looks like the boy is in a hurry to make a name for himself

 

[spunkmonkey]

Yep seen with my own eyes a good strike. He looks good lovely touch.

 

[Horsham Gull]

Nevermind

 

[Super Gus!]

sounds like the two argies have a fair bit to offer already!

 

[FFF]

Battipiedi.

 

[Gav1901]

Is this on radio ?

My immediate concern is that we have let McNulty go out on loan and have to keep playing James Smith. I realise that he is one for the future, perhaps, but at the moment he looks to be the weak link in the defence and would not be able to cover for Painter if the need arose. So why keep playing him at left back why not try somebody else?

 

[We're the Stripes]

Is this on radio ?

'Fraid not. Just put BBC Sussex on now, just gave a brief update but no commentary.

I'm sure Cantor/Camillin did commentary for the friendlies last year? I recall listening to the Wimbledon game.

Kishishev.

Kish might be able to cover that spot or any other for that matter

havent seen him play so might be talking crap, but from the sounds of it, he's been one of the more impressive players in our pre season games so far.

We had live commentaries for the friendly games last season as they were talking about all the shit equipment they were expected to use during the half time interval forgetting to turn the mics off.
