ROB GIER out of Ascot United?

MATCH REPORT: Rob Gier/Ascot United/Uhlsport Premier League, United Kingdom(9th tier)

Jan 2 2012 Ascot United  1-2  Binfield
Jan 7 2012 Ardley United  0-2  Ascot United

Rob's Ascot United comes up with a .500 record for the first two games of 2012, losing at home and a rare away game win. The home loss on Jan 2nd against Binfield was especially heartbreaking as they lost via a 92nd minute goal. The Yellamen made amends with an away win where they used their new personnel well and played a high tempo game throughout. The result, 2-0 for Ascot U.

Ascot United is currently 12th in the 21 team Uhlsport Hellenic Premier League.

Rob suffered a leg injury during last Decembers exhibition match against the MLS Champion, Los Angeles Galaxy. As of Jan 10 2012, he is in Manila ostensibly to prepare for the coming Challenge Cup with the Philippine National Team.

There has been speculations that Rob Gier may be out of the team(Ascot U) as he has not played lately and since November has played sparingly for the team.  His last game with the Yellamen was Nov 22nd, a 0-5 loss against Flackwell Heath at home. I have inquired with Rob recently about his status with the team and have yet to get a response.

Next fixture: Jan 14 2012 a home game against the Oxford City Nomads, currently 2nd place.
