Tim Preston
aka Ferret, Anal Bead
Tried slightly harder than anyone else.
 
 
  7 John Dunn
aka School-Night, SubWell
Scored a shocker of an own goal. In his defence, he had tracked back in order to score it. However, there are no excuses for such amateurish bumbling - especially not in a finely tuned footballing machine like The Dumpsters.

  An absolutely shocking day for the Dumpsters as the team hit an all-time low. Buoyed by last weeks massive victory and the clubs current top of the table status, the players turned out in force, with only last season's top scorer Felix 'Pussy' Baker missing. He was otherwise engaged, out for dinner with two of Hollywood's brightest stars - Brenda Fricker and Eddie Bracken, who played 'Central Park Pigeon Woman' and 'Owner of Duncan's Toy Chest' in blockbuster movie Home Alone 2: Lost In New York.

However, despite the impressive turnout, it was to be a truly shameful occasion for The Dumpsters.

First Half
The Dumpsters decided to employ an unusual tactic of playing their most prolific strikers in defence, with all-time top scorer Alex 'Spal' Sutton and third place man from the same list, Dan 'The Length' Clifton, installed as the defensive partnership. Tim 'I love Anal-Beads' Preston was put in midfield, with 0.2 goal per game man Richard 'Fraggle' Cragg up front. Needless to say, these bizarre tactics did not pay off.

Things started in fairly subdued fashion, the game being played at a snails pace, and for the first ten minutes or so there was very little action at either end other than the occasional long shot from Kyriazis, which failed to trouble Martin 'Allergies' Dibble in the Dumpsters goal. However, little was being created by The Dumpsters, and this was to prove their downfall. The only opportunities of note being some wayward shooting from The Length, and couple of mazy dribbles from substitute Alistair 'UTT' Taylor.

Ten minutes into the game and the eadlock was broken, a precise shot from distance just making it past the fingers tips of the flailing Allergies. Dumpsters heads immediately dropped, and as the half wore on the work rate plummeted. Eventually the team collapsed to a 4-0 deficit at half time, one of goals courtesy of a calamitous error from John 'School-Night-Sub-Well' Dunn.

Second Half
Sacked manager Allergies demanded a reshuffle at half time, bringing himself out of goal to be replaced by Fraggle. However the fairly mediocre words of motivation from the manager had very little impact and little changed after the break. It was one way traffic, with shots raining in on the helpless Fraggle, and goals flying in left right and centre.

Every Dumpsters attack left players stranded in midfield, and the levels of tracking back hit an all time low. It was little better when the team was in possession, a crippling lack of movement meant the Dumpsters were never likely to get back into the game, the only consolation being an own goal from Kyriazis.

Sacked Managers Review
"I hate turning up and losing every week, it just isn't fun. Have I got to play squash tomorrow? Bollocks."
  
To The Pub
Sacked Manager Martin 'Allergies' Dibble refused to allow a trip to Dixies, and the team was driven home in disgrace, with Allergies barely able to contain his rage and Fraggle deeply troubled by the manager's mental state
