[Minty]

The other thread is a bit big so I'm sure a new one for the 'reaction' is appropriate.

The first batch of pics, including most of the goals and nickh's 'sending off', are all on this link:

How did you know when to take the picture? This looks too good quality to be off a video recording.

[RedAndWhite91]

Quality photos Minty, nice one.

If he's using the cameras they use on matchdays, I think they take a load of pictures in quick succession.

Great photos Minty.

Was a good match played in the right spirit. Well done the Home Team

8.5 photos/second to be precise. They're a bit old now but there are still some pro sports photographers using them because they don't trust the focusing on the newer models.

Brilliant night, well done all! Cant wait for next year

Who's doing player ratings? :P

[Saint in Paradise]

Who is that long haired woman on the ground when the away team scored ? I didn't know it was
a mixed sex game.


Now you lot know what it must be like to play for that lot down the M27, they play in front
of lots of empty seats.

there was a lot of segregation due to the friction between the home and away fans

[Robsk II]

Foxy tried to headbutt me.

that would have been a waste of energy, i must talk to him about that

[Robsk II]

He's been doing it for years, nasty sort of player.

[Foxy]

Would have been risky too, what with the lack of hair Robsk has these days to cushion the impact

[Robsk II]

It's called fine hair, not thin hair.

I'm no Rabbit at any rate.

[SO16_Saint]

shocking turnout from the plastic fans IMO.


Great photos, and sounds like it was a good night had by all.


Well done for arranging this.

[Neilza]

Would just like to say thanks to Steve Grant for organising this again, was a fantastic night. Obviously there were a few tactics from the away side to unsettle us, like making us change in a little side room off of the home dressing room. I feel these tactics brought the home side closer together however and with Eugene as captain we could do no wrong! Well done to Nickh for giving us the freedom to play football not seen around this way for a long time.

Brilliant night again and well done to all involved.

[Robsk II]

WE used tactics to unsettle you? Your team spent half the night rolling around on the bloody floor!

[Minty]

Video?! Wash your mouth out... Still photography only!

And it's worth pointing out that 8.5 frames a second only helps if you know how to frame and focus the shot in the first place! For most shots I'd only usually shoot a burst of 3 or 4 shots max.

[Foxy]

It was, indeed, a bloody good night. Good game of footy with some great lads. It really is something everyone should try to do once.

Thanks as ever to Steve for doing the organising.

[Pancake]

Looks like shocking defending from Sebastian Vettel for the home team second.

Seeing as I did myself go down once under a very heavy challenge, I wouldn't like to comment on that

[Robsk II]

I heard someone on your side kicked one of us, then went down screaming!

[Durleyfos]

"Breathe in lads, that little blonde hottie is coming down the wing this way.... no, hold on it's a geezer. Guts out."

[bpsaint]

Caption competition?

The leadership qualities of winning captain Influenced were so impressive those on the sidelines felt obliged to salute him too.

[RonManager]

Caption competition?

The officers on the bridge join in a solemn salute as RMS St.Marys cracks in two along the half way line and sinks slowly into the Itchen.

Britains got talent auditions find a new act. Syncyronised saluting with a Morris dancer

Managers and officials pay their respects to Steve Grant's coffin after he was viciously hacked down in the first 5 minutes.

[benjii]

at managers coming suited.

[Spades]

Looks like shocking defending from Sebastian Vettel for the home team second.

No level of defending can hold back a finish as accurate at that!!! :P

[ooohTerryHurlock]

Was lovely to meet your little gang OTH, made the game so enjoyable trying to outsing a 3 year old.

Don't tell StDonkey but your little girl asked me who the lady was in the running up and down. When I told her that it was a man, she said 'I would like long hair like him' sucha sweetie, you should bne proud mate.

[Deano6]

Yeah - had an awesome evening out there, and very pleased with my goal to boot. Cheers Granty!

And yet again, your valiant reporters on the Pompey Takeover Thread scan the distance for the first signs of yet another tall storrie from the wrong end of the M27.

Bloody SWAT team are already outside the house. I may be gone some time. Damn

[Crab Lungs]

It was great to see some old faces that I hadn't seen in a while and also put names to faces to those whom I've never met - and I was just a spectator!

[Tamesaint]

Any team photos or descriptions of who is who???
