Gutted.. That is all.
This mistimed tackle in the fifth minute of the Carling Cup was surely the defining moment of the match.
We shall never know if Villa would have gone on and won the game but the game may well have been decided on what happened in the first five minutes of the match. Does not matter if its the first minute or the last on any other day Dowd would have shown the culprit a straight red, but l am afraid the referee bottled it. Not only did Dowd forget to issue a certain red card he forget to even issue a yellow one which makes some of his decisions later in the game all the more puzzling.
It could well have been a different story and led to a happier ending(for me at least) going 1-0 up and Manchester Untied down to ten men with the added bonus of their talisman not even on the pitch, but this is the real world and so often you will find the lord gives and the lord takes away, which just happened to my hopes and dreams yesterday.
In truth, we never deserved to win, once again the young guns of Villa never stepped up to the plate, that bis apart from Milner who showed what a very good player he is becoming. The likes of Young and Downing offered brief glimpses but they were very brief. If as so many Villa fans talk of them being England squad players this was the game to put their names forward and show themselves to the world. For me neither done that.
The Normally reliable Dunne and Collins both suffered lapses of concentration that resulted in Villa being punished. They both managed to somewhat redeem themselves with blocks and tackles but by then the damage had been done with the Owen equaliser
Once the best player in English football had had his say is was all over, brief and sporadic attacks on Kuszcaks goal, which all amounted to not very much and one of the biggest days in the last fourteen years was all but over.
A day that had promised so much had left me feeling empty, O'Neil can say that we played well for so long but in truth that once again hides the fact we never deserved the glory. The best team won on the day.
My last memory of the final will be Phil Dowd walking up the steps to collect his winners medal.
Dreams can come true, but you need to do more to show for it..
Maybe just maybe the FA Cup??
That is all.

A whole new World..
Has it really been over a week since l last posted
Well all is going well, my game is now around a C- level yes my game is getting worse. l find the longer l play the worse l get and consistently manage to get worse as the night gets longer. This has now meant l now play in short bursts of around an hour or two at a time then leave and play later instead of having a four plus hour stint. When l first join l am on the top of my game making the right calls playing the odds and making cashes but as the game goes on l find myself chasing and calling with poo and generally doing what l see other players do but without the results that they would seem to have
One thing l have noticed while playing the $2 level it seems a whole new world down there where most people would not dream of playing that is no disrespect to the people that do as there are many who do and l would say it is the most commonly used levels that is played on ladbrokes on the STT or the the eighteen or twenty seat tables.
Playing at this level reminds me of the film Lord of the Rings and the $2 levels are the hobbits who inhabit the lands of middle Earth a whole nation of people who consider themselves a separate race, occasionally one or two will venture out and try to join the mean streets and play the higher stakes but generally as a rule they stick to what they know.
There are many good players that play at that level but there is no denying that there are more and more who are very bad, you have to start somewhere and maybe this is where the new player makes that choice. People go on about the higher you play the better the player, is that true? I have seen the same calls being made in the higher staked games on many sites to know that that claim is a load of rubbish.
A few things that l don't really understand though is when you play at a table and the blinds are 20-40 one player will limp and this causes six seven other players to limp and then the big blind will raise it to 40. I have never seen one player fold for 20 more yet and have l have never ever understood the purpose of the raise? If someone knows the answer to it can they please tell me.
Another thing is l can remember when you posted nice hand and got a response, now the game is virtually played in silence with no chat at all. I take it there are a lot of foreign players playing now but surely most would understand that what nh means and reply with a ty. Maybe it's like l mentioned in a previous post about poker and life going hand in hand that people generally in the world today being brought up without manners.
I am still undecided as to what to do next as the higher stake buy-ins the higher you go the volume of players gets less and less. I might turn to cash and play different games and hopefully move up through the stakes that way. I am open to ideas. and if another one has any feel free to post.
This week with it being Half Term. l shall not really be playing till later in the week but l hope to get the balance up to £400 and then move on..
At the moment the balance is £331.58
