03/19/2018

With an always highly-contested game coming vs Oldstars, Fram was facing a shortage of players with some out due to red cards, injuries & others with out of town plans...more on that later. Sat was spent with emails to confirm anyone else that could play & texts to check statuses. Finally it seemed there would be 12 total but one never knows. Upon walking into the locker room at 8:59am the NN Editor-in-Chief didnt even notice 1 of the players ready to play...Sheldon shockingly not only there but rather early! As the players were coming in another shock as Vidar The Overlapper walked in after a season out raiding faraway lands with Bjorn Ironsides. So it looked like Fram would have the luxury of 1 sub and still hoped beer-guy Chirgy was on the way to play and with beer, he showed at 9:29. So Fram would have 2 subs against what looked like a full-strength Oldstars. It was also discovered that the league coordinator showed up at the field to collect past-due league dues from Oldstars, if none received they would be forfeiting the game...but Joe broke out the checkbook to pay the league dues & Raul his game dues.

It started a little shaky in the back as Corey in his new lace-free boots hammered a pass back to Litty and a couple others were short or sketchy. In a coaching masterclass, caretaker Mgr Red Cockney put Sheldon at center mid and Chirgy up top and it showed dividends with Fram opening up spaces and creating chances. The rhythm got going and Maudi got down the right and crossed for Martin to slot home at the near-post, 1-0 Fram. Sheldon found out their #21 "played in Brasil" where it seems he mastered crying about every touch and trying to dribble too much. The ref said to cut out the "s**t", didnt give himself a yellow card for cussing and told the two to say something nice to each other...Sheldon remarked how amazing it was #21 played in Brazil, snarkily. The Brasiliero then tried to dribble too much again and was put under pressure and stripped with a great 3v1 chance that saw Chirgy's shot blocked out for a corner. A couple great opportunities were denied by solid saves and some shots from distance barely troubled. Chirgy was put thru on a cross and finished but called offside in a close one. The defense firmed up with a lot of help coming from others in D or midfielders. 1-0 at the half though Fram could/should have had 1-2 more.

The 2nd half had back & forth but no early goals for Fram and one major scare as a cross tried to sneak over Litty to the backpost but he back-peddled and tipped it out with their other attacker looming but he grasped it from the ground to keep the shutout. He then wasnt happy with 2 guys in the wall on an indirect kick from just inside the box near the goal line and instructed all 10 field players to get in the wall...questioned if that was enough guys, he told Wodey not to fu***ng worry about his game, to which Wodey told the ref, "thats a yellow card"...none given. On the other end a bunch of crosses came into the box, some better than others and Chirgy hit the post on a deflected shot. But he made amends a few mins later on some nice team passing and got to the top of the box and SLIIIPPED it to Martin who turned and buried it past the GK, 2-0. Then Sibby won his 49th slide-tackle on the day and started a mazy, multi-slide-tackling run and played it out to Chirgy who cut into the box and sealed the victory, 3-0. Late in the game and Sibby with a simple foul on their diving/crying Brasilian with of course Joe screaming for a yellow card...our #6 told him to shut it. A few shut ups back and forth & then Joe said, "have some respect #6"...the response, "you have some respect, and pay your bills on time!". Corey with a belly laugh.

So a solid 3-0 win with a Herculean effort by the depleted Fram side and on to the PBRs, Miller Lites, Red Stripes, DosXX and Stella's brought by Chirg.

Back to what caused such a shortage of players:

After a few week hiatus Nansen News is back for the Fram Masters game report. On a beautiful SoCal winter day Nansen Field was still in pristine condition and a strong contingent of players were on hand ready to play. One of those was not Sheldon as it seems he either has developed a sort of dyslexia where "In" actually means "Out" or like rookie Sean Lockhart, his water broke on Sunday morning. Or maybe he's being reeeeaaaly Trinidadian and he's just that late to the game .

