Out Of Excuses
The verdict by discerning Grilled supporters after the loss did not make for pleasant listening, as they to a man wrote off the Birds' chances for the title. "Nothing has changed." Simon Mak, a taxi driver, insisted. "They'll score a few, but leak more. I just can't see them beating the top sides in this division, at this rate."
Stanca put on his best face as he claimed that the Birds were unlucky not to salvage a draw, but his assertions rang hollow in the face of how Rashid and Madaini were embarassed. His options are running low, though, and it is hard to see how he can fix the department in the short term.
Despite United's impressing, and pre-season favourites The Void Deck outclassing Yew Tea 4-1, the surprise leaders after the first round were Young Tigers. UNITED SKANKS did little wrong, but Tigers rode their home advantage to blast them away 6-3.
Finally, Robbie Football Club also kicked off with a win, as they brushed a relatively ordinary-looking Dream Seals aside with their extraordinary defence. Víctor Moliner and Aleandro Savagnone's goals in either half were enough to get them the three points.
