Referee appreciation :  7/10 (JIS), 3/10 (Doit)

DoIt are looking fairly thin on the ground on the moment with the BIS teachers practising their modelling techniques for the BWA fashion show, Mike Smith and Duncan Barneveld pulling I'm working excuses and big Tim suffering from a Liverpool CL hangover. Consequently, we had only a lucky 13 available for the game. The defensive stalwarts included, "clean sheet" Grice, Ronaldinho "no longer ETC" Anderson, the pacy central defence of Bignose and Bigears, and slotting in at left back up the toon Teasdale. The midfield maestros included newcomer Omer starting in right midfield, Lewis son of Bigears, and the reason why the central defensive pairing had to be pacy, a central midfield including a crocked late Model Deegan and a stationary Pikey, who lost a stud at the beginning of the second half and found it at the end of the game underneath his other boot. Upfront we had the unlikely pairing of pretty boys "doesn't like happy endings" Bling and man about Blok M Rudy. Recent JIFL regulations meant that we had to start Erwin on the bench with Captain John, who will be man marking Ex Do It legend Tregilgas against Bugils on Saturday in potentially the most experienced ( read combined oldest ) man to man marking match up in JIFL history.

JIS manager Uwe looked at the supposed paucity of DoIt's squad and decided to leave Jurrien and Thomas on the bench. Even Mark Grey turned up, thought it would be a walkover and duly left.

Thankfully the rain had softened up the pitch and meant it was slick enough to encourage a quick passing game, which duly eluded both teams.

The dementia, the fact that it as two days ago and this is Friday lunchtime, coupled with the fact that I was playing centre half, explain why I cannot remember much about the goals, apart from who scored them. Three out of the four were from great interplay between Rudy and Bling, the fourth from a tap in following a spill by Andreas. DoIt started brightly playing out from the back, with the full backs pinging balls into Rudy and Bling, who would lay off and hope to get return passes from either Pikey or Model D. This tactic worked well until our central midfield partnership ran out of steam. Consequently, three minutes into the first half we had to change tactics and utilise our wide men Lewis and Omer to much greater effect. The first goal was a bit of a scramble as a corner was cleared by the JIS defence, Lewis controlled on the edge of the box, fired a shot in, which Rudy somehow managed to get hold of, control and lay of to Bling who easily slotted past a stationary Andreas.

JIS 0 - DoIt 1 Uwe begins to panic and brings on his big gun, Jurrien. As a consequence DoIt begin to panic, and for a ten minute period we were on the back foot until Model D realised that Ten Pints of Guinness Pikey couldn't roll fast enough to mark Jurrien, so he did instead. During this period JIS found the net only for it to be disallowed correctly for offside. The rest of the half was fairly even, though DoIt posed the greater threat.

Half time 1-0 to DoIt. Half time team talk non existent from Bling. However he did make a strange tactical decision in substituting Omer and putting Eric in right midfield, and in the process bringing on Captain John at right back. Having witnessed and covered for ENLAC's display in the first half it should have just been a straight swap at right back but that would have meant missing a Ronaldinhoesque moment late in the second half.

To cut an overly long report short, DoIt expected an onslaught in the second half, but it never materialised as we dropped to a 4-1-3-2 formation sitting Model D in front of the defence. In the end it was Rudy's pace versus JIS's lack of pace in defence that meant a comfortable 3 breakaway goals in the second half, yielding all 3 points for DoIt in the battle for the JIFL third place.

Full time JIS 0 - DoIt 4 As ever the game between these two teams the game was played in a genial atmosphere. Do It player ratings :

* Gricey. Back to back clean sheets with an injury, what more can you ask?. Kicking a bit poor, especially when taken by Bignose.

* ENLAC Anderson : Shocking first half at right back, got worse in the second at right midfield. Didn't realise he was on the pitch until his Ronaldinhoesque drawback on the touchline against Jurrien. Not seen skill like it from Eric for 10 years.

* Captain John. What a relief in the second half to have him on the pitch, thus saving Bigears and Bignose's collective energy in not having to cover for ENLAC.

* Bigears Whyte. Not much to do apart from take goalkicks and play enterprising 1-2's on the edge of DoIt's box to keep himself amused. Did not get out of his own half.

* Bignose Sheard. Ditto Bigears.

* Up the toon Teasdale. Class act, combined well with Lewis and didn't put a foot wrong.

* Omer Monir. Great signing, good with both feet and only second game in 4 years. Great things expected of him.

* Model D. Catwalk injury didn't seem to effect him too much.

* Pikey O'Neill. After 2 weeks of 10 pints of Guinness a day controlled the centre circle like a rock. Lack of mobility and girth meant DoIt's tactic of passing to him from goalkicks worked a treat as opposition had to travel via adjacent postcodes to get around him. Had to leave early to change religion, last seen sporting orange and singing the Sash in SatuLagi.

* Lewis. DoIt's official youth policy had a quiet game by his standards and had to be substituted with a bit of cramp. Unfortunately as DoIt records only go back 14 years we will never know if Bigears was ever as good as Lewis in his youth.

* Bling Withe. Curious decision to award Bling MOTM unless it was for blatant diving. The IOC did give him a perfect 10 in post match analysis and ref should have shown him yellow.

* Rudy. Best game from Rudy this season, unselfish, fast, direct, goals. Could be late contender for Top Scorer this season.

* Puppy's in White in SatuLagi. 9 out of 10.

* Puppy's in Black in SatuLagi. 10 out of 10.

* Backlash from wife on late arrival home. 0 out of 10.

* Thursday morning hangover. -10 out of 10.
