So we may have to start with a sub goalie?

Even if Darylls lecture lasts 60 mins I doubt he'll be out to Knocklyon by 8pm

I'm not a student. It just so happens I get paid a ridiculous amount to do very little (i.e. teach students) It's gotta end sometime though, we're being audited at the moment. So what does this Martin guy do? Well, nothing really. Job over

I presume we have a jersey, so he'll just need shorts and socks etc, though the jersey might be a bit big on him anyway

LeixlipRed · 31-03-2009 3:43pm

We've no keepers jersey I think. Doesn't really matter though.

_blank_ · 31-03-2009 3:46pm

We have two goalkeepers jerseys.

A Green one and a Grey one.

I have the green one with me today.

ha ha

LeixlipRed · 31-03-2009 9:44pm

Word is 1-0 victory with Gav getting a goal late on. Sure the lads will be along to fill us in later.

_blank_ · 31-03-2009 10:37pm

thirteen players turned up, and Daryl came late.

Started off

clay

keith---dan---geoff---mick

gav----iain---collie----lepo

jules

eddie

Michael on the bench
Graham on the bench

Iain got injured early in the first half, so Dan went CM and Graham went CH with Geoff.

played alright first half, the new fellas very impressive, changed it up a bit for the second half, Michael going LB and Mick pushing up the wing.

Some better ball to the forwards, and we threatened without being clinical.

Late on, a great ball from Collie found Gav in space and he shot low to the far corner.

One nil is a decent result against these, so looking good so far.

No thursday and we can try more stuff.

LeixlipRed · 31-03-2009 11:01pm

Graham is kayroo is he? Is Iain's injury serious?

FrankGrimes · 31-03-2009 11:50pm

Yeh Des is spot on there, game of two halves really - we played around in our half a bit much first half and they were playing it out of defence at every opportunity. I didn't articulate it well at half-time as I was frustrated, but the type of ball we got up front second-half was exactly what we were looking for - I wasn't looking for hoofing long balls, just straight 20 yard balls to feet from midfield. The service and all round play second half was really excellent I thought - hands up we should have done more with it up front but if we keep playing like that, we'll be grand.

Second half they barely got to play it out of defence at all as we were splitting the fullback and centre-halve better and our wingers pushed up. That left them going long ball and Dan and Collie won the lion's share of the second balls and the defence snapped up plenty too.

Add in what I thought were very impressive performances from the newcomers - Collie and Graham, and that was a very worthwhile runout tonight.

Gutted for Iain though - just a few minutes back and was looking good on the ball and then gets injured. Let's hope it's not ligament damage like he suspects and is just a sprain.

dfx- · 01-04-2009 1:43am

From what I saw of the game, definitely some very good lines of inquiry to be explored for the new season to me. I was also right behind Gav's shot - in from the minute it was hit :cool:

homerjay2005 · 01-04-2009 9:30am

great to keep the winning going and good to have 2 new lads in to freshen things up. that was the ideal squad size for a friendly, more of the same on thursday and were sortred.

helimachoptor · 01-04-2009 9:53am

Thought it was a good game, as Jules said we tried to play it around a bit in the first half and got caught out a few times but best to do these things in friendlies anyway, it seemed our midfield went missing for the last 10 or so in first half.

2nd half I felt we dominated, Collie and Dan were immense in midfield and we started pushing up the wings a lot better, they started hoofing balls up front which we dealt with pretty handily.

Good game by Graham aswell though I would have though the was a bit too skillful for a defender:D

+1 on all of that....I'd say Graham is the type of player that has plenty of versatility alright and where his best position will be if he does join will be interesting to see.....nice problem for the manager to have!

Torn ligaments. 4 weeks out at least. Gutted but it could have been worse. The lads will still be there tomorrow but I won't. Back in the mothers being nursed back to health!!

Yes, I have that much time on my hands today:)

homerjay2005 · 01-04-2009 6:08pm

we are lucky we have a 2 week break, have picked up 4/5 injuries this week including TAone.

those monday night grass games are a pain in the hole. we lost for the first time since september, on monday, missing 10 players, 7 of who would be first 11. mark made his comeback to the team. its going to cost us the league now i think.

i will be there tomorrow, looks like we will have 13 or so again, which is spot on for friendlies.
