Doing a quick net search for Franco Cozzo related content (pop over to the General Board if you don't know what I'm talking about), I came across the piece below.
Let me just say that I am hereby retiring from writing match reports for my website, because there's no way I can measure up to this quality.
So, for your enjoyment, without embellishment or editing, I present to you "Steve"'s match report of Montrose Reserves vs East Bentleigh reserves, from Round 7 2000, taken from http://user.i.net.au/steve/reports/2000/2nds/Rnd_7.htm:
Grande sale, grande sale, grande sale. Compradae de Montrose Soccer club where we give away free goals every week!
You would think that after giving away a goal every f@#$ing week within 5 minutes of the taking the field after half time, we might learn? The opposition must be spiking our oranges every week because when we come back out we fall over ourselves and go out of our way to let them back in the game. The two goals conceded this week were nothing short of farcical. We are standing there waiting for the kick off, everyone saying concentrate for the first five minutes - "why?", "Because thats when we always concede a f%$#&*&$^Ying goal", "oh yeah". In the meantime the ref has blown his whistle, they hit a hopeful ball towards the keeper who gets cut off by 2 of our own players, the ball rebounds of his shin, the defenders have a discussion - "you kick it", "no after you old chum","I think it might be out after all?", "Lets ask the ref, he'll know", "excuse me ref…". Before you can say Franco Cozzo is a slimy old c*^$t, there left back runs the length of the field hooks the ball back to the middle of the goals and one of them scumbags slots it in. What is going on with this team? Maybe we should have red hot pokers up the arse at half time instead of oranges?
All too often it looks like we are just playing out the game for the sake of it, where's the passion, the guts, the determination. I tell you one thing, you won't find passion, guts, determination in players who turn up 10min before the kick off, all that does is create chaos with the coaching staff wondering who is actually going to turn up and resentment amongst those who have been there already for an hour marking the pitch, putting the nets up and sweeping out the rooms and then getting told they are on the bench.
Show some fight, some spirit for christs sake. You came down here to enjoy yourself didn't you? Who the f&^%$ck enjoys letting those pricks go home with a point?
The young blokes need to stop whinging about everything and the old blokes need to at least run a few laps at training. Some of them have too much guts! And everyone needs to stay and watch the Seniors play, they might be crap but at least they play with guts determination and passion.
Anyway, it was 2-2, Steve Cowley scored from 478 yards out and Matt Jones slotted home nicely in the second half - both goals put us in front by the way, but surprisingly we donated a couple back to them just to make their trip worthwhile.
Well played lads, keep up the good work! PUSSIES
