Brigade: Kill At Will (vol.1 mixed by Project Pat)

Originally the idea was to create a fictional supporters group. It’s been over a year and half in the works… and as of today, “Brigade” comes to life. This little movement will focus on our musical inspirations, also inspired by supporters group stories and historicle events. Every month, starting today, we will release “mixtapes/podcasts/downloads”. Some more good stuff in the works, so please stay tuned. Much love to Project Pat for the mix.

The much inspring Week 5 match programme done by Mark Regimbal was chosen as the cover of this very first mixtape.

Week 5

Division B

The snow storm couldn’t happen at a worst time! Right when people plan to leave their house and attend the venue. That left both us The Ringleaders and adversaries FC Pharaohs with few players to substitute with. Most showed up before half time though, that was quite relieving.

It was a solid game which I believe both teams played well. The referee made many mistakes numerous times especially with throw inns and corner kicks. For some reason he wouldn’t whistle after the whole ball would cross over the side line and all… real confusing.

We played very well together, our transition balls between the midfield and forwards were well executed. We were also tight defensively, and Rodrigo Riffo brought much confidence to us. Some player from the other squad released a canon side volley early on in the 1st half, but Rod “punched” it nice and clean over the crossbar. That kept us in the game for real.

RFC 2 won the match 4-1.

Division C

A difficult fixture against FC Alianza who were yet to lose. But following our solid performance last week we were looking to make a push up the table.

After going down to an early goal we were making a valiant effort to get back in the game and were putting some good moves together. That was when disaster struck.

Thanassi made a surging run into the opposition half and easily rounded one of the FC Alianza players, unfortunately the player made a dangerous lunging tackle completely missing the ball and making heavy contact with Thanassi’s knee.

It was immediately evident that this was a very serious injury and Thannasi would play no further part in the game. We now know that Thanasi’s out for the rest of the season, which is a tragic blow for him and the Ringleaders, something that has put a severe dampener on the whole season.

Losing such an influential player undoubtedly had a great impact on the team and we were never able to fully focus on the game thereafter. We lost 4-0, with the only highlight being an amazing penalty save by the always outstanding Giancarlo Talarico.

Week 3

The Greeks give it a miss.  My father warned me about this day.  History repeats itself.  And as southern europe stood in disarray after the fall of Alexander it was left up to a mighty Roman, Augustus, to continue the progression of our civilisation.  But unfortunately I’m english, and at the time of Augustus, civilised was not something the english were well adversed with.  And on this day, with the greeks gone and no romans in site, I found myself in Brossard…alone, in charge of both teams and holding a large box of socks, more socks than I’d ever held before.

Division B

Luckily I quickly realised that I wasn’t there alone, I was there as part of Ringleaders FC and as I handed out the new socks to my team mates I knew we were capable of anything.  So at 4pm, RFC 2 lined up for their game against Real Montreal and the team stepped up and put in an extremely solid performance.  Unfortunately, we were limited to sharing the points with Real Montreal, with the post and crossbar presenting us with seemingly unfathomable problems, but with Rod making some extremely sharp saves we were not too disappointed with the draw and left the field somewhat content.  The game finished 2-2.

Division C

As RFC warmed up for their 5pm game against Once Amigos, the confidence we were taking from RFC 2’s performance in the first game quickly dissipated as I was faced with a referee holding a horribly inaccurate team sheet.  After 25 minutes of haggling with the flimsy bureaucracy we had to paid to govern us, two of our players were deemed illegible to play.  This ruling was outrageous and cloud of negativity and confusion descended upon the team.

This aura of confusion seriously affected our play and we lacked the concentration needed to put a stop to our somewhat consistent opponents.  We fell to defeat for the second week in a row with the lowly result of 6 to 1.  Heads dropped as we left and I knew it was going to take more than the return of the Greeks next week to pick us up.

After his much inspiring first goal of the season, Jesse Bowden is on the rise. Matchday three is on a “Brigade” tip, paying tribute to Dirty Rotten Imbeciles.
