If you like watching a couple of five year olds playing FIFA then you may just have got some enjoyment from watching this last 16 cup tie. As it was the majority of home fans watched open mouthed at Ruislip’s unbelievably inept first half performance and nodded appreciably at the character shown by them in the second half. Going into this game we knew three things about Kodak: 1. They score goals…lots of them; 2. they concede goals…lots of them; and 3. they have a player who will hurt you given time and space.
Half time score – Ruislip 3 Kodak 5 and the said player had bagged four of them with a tremendous display of finishing. However, in truth, Ruislip had displayed less tactical nous than one of the aforementioned five year olds on his Xbox and had gifted this talented individual the freedom of Middlesex in which to do his work. The second half however was a totally different matter as Ruislip tightened up in the centre of midfield, won every loose ball and discovered exactly why Kodak have an pretty awful goals against record this season as they ran in seven ridiculously easy goals without reply As for Kodak’s star man, I think I saw him touch the ball a couple of times in the second period. Credit to the team for putting things right after the break but they should be embarrassed that they were in that position in the first place.
