Attack of The Gimp!! Verdy 2 - 0 FC Gifu

Somebody had a good time.......

2-0, TWO goals from Takuma Abe, a taxi from TWO stations away from home due to TOO many drinks  a missed connection for the last train home but still TWO thumbs up from The Biggest Gimp in the Stadium!!,. First up the 2-0 win keeps Verdy in contention for the third promotion spot though with JEF also winning we are back where we started before kick off; 6 points behind and waiting for them to slip up. The game itself was relatively entertaining (if you are a Verdy supporter) with a good number of chances falling to the home side. Hiramoto went close, Iio was busy and it seemed just a matter of time until Verdy would open the scoring. The back line were back to their best with Takahashi (after his goal last week) coming in for the unlucky Yoshida. Another clean sheet and Gifu rarely threatening Doi between the sticks. For the second week running it would be Kawakatsu`s substitute who would do the business. After Takahasi and debutant Shuto Minami had provided the goals last week, Takuma Abe came on for Yoshiaki Takagi with 25 minutes remaining and was on hand to score both Verdy goals after concerted Verdy pressure. The first was a strike from distance that the keeper will feel he should have at least pushed round the post, the second a toe poke finish from the six yard box after a scramble from a corner. In the right place at the the right time and willing to have a crack. Nice one Takumi!!So, after weeks and weeks of not being able to score than a single goal, Verdy have 6 in 3 games. Nishigaoka is simply a great place to watch a poorly supported team. With only 3,900 in attendance the noise generated in such a small space generated a great atmosphere. No need for microphones, no running track, right on top of the action. Superb. Beers aplenty, possibly the greasiest sliced chicken ever produced, 2 goals, 3 points, balmy summer weather, seriously what more could a football fan ask for?? Emperors Cup next week again at Nishigaoka and it`s lower league opposition so we are probably knackered........Machida Zelvia currently JFL but promotion hopefuls. Will Verdy succumb as usual or will The Boys send them back to their basket, slapped arse and tearful?? Will The Gimp re-appear this season!!??
