    Weve been pretty crap (respect to Thomas Crapper) all season, never playing well enough to threaten the top teams constantly! I was looking forward to a competitive season, winning and losing....and excitement too! I questioned the North American tour and it’s worth. Lots of travelling, busy schedule and playing to sparse uninterested crowds. Madine left behind, Boyle playing like his life depended on it but to no avail! Surely a game against Newport County, Bristol Rovers, Exeter would have been more beneficial to the team...maybe they’ve still got jet lag! Maybe the management wanted a jolly....well they’re not jolly now! Just saying, no offence intended!! :emoticon-0103-cool::emoticon-0103-cool:

    And the prize for the most up-to-date and timely post goes to...……..anyone but Masky!!!!
    But surely it is a bit of a jolly for the squad to get the old juices running....and it spreads the word....marketing it's called.

    Who is Boyle? Terry Boyle last played for us in 1970/80's. Also played for Newport.

    Terry Boyle fking great hair and not a bad centre back for us........ Enjoyed them dark years of lower league football me.

    I agree Masky fk overseas play it where it helps smaller clubs and gives us fans a chance of going to enjoy a weekend away ...... Torquay springs 2mind.....i always enjoyed the merthyr piss up friendly and all. ......but even after saying what I just said a weekend in Amsterdam wouldn't go a miss.

    Ex Llanelli Boys Grammar school as was I (cough cough) and he was my guide on my first day tour of the school, although several seasons older than me I knew him reasonably well through the Carmarthenshire league as his club were our bitter rivals.
    I do recall many times going to the ticket office for freebies he'd promised us Turks on a matchday and being told by the girls in the office to bugger off and pay at the gate like everyone else <doh>
    cart horse he was :emoticon-0130-devil

    Through 7 degrees of separation, I can link myself to Barry John. Well his naked sister... <whistle>
    I know it's the wrong shaped ball, but had to share. <laugh>
