Wadadah FC, behind two spectacular second half goals by Raphael Palmer and Arval Campbell and a tough expletive-laced half-time talk by coach Anthony 'Follies' Williams, rallied from a 0-2 first half deficit to draw 2-2 with Seba United in their 2006-07 Wray & Nephew NPL <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px; COLOR: orange! important; BORDER-BOTTOM: orange 1px solid; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Montego </SPAN><SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px; COLOR: orange! important; BORDER-BOTTOM: orange 1px solid; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">Bay</SPAN> derby at Jarrett Park on Sunday night.
In a game of two contrasting halves, Seba United looked well on the way to winning the game when goals by Ricardo Geddes and Glenroy Miller gave them a two-goal advantage going into the second half.
However, it was not to be, thanks to Wadadah's improved second half play. By virtue of sharing the points, the two Montego Bay teams remain in the lower half of the 12-team standings in ninth and 10th places respectively, as while they are locked on an identical 14 points each, the Wadadah team enjoys a superior goal difference.
Feisty talk
While it was the goals by Palmer and Campbell that earned Wadadah a share of the points, for coach Williams, it was his feisty half-time talk that made the difference and woke up the players to the reality that they were not playing to their pre-game plan.
"A just pure bad words me tell them half-time because I am getting sick and tired of this foolishness with players not following instructions," said Willams, who has felt the wrath of the JFF in the past for his choice of words when issuing instructions from the team's bench. "I also made it clear to Rohan Reid that he was either going to play centre-half or I was going to take him off the field."
Off to a blazing start and looking quite ominous, the Seba United team took the lead in the eighth minute.
On a dribble down the right flank, Norman Foster fired in a superb cross into the path of Geddes, whose pin-point header flashed past <A class=kLink id=KonaLink1 style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" href="http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20061212/sports/sports13.html#" target=_new><SPAN class=kLink
