League: In celebration of the Buffs first home win of the Season I offer a pic spam below
The Buffs were getting desperate: today saw the start of 2 matches in a row against the only teams to beat the Buffs in the league and the fact it was at home where the Buffs were yet to win was doubly worrying.
Early in the morning the Troll-Away tanker arrived and Buffs Mad had it pumped directly into the Plunge Pool. Captain Billy McNeill represented the players when he raised concerns about possible dermatological reactions. Buffs Mad pushed him in and announced that anyone not fully submerged would be fined 2 weeks wages.
Afterwards Buffs Park was renamed Abbey Park in a joint ceremony by a Shaman from Kenya, a Voodoo High Priestess from Haiti and Lucky Bob from the White Heather pub down the road.
The Opposition were set out in a 3-4-3 and Buffs Mad dithered before opting for 4-3N-2W-1. The first half was a cagey affair with few chances and while the Buffs had possession, what little threat there was came from the visitors (and their 3 man defence was blocking everything). At HT Buffs Mad gave his team the Hairdryer Treatment and ordered reserve strikers Law and Dalglish to strip for action.
The Buffs emerged from the break in 4-3N-3. The Buffs started quickly and began to dominate. Their shot count was rising rapidly and attacking comments were so frequent that the possession bar was seldom seen. But after 70 minutes there was still no breakthrough. So Buffs Mad went All-in - he shouted at the left and right backs and all the midfielders to motivate them in attack. This time the last 10 minutes went the Buffs way (rather than against which was the recent experience). Central midfielder Gemmill set up right back Richard Gough as he cut inside and played the 1-2 for the first in 84th min and Gemmill also was the supplier from a corner on the 87th which Denis Law nodded home.
Goals: Gough (84), Law (87).
The Buffs remain 6pts behind but move into 4th spot and play 5th away tomorrow.
