Sexy Football, Frecktanian & An Imps Barnet View From The Stacey West
Grab Your Crunchie its Friday Feeling Time There have been some fabulous high scoring games against Barnet but nothing conjures up Schoey’s School of Sexy Sincil football quite like the memory of Lee Frecklington (should be playing higher than Peterborough United) deciding a game by a single golden goal, yes, even though we had put 5 passed the Bees in October. My, that was a month that spawned its own video – two actually – we kid you not. Yes its Friday so grab your crunchie or what ever floats your boat and lets recall March 2007 - The season of Schoey’s Sexy Sincil Football Imps 1 Barnet 0 A view from the Stacey West. Undeniably League twos top footballing side, the Imps were at the watershed of the season. A win after outplaying the league leaders the week before, would set us on a run to the promotion promised land. On the other hand defeat, to Barnet, conquerors of record breaking Stockport, would signal a tough anticlimax where even the playoffs might pass us by. Pass, now that’s a phrase the faithful fawn over. Yes the Imps, carpet football entrepreneurs and passing Princes, stroked the leather ord around on the repaired Lincoln Green Theatre of dreams as if each and every man in red and white was a Poet Laureate . Fear of failure? Fifty goals conceded? Playoffs perhaps an unsustainable dream after blazing that heavenly trail? Bah Humbug lets see the return of that Christmas spirit although we were now into early March. The nil nil score line was just a matter of time as the Co Op faithful at times lead the show. Second half the Imps played towards the home end with the two stands baying them on. On fifty-one some intricate footwork inside the box saw Frecktanian with the ball at his feet. Shoot Frecko screamed the red and white hordes. Oh contraire said the maestro taking the ball left a stride, leaving another stooge in his wake, then right, a twisting and turning he looked up ready to feed or perhaps finish. Enough, voila, a curling flash of Brazilian brilliance saw the ball bulge the side netting at the far post. Cue Sincil Bank mayhem, as Frecktanian donned his cool shades to take in the rays, mobbed by mercurial musketeers bathing him in praise. Peep, Peep, all aboard you doubters full of consternation for the promotion express is leaving the station. There would be no repeat of the Imps 5 goal away romp this day despite the same seeping carpet football being on display. Yes October was a month that saw 4 wins in 4 games with Barnet 5-0 followed by Rochdale 7-1 when Jamie Forester hit a hat trick two games on the trop as the Entertainers thrilled League 2 fans home and away. City dominated for long periods, impudent youth ensuring their experienced foes chased shadows. Barnet had their chances one a chip from Birchall, put in by Frecks Replacement Mayo, forcing Grand Master Mazza into a full stretch palm over. The exiting Mendez and N’Guessan looked lively, given our desperation for a forward line with Forester and Stallardicus looking on from the sidelines like caged lions. Given a bit more time together a combination of their individual cameos could see a prolific understanding develop. Play either along side Jamie, Stallard or even the flue ridden Weir-Daley and the goals we need will be there. SWD looked good in the last 30 today, replacing a young Dani who had run himself into the ground. He had but two half chances, as did Mendez whose cross goal header flew no more than a fag paper past the front of the right hand Stacey West post. Kerr was immense today again Frecks and Amoo all the better for a decent surface. Hughes confidence is coming back, his day will be Swindon. Brown and Moses would have snuffed out flamethrowers today. Green obviously has lunch with Eaden, as both show composure timing and pocess a footballing sixth sense. MC Mazza commanded his area, distributed with hands and made three very important saves. Our movement was not perfect, but the confidence this win brings will be the WD40 we need to run at full steam through the run in. For those here the faith is restored. The ImpQuest continues.
