Gravytrain Penalty shoot out continued…

The Ball didn’t come down on the pitch, let’s just leave it at that…. No actually lets expand on that slightly…. The Ball came down just over the other side of the A3.

At first we were all shocked. We knew he couldn’t kick a ball to save his life but this was just ridiculous! The immediate shock soon turned into laughter, laughter so loud it could be heard be heard from the other side of the A3.

The penalty shoot out was called off for fear of the remaining participants being put off by the actions of one player.

Even Stevens

This week the team did well in their first match back in more than 3 weeks – After going 3 – 0 down in the first half the Gravytrain limited team managed to bring the score level with 5 mins to go. Great saves from Andrew in the final minutes kept the score even and gravytrain in the game. Unfortunately they were unable to convert the few opportunities they had in the dying seconds and the score remained level.  Final score 3 - 3.

Draw for Gravytrain ltd FC

Although being infront for most of the match Gravytrain Limited fc only managed to come away with a draw. Two Goals each from Will Martinez and Ryan Copleand put Gravytrain Limited 4-2 infront. The second half saw Gravytrain Limited return to their previous form and allowed the other team to get back into the game. A few deflected shots that found their way into the back of our net meant that it was a nailbiting finish to the game – 4 -4 the end score.

The Manager will have a lot to think about before next week’s match . Many people think that he may adopt Raffa Benitez’s  squad rotation strategy, but i think the likelihood is he might do a Mourinho a just leave.

Kevin back for Gravytrain Limited fc

It’s been several weeks now and Gravytrain Limited fc are still looking to join a competetive league! No major changes to report since the last post. Kevin should be coming back this week after suffering a knee injury a while back. It looks like the injury has finally healed and last night it certainly looked like Kevin had fully recovered when he showed up for training.

One of his Gravytrain Limited fc colleagues had this to say:

Gravytrain Limited Nick:  ”Kevin looks better than ever before! We think his leg has been out of alignment all his life and the latest injury, although painful, has actually done him a favour by knocking his leg back into alignment.” 

Reporter: “What does this mean for Kevin’s footballing career?”

Gravytrain Limited Nick: “Well, I guess this will mean his shots will be on target from now on.”

Steve Slade makes debut goalkeeper appearance with Gravytrain Limited

Steve Slade got earnt his place back in the team with a remarkable performance in goal for Gravytrain Limited. The ”loose-cannon left-back” had gone AWOL a few days ago but was found asleep on a park bench grasping a can of special brew,  in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Despite his inability to see he agreed to play in goal for Gravytrain Limited.

The match started off well with a few good early saves from Steve and a few chances at the other end. Sadly the Gravytrain team went one – nil down despite dominating most of the play. The opponents, Limited FC, had Petr Cech in goal which made it difficult to score, but finally 10 mins in Alex scored a blinder of a goal when he nutmegged the entire team (including a few Gravytrain Limited teammates) to get us on score sheet.  The match was very close but if it had not been for both keepers being on form it would have turned into an absolute goal fest. End score: Gravytrain Limited 4 – Limited FC 8.

We put the Limited in Gravytrain Limited FC!

Gravytrain Limited FC commented on their growing concern surrounding their lack of fit players. Assistant manager Rich Bunce had this to say: “We are very concerned”.

Due to recent injury, Kevin and Andrew are unable to play – Andrew has torn a ligament in his ankle and Kevin forgot to take his cod-liver oil tablets. Theses two semi-crucial players could be out for a further 3 weeks. Also on the list of unavailable players is Simon Gersh who is still waiting for his work permit to arrive despite numerous attempts by Gravytrain Limited  FC to contact the Kazakhstani company that own him; Nick L who is out on location shooting ‘Fist Of Fury 2′; And finally, Steve Slade who is currently AWOL but rumours say he has a note.

This week Gravytrain Limited  have a total of 4 players available and are in need of a least 1 more to complete their 5-a-side team. Will they have to forfeit the game? Stay glued to the official Gravytrain Limited  FC blog site for further updates!

gravytrain limited FC – 24/07/07

Unfortunately this week the Gravytrain Limited  fc football match was cancelled due to the recent bad weather. The opposition, Oxford-under-thames United, were unable to attend the match and were reported to have drowned their sorrows at the nearest watering hole: The Soaked Bishop. The opposition had allegedly taken the day off to discuss tactics before the match. The captain, Marti Pellow, looked out of the first floor window of the local pub and it suddenly dawned on him that his dreams of playing against the legendary Gravytrain Limited FC had been washed up.
