Last Comic Standing
At the height of the World Cup fever, RMM and Chinese Valencia (CV) decided to put up a comedy show of epic porportions complete with a hat-trick of own goals and goalkeeping antics that would make Robert Green proud.
The curtains for the comedy show was raised by RMMs defensive lynchpin, SiYeh. Intercepting a hopeful CV punt that was rolling harmlessly towards keeper Shark, SiYeh then proceeded to roll the ball into the path of a surprised CV striker loitering around the area. Needless to say, the grateful striker thanked SiYeh before slotting the ball home.
The comedy then continued when a CV defender then sliced a clearance from a dangerous looking cross from RMMs Kenny G into his own net for RMMs equalizer.
RMM then took the lead in an even more bizarre manner when the CV keeper palmed a RMM cross weakly into his own defender who then deflected the ball into the CV net for yet another own goal.
RMMs 3rd and the game's 1st 'proper' goal came when Iceman's sublime through ball found an onrushing Superstar Batigol who twinkle toed his way past a stranded CV keeper before breaking his goalscoring drought.
The scored remained @ 3-1 to RMM as spectators took a 1/2 time break from the comedy show, anticipating a more colorful Act 2.
The second half started the same way as the first ended, with RMM on the attack. Having been freed from the shackles of his own penalty box, Shark took up the leftback position and made the left side of the field his, marauding up and down to great effect. In his first involvement, the giant veteran released the lightning quick Blindman Poon into the CV box with a deft touch. Unable to live with the Blindman's pace, the CV defenders were forced to take him out by illegal means resulting in a RMM penalty.
Up stepped Titan, who in accordance to RMM by-laws, was the next RMMer in line for penalty duty. The giant defender duly rolled the ball into the net unconvincingly as an uninterested CV keeper looked on to give RMM a 4-1 goal lead.
Having missed the opportunity to score in the first half and stuck in goal for the second, Speedy then decided to add his own brand of entertainment into the game. Much to everyone's horror, The Master Of The Alternate Universe stood rooted as if mesmerized as a weak freekick from CVs Stepover Fatso rolled into the RMM net right next to him.
Not to be outdone by Speedy's stand up comedy act, the CV keeper decided that he too can be just as entertaining by replicating Speedy's act, letting RMMs superstar striker Batigol roll in devastatingly weak attempt from outside the CV box for RMM to extend their lead to 5-2.
The CV defense then decided that OG needed a hat-trick and promptly bundled Iceman's header across goal into their own goal.
Hardman Joe's then celebrated his return with RMMs 7th and final goal for the game. After months of Anger Management rehab, Hardman Joe announced his comeback with a goal from outside the CV box.
With this win in the bag, RMM had not only completed a hat-trick of revenge wins to make up for the disasterous month of May, it had done so in style.

damn ! ...shud have come for the entertainment even injured ...
The last goal by Joe was a tap in from 3 yards in fron of an open goal after I drew the goalkeeper out and squared to him and not a shot from outside the box as reported. No discredit to Joe but just giving the correct version.
As for my second goal, it was not weak at all although the shot was very near to the keeper and he should have save it.
