After the shenanigans at the weekend the Götehoops looked forward to this game like they would the apocalypse. Players were phoning in excuses faster than a feckin pish idol contest. After the unprecedented defeat to the rather limited outfit AIF, confidence hit an all time low in the Götehoops dressing room. Players were shitting it. They didn't want to have to go through another post mortem and end up in jail again for drunken disturbances. Other players refused point blank to offer their boots to starting players. Selfishness began to raise it ugly head and creep into the Celtic squad! Flair players Jim, Simon, Barry and Markus were out of action with Thommo and Dan starting in midfield and Colm going into Centre back.

The game started alright for the hoops against a bunch of older players from Skjutet. Make no mistake however, they were an experienced bunch and could play ball. BK Skjutet won the early exchanges but the hoops quickly upped a couple of gears. Thommo who was rather apathetic pre match began to actually put his foot on the ball and revel in his role in midfield. Dan and Jesper caused problems on the flanks while Nakamarko and Tornado Kelly held up the ball and linked up well with each other. The defence had a few shaky moments but overall they were well able to deal with the Bk Skjutet strikeforce. New daddy Daniel in goals dealt with all pressure in the box admirably with his safe hands. There was a few chances in the half with with Kelly having a shot on target , Dan having a go as well not to mention Stevies mad long throws into the box which caused bedlam in the opposition box. It looked like the half was going to finish goalless, that was until the Celts played the ball out wide to Slavic who in turn squared it to skipper Stevie who took a look at the goal, Put his head down and kicked that goddamn ball fairly ball. It sailed goalwards and went in off the far post leaving the keeper with nae chance. Glyn tried to get his head to it but just missed it! Stevie just ran back to the halfway line like it was the most natural thing in the world. I do this every game, its no big deal he nonchalantly told his team mates as they tried to somehow extract a smile out of him afterwards.

After an encouraging half time team talk the hoops went into the second half with a new found confidence. All the incidents of the weekend were quickly forgotten as the hoops looked to see out the half victorious. All was going well with Colm winning every header in defence and Slavic and Jesper, two players with a combined age of 25 having the beating of their opponents down the left flanks. Andreas used his kickouts to hit Glyn and Adrian upfront who won header after header like they were possessed by Niall Quinn and Chris Sutton respectively. Dan and Niall worked hard on the right and Thommo was really enjoying his run in the park. This is a rather enjoyable way to spend and evening with good friends and a jolly good game of football he whispered contently to Adrian. Unfortuantely for Thommo, later on it was all to wrong Big Time!

But until then the hoops were in control and Adrian, Thommo and Nakamarko all had attempts on goal. Glyn had a headed goal chalked off for a foul on the keeper. Stevie was seen smirking in midfield. The poor wee ref was completely scattered calling offsides and handballs out of nowhere. It was from a handball incident that Jesper was cautioned for kicking the ball away petulantly. He clobbered a defender soon after and received a red card shaming himself, his mother, his club and his skateboard. In that same moment Thommo walked off the field and no one was sure what had just happened. One look at Thommos eye said it all. It was the size of a basketball and the bold Thommo was less than impressed. He quickly turned into the guns of the Navarone kicking and smashing everything in sight. Apparently big Iain Dowie for Skjutet accidently walked into his face. Celtic without captain Stevie, Thommo and Jesper battled hard with Nakamarko re entering the fray and Ben making his début.

The hoops held out due to some epic defending and cool decision making in defence. Colm fitted in well at centre back and won all his headers thankfully not dragging his mayo curse of f**king up at the final hurdle with him. The defence and midfield managed to hold out for an extremely well earned win. Everyone shook hands with the opposition who played good football throughout and the referee who was white as a ghost after what he went through. Poor wee c**t. The celts went into the dressing room with the majvallen incident well and truly out of sight and mind. Players exchanged jibes and jokes with each other delightfully and camply whipping each other with wet towels as they recalled funny incidents that happened during the game and the whole atmosphere was upbeat. Not for Thommo though.

Next week the Götehoops play Menisken in Heden but will make sure they are not confident going into the game. In the f***ed up world of GBG Celtic, confidence is a f***in curse.
