August 12th: King's Lynn (h) (3/46) The first half started with WLKRAS rattling the upright from outside the area after beating the defence to a loose ball. On the 18th minute we had another chance to open the scoring as Jon1982 headed wide of the post from a Copperhorse cross. We were controlling the game and on the 28th minute Mandy42 hit straight into the keepers arms when it was easier to score. The second half was eight minutes old when I was forced into a change as BenArsenal came on for Copperhorse who was limping badly after a challenge. On the hour mark King's Lynn had their first chance with a curling effort which had Jrobertgordon13 at full stretch to save. On the 65th minute we opened the scoring as BenArsenal threaded the ball to Dalbeider who lashed it past the keeper. Straight after the goal I made a couple of changes as Tenthreeleader and Mark Wilson27 came on for Hockeybhoy71 and WLKRAS. Ten minutes later King's Lynn had another chance to score with a well worked team move which was thwarted by Chilean Ranger. With seven minutes remaining in the game we conceded a silly goal as J.Barett fired in from close range after Jrobertgordon13 fluffed a cross to the feet of J.Barett. On the stroke of full time we came close to to losing the game but Neilhoskin77 saved the day with a wonderful challenge just before the striker pulled the trigger FMS Rejects 1-1 King's Lynn Dalbeider 65 (BenArsenal assist) / J.Barett 83 Jrobertgordon13, Chilean Ranger, Neilhoskins77, Bigmattb28, Hockeybhoy71 (65-Tenthreeleader), Celtic_1967, Mandy42, Copperhorse (inj 53-BenArsenal), Jon1982, WLKRAS (65-Mark Wilson27), Dalbeider After the game I was informed that Copperhorse only picked up a dead leg and wont miss much time

August 8th: Spennymoor (a) (2/46) Not the start I wanted as we went down to an early goal as the Spennymoor attack barged through the defence with far too much ease and fired under Jrobertgordon13. Soon after they had another chance with a long range effort which went inches over the crossbar. We were being outplayed with ease and on the half hour we came close to losing another goal but Lawlore managed to time his challenge to perfection. Just before the break we had our first chance to of the game as Gavrenwick crossed into the area but CFuller headed straight into the keeper arms. The second half was thirteen minutes old when I made a triple change as Tenthreeleader, BenArsenal and Dalbeider all came on in place of Hockeybhoy71, Leicester33 and CFuller. The change worked out perfectly as BenArsenal effort was flapped by the keeper and Mark Wilson27 tapped in the loose ball. On the 67th minute we had another chance to score as Dalbeider threaded the ball to the feet of Mark Wilson27 who lashed it well wide of the post. We were starting to take control of the game and on the 83rd minute we had our next chance to score as Jon1982 tried his luck from distance but the Spennymoor keeper was on hand to keeper the scores at 1-1, and that is how it ended Spennymoor 1-1 FMS Rejects L.Mbeka 13 / Mark Wilson27 59 Jrobertgordon13, Tikka Mezzala, Lawlore, Bigmattb28, Hockeybhoy71 (58-Tenthreeleader), Celtic_1967, Leicester33 (58-BenArsenal), Gavrenwick, Jon1982, CFuller (58-Dalbeider), Mark Wilson27 Booked: Leicester33 August 11th: Injury news isn't good for the club as EvilDave will be out for three months after suffering shin splints during training

March 31st: Dortmund (a) Champs Cup ¼ Final 1st Leg We controlled the first half with ease and on the 17th minute we had our first chance as K.Jardine curled the ball into the area but A.Grossi fluffed his effort. Soon after we had another chance as M.Arruabarrena hit the crossbar from twenty odd yards. It was too easy for us and on the 33rd minute K.Jardine had another chance with a long range effort but the Dortmund keeper was on hand to block the effort. Just before the break M.Vandamme was clear on goal but the Dortmund keeper saved bravely at his feet. Four minutes into the half we finally broke the deadlock as S.Pino showed some great skill to beat the defence and wasted no time in giving us the lead. However after the goal Dortmund started to play and on the 57th minute they came close to scoring but J.Smith was alert enough to slide in and clear the ball. Ten minutes later J.Smith again saved the day with a wonderful block on the line after K.Swaby fluffed a save. With fourteen minutes remaining in the game Dortmund were reduced to ten men after M.Albusberger was sent off for a second yellow card.

