Short of ideas up front, the defence was woeful &#8211; even more so than usual. The defence always was suspect but when they had a lightning-quick attack it usually compensated for it. But with illness, injury and suspension the attack has long gone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1104\/1104134.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1104\/1104134.jpg\" alt=\"fcpsh fc pionsat st hilaire nord combraille puy de dome ligue football league france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>I wasn&#8217;t at Pionsat for the 3rd XI game because I was at St Eloy to see the 1st XI take on Nord Combraille, and just for a change, thrash them 7-2 which is always very pleasant to stuff one of our local neighbours. It adds spice to some of these local derbies.<\/p>\n<p>The Miners could only put out 10 players, which is astonishing for a 1st Division match, and while their attack was quite useful, the defence was way beyond woeful and at times passed into the comical.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1104\/1104135.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1104\/1104135.jpg\" alt=\"puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>In one four-minute spell (I counted it) we had &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>a Pionsat cross from the by-line driven into the area to no-one in particular (there was no Pionsat player forward) cannon off a St Eloy defender tracking back and go into his own goal.<\/li>\n<li>A high Pionsat cross from the by-line into the area to no-one in particular, and the keeper palmed it into his own net<\/li>\n<li>A long high ball forward from Pionsat to no-one in particular- the keeper shouts &#8220;to me&#8221; to his centre half &#8211; the centre-half heads it backwards but with nothing like enough power &#8211; the keeper has to dive miles forward to gather it up, but he spills it &#8211; his forward momentum carries the ball quite some distance forward to an unmarked Nico who simply sidefoots it into an empty net.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All of that in four minutes!<br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>I was in Montlucon this afternoon buying stuff for the water system. It cost me \u20ac100 more-or-less but it&#8217;s all good-quality stuff and that should keep it all in good condition and done up properly, with taps between the two tanks to isolate them, and a central tap to drain them.<\/p>\n<p>But I had a brainwave. I was going to join them up using some pipe connectors and some transparent pipe, but fot the same money I bought one of those stainless steel flexible tap connectors \u00a0That&#8217;s much more like it.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Brico Depot now selling bulkhead connectors make a whole load of things much more possible.<\/p>\n<p>And now I&#8217;m off to bed.
