Hull City U21s/U18s 25/26

Thanks Toast, a great summary of the reality of the situation. I'm banking on his genetics!

I've been in a similar situation to you way "back in the day" and as you say, there is only so much you can do, and it's obvious very quickly when high quality players, however old and fat they may now be, are on the pitch.

I also, when not so young, in my mid 30s but still playing, played 30 of a 30/30/30 pre-season exhibition match against the then MLS Champs, DC United who were in training camp where I live. Honestly like chasing 11 Usain Bolts around the pitch with speed, touch, positioning and thinking ahead. I was totally utterly ****ed after that 30!

 

That in his hand is a canula Fred, you don't have to go under to have one of those in. They put 'em in if you need hydrating, blood transfusions, morphine and any other drugs. Them ****ers have left me with bruises all over my arms and hands whenever i've been in hospital. Luckily they don't hurt going in or coming out.

 

They can hurt sometimes, not long back the guy (nurse doctor trainee??) made the critical mistake of looking and saying oh my what good veins you have. As he approached me for the third attempt he was shaking like a leaf, I suggested he take a break and come back later or find someone else to do it.

 

Indeed they do bloody hurt!

 

The only time I can remember one hurting was when a Doctor was putting one in or trying his best too. It was four in the morning time, I was knackered, i'm pretty sure he was knackered and by the next day you couldn't see the back of my left hand for a black bruise, it was frigging huge and hurt like a twat.

 

Did The Hull Doily Mail take that picture ?

 

Just watched the highlights of the Crewe game, some good goals and movement going forward. It looked from the highlights them scoring first was against the run of play, was that the case?

 

Very much the case. Could have been 10-0 by then. Luckily City came straight back and scored.

 

When do City under 23's/21's play away v Beverley Town in the ER County Cup(?) Heard its on a Tuesday maybe Wednesday night in November and City's first team are playing the same night, is this true and does anyone know?

 

Just had a look on the official fixtures but only League game on there.

 

When is that one and does it clash with a City home or away game? Could have sworn the person who told me said it was a cup game?

 

Bloke who runs my pub trivia's son is in goal for Hudd, coming back from injury. He mentioned tonight that he was playing City, but I assumed it was a behind closed doors game. Will be interesting to see how he gets on. Was decent in goal for the senior side last season but has fallen down the pecking order with his injury.

 

No sign of Brandon Williams for the U21s.

No sign of him in the First Team squad.


Any sign of him anywhere?



Edit: ****ing idiot Ernie, he's in the team at right back.

 

Was tempted to go along today, but unfortunately not able in the end.
Should be interesting to see how Williams gets on this time.
And wondering if 'Trialist' is one of those 2 from last week or another one.
Hopefully someone can report back on here?