Coach Wengersmart confused everyone and shook up the lineup with Tony actually going back into defense and later Corey going into midfield. After a slow start Fram got on the board as Chad "I cannot play defensive midfield" Lagerwey proved that he's all offense getting the first of his 2 goals on an easy tap in, that he almost misplayed over the goal-line after a GK mistake. Christophe with a couple nice finishes, securing his hat trick in the 2nd half and Eddie the Eagle Todd soared to head in a precise corner kick to round out the scorers. Other highlights include Rick not showing up for this game as Super Loaded Tony, Big Brian coming to the conclusion he might need rec specs, Corey not being able to spell Arsenal without an L, BMack having the game of his life & Goodman ignoring the call from Coach Mikkelzidane to warm up to go back in. 6-0 for a comfortable win, Todd & Sibby sharing the shutout in net, Sibby with a lovely jump in the last minute to grab a free ball in the box, those ballet classes are paying off. On to the B- rated beer selection as graded by Masters alum and Vikings O50 rook, Andrew Martz.

Nansen News Super edition.
Corey "SuperSmart3" Baim couldnt find the field. Erik was Super Stressed Corey couldnt find it and was super worried others wouldnt either. There was a super-size pile of dog s**t in the middle of the field. The referee was super adamant no one mention the Liverpool v Tottenham game as he was a Spurs fan, thus earning a "f'ing t**t" from Sibby. Edwin called in "super sick" in order to watch the aforementioned game. Tim Bohan wasnt at the game so it can be assumed he has the Super Flu. Sheldon super no-showed.

Fram eased into the game with possession, much to Super Tactician Mikkeliola's consternation, demanding thru balls, even though their only strength in the back was the speedy, super-dread-locked sweeper. A few early chances were created but the deadlock came as their GK cleared it right to SuperGoodman who trapped it and slipped it home from the top of the box. Christophe had a header saved well but got the rebound and laid it off, Kevin dummied and Wodey stroked it home, 2-0. A few more decent chances came, Eddie headed at their GK, Wodey had a long shot easily saved then blazed a 22-yarder over, Sibby did the same. Then a nice passing sequence saw Damien sent down the left, he laid it across and Christophe swept home with his left, 3-0 Fram cruising. But in regular fashion Elite found a goal on couple chances to clear the defense...Corey earning the team a 12-pack of beer as his f-bomb caught the ref's ears & brandished him a yellow.

2nd half was more cruise control and Elite somehow scored a 2nd on a freekick from the corner that found upper corner. Todd filled in on the day in nets and after a good first half with a couple solid saves realized he bought the gloves that dont hold the ball, coming out for a long, high freekick that slipped out of his hands and allowed an easy tap-in...3-3, Erik in super panic mode. Smart's heart was further tested as Mike hit an easy chance off the bottom of the bar & out, Kevin had a nice move saved well by the GK, Christophe had a chip go just over the bar from 35 yards out and Big Brian one taken away on offside call. The almost defibrillator-needing play coming as Paul played a square ball to Brian they almost picked off, resulting in a girlish yelp coming out of Coach Super CussBomb's mouth. After yet another round of cussing & yelling, Goodman told Coach Super to shut it as he wasnt helping. But then Mike was sent thru on a breakaway and he deftly chipped over the onrushing GK...4-3 Fram with 10 minutes to play. The win seemed in the bag but of course one more scare on a giveaway which saw one of their attackers in on Todd but he saved to his left...3 points on what should have been an easier game. SuperMackererer was not man of the match.

It was then on the the Wain/Fram Super Bowl party thankfully not featuring DJ Super Bummers. An epic competition was held during an entertaining game.

Nansen News game report - Fram vs Redondo Utd 1/21/18:
Nansen News Pitch Perfect Edition...dont get too excited Mackerererer, its not about your favorite movies but the condition of a glorious Mikkelsen Memorial Field at Nansen brought to you by Ragnar's Fish Company. Fram were welcomed back from the holidays with the field in pristine condition after some major work by Andy & his crew (Daisy). The opponents Redondo Utd had plenty of players which confused Coach Mikkelichick in his pregame speech as many seemed to be new so he wasnt sure if they always play us tough or not. And in a surprise move, Edwin "Karius" Todd went in net looking like Gabor Kiraly from Hungary in his sweatpants:

