Almaty Athletic look to put recent controversies behind them and continue the good form which has seen them romp to the top of the table. This week's opponents are Gliebenhagg FC, whoever the fock they are. Gliebenhagg's form is mixed with two wins and three defeats, although one of those victories was against Citco so that doesn't really count.
With Jim "Lamps" Butler turning in a decent* performance in Sunday's training session, the only question mark is over the mixed form of Alex "Barry Ferguson" O'Donovan who is continuing to show worrying signs of a decline. O'Donovan has pledged to cut back on the booze with a view to regaining some of his former sharpness.
Gaffer was going to stay back after the Sunday session to work on his shooting but he was aftaid of getting in trouble with the wife if he was late.
* 'decent', relative to displays of recent weeks
Morgan "Mystery Man" Foley is due to return after a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injuries/holidays/some bird, which is just as well as Almaty will be missing Tadhg "Gentle Giant" O'Connell for the next two weeks as he will be taking part in illegal bare-knuckle boxing matches in Abbeyfeale.
After last week's no-show from Pints, Almaty are fired up for the match and will surely come out with all guns blazing... before conceding a silly goal when a certain midfielder loses the ball in front of the goal, then replying with a cool finish from "Crouchy", then easing ahead with goals from James "JamesG" Galvin and possibly "Lamps" or "SP", then losing momentum as we wait for "Gaffer" to retrieve the ball from the car-park after an "attempt" on goal, then pulling away again with another few goals for "Crouchy", then taking the foot of the gas and leaving the opposition in for the traditional second consolation...
