An uncomfortable truth + Khaled does it again (and this time we can see it!)
Slowly yet inexorably an uncomfortable truth is unfolding in the Megxit drama which is unsettling the whole country: the one non negotiable condition Harry and Meghan put for the departure from Kensington palace was for FDs to be able to stage their weekly show also (secretely, instead) in Frogmore cottage where the Rebel Royals were soon to settle. Did the Ruling Royals accept such clause to get rid of the new couple in the inner knowledge that they would have never ever given up or even compromise on what makes their weekends, in fact every weekend?
To date the Club confirm no contact from Kensington Palace has ever been made but our FDs Canadian and US branches have been put on red alert should the fight be taken to the extreme with the Rebel Royals demanding satisfaction in their new elected land? 238 years after the tea party are FDs going to kickstart the first ever Royal Revolution fighting for independence from England? Stay tuned as history might knock at your door sooner than you expect.
The escalating drama did nothing today to alter the ferocious concentration the two teams typically deploy in every game. If any the introduction of the GoPro with the VAR function, following the Tripod appeal made everyone seeking perfection in every touch and move in the knowledge that images leave no room for deception.
Such a tech innovation could have not had a better vernissage: early in the game a ball was flying high at the edge of the Unbibbed box: only one man could take that as an invitation to try the impossible as it did before for what had been tipped to be the goal of the season. Khaled this time, with his back to goal, had to go for a high up full overhead kick that the ended in the right top corner leaving no one on the pitch with a chance to interfere. Not they would otherwise dared as no one wanted to be guilty of ruining a masterpiece in the making. Khaled just overtakes himself in the run for the goal of the season with Giancarlo a distant third. Posterity is in fact the true winner here as they it can delight itself in the admiration of the (double) act exceptionally available in the below video.
The event put the wings on the Bibbed team that soon took the score to a 4-1. That was a flattering to deceive result: when you face an opposition with Yasin and Johannes you know you take nothing for granted. In fact the Unbibbed completely and swiftly turned the game upside down adding urgency to their discipline to revert the score to 4-8 with 7 goals in succession by Federico and Jamal with a brace, complemented by Francesco, Andrea and Yasin adding to the early one by Marco.
Khaled was content enough to have consigned himself to posterity with his wonder goal to leave the Man of the Match award up for grab. It was Federico to snatch it with both hands as having performed impeccably in midfield and adding a superb goal to his already remarkable tally for the day: he dribbled his way to goal and sent the the entire defence to the floor with a dammy followed by an exquisite chip over the keeper.
Regrettably it might not have been fully captured by the video as the Go Pro was at the opposite end thus sending the Club the request for doubling the tech expenditure as no money would be better spent with a greater ROE (return on emotions).
