The absence of league fixtures this past saturday gave Ihan Finance a chance to try out a few new things in a friendly match played in Mengeš against a Slovenian 'celebrity' 11, including members of rock band Siddharta.

You would have thought that this match would be a walk-over for the division 5 outfit, but you would have been wrong. In fact they only just scraped to a 3-2 victory, thanks to an extremely rare occurence; A goal from David Ibbotson.

The pitch was terrible, the team was terrible, the attitude wasn't great, in fact the whole day was pretty much a non-event.

Kris Mole, who was substituted 10 minutes into the second half didn't even stay to watch the rest of the match, so pissed off was he at being taken from the pitch. He said this;

"There was nothing wrong with my attitude. The point is that I had some problems earlier in the morning which made it extremely hard for me to even get to the game. I asked the coach if it was really necessary that I come, and he told me that there was a big need for me as we didn't have enough players. Then I am taken off, so obviously wasn't so much in need. I know I didn't play well, that was due to the forementioned problems. Anyway, sometimes these things happen, but as far as I can see, playing against pop stars is not the way to be preparing for next week's league match."