August 2023: August 5th: Chester (h) Vanarama National League North (1/46) So the fun begins as we face our first real competitive game. We started the brighter as Mandy42 crossed into the area on the 12th minute but Dalbeider fired wide of the post. Ten minutes later though Chester came close with a well struck effort which had Jrobertgordon13 at full stretch to save. On the 33rd minute Dtown1414 was on hand to block an effort off the line after the rest of the defence fell asleep. We were being outplayed and just before the half time interval Bigmattb28 headed clear from under the crossbar after Jrobertgordon13 fluffed a corner. The second half was all Chester as we seemed to struggle with the simple things in football and on the hour mark Chester's striker stung the fingers of Jrobertgordon13 from the edge of the are but Lawlore managed to clear the ball up the pitch. On the 67th minute we finally became undone as G.Glendon ran through the defence with far too much ease and rounded Jrobertgordon13 to slot into the empty net to silence the Rejection Power fans. Twelve minutes later Lawlore slid in to deny the Chester side a second goal after some more woeful defending. On the 80th minute I made a double change with EvilDave and CFuller coming on for Gavrenwick and Mark Wilson27. With two minutes remaining in the game Chester had one last chance with a well worked move which was thwarted by Jrobertgordon13's outstretched leg. Not the start to the season I wanted FMS Rejects 0-1 Chester G.Glendon 67 Jrobertgordon13, Dtown1414, Bigmattb28, Lawlore, Hockeybhoy71, Mandy42, Copperhorse, Gavrenwick (80-EvilDave), BenArsenal, Dalbeider, Mark Wilson27 (80-CFuller) Booked: Lawlore

March 27th: Arsenal (h) (32/38) A cracking start saw us taking the lead on the 8th minute as D.Leonardi jinked through the defence and fired in past the Arsenal keeper who stood no chance. Six minutes later we had another chance as K.Jardine crossed into the area but A.Grossi fired just wide of the post. On the 20th minute we grabbed goal number two as D.Leonardi curled in from the outside of the area after the Arsenal defence kept on backing away from him. We carried on the pressure and just before the break K.Jardine had his next chance with a long range effort which the keeper tipped over the crossbar. The second half started the same as we carried on the pressure and on the 58th minute we made it 3-0 as G.Mokulu headed home a free-kick from D.Leonardi. It was too easy for us or so we believed as Arsenal started to up the gears and on the 64th minute they had the chance to pull a goal back as A.Moinaro stepped up for a penalty but his strike went high and wide, However seven minutes later Arsenal grabbed a goal back as L.Ndiaye beat the defence with surprising ease and fired under K.Swaby.

An excellent start to the story as always sir, will be following and seeing how many awards this one will get you

Ben-Thought it was about time I tried another effort with one of these Dalbeider - Oh to be 16 again, along time ago for myself Oche Balboa - Good to have you along Neil - Sorry abouth the error with your nationality, I should know better. It has been edited and will be showed in Season Two as I have the first season in the bag already. I am feeling alittle better than I was, slowly getting their July 8th: So no time to faff about the club start the preseason with a 2-1 loss to Matlock Town with MarkWilson27 scoring on the 3rd minute however J.Margetts scored on the 11th and Matlock's second goal was scored on the 31st minute with J.Johnston heading in past Jrobertgordon13. Both sides played attacking football but neither could add to their respective totals.

The game also saw Celtic_1967 out for a few days after twisting his knee July 12th: The next friendly saw The Rejects beating Brighouse 3-1.

With seven minutes remaining in the game Markwilson27 added a second and final game for The Rejects with a great shot from a Dtown1414 through-ball. July 18th: The Rejects now faced Corby and demolished them 6-1 with Copperhorse opening the scoring on the 18th minute. Four minutes later Corby pulled level with J.Buculossi heading in past Daniel Evensen. On the 24th minute it was two one as Dalbeider hit home from twenty five yards to beat the keeper. Seven minutes later Markwilson27 added a third goal with a curling shot after running onto a Mandy42 pass. It was getting too easy as on the 33rd minute Mandy42 slotted home from a low Dtown1414 cross. The second half was much the same as The Reject controlled the play and on the hour mark Dalbeider headed in a Gavrenwick cross. The Rejects were all over the Corby side and on the 80th minute it was 6-1 as Celtic_1967 slotted home a penalty after a Gavrenwick shot was handled in the area July 29th: The final friendly of the month saw us facing Vauxhall Motors and The Rejects motor into a lead as Mandy42 fired in from the edge of the area after collecting a Dtown1414 pass. The game then seemed to die down with little action until Vauxhall equalised with last kick of the game from L.Pulford.

March 9th: A.C.Milan (h) Champs Cup 1st Knockout Rd 2nd Leg (agg 1-2) The game started slowly with little attacking efforts to shout about in the first twenty minutes. It was Milan who grabbed the first chance of the game as they broke through the defence but L.King managed to clear the ball off the line. On the 35th minute my side had the next chance with a curling effort from M.Arruabarrena which clipped the top cross joint of the goal. With a minute remaining in the half we grabbed a fluky goal as K.Jardine crossed into the area but his cross screwed off his foot and looped over the Milan keeper.
