Vicenet left via "the back door" today

[WallyBanana]

Stayed behind in the East for a drink tonight, then went to get the train and as we were walking past the North shutters they lifted up and out popped Vicente and another Spanish man. Got a photo, but just wondering why he would walk all through the ground to get out instead of walking out of reception? Not happy to come on maybe?

Isn't that the nearest door to the players car park?

Yep!

 

[WallyBanana]

yeah....but never seen any others sneek out that way

Pretty much all the players leave via the North Stand. On a regular basis I see players leave that way...

 

[WallyBanana]

oh well.....thought there may be some gossip! Nehmind!

Casper left that way today as did Dunk and Brezovan.

Noticed that in the warm up he kicked the ball about 6 times then went back down the tunnel. Is he really fit or just put on the bench to please the fans.

Cool story. Also who is Vicenet?

 

[WallyBanana]

He's a drunk Vicente!

 

[JBizzleBeard]

I have noticed (like BG says) Vicente doesn't seem to stay out with all the subs...

Gus said post match that the plan was to give Vicente 30 minutes but was scuppered by the injuries plus lack of peak match fitness of Calderon and Vincelot which meant he had to hold a defender in reserve

 

[Easy 10]

He was actually WALKING though ?

Thats encouraging.

Sounds about right.

I expect they had the crutches on stand by though.

Don't be ridiculous! They had the heated mobility scooter ready to go

We didn't need to risk him today, the guys did us proud. If it had been 0-0 with 20 to go it might have been a different story. A good call by Gus. What if he'd been injured as well?

Very unlikely we'd waste a sub on a player who can't be brought on. In fact, I'd say there's no chance of that.

We have a warm-up area inside so, given Vicente's injury record, it's more than likely he'd do some extra stretching in there and maybe have some massage.

He's obviously a 'back door man'.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

For the record I don't think it was worth risking him today. We were comfortable without him!
