It has been a Sign o’ the Times that this winter season is a different beast to the summer stroll we all enjoyed. It was lovely to welcome some of The Beautiful Ones back to the Revolution - always a pleasure and never a choir seeing Angus Hay-Chapman, Jack Kos, and Jamie Bunting.

Playing at our favoured ground of Te Whaea, the Frothers were ready to bring some Purple Rain to an old enemy. We went straight for the dance floor off an early corner when Evan delivered to the most surprised person on the pitch Alain. With the ball missing about three people, a nice Kiss off his boot from a meter out ended in glory. Showing the loyalty of Ryan Giggs towards his former brother(s), Alain was off celebrating like it was 1999.

Things were looking on the up but Blazers had other plans. A couple of their strikers and wingers hopped in a Little Red Corvette and reminded the Frothers that When Doves Cry, it pours, conceding 3 goals in probably as many minutes.

HALFTIME

The second half started with a flier, Lance chasing down a Raspberry Beret and cutting a delightful ball back to a man who couldn’t stop scoring if he tried, Tyler. The new guy truly giving us the feeling that Nothin’ compares to you.

After a bit of commotion, there was no Controversy, and one of their defenders was sent. After a few close calls at either end, the Frothers were left clutching their Diamonds and Pearls and coming up short. Football can be cruel but each player was coming away thinking I Would Die 4 U.

Bring on next weekend and Let’s Go Crazy!

Man of the Match

The real MVP - the kit man, Chrissy Chester.

Dick of the Day

Jack H - for volunteering but more accurately we should be giving it to the opposition player formerly known as Joey Barton/Jack Grealish for axing the nicest guy on the pitch.