Fram started well getting possession and moving the ball around and an early chance came as Mike got into the box and was taken down by the GK...but the AYSO U14G ref made no call. But the first goal came shortly as Mike played a ball down the right to Bourassa who crossed for Christophe to volley home. Then Corey got confused with Edwin in net and played a backpass right to their forward who strolled in alone and rounded Karius to tie the score. 6-pack from Corey for whoever can guess what was screamed from the bench?? Chirgy eased the Gaffer's pain getting a nice goal a few minutes later on a spin, turn, finish. Then Jeff "The Scone-Baker" Goodman made it 3-1 after Christophe took the ball into the box and laid it across the goal for Jeff to backheel it past their GK cheekily. He then ruined this great moment by missing what was an easy chip a few minutes later. The goals continued to come with BMack getting a couple nice ones & Christophe one on a breakaway. Coach Bi-polarssen was still panicky at 6-1 but at 8-1 wanted no more goals scored. It finished 9-1 and an easy 3 points. News of another All-stars loss brought laughs to the post-game beer celebration in the locker room. It was then discovered that Mackererer is sponsored not by Nike or Adidas or even Puma but by Oscar de la Renta and was seen toting his 1983 men's locker room pleather duffel bag as his soccer bag.
Paul got extremely excited asking where he could get one as it matches his Uggs.

New year = new things...recreational ma*****na is now legal in California, PV HS has new turf, Erik has a new virus, Wodey's "2018 is the Year of the Havapoo" t-shirt, Mackerer getting Man of the Match from his house in Newport, Andrew Martz has graduated to the O50's, Corey scoring a goal on a header.
New year sometimes means the same old things...Fram will miss easy chances, Tony giving the ball away, Burdue cant kick off new turf, Coach Smart yelling incorrect things, ManCity dominating the EPL, Boylie can bench his car, Chirgy doing a minimum 14 step-overs each time he gets it, post-games at Rock N Brews,

Fram came strong with 18 ready to play. Coach Mikkelourinho reminded everyone of his core tenets while battling the crabby throat virus he obtained making out with Duncan at the Rams game the night prior: we have a lot of players so we will make subs, Chad are you ready to start? you're not but just need to know if you are ready; take the ball to the line & cross, dont pass backwards, they always play us tough.. Fram showed some decent passing early but the rust was there, mainly in Fogo's boots as he gave it away much to Smart's chagrin. But opportunities were coming and Lags was sent thru and toe-poked it past the Div 40 coordinator to make it 1-0. Christophe and Chirgy then squandered their own breakaway chances...Lags informing them later to always go toe-bash. Wodey had a bullet from the top of the box go just wide and Chirgy had a "header" go off the bar. Then a handball in the box by PV and a mad scramble for the ball...luckily Christophe got to it first keeping Chirgy away from it...Paul stepped up and rolled it home, 2-0. Late in the half and over on the bench Lags remarked to Wodey the patented Fram bad pass giveaway goal was due...two mins later Corey was stripped but they couldnt take advantage of the counter. Halftime 2-0.

The 2nd half started well as Chirgy played Wodey down the right who cut back inside and laid it off for Chirgy to bend one home from the top of the box. 3-0. Wodey then spurned a couple opportunities flapping one over the bar and having one blocked from the 6...but the goals were coming. Bourassa finished off a nice passing sequence to make it 4-0 and then Rick made it 5-0 on a backpost header. Then the fun began....Jeff "I definitely drank more than the entire PV team over the holidays" Goodman was sent in on a breakaway from 35 yards out. As he was nearing the goal the defender was closing on him like he was the Millenium Falcon in a Empire tractor beam...and as he was about to shoot he tumbled over in a heap not even getting the shot off...hilarity ensued on the bench. Then Corey made a plea to Coach Wengersen to go up top. It was granted and just a few minutes later scored on a header from Eddie's cross...he then did his best Mikkelsen impression and subbed himself out. 6-0 and 3 points to take to Rock N Brews. Where Tony celebrated with a mountain high pile of kale.

