It's always tough to lose but it's doubly tough to lose to opponents that you respect and on occasion play with and folks that you call friends cause ultimately you want their respect and admiration and even though someone left our team because you know we weren't good enough, well in the end we would of course beat you and you would so regret leaving our team.
Wow where did THAT come from? Anyways - it was a great match and yes hard to lose again to Kelsey's crew. But you know after a long hot shower and some time to reflect - did anyone notice that they were long gone meanwhile the Thistles stayed and talked about Europe and new shoes and our children and well quaffed a beer or two and thoroughly enjoyed the evening - it's like our little club up there at LC isn't it. FC Thistles club house - definitely worth the money we pay.
It was thrilling to have Andrea and Mary back - and I mean this in the most wholesome of ways but Mary and A - you complete us... (ahem.... think movies). And we definitely missed our out of action Thistles - can't wait to have everyone back.
Tina was again amazing - and her goal was another beauty - it's too late in the evening for me to know how many games in a row Tina has scored - let me just say Tina you amaze me every time you take the field. I consider myself lucky to play with an athlete of your caliber. (This post is not an attempt to appease Lucy - really it's not - I mean she can't read yet right?).
But everyone played great - there was some stuff there in the first half that just blows my mind - some of our best soccer of the year no doubt. Passing and connections on the field that most teams only dream about.
Claudine - you have been a great addition - not only with your skill which has been tremendous - but we love your spirit and energy and of course the fact that you brought beers to your second game! But you had some great moves tonight and I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful Thistle friendship.
Laurie - you played great - adjusting and marking and clearing as you needed to - it was not an easy game to be a sweeper and I really appreciate knowing you've got our backs so to speak.
It's late and I should post this... thanks all for another terrific evening of soccer!.... and friendship!... and fun!
