This match earned us 1 point to add to our 6 points in the current standings. This is a game we will all look back on and never be satisfied as we were undoubetdly, the better team.

Our starting keeper Ash Noureldin was put on the bench due to nausia and a severe headache. We are all eagerly awaiting his pregnancy test results. As a result, the o so reliable Bryan Leusink was not there for backup so we resorted to the infamous Daryl Massier to be the shot
stopper of the day.

The first half went relatively well for the green and white. We kept and maintained ball possession throughout the half, yet we once again lacked the finish that we had established so well in our previous 2 wins. Daryl was hardly tested during the first half and comments
from him like:"Ash get your white @*% out here i'm &#@!%'n bored out here" were not uncommon.The defense played well and were strong at the back allowing little penetration of the ball from the opposing Rhino's.

Fianna's offense was always hard at work setting up plays, however once again finish seemed to be our biggest obstacle. Jeff Brown finally broke the deadlock with authority by slamming home a beautiful shot within the 18 yard box on goal passed the Rhino keeper low and to the
right. The chances did not stop as it seemed it was just a matter of time as in the previous games that the goals were just going to keep coming one after another.

Filipe Dos Santos had an incredible strike from some distance outside the box via a free kick which sailed low above the ground but the rhinoceros goalkeeper made an incredible block to push it away. The half ended 1-0 in our favor.

As the boys marched back on the field for the second, it was undoubtedly Ander's miscue on the prewhistle "123 Fianna!" chant that confused the bajesus'es out of the guys. heheh
The men were on a mission to finish off the Rhino's. However what evolved was more frustration. More missed chances, and furthermore the Rhino side began to play cheap to say the least. Hard tackling in the air and on the ground slowed down the team, and  frustrated us as well, and what frustrated Fianna even more was that nothing was getting called. Furthermore to add to this, the fact that there were ONCE AGAIN
no linesmen resulted in onsides being called offside and vice versa. Eventually another uncalled offside resulted in a Rhino player walking in all alone on net and tapped in an equalizer while Fianna could only watch in disbelief and disgust.

With little time remaining Fianna tried to scrap up set plays, but Rhino sensed the disappointment
and desperation and kept stalling the game with aggressive and frustrating tactics. Dan suffered a minor injury to his left shin as he was tackled from behind right above the shin pad,  he subbed off but later returned to finish the game.

All in all, a disappointing outcome. On two fronts, a) that our offence could not produce more, and b)
that officiating was to say the least, sub-par. Undoubtedly it was Fianna's offense that decided how many goals were
scored, however it was definitely the officiating that decided the outcome of this in being a draw.

quotes of the match:

Ash (to other team) Hey!!! how do you know my language!!! 

Coach Lucas : "Rhino... that's an African animal." -- George Lucas points out an amazing realization about a team made up entirely of African players.

 Fabio Fiorito: *&^@#(@*&#)(@!*#(*@^$*@&^#(*@&()*!^@*&^!*@&^ Why are we afraid to jump in this place?? *&^@#&^*@#^@*&^#@*#^@#&^@#* !)(!@*!!!!!! We see the ball and the air and saylook at the ball up there... we dont jump to it... We need to jump... &*!@^*&!^@*!&@^!*&!

Ash later: "Ohhhhh i get it... they speak jungle version of my language"

Moment of the match: Filipes "wide open net point blank shot" that missed the goal completely and ended up
slamming into AC flight 1153 arriving from Toronto as it was circling the south end of the city getting ready for its
final approach. ( after another approach, AC 1153 did eventually land safely at Regina International Airport)

Man of the match : Jeff Brown... for keepin the ball on the freekin ground when shooting the only shot that went in.

Honorable Mention: Rick Peeteetuce... for not taking it the wrong way when the Rhino player told him to sub
back on the field because he wanted "to play with him"... I would have totally ran for my life right then and there...
Dude he was smiling at you n stuff... We'll gettem next time boys...
