After having really bad games for the last 2 sundays, it was a great relief to get my scoring boots back on today. Yet scoring all the goals doesn't mean anything when the opponent comes back to register a draw. The referee may have had a crap game in charge but it does little for that bitter taste in the mouth.
Despite getting those goals , the draw meant that i should have converted the other 2 or 3 chances that came my way. Of course, i missed an absolute sitter but in my defence, the referee had blown for offside and i got distrated. Really! That was a major talking point afterwards as I could not have been in an offside position as i came late into the box to control sanjeev's CUTBACK. I use "cutback" not only because its a common term in soccer BUT because it means that the low cross was passed behind the person who played the pass, thus none of his team mates could have been offside. Everyone was behind the original player with the ball! Makes sense? And yah i was distracted.
The ref's no-nonsense, "blow whistle first, come up with excuse later" policy hardly made things any easier for us, or any sense for that matter. Sayed (our big Central defender) was pushed by their player and the ref gave them a free kick, as Sayed had "handled" the ball. Truly WTF was the phrase of the match and i bet everytime the ref blew, at least one player had that on his mind. And i bet sometimes everyone on the pitch had no clue what was going on, including the man in the middle himself. All that being said, I would like to state for the recored that i'm NOT a sour grape or a sore loser (or drawer).
I also felt that there were times when the opponent's passing sliced our defence too easily. Not many, but this can definitely be overcome by more playing time together.
The best part came right at the end when the opponent's defender spoke to me. He said that I should take a drug test after the match. Wah, just because i'm the only Malay guy in my team, you think i take drugs issit.. He explained that since i was a bit too pacy for their backline, i might have taken steroids. Right. Against their static defence, even a dead squirrel would have seemed faster. Still.. it made me think about the drug innuendo and my heritage and 2 seconds after i walked away from him, the Scene from KILL BILL Vol 1 flashed through my mind. You know the one where Boss Tanaka questioned O-ren Ishii's heritage and promptly had his head cut off.. That was shit-ass violent but i thought the quote is shit-ass good so here it is..:

"The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or my American heritage as a negative is i collect your fuckin head. Just like this fucker here, now.. if any of you sonsabitches got anything else to say, now's the fuckin time...
.. I didn't think so."
God i love that movie.
