Season 36

CL Semi Final 2nd Leg A ve V FC 1-3 Blackburn Ravers.

A chilling experience to say the least, the game was played in -22 degrees with no under soil heating pretty poor for a L5 team in all honesty.
Crampons where worn by all players, it was agreed before the game that all fouls would be either head butts or elbows to the face.

Ravers broke the deadlock on (35) minutes after some nice slalom work down the right by Chomphin, approaching the area he let off a thundering drive which went in off the bar; showering the Icelandic goal keeper in shattered lumps of ice, medics had to treat the cuts to his head & shoulders.

15 minutes into the second half a A ve V levelled the score with a fine shot from Gutierrez

The home side were being continually warned by the referee for continued tackles with their feet, enough was enough and on (66) minutes Douglas converted from a free kick, after making a miraculous recover from a broken foot in the last away game in Argentina.

Ravers bench were screaming at the ref to allow a substitution but he was having none of it.

Douglas struck again when Kissi set him on the edge of the box to make it 1-3 on 77minutes.

Finally Jones the reserve GK for Ravers was allowed on and Mangan was stretchered off, stiff as board and unable to move.
Ravers have been told the a hole has been cut in the ice at the nearby lake for cooling down. The reply from the players when I entered the dressing room and told them the news was, you can go F**k yourself with a red hot poker. Ouchh!

The final is set. FB friends AS ROMA v BLACKBURN RAVERS.
