing header nestling into the bottom right-hand corner of the net. To add to the drama, the linesman stood with his flag raised, only for the referee to overrule and point to the centre spot. Emotions ran high on both sides as the end-of-game handshakes took place, although any animosity appeared to subside as adrenalin wore off.

Fukuda Denshi, Sunday January 22nd.

The all American hero Jeff Jordan celebrates after scoring the winner

Sala and Shane served up an 11 goal thrills n spills cup tie bonanza in this topsy turvy David vs Goldilocks battle in deepest darkest Chiba.

3-0 at halftime to Sala the game seemed over before a characteristic Sala collapse saw Shane storm back into the match, and with the scores tied at 5 each, the headline writers were ready to pen another dramatic upset when Jeff Jordan aka Goldilocks scored Sala’s winner with 5 mins left!! Great stuff all round and congrats to both teams for a good ol’ ding donger of a match.
