GSE Away Trip I - Shitney

GSE, after demolishing top of the table No Idea (who clearly did seem to have 'no idea') 15-3, are heading to Sydney to support the mighty Melbourne Victory in the A-Leagues biggest grudge match vs Scum FC.

The game vs No Idea was perhaps the most one sided affair GSE has been a part of since the demolition it received at the hands of the mighty Bill Callenda's indoor team sometime in late 2003 early 2004.

The return of pacy hard nut Teuma gave the GSE some much needed steel in midfield, and more run between attack and defence. After a one sided first half littered with missed chances and butchered finishing, GSE put the foot on the pedal with a sparkling second half display. Highlights included desmond's 7 goals in 5 minutes and chook's hattrick in a minute at the death. "Jords' bro" (Nick, he goes by apparently) put in a mighty first half performance between the sticks showing the Magdalani superkeeper genes are not limited to the first of kin. Ads took away man of the match honours after giving the ref a royal RJ pre match.

GSE are now well clear (11 points) and in the top four ahead of Polonia a team against which GSE put in one of its more disapponting performances of the season. This is despite a handicap of -16 points after only two players paying rego on time and a 6 point penalty after a foreit.

The weekend ahead will provide the opportunity for GSE players to see if they can live up to their pop culture film heroes in hooliganism.

This may happen:




In any case the weekend will inclue jaegar bombs, a certain 'good wife', 'trish', 'white on rice', $5 dollar steaks, an 'accidental' visit to the Pleasure Chest, and what is simply known as "the great jump".

Fuck Off Sydney!

GSE New Squad Poll

For the good part of this season, Green Street Elite Football Club have been playing with only just over half a squad

-------**

Subs: **

A recent outcry from midfield anchorman Ads stating that there were no competition for places left Captain Desmond no choice but to front up to the media. His response was that the reason the club had left one or two spots empty in the final squad was to give big names sufficient amount of time to transfer into the Division 7 Green League. It is rumoured that Des close friends Yossi Benayoun, Tal Ben Haim and Fat Keeper are all linked to a move to the glamour club.

Which brings us to this weeks poll. Who are the likeliest candidates to fill in the 4th and 5th playing positions of Green Street Elite?

Bosnich Makes Comeback

Former Socceroo maverick Mark Bosnich has made a low-key return to football after playing a full match for Queens Park Rangers reserves.

The former Socceroo was brought to the club by QPR manager John Gregory who he had worked with previously at Aston Villa. Incidentally, Gregory is currently under pressure at the club following a slow start for QPR in which the first team has won just two of their first seven matches.

Bosnich kept a clean sheet for QPR in a 2-0 victory over Barnet yesterday. The match, which was held behind-closed-doors, was an opportunity for QPR officials to assess some trialists but was also significant for another Australian.

Former Glory player Nick Ward starred in the match, scoring the first goal and setting up the second. Ward ravaged the Barnet defence in the first half after scoring a 15-yard shot after just six minutes. Eight minutes later, Ward then picked out Ben Sahar – who is on loan from Chelsea – with a through ball for the Rangers’ second.

It is unclear whether 35-year-old Bosnich is pursuing a return to first-team football but he admitted he was interested in a comeback after his involvement in UK reality TV show The Match, in which celebrities played football against former professional players.

At the time he said: “I wanted it to be my final farewell but I had such a good time and talking to the players made me have second thoughts.

"When people you look up to, like Bryan Robson, say 'Why don't you start playing again?', you have to listen."


Queens Park Rangers: Bosnich, Trialist, Bignot, Curtis, Shimmin, Rehman, St Aimie (Arthur 68’), Baily, Ward (Rose 75’), Sahar, Baidoo (Coyne 46’)

Desmond's New Tactical Direction Part I

See below for a blueprint of the new tatical and technical direction of GSE.

Starring Kerlon and a thuggish defender, we see textbook attacking play, dubbed "the seal", which will be employed in the next GSE match, or whenever Rod returns to the fold. Chook should take inspiration from the tactics employed to stop "the seal's" progress next time he is in a one on one situation as last man.



More to come.
