You see them Eurofighters flying backwards and forwards over the town this afternoon ? Mouldy reckons their striker is faster than them. Think he got 5 tonight.

He scored 6. Amazingly managed to miss an open goal too.

We've done well considering we're down to the bare bones

No doubt Cooper will be after him.

We've already had one of our lads signed by Bishop Auckland, and we've got a 16 year old that got bags of potential.

That player who signed for bishop Auckland called Harrison isn't he? Also if I've been told right the 16 year old you mentioned is a new signing who plays up front? If so believe if information passed on is correct, that he had a spell at pools

All of this info passed on by your keeper, who happens to be my brother

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 6:22 am

Correct Chunky. Good keeper is Danny

Bet you can't wait to play Rovers in the Cup MisterB?

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 8:16 am

Yeah, get the small fry out of the way first before we can play the decent teams in the later rounds!! bbolt

At least you'll get a game on a decent pitch. We're at the rec this weekend are they any better up that way?

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 8:22 am

No...

Our pitch last night was a disgrace, the grass was 4 inches long in some parts

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 8:24 am

Last nights pitch was pretty shite for us as well.

Andy Dibbles Gloves · **Joined:** Tue Dec 11, 2012 3:32 pm **Posts:** 6817

watched a match last nights at Dodds field. Thought that pitch was shite as well.

Has the council had its mowers stolen?

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

i hate to moan non stop but its hard not too with the state of the pitches at the moment, even if the grass was cut, the dead grass is left on top thus creating a new dead grass related problem.

And greyfields hasnt had warm water in the showers in month.

What are we actually paying our fees for? For the council to not cut pitches, and just mind our stuff for an hour.

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

I believe kitch plays for them too. Got a canny team the pot house.

Snakeyes · **Joined:** Sun Oct 30, 2011 3:27 am **Posts:** 225

Roy Allen signed for them as well, he should get a bagful looking at scores from the first few games.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 10:16 am

Pot house is our next game on the 1st September, we'll have a full team back by then including new signing Dylan Russell who banged in 30+ goals 2 seasons ago in Div 2.

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

i was about to ask if he was signing, good player, scores goals.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 10:46 am

I know I can't really talk after our last 2 games.. but I've noticed Richies have concede 31 goals in 4 games so far!

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

They are a young team n probably gunna be this years raglan.

We've scored 22 in 3 games which I'm happy about.

Snakeyes · **Joined:** Sun Oct 30, 2011 3:27 am **Posts:** 225

Havent Richies got Mickey Fisher playing for them?

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 11:08 am

I was trying to sign Micky's son in pre-season but Micky turned up to one of our training sessions instead!

kitch1987 · **Joined:** Mon Sep 08, 2008 6:23 pm **Posts:** 272

To whip the ball in with such pace and precision as I did on that grass took unbelievable technical ability.

kitch1987 · **Joined:** Mon Sep 08, 2008 6:23 pm **Posts:** 272

Should be an interesting season on division 2 I imagine a few teams in the league fancy themselves for the title. A few good teams in the league.

Snakeyes · **Joined:** Sun Oct 30, 2011 3:27 am **Posts:** 225

It'll certainly be a high scoring division, already seen a 7-7 and 11- 8 this season on pitch next to us, I'm guessing both games involved Yupeb team as think its Rafa on there. Suggests the defending may need a bit of work.

Andy Dibbles Gloves · **Joined:** Tue Dec 11, 2012 3:32 pm **Posts:** 6817

big difference to the division above then.

I watched a 0-0 game last night.

the 7-7 was us the 11-8 was joe macs.

the 7-7 was our first game n we had about 7 teenagers making their debut, since then i've moved to centre back, we got a clean sheet last night n conceded 2 the week before, i'm not saying i've made the difference... but i have.

our main keeper returns this weekend and a few others from holiday so we'll only get stronger

as kitch says, very open league this year i reckon

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Aug 21, 2013 12:16 pm

We are going to be getting good players back within a few weeks and should have a strong squad. Still hoping to get something out of this season. It's a make or break season for us.

Aye I thought Andy wasn't usually a keeper. Not as if we came close to testing him last night like.

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

he didnt have a shot to save which i was pleased about, we've just asked for volunteers in goal until our keepers back.

martin83 · **Joined:** Tue Jan 01, 2008 8:47 pm **Posts:** 570

Toughest league to get out unless you come in with prem players who couldn't stand losing a few the season or two before!

Thankfully the grass was cut on greys tonight... They've left the old grass on to prove it

Saw that tonight. You need it to get windy now, vey windy.

How the fook are hey going to paint the lines back on?

As son as its windy the lines will get blown away as well.

Stupid gits

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Aug 28, 2013 8:55 pm

Anyone know which pitch Seaton 2 is?

We got a bye in the county cup and play the Pot house in the league but looks like all rec/gray pitches have been taken so we've been shot over Seaton.

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

The one where you get changed in the porta cabin things

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Aug 28, 2013 9:02 pm

Ah yeah, I remember now..

Should have a full strength squad on Sunday inc new lad Dylan Russell so i'm going for a 14-14 draw...

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

I predict he'll be scrapping after 5 minutes

mr elkots · **Posted:** Sun Sep 01, 2013 6:31 pm

So how did everyone get on? We itb got beat 4 1. Fair reflection really not enough effort from us cant turn up thinking your going to win games before a ball is kicked rakxe

martin83 · **Joined:** Tue Jan 01, 2008 8:47 pm **Posts:** 570

Lost 3-1 up at blackball.

Only team in the town to have 3 keepers registered and not one available today!

Chrissy Stevo · **Posted:** Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:51 pm

We lost 6-2 I think it was. Fell apart after 60 mins as per usual.

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

Lost 5-3 on penalties on the county cup against the George n dragon over in yarm.

Good battling display, enjoyed it. Feeling it now after 120 minutes like.

Snakeyes · **Joined:** Sun Oct 30, 2011 3:27 am **Posts:** 225

We beat Tech 4 - 1.
Decent result against the Dragon, Yubep, played a couple of friendlies the last few seasons against them and they are a decent side. Plus they had someone asking on non league zone what Rafa are like and they were told as long as they werent shit they'd torture you. Just a shame you didnt finish the job and prove them wrong.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Sep 04, 2013 1:01 pm

We drew a team in Sunderland in the next round of the county cup so nice trip away... Looking at fixtures though, we have 3 home games in September which is a nightmare in terms of club income! Right before the pitch fees are due as well!

Yep same here, could have really done with some more away games and not a home draw in the CC.

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

Half decent 2 weeks ago, we managed to grab a cool 12 goals on it.

Pearl Bar vs ITB in the cup!

Sadly i'm away that game, i'll be round a Pool in sun but i'd definitely rather be at Grays... bbolt

Aye same bunch of lads really. Few new faces since we've gone up.

Looking forward to it, the lad for George and dragon was full of praise for your lads last Sunday.

We're sporting a fetching green tops and black shorts number these days.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Thu Sep 05, 2013 8:38 pm

Where's Aido off to? I've known him for years and he always seemed to be at Albion..
