FORTUNETELLER
News, views and everything TFFC by Nigel Kyte Welcome to issue 30 of the newsletter The First Team were narrowly beaten in the Last 16 of the Peter Morrison Trophy by MSFL Premier Division BRADY MACCABI at The Hive. Fortune battled hard for the entirity of the cup tie and were a shade unfortunate not to take the match into extra time. They matched their higher-ranked opponents throughout but lacked any real cutting edge upfront. Goalless at half-time, Brady took the lead after 65 minutes with Dan Natoff off the field changing his boots. The ten men failed to deal with a cross from the right which was headed home by the Brady centre-forward. Soon afterwards, Michael Goldberg was so close to equalising when he broke through – his first effort was parried by the goalkeeper and from the rebound, Michael clipped the crossbar from an angle. However, the home side broke away on 75 minutes and another cross was nodded towards Steve Murad by the same Brady forward; somehow the ball crept under the hapless Fortune goalkeeper to make it 2-0. But the Yellows still gave their all and deservedly (for effort alone) pulled one back with eight minutes remaining. Dave Gance was tripped just outside the penalty area and with Brady lining up their defensive wall, the quick-thinking JON FISHER fired the ball into the opposing net for a controversial goal. Referee Thorne awarded the goal much to Brady's anger but Fortune couldn't grab an unlikely equaliser in the tense closing minutes. Still, a great run in the PMT by the First Team this season, winning three ties and going out narrowly. Said manager Lee Fegan: "I'm proud of the boys who matched them and battled well throughout. With a bit more luck we may have got something out of the game but I cannot fault the team. Despite missing five regulars, everyone who came in played their part to a man and we can take great pride in our run in the Morrison." The Old Boys Team followed up last week's excellent win against EDRS by defeating HENDON HARRIERS 3-2 at Gosling Sports Centre. Hendon had previously hammered Fortune by 9-3 earlier in the season and probably expected another easy romp. But full credit to the Old Boys who played very well again to defy the odds and gain ample revenge. JEREMY FESS, JAMES RYAN and ALAN HAROUNOFF scored the goals as Fortune led three times but were pegged back twice. Manager David Goldberg made a fantastic double goal-line save right at the end as Fortune survived late pressure to take the points. Celebrating the first back-to-back wins this season, David commented: "Another excellent performance by the team. Jon Dubiner was outstanding but everyone played well. Finally there is a bit of belief to go with the commitment and it's been reflected by two great victories." The Second Team had the morning off. ONE MATCH BAN FOR FIRST TEAM CAPTAIN PAUL WALKER will serve a one-match suspension on Sunday 12th February due to his sending off against Chigwell last week. The Chigwell player who committed a reckless tackle on Benji Mannheim in the same match has received a three-match ban. DEAN INGRAM TOP SCORES IN QUIZ LAST EIGHT Round Four of this season's inter-Club football quiz was completed earlier last week. Second XI midfielder Dean Ingram scored 44 out of 50 and eliminated last season's Quiz champion Jonathan Cohen. Second top scorer was Jack Morris (34) who saw off Lee Fegan in the all-First XI tie, whilst another Second XI player, Tony Hirschenstein, just about pipped TFFC guest Martin Collins by one point in the closest of the ties. Representing the Old Boys XI is Alan Harounoff who beat former Old Boys player Bryan Silver by just three points. Players generally struggled with the 'Order! Order!' section, Dean managing 19 out of the 25 points available, with Lee getting only 3 points from the same questions. Everybody did better in the 'Managers' section, all eight competitors recording maximum points for Hodgson, Hughes and Rednapp. Several listed Manchester United as one of Ron Atkinson's Premier League teams but those in the know will recall that Ron was United's manager BEFORE the Premier League was formed! A couple of players misread the stadium capacities question in 'Order! Order!' – it said 'lowest to highest' and not the other way around! The quarter-final results were as follows: ALAN HAROUNOFF beat BRYAN SILVER 31-28 TONY HIRSCHSTEIN beat MARTIN COLLINS 26-25 JACK MORRIS beat LEE FEGAN 34-26 DEAN INGRAM beat JONATHAN COHEN 44-29 