The Tie of season that never was!!!

Now this may sound confusing but bare in mine its beta. What I'm referring to though is the UFFA Champs cup semi final between Superstar Tradesmen and Jason Robinson's The band. Now these ties much like the real champs league ties are over two legs.

1st leg From the Hob stadium.

Pre-match form had the tradesmen win the only encounter between these 2 sides. The tradesmen were looking for an away goal or two to make it easier for the second leg at home. They got one ealry on looking impressive during the early stages of the tie Daniel sturridge getting on the scoresheet in the 4th min.

In the second half the tradesmen collapsed follwing the sending off of Sergio Ramos. A Sobis hatrick an own goal and Fellah goal in injury time gave the band a healthy looking advatange for the second leg.

The game that never was.

El Diablo Arena Tradesmen needing 4 goals at least to give themselves a chance of getting through this tie. Now I have to get by on memory alone here. But an early goial seemed to loft the spirits a second after 20 minutes and it really was looking game on. The Band now looking for attacking options desperate for an away goal themselves to put the tie to bed then into the second half and 3-0 the tradesmen Jason was looking on in sheer horror and panic. Then suddenly momentum shifted again a silly sending off for the Tradesmen and a tense last 15 minutes to come. But incredibily 4-0 they just needed to hold for the last 10 minutes. When that man Sobis struck again with only a minute or so left. But out of nowhere deep in injury Trademen corner and Sonko far post and 5-1 we are going to extra time.

A tense 1st period of extra both side had chances but neither side could break through in this feast of attcking football. Then fate struck again just at the start of the second period of extra time an injury meant the tradesmen were down to 10 with 10 minutes left of extra time. But we will never know the outcome of this incredible tie as this precise point in the match the servers went down :(

The match was replayed with the band adopting a much more defensive approach and the Tradesmen winning the reply 1-0 but failing miserably to advance and Jason must feel like he had a get out of jail free card.
