Didcot Saint Posted 28 December, 2009 Share Posted 28 December, 2009 (edited) What a totally shambolic football club. I have just spent along with Harwell Saint, my wife and 1700 odd other Saints fans an afternoon of shocking proportions. 1 A Boothroyd. A terrible manager who is a disgrace to football. His teams are crude, cheat, timewaste, ugly and most of the time hoof it up the pitch. The future of english football for sure. Arsene Wenger beware. Even the ballboys wasted time and the pitch had been narrowed and was bobbly as anything to suit his bully boy tatics and prevent good football. 2 The "Stadium" has no atmosphere and is full of idiots who don't sing and turn up and watch that rubbish every week. 3 They have the temerity to charge £5-00 to park in the club car park and then make you sit there for over an hour after the game. In a modern "stadium" that has only been recently built, the traffic was horrendous. 4 Ah i here some of you say, Sour Grapes. Yes for the first 20mins, not good, but due to a completely inept performance from the ref and linesman we may have even won. I will never return to that dump again and will never pay good money to watch that **** served up by Boothroyds teams again.

oxfordshire_saint Posted 28 December, 2009 Share Posted 28 December, 2009 Just back from the game, what a rubbish day out. You can criticise Colchester all you like for their style of play, but they got the win. Yes the ref and linos were p!ss poor and Colchester weren't great, but we were plain awful. Playing long balls up to Ricky and watching him get beaten up all day by two hulking centre-halves wasn't exactly silky football on our part either. I can confirm the shuttle bus service was a shambles, but the club can't really be blamed for that, in theory it works. Given it's the stadium's first season, they'll have teething problems. Boothroyd's own brand of anti-football has them 4th in the league on a budget, fair play, even if it is horrible to watch. It's easy to lash out after the frustration of watching the dross that was served up today, but I think people are over-reacting. If we timewaste when we're winning, we have a laugh about it and mock the opposition for getting the arse about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had obviously been told to slow the game/waste time and to do it right in front of us when emotions were running high, was plain stupid. When are emotions not running high in a football match ? when we are 3 up ? they are 3 up ? Boothroyd does what he needs to do to get a result, to date as he is in a play off position I'm sure his chairman is not too bothered by his lack of gentlemanly conduct and if, IF they get promoted it will have been a great achievement for him and them, it is sour grapes, if we had won few would of cared about the wait, the ball boy, their songs in the first instance, reference would have been made about it at sometime but after a win few care about that sh1te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted 28 December, 2009 Share Posted 28 December, 2009 Two things: Parking: There was plenty of pre-warning about the difficulties getting out of the place. We had to wait about half an hour for a shuttle bus, but it was organised and moving, so no complaints. Also, today's crowd was about 3k more than usual, which was obviously going to be a factor. Traffic flow: There are actually plans for a junction to come off the A12 to the ground, however it's turned out that the ground was completed before the roads have been done. Next time complainers, do your research properly, and it'll make your day much more enjoyable and hassle free. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourne Valley Saint Posted 28 December, 2009 Share Posted 28 December, 2009 What a waste of a day! From Salisbury - train - tube (3 x changes) - bus - train - taxi (pub) - taxi and vice versa (missing out the pub on the way back). Totally inept performance by Saints but it has been coming - Wycombe at home, Leeds away, Exeter home and now today. Yes we beat Wycombe and Exeter but only just and we were far from convincing. Today was gutless until the last 15 minutes when all appeared lost. I don't understand why you come on here slagging off Colchester. Decent ground, decent stewards, decent and noisy fans, free bus back to the station. Decent football side who know better than we do just how to get out of this league. Yes, they wasted time and play acted but who doesn't. If we hadn't reacted to their antics, we would have escaped the two senseless bookings for squaring up to their players and causing a mellee. As for the ball boy incident - you pr**ks must be really proud of yourselves. Our support was disappointing for the numbers who were there but to be fair, the team hardly gave us anything to cheer. All in all a crap day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 28 December, 2009 Share Posted 28 December, 2009 (edited) sorry but wtf are you on? Next i suppose you will be moaning about the fact that when we played Reading at their place their ball boys threw the ball onto the pitch for them quicker than they did for us! Why would I? The point of the game is for the ball to be in play as long as possibe and when play stops for it to resume as quickly as possible. Do we f**k away teams over when we play the multi ball? Do keepers (as Bart did) have to run all the way over to the corner flag to pick a ball up for a goal kick, even though the ball is within spitting distance of a ballboy? It wasn't a one-off but it happened time and time again today - conspicuously and cynically. Yes the ref can add time to the clock as others say but that doesnt make up for the disruption in our play and flow (admittedly there wasn't much of that on show but to defend it is horses**t). In theory, players get booked if they waste time; whereas ballboys can do what they like. Edited 28 December, 2009 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
