The crowd was only allowed on one half of the ground and all their supporters wear tweed and drink chardonnay.
Don't know if this is an excuse but it gets written a lot.

"the boys had a real dip but momentum is a funny thing in football" - my all tame fav

"we were due to lose one"

"this loss will teach us more than scrambling an undeserved win"

The players didn't get water during the game.

I actually loved the Power's one for this week:
'We lost because we had no idea how long there was left in the game'.
Certainly a novel one!
P.S. Yes, am fining myself for mentioning the AwFuL!!
