  1. Agree with all of that Andy, he will be missed,but thanks for the good times Rickie, and good luck.
  2. Yes you are right Dave,he tried to get me to go over and play for them.Lovely bloke.RIP Pat.
  3. Turkish, i sort of agree with you, but there is a fine line.I don't need to tell you that different people react differently" to bawlings out".Some of the best man managers know their players inside-out and know who can take a verbal bashing and get a positive reaction from them, and the players who need a little TLC, with an arm around the shoulder. I can only speak of my own experience, but i was just 15, still at school and playing for Saints Youth at Brentford in the early 70's in an evening game under the lights.This was my first start and i was nervous.The first half passed off quickly and i came off the pitch reasonably happy with my contribution to a half-time lead.As i sat down to sip my tea, the coach,( i won't mention names as he is still with us, bless him), barked at me "Is that effing ball hot or something, put your effing foot on it, ffs". I was shocked and embaresed and it completely ruined the whole experience for me.I am sure other players would have handled it better and told him to jog on, but i was a boy thrown into a man's world. I guess in some ways he did me a favour, because, as people who know me will tell you, by the time i finished playing football and in my day to day life i was no shrinking violet, but i never forgot that experience and knew how to handle the different characters that you come across in life and remembered not everyone needs a bollicking.
  4. 55, Weston/woolston/ Sholing man. First home game around 1964/5 lost 1 nil to Bury. First away game at Nottarf, a convincing 5-2 win i believe in 1966. Sit in the Itchen stand currently with the Prysmian missive.
  5. Yes, and i scored a screamer from 35 yards at Ninian Park.
  6. The seven dwarfs are down in the mines when there is a cave-in. Snow White runs to the entrance and yells down to them. In the distance a voice shouts out "Arsenal" are good enough to win the European Cup." Snow White says "Well at least Dopey's alive!"
  7. LOL on your way back from your "dogging" evening hey Dave.
  8. RIP Glen, a great character who will be greatly missed.....now on the terraces in the sky.
  9. Good account of the game Dave.Somehow at half-time they managed to get Lee to understand that he had to start his runs in behind the defence from a slightly wider position coming in.First half he made a lot of runs toward the corner flags chasing hopeful balls.It is so important to play the ball early from the midfield to take advantage of his quick movement, and when Ben Reeves came on he played with his head up.He looks a very good classy player, who spotted the early movement.
  10. Paddy's been arrested for punching his wife, again. The judge asks, "Tell me, Mr. Molloy, why do you keep beating her?" Paddy replies, "I think it's my weight advantage, longer reach and superior footwork."
