Redemption

Angry Gaffer after last week's performance

After last week's heavy defeat Almaty Athletic are aiming to start the second half of the season on a positive note. The players' bruised egos will be bolstered by the fact that they knocked six past tomorrow night's opposition, Fuzzball, in the opening game of the season.

Contrary to last week Gaffer will not have the luxury of a full squad to choose from - some may say that it is a blessing in disguise. James "mazy runs" G has signed up for the Ronaldo summer soccer skills training course in Santorini. Whilst Jeremy "Sugar-bun" Sweetnam has gone "romancing" in Italy. It remains to be seen who will keep sticks in his absence. It has been confirmed that Alex "Can't stop a shot" O'Donovan is definitely ruled out for consideration after his regular abysmal performances in goals at Sun footie.

At the half-way mark, Almaty Athletic lie in second place. They are level on points with Whitfords but their goal differences is three less than the league leaders.

The question is will they be able to stop their "conceding an early goal" curse?
