No title race is ever complete without a moaning manager. From the Premiership to the MGBSFL, it just adds to the drama.
David Garbacz guarantees five-star box-office entertainment in my online previews and reviews, but it appears that the pressure is finally getting to him after his troops failed to deliver.
FC Team stuck to their clever game-plan that left Garbacz tearing his hair out, and his pop at the referee was most unlike him. I’m mightily surprised by the timing of Garbacz’s rant. It certainly won’t do him any favours in the long run, or run-in, as the case may be.
Over the past season or so, he’s had run-ins, or what I’d describe as good-natured banter, with Phil Peters and Jon Jacobs, but has always kissed and made up.
Indeed Oakwood counterpart Ric Blank hit the nail on the head when he said: "All managers feel the heat — even at an amateur level. I hope David doesn’t get in too much trouble with the FA for those comments."
When Garbacz picks up this week’s copy of the JC, I’m sure he will privately admit that he overreacted.
Dodgy decisions are part and parcel of football, especially where Sunday morning football is concerned. But what separates the men from the boys is how teams respond to it.
When Garbacz picks up this week’s copy of the JC, I’m sure he will privately admit that he overreacted.
* Dan Shafron of Real Sosobad has made no secret of his admiration of Shacharit Donetsk marksman Adam Ellis.
The young hot-shot has already fired 29 goals in league and cup and you would struggle to find a club in the league that wouldn't want his services.
Shafron said: "We've offered Adam a contract for next season with a tidy signing- on bonus, so let’s hope he sees sense."
