Shock, Horror - is it safe to open my eyes yet?
League: Buffs FC crash to a 3-0 defeat at home in the league to drift further off the pace.
After 45 mins of nothingness the second half seemed to be sliding into stalemate too. Buffs Mad could not contemplate a home draw so looked to change things around with Centre Back McNeill to come off and striker Law to come on in a change to 3-5-2. But play continued before any change could be made and the visitors took the lead from a corner in 68 mins. Finally the ref allowed Law on, just in time for the opposition to make it 2-0 with a speculative shot, from what seemed like the next town, finding the net. 15 mins to pull back a 2 goal deficit? Well, that soon became 11 mins to pull back a 3 goal deficit with 10 men, when Mackay, faced with a breakaway, lunged into the tackle. He got the ball, then the player, and half the turf and almost the referee too. The last 10 minutes passed in slow motion, every mistake, every missed pass, every goal attempt that slipped away was another dagger to the heart of the Buffs.
5 pts off the leaders now who remain undefeated. But for the Buffs there is something more important than the title to claim....there's their dignity!
