Panthers FC 4 vs 2 PUMAS FC

Pumas FC 2 - 4 Panthers.

We lost! Let's get it out of our systems! Every team loses sometimes. Let's forget about it today, but learn from and use it from now, starting next week!

Panthers came at us with a bunch of new Japanese guys, ex-pros and the like. It sometimes happens in the TML. Let's be honest though, they were better than us overall today, especially in the first half. We recoverd in the second half...it was a great effort...but too late.

Also we suffered TWO bad injuries, one to Kyota battling for the ball in the box and another for Hama who replaced him in goal...it wasn't our day. So, we forget about it BUT we have to bounce back next week!

Let's put today's loss in context. It's our first this season, first since losing to Hibs on PKs, last JUNE, and it's Shin's and Yuma's FIRST EVER loss for Pumas.

IF, Hibs win every game in hand they have they are still two points behind us AND we have a solid goal difcerence. We are far ahead of everyone else. We are having a great season and we will continue to do so.

Still, the mark of true champs is how they recover from a bitter loss.

Let's show Celts how a wounded Puma fights next week!!!!!!

Today's goals were from Ryosuke, great turn and finish in a crowded box, and Richard, finishing off a really nice move from Uri.

MoM goes to it's first ever female recipient...Kaori! Not only did she come to support us for a 09:15 kick off but she also took care of Kyota and Hama after their injuries.

Thank you Kaori!

Guys, we have ANOTHER match on our schedule! Please be available - I'll take ins / outs tonight!

Cheers lads!!!