Good news: Brian found his "lost" red jersey from last weeks game at North HS...it was in his washing machine
Bad news: fires all over Socal. the direct effect that they may have kept Coach Magellansen in town to lead Fram vs Beach Cities.
Good news: the fires did not keep him in town and he made it up to his niece's college graduation where he spent the weekend being Uncle Pervy at all the college parties, resulting in a much quieter sideline on sunday.
Bad news: the team & players would not know: "they always play us tough", "someone with the keeper", "do not pass it in the back", "get down the line, cross, score", "everyone has h**pes"......
Good news: Keith received a text from Erik that Chirgy and Sheldon were both on their way, on time
Bad news: Chirgy forgot his uniform thus in effect almost negating him being on time. "on time" for Sheldon means 2 minutes earlier than he usually shows up...so late.
Good news: Fram did not give up an early goal and got on the board first as Scharmy got down the left and crossed for Christophe to head home, 1-0.
Bad news: Rat Goodman stepped in for his doppelganer Jeff and played a back-square ball directly to Beach Cities for a counter which their forward finished nicely from the top of the box... .
Good news: Fram continued to press and combine and Jeff showed up and played square pass to Wodey who then played Goodman back wide down the line, his cross ended up at the back post and Wodey played it back to Sheldon who finished to make it 2-1

Rick then finished a 3rd just before the half to make it 3-1 and then it seems he was gifted another chance by their defender and got a 4th before the halftime whistle, 4-1.

Halftime the good news: Fram in complete control and Manchester City defeating ManU to break the record with 14th EPL win in a row
Halftime the bad news: ManU somehow scored on City.

The 2nd half continued as the 1st had gone, Fram in control, getting chances and making their GK make saves.
Good news: a fifth goal came
Bad news: it was Tony that headed it in from 6 yards out...the crosser stating after the game, "I tried and tried to find someone else open and hate myself for crossing to him but he was wide-open".
Good news: a dominating Fram up 5-1 with 20 minutes remaining
Bad news: the next 20 minutes

Beach Cities made it 5-2 on a header off a free kick into the box Nas avoiding a yellow for his blatant push. They then got another on a shot that hit the post then Brian's head as he was diving and ricochet in...5-3. Then 5-4 after looking like Swiss cheese with a few minutes remaining.
Good news: Fram hung on for the 5-4 win, 3 points and a 3-pt lead on Beach Cities with a game in hand.
Bad news: Coach Magellansen blasting the team for somehow giving up 4 goals, which would never happen on his watch...same as Rottenburg who said check the +/- for who was on the field for the last 2 goals.
Good news: Tony got the game winner.
Bad news: TONY got the game winner.
Good news: Manchester City 11 points up on 2nd place.
Bad news: ManU is still in 2nd and Tony was too scared to bet a 6-pack.
Good news: a warm afternoon with beers in the locker room and under the tree cheering on (see: heckling) Fram Vikings.
Bad news: they somehow lost 2-1 after being up 1-0 on weak team.
Good news: its Asst Editor-in-Chief Dexter's bday today.
Bad news: by doing this in the pic below, he may have picked up crabs while watching the Manhattan Beach fireworks last night at SLG's.

12/05/2017

With an away game at North Torrance HS and the Saturday night Fram Holiday party at Nansen, some late arrivals were to be expected even with an 11am kickoff...one of them was not Coach Super Smart who got lost on the way...seems living his entire life in the South Bay did not provide any benefit and this thing called a Smart phone being a great resource with these things called Apps, specifically Google Maps which can be of great help. The 9am game was delayed 15 minutes pushing ours back which Chirgy instinctively knew and showed at 11:13 just in time for kickoff. Even Christophe found it ok after taking a train from a remote Japanese countryside whiskey distillery & flying in from Toyko crossing over the Intl date line and arriving in time for the game. Sheldon seems to still be on his way...

Fram started well surprisingly not giving up a goal in the first 4 minutes and created a couple decent chances. Chad "my brother should be Fram GM" Lagerwey got us on the board about 20 mins in after Webber got down the left and crossed with a nice headed finish. HBSC did manage to get some half chances and Brian did have to make a solid save. Paul got an early yellow, raising the hopes he might get a red and have to buy the team a keg. The second would not come and at the half it was 1-0. The real highlight of the half being when Nas yelled some angry Greek thing at Paul that gave everyone a chuckle.

