Referees and Injuries cost Navs dear...

OK. The boys are still with out a win, but their exceptional circumstances my friends. A mounting injury crisis has ripped the heart out of the team (or more accurately the bowels of the team) and some of the refereeing has been dubious to say the least. This may sound like sour grapes but I feel I must get this off my chest by summarising some of the decisions:

-Galls fouled in penalty area. Ref awards free kick then only makes defensive wall retreat 2 yards. Galls not amused.

-Onloan striker Brown fouled in penalty area with match in balance. Ref waves play on. Navs lose 8-1. No one amused.

-Martin (aka Rascal) has perfectly good goal disallowed for offside. Martin not amused.

And there have been many more such examples. But we fight on friends. We are down but not destroyed. Hard pressed on every side but not crushed, Perplexed but not in despair. Bruised but not broken. We will sweat blood for the cause and we will win a game before we return to our native shores. In fact, we will not leave Tanzania until we have a victory under our ever loosening belts...We will make Britain proud.

Footballing aside, we have arrived in Moshi and begin work at Amani Childrens home and Moshi Remand Centre tomorrow morning. We are looking forward to getting stuck in to some serious painting and building work. We will keep you posted!
