BACKPASS: Old but Gold

CRIME SCENE 1st Amateur League, Group B: It is never too late Martin Graf is an old-school defender. So someone who doesn't have much interest in the modern, game-opening defender ideal and prefers to launch the balls into the offensive according to the motto "high and far brings security". And also one in which the center line usually has a similar effect to a “Beware of Dog” sign, i.e. up to here and no further. So it's hardly surprising that the trained bricklayer has only scored once in his over 350 competitive games for Pichl Gsies, with a lousy penalty in a 1-3 defeat sometime in 2011.

A lot of time has passed since then - and for Graf himself, that hit is probably now buried under a thick layer of dust in his long-term memory. That's why he treated himself to a little refreshment at the weekend. With a corner shortly before the half-time whistle for his Pichl Gsieser, Graf dared to advance into the opponent's unfamiliar penalty area, saw a cross fluttering ideally towards him, didn't hesitate for long and headed the ball into the net. Not only did he turn the game around (his 1:2 was the start of Gsieser's comeback, which ended in a 5:2 win), but he also scored for the first time after 15 and a half years in Pichl Gsies' service out of the game. What the online dating agency Parship has long trumpeted as an advertising slogan for the 40-plus generation has now been internalized by 34-year-old Martin Graf: It's never too late to try something new.

CRIME SCENE National league: Old School It's up to the young to do it: there was so much veteran class on the lawn in Moos in Passeier on Saturday that it could easily serve as a worthy surface for the next Rolling Stones concert. We're talking about the game between Moos and Plose, on which three warhorses, Herbert Pixner, Valentin Brugger and Roman Prosch, really left their mark. The 41-year-old Pixner made it 1-0 for the Passeirians, the 37-year-old Prosch not only brought a breath of fresh air after coming on for Plose, but also the 1-1 equalizer - and the 34-year-old Valentin Brugger left it Shortly before the end, he didn't hesitate to play the know-it-all teacher, send the very young Plose defense back to school with a wonderful solo run and, in the style of a grandmaster, score a 2-1 win for Moos.

CRIME SCENE 1st Amateur League, Group B: All Jewish The hero of the weekend was the Olang substitute goalkeeper Georg Jud: In a crazy game against Klausen, his goalkeeper colleague Martin Mutschlechner caused a penalty in the 90th minute and with the score at 2:2 with a reaction foul, as unnecessary as a sandpit in the Sahara. which almost cost his team dearly. If it weren't for substitute goalkeeper Georg Jud: The keeper jumped up from the bench, stood unwarmed in the box when the penalty was due, then blocked the shot with a foot reflex, then thanked the opposing shooter, who took the follow-up shot from five meters miserably sat next to the goal and was then celebrated as the match winner. All Jews, right?
