2015 Moody Blues FC Annual Awards
The new season is almost upon us and just before kick-off I invite you to review the season that was 2015. As always the blue brotherhood experienced highs and lows along with the usual unpredictable numbers, poorly washed kit, disproportionate moaning, laughs and inevitable mid table quicksand. Standout awards include:

Most Racist Award
After Johnny B’s 2014 undisputed grip on this trophy due to his one man jihad against any mammal of Asian pedigree there was some expectation this trophy, either physically or ideologically, would be hotly contested. Apparently not so. Instead one man alone unexpectedly burst forward from the pack with the power of a 1000 suns. That man – Uncle Denis Mills. First game, first half of the season the Moody Blues FC Minister for Cultural Affairs conceded a penalty with a fucking arm lock, foot sweep combo in the penalty box which had Dutchman Jurgen simulating eight broken bones, pulled back and bad credit all while pointing to the spot. Quicker than you can say “Welcome to Country”, Millsy launched at Jurgen, cursing his existence, calling him a cheat, using expletives about his mother and then the inevitable escalation to “Why don’t you go home?”. Sigh. While not particularly original or cutting its great to see Uncle Mills/Ah Wang back amongst the trophies.
You’re the best…No Really You’re the Worst Award
The goalkeeping issue reared its ugly head in a major way this year with Spiro believed missing or dead and instead an ugly line up of miscreants stood between the posts resulting in some truly ugly goals conceded. Of course this doesn’t excuse the goal aversion of every forward player that put on a blue shirt but that’s a story for another time. So in seeking some guidance about what to do I ran a poll amongst the squad for a solution about a goalkeeper. Below are the results;
1.0% - of Moodies said go with Rantucci (result considered a donkey vote)
2.0% - of Moodies said go with Lockie (technically never made a save but ok. Suspected self-voting)
5.0% - of Moodies said go with Nelson (I mean how important is covering the four feet between head and cross bar)
8.0% - of Moodies said go with Bordo (He’s world class in the two feet around his right foot. Other areas not so much)
9.0% - of Moodies said go with Glen (Is a keeper who can’t reach below his thighs important?? Nah)
20.0% - of Moodies said they just want to watch the world burn.
55.0% - of Moodies said do a Ian Potter and steal a keeper from someone else.

MVP Award
We all know Manly Matty won the most sought after trophy in FNQ Football and with the social media celebration that followed it was the Moodies Facebook page that also unexpectedly experienced a surge in friend requests from;
a. Bunches of woman surprised that a bunch of hairy arsed footballers could use social networking/the internets,
b. Matty’s missus who was unaware he played football and had presumed for two years he was just late coming home like he is for every other fuckin thing he does.
c) People who were interested to follow the further adventures of Matty in licensed venues and the bi-curious liquids he drinks.
Matty of course was not happy about this and filmed a video (with Stormin Norman on voice over) summarizing a response to why he drinks beverages that seemingly no other man has ever tasted. See below (press play Andy)

Team Spirit Award
There are few things that unify the Moody Blues beyond fighting, moaning, reasonably priced takeaway food and the occasional game of football. Loyalty to the blue shirt is however paramount. Sure some people give up the game, hell some people have formed new teams off the back of Toddy’s sometime fractious personality but ultimately it’s safe to say once you’re in we’ll never let you go. So full penis points to Rob Agostino for his sudden but inevitable betrayal in playing for Bavarians in a Moodies carnival. The upside of this situation was it gave the Moodies a chance to show all those anger management classes haven’t gone to waste and instead come together as a team, be all mature and shit and commit our hurt feelings to paper (or a sheet in this instance). Mind you once we saw Agostino's carnival form we cared a whole lot less...

Rookie of the Year / Survivor Award
Once the 87 odd players we have for the first two games of every season had fucked off by game 5 we were looking around for more players. El Andy claims he knew a guy and a long comes Sean Lisle. The man who was born a Geordie, who then moved to New Zealand and eventually landed on our shores but somehow managed to avoid speaking with either fucked dialect. He had a few games out on the right but after consistently showing he liked running, not passing and shooting like shit, Moodies management figured he fit in with every other center-midfielder we’ve ever had so he ended up playing there for the season. By September he even passed the ball. But all up he survived the season, played in the carnivals, committed to some karaoke and played well until he decided in consecutive weeks to run head long into a man twice his size and compressing into a crepe with shin pads. I guess the overall message is ‘harden up cunt but well done with your first year in the Moodies and Rookie of the Year award’, even if Matty reckons you had fuck all chance with the MVP trophy.
Good luck with the 2016 season boys....