QUOTE OF THE DAY Whilst the Temple Fortune players were walking back to the changing room after losing 2-1 to Brady, I was talking to the referee Laurence Thorne who I felt had a decent game. Suddenly, one of the Brady contingent approached Laurence bitterly complaining about Jon Fisher's goal. He was a spectator in a leather jacket and jeans, probably one of the players' father. I explained to this guy that Laurence had been right in awarding the goal since the advantage at a free-kick is with the non-offending team. The ref gave the go ahead and Fisher shot home - fair goal! I recall Thierry Henry doing the same against Aston Villa a few years back. Anyway, the Brady muppet obviously didn't agree, shouting: "You're just a pair of wankers!" Out came Laurence's note book and a misconduct charge will be coming Brady's way for failing to control their supporters! Tut tut! KEEP IT ZIPPED! A timely reminder to those who think yapping at the referee gets you somewhere – a caution for DISSENT will cost you £16. The First Team have had four yellow cards for this offence in the past two matches, which is far too many. This message goes to ALL players representing Temple Fortune: KEEP IT ZIPPED! PUNCTUALITY ESSENTIAL Another reminder that you are requested to be at the venue NO LATER than 30 minutes before the kick-off. Anything after that is LATE. This applies to all three of our teams and fines will be imposed on repeated late-comers. Please take the time to click here and read the information carefully. LATE PLAYERS will continue to be named and shamed on this page in future and fines/suspensions will be imposed as necessary. ABUSE THE REF MEANS A FOUR MATCH BAN The Club has been making a point of drumming into all our players that abusing a match official will NOT be tolerated and will earn any offender a ban of FOUR MATCHES. A reminder will be emailed from time to time to everyone in the shape of examples of things you could say to a referee and be sent off. Some of the jpegs you will find amusing but the serious message is always the same – ABUSE THE REF = FOUR MATCH BAN. TWITTER AWAY WITH TFFC!

MACCABI FOOTBALL REVIEW MSFL review by Danny Caro, www.thejc.com/msfl MSFL FIRST DIVISION BRIXTON OLD BOYS 'A' 3, WOODFORD WANDERERS 4 Woodford took another massive step towards survival, and in doing so dented Brixton's promotion hopes with a memorable win at Clowes. The visitors flew out of the traps and went 2–0 up within the first 20 minutes. Paul Shone headed home a cross from Alex Aviram and Elliott Gold latched onto a Hahn through belting home possibly the goal of season. Brixton soon got one back and just before half time Woodford got a penalty, which Jerome Marks slotted home. Woodford then went in 3–1 but Brixton showed character in the second half to come back to make it 3–3. Five minutes from time Woodford lined up for a long throw into the box, instead went short. Aviram whipped in a ball to the back post; Midda leaped up to beat the keeper and head the ball back across goal for Poole to hammer home the winner. Jamie Kent (2) and Alon Hershkorn registered for Brixton. MONTANA BOCA UNITED 1, NORTH WEST NEASDEN 'B' 4 Daniel Hodes side moved up into joint-fifth as goals from Yoni Raeburn, Bruno Frankel, Jon Blain and Nick Kenton saw them to the points. MSFL FOURTH DIVISION BRADY MACCABI 'B' 1, SPEC 2 A last-ditch effort from Ricky Lawrence blew the race for the Division Four title wide open after SPEC claimed a memorable 2-1 success over favourites Brady 'B' at Copthall. Brady's goal came through player-manager Josh Dagul. JEWVENTUS 2, ATHLETICO FINCHLEY 1 Jewventus came from behind to beat Athletico 2-1 at Chase Lodge, courtesy of a last-minute winner. Athletico went 1-0 up in the first half with a goal of the season contender from Ben Mandell. He took the ball on the left flank, skipped past a player before unleashing a rocket of a shot which was flew perfectly into the top corner. It was in from the moment he hit it. Jewventus equalised in the second half with a header from cross and Gabriel John's men got the winner in the 90th minute after poor defending from a free kick. MASTERS LEAGUE SCRABBLE 1, BRADY MACCABI 'A' 0 Champions Brady fell to their second league defeat in a row, losing surprisingly to second from bottom Scrabble at The Hive. BRADY MACCABI 'B' v FAITHFOLD – Henry Swerner Trophy - First Round Division 2 Brady 'B' had to concede the tie against last season's runners-up due to a shortage of players.
