The Great Gasby

End of season spesh: the Great Gasby ***************************************************************************************** In a move rarer than hen’s teeth or rocking horse shit, I have decided to write a blog to mark the end of another season of football on a Friday night at Coram Fields. As July draws to a close* and with it the culmination of theContinue reading “The Great Gasby”

Why Don’t You?

Welcome back one and all, for the greatest show on Earth, or the greatest show in WC1N, at any rate. Another Summer – if you can call it that – has slipped by, and yet another new season awaits. As it says on the blog: who played, who scored, who shouted, who committed handball, whoContinue reading “Why Don’t You?”

Friday 5th July: Fabz, Rain, Ronaldo

Welcome back to the sporadic match report blog, brought to you by one half of the core management team for Coram Fields Friday night football. As I had to pay the renewal for the WordPress subscription last week I thought I’d better get my money’s worth, so here goes… Shorn of our dear leader andContinue reading “Friday 5th July: Fabz, Rain, Ronaldo”

Coram Boys: May round-up

Apologies for the recent radio silence; I thought I’d try and write up a round-up of the past few weeks’ action, albeit not necessarily chronologically. The recent development of having not one but two specialist goalkeepers – Marco and Rustam – has been manna from heaven for those of us that loathe going in goal,Continue reading “Coram Boys: May round-up”

All the goals, all the action, all the people

A quick round-up from last Friday for you now, as the two teams of eight shared fourteen goals – equally – between them. If I had the time I’d prepare some sort of data visualisation of who scored the goals, but my GCSE Grade C Maths tells me that Gio scored exactly a third ofContinue reading “All the goals, all the action, all the people”

Another match report

Last Friday’s game – the 9th February – saw seven goals shared between the two teams. Which were as follows: Yellows: Simon Gas, me, Remy, Steve, Nick, Oleksandr, Alan, Morgan… and Chris Blues: Marco Neuer, Geoff, Joe, Simon Ink, Johnnie, Will, Anatoily and Yev After the usual jiggery pokery with the line-ups, we settled onContinue reading “Another match report”

Of all the people…

Last week, we had more people than you could shake a stick at – 20 to be precise – but despite that, I thought we had a decent game. Just the one goal in it, too. Here are your teams: Yellows: Simon Ink, Parminder*, Simon Gas, Klaus, Joe, Chris, Will, Anatoily, Gio… and Yev Blues:Continue reading “Of all the people…”

Auf Wiedersehen, Johannes

Welcome back and Happy New Year, one and all. As is the custom in January, especially after such a lengthy Christmas hiatus, we had more legs than the Folie Bergere on Friday night, with (in the end) twenty men turning up to burn off some calories and stay warm. It also marked the final appearance*Continue reading “Auf Wiedersehen, Johannes”

X-Gio

Morning all, welcome to another week. Before I get into Friday’s game, a quick word about the game on the 20th October. It would be remiss not record in the annals of the Friday Night Football saga the wonderful goal that David scored; I think his team ran out winners by several goals, but theContinue reading “X-Gio”
