NSC Summer 6's. 2008. 20th July Preston Park

[CHAPPERS]

Mendoza/Richie, for all your bollocks about flair in the build up it was a bit of a surprise to see you play a SWEEPER! In a six a side game!!

.

Not just any sweeper though, the best god damn sweeper you've ever seen.

TBH Tim, I don't know what went on with NSC yesterday in their first match. They had a decent squad, and the three young lads were good players.

What went on was that half of the team didn't turn up until about 5 mins before kick-off and so we had no chance to warm up or work out tactics properly.

(Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it).

And I agree with Tim, that BERMUDA SHORTS and ODD SOCKS aside, Sporting were the very epitome of ANTI-FLAIR, in their self-confessed 'Peter Taylor' approach.

They only conceded 3 goals in 6 matches though, so fair play to them...

Cocky who was still somehow running

I reckon if you hadn't told him the tournament had finished he'd still be doing laps of Preston Park now.

Well happy that you won by the way.

Shambles. Cost you a semi-final spot. Buck always stops with the manager.

Frutos OUT

We only had one attacking player. Catenaccio was the way to success.

One upfront. One FLAIR sweeper. Free-flowing counter-attack and man marking the other team's best player (when they had one).

Lets COUNT the MEDALS shall we?

Bear with me, I'm noting all this down....

In that case you had better add 'Get a decent goalie...'

Sake.

 

[Frutos]

Cor I bet you found that an IMPOSSIBLE choice when you played us:yahoo:

Indeed, would be hard to tell which one of you was less awful than the rest.

Having witnessed the crocs at close quarters, whilst refereeing their only win, I have to say that they are actually NOT rubbish, just a LITTLE out of shape. There's definitely SOME ability there, but also a little evidence of a SCANT regard to healthy lifestyle choices and physical conditioning....

Just thought I'd share this. Before the NSC vs Exiles game, Simon told me that they would be 'taking it easy' on NSC as it wouldn't be fair if both the Exiles and Crowhurst 'stuck 15 past them'.

Turkey also wanted us to take it easy, for different reasons I think though so we would save our energy for the games after the apparent thrashing we were about to take

Obviously we did take it easy

[Withdean Wanderer]

I am still lost for words as to just how bad we were

In right with you on that - I ACHE big-time.

The ground is pretty hard to be throwing yourself about on all day, as us keepers in teams with such DISINTEREST in DEFENDING are prone to have to do.
