Poble Sec 2 - Gramenet 1

Gramenet B in day-glo orange tackle El Sec in blue and white.

It turned out to be the first day of winter, when U E Poble Sec delivered their 6th win in the 13th week of the season - this time against Gramenet. We sat huddled on the crumbling terraces  in the drizzle when the player our president - Pedro Venero  - said we "didn't deserve" scored first a penalty in the dying seconds of the first half, followed by a straight shot on goal in the 73rd. 

Off the pitch drama was provided by a gobby group of lads sneaking into ground from further up Montjüic in order to boo the home team and chuck a football at the ref. There was also very nearly a punch-up for some reason after the final whistle, plus a lot of stick for the female linesman (lineswoman, surely?), who made a few bad decisions due to her lack of a penis, one assumes.

The following is a summary of the match lifted straight from El Punt's website, but the photos are all my own (for a change). The next home match is on Sunday 13th December at 12.00 vs. Igualada - currently 5th. Can we continue our Rumanian-fueled rampage up the table? Join us and find out. Admission is a hefty €10 - but beers go for €1.50 each. 

'Radu'  - the player we don't deserve, apparently.
