Clough 3 Bosnia 5.
A deserved win for Bosnia but we were really poor. Bald lad up front and left winger had stormers for Bosnia .Left winger looked and played a bit like Ronaldo and we couldn't get near him all game. Bosnia wanted the game more. A Couple of crazy moments in the game. We had a free kick near half way line, their keeper was tying his laces and the defenders having a chit chat when one of our lad took a "quickie" ,passed it to our striker who banged it into an empty net. Then their keeper caught a long speculative shot and Aidy white "goes all night" gave him a cheeky nudge with his shoulder. Keeper loses the plot and throws ball at Aidys heads and ref gives a penalty to us.
Hope to have Jay back from his hols and Stazi back from injury for next week.
