21 Fucking 2

The Sunburned Zebras enjoyed a torrid evening as they dropped a heart-breaking 21-2 loss to Barnfield.
On a freezing cold night, the Zebras' six-man squad was exposed by the elements and a younger, swifter, more talented opposition.
Following the announcement that Paildo had been given a free transfer and apparently played his last game in the famous pink and black stripes, Freemisco named his customary six-man squad. Bexfieto briefly threatened to walk out in protest but eventually stayed to play his part.
In many ways the game was all about Freemisco.
Not only did he get his tactics and squad selection wrong (as usual) he also produced the worst performance ever seen by a Zebra player.
Quite simply he was abject, routinely giving the ball away, failing to make regulations tackles or track his man, allowing opponents to waltz through the midfield area he claimed to be protecting and generally proving about as effective as a chocolate teapot. The only time he got a shot on target all game was when he intercepted an aimless cross-field pass and blasted it into his own net.
In truth it was not a great performance as Barnfield hit the post twice and Ricadisco made four fine saves before the floodgates opened.
Reito and Tattersao both scored good goals to avoid the ignominy of a shut out but with Freemisco encouraging the opposition to score at will as he delivered a fine impersonation of a pink and black lettuce, it was no surprise that the Zebras were overrun.
Ricadisco performed heroics in goal, turning away numerous goal bound shots and for once failing to dive over any soft shots or let the ball roll through his legs. It mattered not that he was beaten 21 times as he still turned in a man of the match performance, although in the greater scheme of things the man who played the key role in Barnfield racking up 21 goals was, of course, Freemisco.
