League: Buffs FC travel away to Indonesia and secure a fine 4-0 win.
Tommy Gemmell improves on his recent 5 & 6 performances when he receives a short pass to drive home from the left and open the scoring. With Buffs Mad's words about recent midfield collapses ringing in their ears the midfield of Billy Bremner and Graeme Souness try to impose themselves. Bremner is cautioned in 16 minutes as he lets the opposition know they are in a game. The opposition returns the compliment in 21 mins and also collect a yellow, but, after some delay, the ref points to the spot. Was it inside? - the £50k in the refs back pocket thinks so! Goal! Did Bremner just wink at the opposing player as he turns away from slotting home the penalty? With the home side's midfield clearly riled Souness gives another one a dig and joins Bremner on the naughty list just with 5 mins left in the half. The final action in the half sees the opposition pick up another card as Souness is upended and again they make the mistake of giving fouls away in dangerous positions. Mackay, deadball expert, makes them pay from the free-kick.
So Buffs go in 3 to the good with the smiling and joking Bremner and Souness jostled as they go off.
The second half starts with the home side flooding the midfield. But Buffs are bypassing that with some fine attacks on the flanks - particularly from Baxter on the left. An array of chances fall to Mols but, although he's working hard and finding good positions, the home defence continues to thwart his efforts. On the 65th min again he takes a neat angled pass, this time from McNeill, and sees the gap. McNeill continues his run too and as the out-rushing keeper bears down on Mols he flicks it to the side and McNeill crashes it home. Smart-thinking from Mols and his gleaming smile light lights up the stadium. If he was chocolate he'd eat himself - if he didn't I think half this stadium would.
The final 20 minutes played out in much the same way with Buffs sucking in the midfield pressure and releasing down the wings. Crosses swing in, corners are forced but there are no more goals.
Buffs Mad smiles contentedly as the players leave the pitch then bellows "Now shake it off and get ready to go again!"
