TACKLING

Now, since all the Viscounts do is tackle because we are shit at going forward, the blogger stumbled across some action shots from our recent game against Ensians. The perfect tackle is to get low and hit your target in the hips and drive him back on his arse. A bonus is to hit him hard enough to knock the ball from his graft.

A perfect example here is Nico

Although little Nico is tryin to mould himself into a nutty flanker, he is about 3 stone wet. Obvious solution to your lack of weight is to eat your pastry from your pies and pasties you weak prick! So you would think that the big lads in the team will be all out massive bonecrunchers. Wrong. Knibs at a rough guess will be 6 foot 2 and 17 stone but check out this tackling technique.

Knibs, stop pulling his hair and bend your back you faggot!!!

VS ENSIANS 3RDS 29/09/07

Manager Mick Peel had stressed all week in the press that he didnt want this game to be seen as a grudge match after the previous weeks draw. However, 20 strapping Viscounts assembled at CG looking for the victory to kick start the season with a victory over the only team that wants to play us.


Skipp got his troops sorted and the game kicked off, and the usual wrestle in the middle of the park started. A penalty was given away in the 22, but the Ensians kicker Twisty missed it. Viscounts were actually playing quite well and took a deserved lead when Andy carved through to score, and Skip knocked the kick over. The arm wrestle continued when El Dux got bored and decided he would like to become a human puchbag, and the general target of their meathead. Ensians came back and scored a converted try.



HALF TIME VISCOUNTS 7-7 ENSIANS



Peel studied his notes and decided on a couple of tactical changes. He controversially replaced the Skip. Dux took the reigns and the instructions were sent on to the field that we should take the points we could. The kick off was turned over, Beefy dropped into the pocket and fired over a cheeky 3 pointer! However, it all got to his head and he flunked two penalty kicks after that. The pressure was unforgiving from the Viscounts, and nutty flanker little nico, who was tryin his best to break his back, nearly scored after some fine 7's style passing from the backs. Disaster was never far away with the Viscounts playing this fast, attractive high risk rugby that kept the full house glued to action, and Ensians turned over ball on halfway and scored a converted try to lead by a point with 10 to go. Try as they might, Viscounts couldnt make another break through and ended up defeated. So a good effort by the Viscounts against a decently stong Ensians team, Peel still waits for that elusive first win bonus.

Viscounts travelled down the road to face the old enemy for the first game of the new season. Changes off the pitch were done, and spirits were high for a change on it. Dont be so stupid!

Viscounts couldnt manage 2 fatties so scrums were uncontested.

The game started in superb fashion for the Viscounts, Beefy's kick-off didnt go 10 meters. Ensians started strongly and the Viscounts defence got its first workout of the new season. They coped well, repelling the 1 attack Ensians could manage due to the high level of dropped ball. Viscounts were no better, Manager Peel but this down to rustiness. The players knew differently, they are shit at catching.

Ensians took the lead just before half-time, their number 8 running through to score, try converted

HALF TIME VISCOUNTS 0-7 ENSIANS

Second half went similar to the first, but this time Viscounts scored the only try of the half. But, oh my, what a try. After some champagne pick and drives from 3 yards, the ball was seized upon by the industrious Booth who threw 3 dummies, 2 side-steps, kick and chase, and two hand-offs before ploughing over from 2 inch. The full house in the visting stand went ballistic as their own 'prop idol' emerged from the pile of bodies with the ball in hand. Skip knocked the kick over to end the game in a draw. Its a slippery slope from here

NEW MAN IN PLACE

The board have acted swiftly to the departure of Mr. Somers, announcing his replacement as no other than ex-Viscount international, MICK PEEL. Micky comes with glowing references, the board bought into his vision of 'heads-up rugby' and such offered him a 2-year deal. However, the minimum requirement is Inter-toto rugby.

Peel's first task was choosing his on field leader. There were two outstanding candidates for the coverted role, the evergreen JAMIE CHAPPELL, and JOCK. Both candidates rallied round for vital votes in their X-Factor style tour bus. CHAPPELL won at a cantor and became Viscount skipper for a record equalling 34th season.

ALL CHANGE AT THE TOP!

Its with great sadness that the 1st post in the new blog is the annoncement of a change in management within the Viscount ranks. DAVID SOMERS has left his post as director of rugby. The board of directors felt that David has taken the team as far as he can, and although he didnt 'lose the dressing room', flet that David was unable to deliver the european rugby that the board craves. We wish David all the best with his future coaching career.
