Just maybe

How to put this, fanfuckingtastic? Yeah that about describes how i felt on saturday morning. After 5 years of trying Firparkcorner FC(Motherwell) finally got a result against Real Maroon(Hearts)! Not just a fluky 1-0 either but a comprehensive 3-0 cuffing was dished out. Not before time either and it has revived our chances of winning the Scottish IFA league title. Unfortunately it isn't quite in our own hands but if we win our last remaining fixture Hearts have to win their last 3 to overhaul us. Perfectly plausible they will so i won't get excited and a couple of other teams who have many more games in hand could yet enter the fray if they cram in their own remainign fixtures.

I should explain. The principle of IFA football is that teams of fans organise to play each other on the mornings that their respective professional teams play each other. Doesn't always work like that, but thats the general idea. You can play a maximum of 20 fixtures to count towards the league playing no other team more than twice. You can of course play them more than twice but only two results can count towards the league and you obviously decide beforehand which fixtures you are nominating. We will fulfill our fixtures the saturday after this. Other teams have i'm led to believe until the 15th of July so the teams that have only played 11 or 12 games as of now can in theory still catch up. The table here shows current standings, the Partick Thistle team(Sparta Jag) have form for late fixture cramming if they think they can win the title. They also happen to play in another league the Scottish Supporters League which is a bit more formal but of no real noticeable higher quality for all that, well not from the 2nd division teams anyway of which we've played a few. This personaly irks me a bit as decent enough lads that they are one league you would think is enough, indeed another bunch of Partick lads formed a team but couldn't get into the IFA because of Sparta being the IFA representative. It was a while back and Sparta at the time wern't playing many IFA games and wanting to play on sundays etc rather than at more suitable match day times. I think they have since given it up, they wern't very good although looked to be getting there and would have been a decent IFA outfit but suffered from not getting games as for the larger part of the season people want to play IFA teams to count towards the league.

Anyway getting sidetracked, we have gotten back in the title race and it would brilliant if we topped our 5th and best season with the Scottish title, the party would be immense i do believe, although when anyone knows who is going to win is debateable possibly not until mid July. Oh yeah and last saturdays game, 3-0 going on 5,6,7 you name it the number of chances we missed once we went 1-0 up. They missed a penalty soon after we had taken the lead as well, a big moment as the heads would almost certainly went down if they had levelled.
