It’s been a very tough season for The Railway workers this season, and tonight was emblematic. Utility king Chris Reiser between the sticks (Marc was in New York) did a terrific job as the goal was bombarded from the get go. With Nick Esp red carded and sitting out a one match ban – hiding [...]
Two career best highlight reel shots did for Loko who were the better team. Further proof that football is a cruel mistress.
The wheels have come of the Lokomotiv the last couple of games, as we’ve found ourselves outclassed by the technically superior eastern european powerhouses of the Tuesday Over 30 Division. Having rather capitulated to SV 22 last week we were in danger of making 6-0 our new favorite scoreline. Though heads dropped at 2-0 down [...]
The shared crew of Lokomotiv and Internazionale have racked up a record breaking 4 red cards since Sunday. Another two last night, in what just might go down as the worst officiated game in the history of football. Without question the first two goals were at least 5 yards off-side, with assistant referees either unsure [...]
Short of a couple of regulars – and always anticipating a bit of rough and tumble – Loko turned in a creditable performance against Silverlake last evening. The defense was sublime, and there were moments of the best ever football from The Railwaymen. Three or four chances went begging, of course – and the opportunity [...]
Seriously, could the ref have been any more biased ? Four goals disallowed the railwaymen for off-side that weren’t, two that actually were. Nonetheless with 11 blokes and second choice goalie and midfield magic maker Christian F between sticks Loko were up for it tonight – alas, Martin G was still suffering a dead leg [...]
Barely 8 minutes had passed when Nick Espiritu bagged his second Loko goal in as many appearances. His tireless work up top with Sep Foroutani ensured that there was plenty of pressure on the ‘lagos back line, giving them precious little time to breath in the first half of this hairy chested encounter. Second half [...]
When Nick Espiritu thrashed the ball into the Sentinels net from 17 yards out in the 9th minute, it looked like the cycle of slow starts for Lokomotiv was broken. But with the most composed of defensive performances, it wasn’t to be as the 6 forwards couldn’t finish a packet of crisps or a cocktail [...]
I wonder if the categories show up once there is a little something in there …
