The Hornet's Nest

it's a harsh game if you're not quite there...

 

It sure is, even at grass roots. I used to play on a saturday but never got picked for the team because my mum did not know the coach or anyone. It was a real old boys club! Even when i scored 2 hat-tricks in 2 games they ignored me. It only gets worse as you grow.

 

i remember my son struggling to get into his sunday league side for similar reasons. it's not easy...watching and maybe getting 10 minutes each week..

 

Its appaling!! It should be done on merit especially at that level!!

 

yep, he did finally get into the first team regularly..and did really well for them..but then gave up for his studies. He now plays 5-a-side and seems to love it

 

well at least he has kept it up. I dont play anymore. Except once in a blue moon with my dad at his local 5-a-side kick about. Its just him and 5-10 mates. Its fun though

 

that's pretty much what it is, though there's always at least 10...and not only Mr H's mates, some younger peeps as well to keep it fast and furious

 

yeah, they dont fight over me for quality, but they use my speed to tire the others out lol.

 

lmao!

 

I used to play in a sunday league team, was great, moved up from division 4 to 1, then all went tits up as everyone found out the manager had an affair with one of the players mums lol, wasn't pleasant lol

we then disbanded

 

Night night all, see you tomorrow Sweet dreams! View attachment 5899

 

Oops! That's a shame for everyone else! Selfish if you ask me!

 

EEEKK. Not the sort of thing which helps the team lol. It would not surprise me if there were those sorts of dealings with the local team.

Night night H, sweet dreams. See you tomorrow.

 

Morning All, Anyone about? No, I didn't think there would be.

Off to Tours today, Mme has seen something on the Internet that we cannot live without. Already my credit card is showing early signs of fear.

At least driving will give the back a rest after my exertions yesterday and there will be another excuse to sample some local dishes.

Have a good day whatever you may be getting up to.

 

If Rinaldi had been good enough and he'd been able to settle down and be reliable, he would have been a success IMO. The fact he didn't and has disappeared means there was something missing IMO.

Good morning folks BTW, I didn't get enough sleep last night as I considered the game last night. Somehow I took the game "quite lightly" - I wasn't too concerned about too much, but I was looking for the largely 2nd string team to give me belief.

This morning I have come to the conclusion that Dyche's budget is just about empty - why else would he be looking at Tom James and Gavin Mahon? He certainly does not have any better options, even the most ardent "trust in Baz" people have got to admit that. 2 weeks after the hive of transfer activity, its all gone quiet.

A little birdie has told me Iain Moody - Watford's "Director of Operations" left the club yesterday to go down the M4 to Cardiff FC. The "hero of the Al Bangura" campaign has flown the nest.

 

Have a good one, and I hope your credit card doesn't take too bad a hammering. I'm on leave for a week, but I'll be painting the toilet today! (Well not actually the toilet, the walls, the ceiling, the skirting board and the door).

 

Morning all 1st coffee break , havent been working back at Sola for some time , just reminding me why I prefer it at our other bases!!! Not much happening!! Home at 3 hopefuly weather picks up so I can attack the back jungle .....again!


On the strength of H's comments feeling happy that we may have found a left back fingers crossed on that one !

A very good day here 16 with a wind of 21kmh.

KA beat FH last night with goals from Davíð Rúnar Bjarnason at 51.min and Daniel Jason Howell on 89.min to grab a win. FH scored first.

 

I arrived at 10.000 points last night because of all your postings so I will put some wine out later. We now have four posters in the first two pages odf rankings.

 

Morning all! Congrats Ak! Thanks for the caramel latte!

Have a good, and relatively inexpensive day M Frenchie!

Thanks Norway, fingers crossed!

Elixir, i wonder if we saw the game last night far more differently than usual! lol

Have fun painting Suffolk!

See you all later...test time again, fingers crossed! View attachment 5902
