I'm considering offering to play for Portsmouth.

[hans kraay fan club]

I wonder if they'd have me?

Now, just to be clear here, I'm 41, and the highest level of football I've ever played was representing my University, 20 years ago, but I'm a reasonable goalkeeper.

Portsmouth have EIGHT players (FIVE of whom they are actively trying to get rid of) including NO keepers.

They'll get a young keeper in from somewhere, or a loanee or something, but they'll need a sub.

Do you reckon if I rock up at their training ground (about a mile from my house) and ask for a trial, offering to play for FREE, they'd sign me up? It would be quite cool to say you were a player at League One level.

If they turn you down, you could try Rangers.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Obviously I work full time, so they'd have to agree to me not actually turning up for training or anything.

Also, I'm a bit worried about the effect it might have on my freindship with Edna K.

I'm not THAT bothered, and I'm not convinced Scottish L3 is a higher level than I play at now, anyway.

Also - they don't train just down the road.

I wonder if there is a could do a job thread on the Pompey forum.

HOPE you're NOT expecting ANY wages to PLAY

 

[Hove Seagull]

and you do take a decent penalty!

No - the offer would be to play for free, simply for the GLORY (of sitting on the bench for a crap league one football team).

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Ah - that would be good. I'd play for free, but negotiate a £200 goal bonus or something. Keepers who take spot kicks are flair.

I play semi-pro and also i'm only 17 having played for wolves and aston villa. How do you think i'd get on down at portsmouth

Seriously, if I were decent enough, I'd contact them and arrange a trial. What have you got to lose?

Its tempting mate, not actually signed a new contract at my club so could be worth a cheeky offer

Obviously you would never be able to post on here again. Scumbag etc

Good point.

I could actually put that to my employer as a bargaining tool. Let me go and train for 2 hours a day, but you'll see a net benefit, as I won't be allowed to spend 4 hours a day on NSC.

Bit harsh lol, would you call simon rodger, paul ifill etc scumbags? If i made a name for myself i'd request a move to the albion course

I don't see what you have to lose, in your position I'd get in touch...

 

[Questions]

You can't moderate on here and be a Pompey player.... There must be a conflict of interest or something. What would happen if people called you a useless ginger tosser when they saw you play and put in on NSC. How could it work ?

If I heard anyone shouting that at a game, I'd just stick my fingers in my ears, or assume they were directing it at Dave Kitson.

But if they wrote it on here ? You,re fragile, it could destroy you.