The 2nd half started with Chirgy taking note that Corey should probably invest in some new sliding shorts...it seems Sheldon wore them last week and Big Brian wore them the week before... . It was mostly Fram possession with counter attacks by HBSC. On a nice passing sequence Webber was taken down from behind in the box, PK to Fram. As Wodey & Paul nodded to each other for Paul to step up, Chirgy went running after the ball to take it himself...a few snickers could be heard but it was set. He then proceeded to blast the ball high and wide right, kinda like BMack's that went into the Nansen canyon. After the game HBSC mgr Jesse Torres said he was lucky he bought the balls with GPS as it ended up in Gardena and he was lucky to find it in someones yard.

So still 1-0 but Fram kept pressing. Then Nas sent Bourassa thru on a breakaway, the ball seeming to keep rolling away from him in the wind on the turf, but he got to it at the last second and deftly chipped past Tuler into the sidenetting (no not Brendan's email box). Webber then did his best dance move, tip-toeing back and forth and ultimately poking home from close range, 3-0. Chirgy got the 4th as he did what Nas called, "The Polish Dance", high-stepping into the box then smashing one that Tuler couldnt hold onto and a nice 4-0 win

Postgame Coach Smart wanted to go for celebratory beers but wondered if there were any places in this remote part of the world that sold things like beer and food..."how do people survive out here?!" he exclaimed. Believe it or not a place called Schooner was just 2 miles away...directions were given. Many cold beers we consumed and our sultry Slovakian waitress sold Smart on shots for everyone.

On Saturday night it was the annual Fram Holiday party at Nansen...everyone giving thanks that DJ Bummers was not DJ'ing...

11/28/2017

November 23, 1957...Elvis' Jailhouse Rock was #1 on the charts, Eisenhower was President, The Adventures of TinTin was the popular TV show and one Fabian Proano was born. To celebrate this milestone & his trade to the Fram Over 60 team a birthday celebration took place Sat at Nansen. First was a soccer game featuring his family & friends, Fabians Vikings in red vs Fabians Broncos in white. Coach Mikkelombardi managed the red team & the white team by Fabians sister in law with legendary players of yore taking the field such as Johnny Mac, Alex Proano, Lauren Proano, Marky Proano, Brian Mackerer, Andrew Kristof, Mauricio Escobar, Annie V, Richard Tran, Brad Wolf, Carrie Newburn Schmidt, Jeff Goodman, Trudi Sharpsteen, Matt Mahowald, Shane Hickson (a loud "what?!" erupted when he emerged from the China cabinet into the locker room) and more...along with a slew of youngsters to do the running. An entertaining game centered on heckles & the hopes of not pulling any muscles. Sitters were missed, fouls occurred, the most egregious surprisingly not coming from a Proano but a Hickson. In the end beers starting flowing and many laughs had and it was on to the post-game party.

The marquee had Big Bungalo headlining the music featuring Duncan "aka Donald aka Big Tuna aka DJ Bummers" Wain on the drums & Robert "will I remember lyrics" Gordillo fronting...but in what will feature in next week's VH1 Behind The Music - Big Bungalow aka Oasis 2...not because of their music but because their guitarist & bassist brothers got in a fight in rehearsals & broke up the band. The real bad news being that DJ Bummers would be torturing all with his playlist instead.

There was dancing, drinking, food trucks, Goodman losing his wife, Zamos sharing tales of his sons college adventures, SLG scaring the ladies away from the locker room when he showered, BMack only drinking girly drinks, Storey showing up late, Stu passing out in his car, taking pics with the big pic of a young shirtless Fabian & a slideshow showcasing some of his life highlights. Fabian thanked all in a speech & told the tale of how he stalked Linda Henningsen Proano into going out on a date with him. Then for the strong, the after party at Villa Proano with more super loadedness, ci**rs, milking & more.
Happy 75th Fabianski!

