Season 57

[Buffs Mad]

League: Buffs had one crazy home game against the leaders tonight. Engine trolled Buffs then Buffs trolled the opponent then the trolls trolled the trolls and everyone had a love-in on the centre spot as Buffs run out 3-2 victors.

So let's get the Admin out of the way. The visitors swaggered onto the pitch in a ND. With the Buffs minus their key midfielder they went for midfield strength and defiantly formed into 4-1-3N-2.

Now.

How can I describe the start of the match.

Buffs have 3 good chances in the first 5 minutes but squander them. "Nevermind, we're doing well, we'll get more" thought Buffs Mad. Up the other end on 5 mins Gemmell tugs a shirt and is booked - FK to the visitors and McGregor saves. Corner and McGergor tips header over the bar. Corner and defence clears. Counterattack by the visitors and a shot is deflected for a corner. Its the 9th min and cross comes in and MC Murdoch pushes in the box > yellow card, penalty kick, visitors score = 1-0 down 16th minute Buffs MC Murdoch fouls on the edge of the box, second yellow and he's off. FK, McGregor saves. So down to 10 men abd Buffs Mad decides to stay in the 4-1-2-2 and prays for the 10 man boost........

*boooooost*

• 32nd min McCoist counterattacks and scores with a solo run through the middle = all square.

*booooooost*

• 37th minute McCoist plays a neat 1-2 on the edge of the box then fires home = 2-1 to the Buffs.

Half time comes and goes with Buffs Mad too stunned to do anything.

*booooooost*

• On 67 minutes McCoist is felled on the left and gets up to take the FK. Gemmell nods it home. 3-1 to the 10 men Buffs.

Buffs Mad at last blinked and whispered to Assistant Coach, Otto Teem "Just who's trolling who here?"

The visitors then switch to 4-1-2N-3 on 73 minutes. Buffs Mad says "Feck it, lets lay our hopes at the feet of the Gods." And the Gods then duly take the legs from the visiting DMC and he's stretchered off. On 85 mins they got a sub on but we've no idea where he played because it was a flurry of activity as the Buffs squeezed the visitors and applied the pressure. Then the visitors counter attack again, and then the Thugs, I mean the Buffs upended the attacker and McNeill went in the book. As everyone looked around the linesman flagged - Penalty! Bloody hell - 3-2 to the Buffs. After the restart......the ref blew. *phew*

Stupid game. Stupid Engine. Stupid win that takes us top. \o/ Stupid Bliss. Stupid Buffs Mad. Stupid Genius.

Goals: McCoist (32, 37), Gemmell (67).
Bookings: Gemmell (5), Murdoch (9 + 16 = OFF), McNeill (89).

The Buffs now have 2 players suspended for tomorrows league match and 6 players on 1 yellow. O.o

After the match Buffs Mad said "I is troll."
