Dynamos quietly reach last 4 as sedate Utd send out wrong message


DSPAFC 16
Colors of Benetton Utd 6
Att: 9,367
Champions League quarter final 2nd leg

Whether it was fatigue at the prospect of yet another match between the Dynamos and their arch rivals, albeit this time in the Champions League, or lack of enthusiasm for the new ground, the atmosphere at Pond Cottages this evening was muted. At times the players could have been forgiven for thinking they were playing behind closed doors such was the silence that hung over the stadium. At the pavilion only the empty bar stools usually graced by the posteriors of players and pundits were able to muster a reply to this forgettable fixture. Oh hang on, there’s Jan Molby at the mic: “Forgettable to some but what about the Dynamos playing Utd off the park, outclassing them in every area of the field. Take the likes of Campellese, Turnbulletin, Roperaroo, the injured Gilesinho. Consider Coweyscatsi who, apart from an unfortunate misunderstanding which led to his own-goal, grew into his new role tonight, accepting the responsibility, and stepping into the fray, striding about the park like a colossus. And what of the goals? A feast for the connoisseur of showboating. Campellese? Campel-easy more like. Roperaroo? Leave it out will you, the lad reassembled the flanks exclusively to his own specifications and left Utd searching for the instruction manual. Turnbulletin? A legend isn’t it, a goal-machine. Gilesinho: a Lazarus who showed the Utd back 4 that they should rue the day they didn’t renew his loan. And now it’s back to Gaby in the studio. Hello...Gaby...is anyone there....this is me Jan at the pavilion...anyo...”.