11/20/2017

Sunday morning and Coach Smartacus was still trying to figure out what sayings like "IDK", "IDI", "LMFAO", "keep the ball", "you should have water, sir", "i've prescribed you Valtrex", and "please dont hold my hand Mr Spacey" mean....upon his arrival 3 minutes before kickoff Chirgy cleared up "IDI" for him meaning that he was Idi Amin for the game...Smartacus is still figuring...

Entering the locker room to get ready, Scharmy was confused as to what the surface was we would be playing on and brought his flats instead of cleats so he had to turn around and head home to get them. And Sharpy was in town ready to jump in goal if need be or just stick to hanging on the sideline heckling Erik.

Last game before Thanksgiving break and Fram would be thankful it was an innocuous Elite team (whoever gave the team their name obviously confused as to the meaning of that word much like Smartacus) as the squandering of scoring continued. Fram dominated possession but couldnt break thru against their forward-turned-goalkeeper who made more runs into attack than half their team. Culminating with a fantastic save on a diving header after a chipped cross by Chirgy into the box. 0-0 at half and Coach Mikkelwenger's entire halftime focused on the fact that we had been megged 16 times during the first half and to stop getting megged...brilliant advise at practice but those megs counted for 0 during the game.

2nd half was nervy as Fram controlled play but every shot went right at their GK. Then about 15 minutes in, Martin went in up top and Scharmy stole the ball on the right, beat the defender and crossed for Martin to poke (see: bundle) home. 1-0 and Coach Pepellsen praising his own substitution plan. A few minutes later Chirgy got the ball at the top of the box and cheekily chipped it back post finding side-netting easily, 2-0 and Fram now cruising. But more goals would not come much to Smart's chagrin, their GK getting hit right in the chest each time and even tipping over a Chirgy chip that seemed to catch him out. Then the pass of the day was made as Fram looked to clear on an Elite push into the box, as it was coming out a diagonal ball was played across from their right midfield, 5 Fram defenders watched it go by right to their goalkeeper-turned-forward who took on Brian 1v1 and just as he was about to round him Brian tipped it away to safety. Some confused Fram players asked the linesman for offside only to hear, "it was your player who passed it"....seems it was our now suspected mole, errr maybe rat, Dr Jeff Goodman who had made the pass, this after him clearing a goal-bound header from Mike last week...shutout intact but

The game ended 2-0 win to Fram and luckily no harming of the canyon was done by any BMack shots and the postgame heckling began. Corey was all smiles accepting the winning 6-pack from Santa McCarthy earned by the shocking 2-0 Arsenal win over Tottenham...though everyone, especially Smartacus, was disappointed there would be no shaving of the beard in the locker room. Goodman lobbied for his pass to be left out of the report but with nothing amazing to give that was not happening. And with no kids game Fram Masters were able to encroach on the Fram Vikings bench, opening the doors to mass heckles...the best the sight of Duncan "DJ Bummers" Wain sitting in his wheelchair on the bench waiting to go into the game:

Tony was ready to help wheel Duncan out (pics).
he did finally enter the game without his wheelchair which might have been a mistake as he was later seen tumbling over clumsily in the corner, causing quite a few giggles from the peanut gallery...

Coach Smartacus also described how he reads the FIFA Coaching A license book (pic).

In Fram player-related news, Boylie was spotted at Whole Foods where they had to widen the aisles for him to fit thru without taking out all the food

Also our own Kurt Allen has been named the Beach Reporter South Bay's Sexiest Realtor 2017...congrats Kurty!

Happy Thanksgiving!

