GSE to move on to Greener Pastures?

Club captain Desmond was sighted on Sunday evening in discussions with administrators of the Albert Park Indoor Sports Centre (APISC). Amid rumours of discontent with Action Association (AA) officials, it is believed GSE are considering a switch to the rival league.

The APISC offers a more professional competition structure with official FIFA ® © ™ Futsal rules. Played on a hardwood floor as opposed to the carpet compound of the AA, the most striking difference is the lack of nets. This means more stoppages as balls frequently will be deflected out of bounds. This will undoubtedly help, with GSE's weakness being their fitness. The playing field is also slightly bigger meaning that teams will require 5 players to field a full team. The goalkeeper is also a much more flexible position, with no restrictions on positioning allowing him freedom to roam up the field, Chilavert style. Games require more skill and are generally low scoring as the ability to deflect off nets is gone, and the addition of an extra defender rendering 'Rod-style' or 'Old-School Desmond-style' runs nigh impossible.

Within the team it is believed Ads and Freestyler have signed onto Desmond's ambitious plan, with Chook an unkown at this point in time. The position of Teuma and Jords, aka the "package deal", is also unknown.

Desmond was later spotted playing for the team Benny Hill Unathletic, as a short term loan - Damien Mori/Romario style. BHU won 4-3 with Desmond assisting the opening 2 goals. BHU had a nervy last 10 minutes as they clung to a one goal advantage. Desperate defending, inspired goalkeeping and the crossbar ensured a victory in an at times bitter encounter.
