An interesting morning to report on. Andy "Convict" Sharp (right) appeared directly from behind bars, Tom "Gypo" McGuire rampaged through Winkfield's opponents and got the game abandoned and Scott "Fritzl" Bennison locked an innocent woman in his car!With the game being called off by the referee so early on in the day, Manager Bennison was quick to call a press conference and the local Winkfield Club. The press arrived in their hundreds to hear about the on and off field antics.
Saracens pre-match preparations were scuppered slightly by the last minute release of Andy Sharp from his antics the night before the match.
Gary Lineker from BBC Sport was first off the mark with a question about the full-back. "Andy's a nice lad, I believe he is not guilty of any wrong doing, he couldn't be, he doesn't even know what a tampon is!" shrugged off Bennison, clearly not worried by the players run-in with the old bill.
Andy Gray, Sky Sports pundit, wanted to know more about why the Cup game was called off so early on and fellow countryman McGuire's first appearance. Bennison played down the incident which led to the referee calling time early, "A injury to The Met' player after a challenge with McGuire led to the game being abandoned early on. Did you see my save?".
Gossip from around the ground had suggested a gypsy had run riot on the pitch, however this was actually a clumsy challenge from the Scotsman which knocked the home winger off the ball. As he fell he broke his collarbone and then refused to move half an inch off of the pitch because it hurt and his mum wasn't there yet.
The only other point of controversy questioned by the press was around the kidnapping of a young Danish woman from the stands at the game who was later found locked in the team Managers car. Bennison would not go into details. "No comment".
Even though there was meant to be a winner decided on the day, with extra time and penalties available, only 15 minutes of football was played on the day with no goals. Saracens tested a new 4-3-3 formation which looked like a good attacking ploy. The Metropolitan's only possession came from long free-kicks into the Saracens box.
Saracens managed at least 4 early chances in the game. 2 falling to Callaway who couldn't finish his breakfast and the other 2 for Whitty, who in two clashes with the goalkeeper was getting no change from the officials.
The re-play is scheduled for next weekend and Saracens, given 90 minutes, will be favorites for this encounter.