11/13/2017

Like the prodigal son, or the swallows of Capistrano, or the Mack, or the Dragon, or the Jedi, or Sweden to the World Cup, or the h**p on Erik's lip, Nansen News game report has returned. Also returning for the big game on Sunday vs Avanti were Detective McKaig, Chris Bourassa and Eric S after time off from injuries. An out of sorts Fram team looking to stave off a recent run of bad results could not afford another loss but a tough Avanti side stood in the way. A shakeup of the lineup saw Nas go into left midfield (what?!) and defender-turned midfielder-turned back to defender Tony "Punkin Toe" Fogo go to left back. Jeff "i'm better looking than my doppelganger" Goodman and Mike Brown started up top. Avanti brought the pressure early with Fram working hard all over the field to defend as a team. The early chances went Avanti's way and they should have scored 15 minutes in but missed their chances. Coach Erik Spacey was busy on the sideline figuring out when Coach Chirgwin could join him in the shower at Nansen...errrr when he would have to sub him off so he could leave for his 1-hr drive to coach his kids' game. With 10 minutes left in the half it was determined 5 more minutes. At which time Avanti broke thru to score 1-0.

At halftime the focus was the need to get more and better possession and that they would wilt in the 2nd half just like the first game against them. The lineup did some shuffling again with the injury trio filling time up top and Tony and Wodey going into center midfield and Nas going back to LB. Fram came out better and started getting good possession and getting forwards into space. Avanti were still dangerous but the D did well to swarm when possible and kept them out. But just as things were looking good Paul was fouled and dispossessed, no call, and they countered and scored to make it 2-0. But like SLG at Shellback, Fram continued to order vodka after vodka, errrr....continued to find passes and press. But it seemed luck wasnt to be on our side as on a great chance on a corner a Fram player blocked what looked like a goal-bound header by a teammate. Frustration brewing but the breakthru came as their GK spilled a shot and Mike burst in to chip it over him, 2-1 and Fram back in it with plenty of time. But a few minutes later Brian Burdue decided he would change the game with a little amazing foresight...a high ball came into the box and he jumped (if you can call it that) and spilled it right to their forward who walked it into the net, 3-1 and all seemed lost. But again Fram mustered on getting some space in midfield and pressuring their backline. It paid off as Mike was chopped down in the box...the penalty calmly finished by Rottenburg, 3-2 and a glimmer of hope with 14 minutes remaining. Play and the tempers were getting more heated and Kevin was fouled down the right and took out their defender, free-kick to Fram but yellow to Kevin with the linesman saying he could have seen red. Their j-hole #6 held on to the ball delaying the game, then taking exception to Wodey getting it away from him in an effort to speed up play. A few of their players then delaying more with continued arguing and one picked up the ball and walked away, yellow card for that jackass. Taking minutes of wasted time Wodey told the ref it was taking 20 mins to take the kick, the ref said he would add 20 mins. Paul gave their #11 a little touch in the chest and of course he went down in a heap holding his face. Their #6 continued to talk s**t, threatening our #6. Then Eric was sent thru on a breakaway and he slipped it past the GK, 3-3! Not satisfied with the tie and a few minutes remaining Fram continued to press, much to Coach Mikkelsarachan's chagrin. Christophe almost beat their last defender for a great chance at goal, Kevin broke down the right and had his cross go just behind Christophe and Eric was just offside on another breakaway chance (and took 2 fists to the face from the GK for his efforts). Then Fram won a corner kick and Sibby rose like a sockeye salmon swimming home to spawn and slammed home the header from 9 yards out, 4-3 Fram! Wodey immediately told the Ref we did not need that 20 minutes of added time now, but there were a couple to go. It all came to a boil as their #20 cleated our #6 high on his hamstring on a flicked header and then cursed at him...yellow for that chump. Their #6 decided to bring his s**t again delaying the kick, making threats...our #6 standing over the free-kick at midfield laughing in his face...and ultimately in broken English their #6 said, "i'll f**kiing see you after the game off the field", yellow card for that chump. Meanwhile as the minutes were ticking waiting for us to be able to take the kick, Coach Obvious was yelling at Corey to "get back!!" But their players and sideline continued to yell and argue and the Ref finally had enough and blew the whistle for full time....amazing comeback for Fram to get the win. The only postgame negative was Joe Blacmange on our f'ing sideline hi-5ing Fram players coming off the field...get the hell out of here.

Postgame celebratory beers at Schooners were a must where Brian said he put all his effort of he "jump" into Sibby so he could sky for the goal and also it made it more exciting of a comeback win...thanks for the foresight BB.
