What a cracker by Tan!!!

Devoid of ideas on what to write, responding to jlo's tag on the tagboard has given me inspiration on what to blog about in the wee hours of the night.

My stupendous football goal

Its a bright cooling evening here at Toa Payoh Arena, whereby two great teams have gathered to do battle on the pitch today, in what could be a potential title-decider. Gunning for the top after being billed pre-season as underdogs, LorongAhSoo FC have surprised many a skeptic and are fast closing in on the title. A recent good run of form saw them swept aside many tough opponents in convincing fashion, with cracking goals from Jlo the Ball-destroyer & Dangerous Dan, assisted (albeit extremely luckily) by Seth the Dog and Alvin the Poacher.

The team today is captained by inspirational leader Muscular Glen, who has recently suffered a dip in form. That can only be explained by his recent experience with the infamous illness, queerly named "ORD", which plummets a man back into the depths of unfitness and transform him into something of a swine. Effects of the illness include severe lack of stamina, a Fatty Layer over ABS (FLABS), and addiction to dota. This has hampered Muscular Glen's performances on the pitch, but I'm sure he'll want to make amends today and prove the critics wrong.

On the other side of the pitch, we have Toa Payoh Indians FC, a group of indians from Toa Payoh. Stereotypically, they're good.

*beep*

The referee blows the whistle! And we're off!

Some quick passing exchanges and a few tough tackles are the story of the day. Both teams quickly warm the hands of the opposition's keeper.

Keeper Seth the Dog throws a slow ball out to Muscular Glen, but he gets tackled! He loses the ball in a dangerous position, and Indian 1 must score!!

OHHHH WHAT A SAVE FROM SETH THE DOG. Pure class, perfectly suited for the role of keeper, unfortunately not suited for any other role. Oh that mistake by Muscular Glen could have been so costly.

Muscular Glen seems out of his depth at the moment. There were questions regarding his match fitness and his recent lack of form, and there have been calls for the manager (who is also Muscular Glen) to drop him, in essence, to drop himself. Fortunately, the manager has decided against it and once again, allowing the world to view his talent, but will he produce the goods for LorongAhSoo FC?

And Jlo, gets the ball in defence, passes to Alvin the really lazy Poacher, who controls it scrappily. Muscular Glen calls for the ball, Alvin gives it to him. They're still in defence but they're under heavy pressure. Muscular Glen finds a gap and plays a 1-2 with Alvin, who gives him back a lousy bouncing ball.

Muscular Glen takes the ball, but he's being squeezed by two people!! What will he do?? Muscular Glen is pushed to the side with considerable force but he has somehow managed to kick the ball despite being so roughly man-handled! With a majestic swing of his boot, he connects with the ball sweetly!!! The ball starts to fly towards Indian Keeper's goal. It looks like its heading straight for the top corner!! Indian Keeper attempts a desperate dive!! NO CHANCE!! HE HAD NO CHANCE!!! MUSCULAR GLEN SCORES ONE OF THE BEST GOALS OF ALL TIME!!! WHAT A CRACKER SON!!! WHAT A CRACKER!!! THAT IS GENIUS! THAT IS GENIUS! YOU DON'T BUY THEM, THEY DON'T COME IN PACKETS. THIS INCREDIBLY MUSCULAR MAN HAS SCORED AN INCREDIBLE GOAL. I AM FLABBERGASTED AND AMAZED AT WHAT I'VE SEEN, AND THE CROWD IS TOO! I AM TRULY BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO WITNESS THIS GOAL TODAY!! HIS TEAMMATES EMBRACE HIM AND THE CROWD ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT HERE. IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS..

*commentator catches his breath*

Let's see the replay



What an amazing player. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, we are unable to show you the rest of Muscular Glen's exploits at the Toa Payoh Arena.

Goodnight!
