Season 57

[Buffs Mad]

League: Buffs FC get out of the doldrums versus bottom feeders and blast the league wide open with a 2-1 away at the league leaders.

Four teams are now tied at the top and the Buffs have slipped into 5th 3 points behind.

Opposition set out in a 4-1-2-3 and the Buffs went defensive and counterattacking in a 3-1-4-2.

Buffs Mad had to withstand several nerve jangling moments after striker McCoist had given the Buffs an early lead. Three FKs were defended before the break but the home side pulled level shortly after the restart. Buffs Mad sent the wingers to more advanced positions. As the Buffs counter-attacked again and again, central defender Hutton went on an amazing solo run from deep and finished neatly after 'rounding the keeper.

Just as the Buffs looked comfortable and still threatening, at the back MC Gemmill pole-axed Messi in the box. Messi is as Messi does - he made a complete mess of it and ballooned over.

Now the Buffs have to keep it going when they face the 6th placed side in the next league match. Oh the joys of being a manager. *bum-squeak*

Correction: The Buffs are 6th and play 7th next.
