Just for fun...!

Second half of mine is definitely ‘underway’, perhaps nearer full time than I realise :lolol:

I’d say it’s probably 2-2 at the mo, having gone two up early in the first half only to have experienced 2 sucker punches either side of half time. Now slightly concerned could even concede a third as pressure mounts, the oppositions brilliant new latino striker ‘Covid Kickabout’, is playing havoc with my defence and a bit like the Albion couple seasons ago, I’m not creating enough upfront!

How’s your ‘match’ going?! Hope no ones getting a real drubbing at home :)

Good analogy.

Very little doubt that failure to look after myself in the first half will make the second half a lot tougher. Someone will have to chuck me an energy gel between 60 and 70 and I may get pulled off early (in an entirely different way to the teens minutes).

Score wise I'm about 4-4 and have missed nearly as many as our strikers.

I'm currently being smashed all over the park. 3 sent off, 15 own goals and just had a massive kick I the nuts for good measure.

Just praying for the final whistle to get it done with.

I'm more of a Swan Vesta. Flared brightly for a while, burnt steadily through the middle but beginning to flicker a bit every now and then.

Brighton. NOT KEMPTOWN!
I went 0-2 down in the first half. Came out all guns blazing and now 4-2 up. Just fifteen minutes to go and hopefully, loads of additional time.

9-1 down with 10 mins left, hoping the ref takes pity and blows early.

I was born with 10-0 lead.

So while I've conceded one or two soft ones, scored an own goal and missed a couple of easy chances, I'm still miles ahead.

Steady but unspectacular first half, great start to the second and then taken off after an hour to make sure I’m fit for the next thing.

Sussex but not by the sea
I’d say I was 2-0 down after 25 minutes due to my own lack of focus and not following the pre-match game plan, both own goals.
I turned it around and pulled one back on about 30 mins, I then made a sub which completely started to dictate the midfield and produced forward momentum, just before half time I equalised and after an eye opening half time team talk I’d say I’m 3-2 up and now controlling the match, I’m always mindful that the officials might make a terrible decision or change the rules mid-match but other than that I’m more confident of the 3 points than ever before.

I massively underestimated the opposition and keep making the same basic errors. Hoping I might nick something on the break to earn a point.

Shame there’s no chance of a replay as I reckon I’d stroll that.

I was 0-3 down in the first few minutes due to a lousy childhood, but battled back to 2-3 during my teens. Equalised with two gorgeous children 3-3, went down to a sucker punch in my 40s. but equalised marrying my present other half. 4-4.

I'm now in added on time and hanging on.

I'm a pub team playing against a premier league side in the cup. It's 0-0 in an uneventful match and hopefully I'll get to hold on for a replay and have a go on a good pitch

Just passing the ball around in my own half currently with the odd move into the opposition half.
The entire team are down to take a series of drugs at the next break to improve our defence and get us out of own half.
A bit worried about the Brazilian and South Africian who have just joined the game. They look like they will cause problems to our defence.

My teammate has started talking about kids so I guess I'm 1 nil down, VAR will decide weather its an own goal or not..
