It will rain, good for the grass (and ducks I hear).
Hope this helps.

and Manny?

We really need to start getting more than 10 and having rolling subs IMO

Spot last nights losing captain!!

Problem you three had last night was nobody wanted to defend, Phil was trying to get you and norm to defend, but you both wanted the glory of scoring goals!

Us on the other hand went for the scatter gun approach, fire at will and eventually we'll hit the back of the net half a dozen or 20 odd times.

kev you go for that approach every week

close your eyes and swing your leg and hope for the best

Ive tried manny but no reply,Ill try him again but dont think we'll get him

BillinghamPoolie · **Posted:** Thu Oct 02, 2008 7:59 pm

Definitely 2 from Billingham next week. Matty is still limping about today. I think his spirit is broken at the moment, and will probably give it a miss for at least a week. I agree with TPP, aiming for 12, and a booking in the Headland will probably work better. I can always pick up extras if a journey into the unknown of Gods Country is a problem.

ptbap · **Posted:** Mon Oct 06, 2008 12:55 pm

I'm a definite, Jason has said yes but hasn't checked the work/home/life balance yet, so it's a yes in pencil.

Kev us informed kev

I'll stop all calls this afternoon whilst i await the news

Tax Paying Poolie · **Joined:** Sat Aug 19, 2006 8:18 am **Posts:** 9053

If Jason plays we have 9.

Basically we have the same 10 as last week but with out the youngest Billingham.

We need a replacement....

Forgot about you!

Shows how irrelevant you are.

Yes it would take us to 10, the game rests on Jason's attendance.....

Just rang the sun and the mirror they know nothing about Jason just yet

Im on the edge of my seat

Listen lads, I'm only 75-25 for tomorrow night.

I SHOULD be there, but we are craning a big job in at Wynyard Park and the Wind Speed forecast for the morning is high, which means, like today, we'll still be craning in late evening. Tonight we got finished at 7.50pm. Sadly I'm the only Appointed Person available and I have to be On-Site until the last person leaves. If it goes even reasonably well, I'm there. If it's windy in the morning every lift takes twice as long and I MIGHT not make it.

Hopefully we will have someone who can step in at the last minute should EAD not make it. I'm sure between us we must have ONE mate who'll fancy a game

I still await ptbap's reply about Jason's attendance......

I might be able to get somebody but not at the last minute. Maybe today we try and get one or two more so that worse case is we end up with 11 or 12 and use rolling subs?

I agree but I say give it a couple of hours then see if we need to act.

Still no response from Manny so I guess we can forget about him.
I reckon that come next week we can get Mutley back regular though.

Very enjoyable game with two pretty even sides. I've always said the score is irrelevant in games like this :laugh:

ptbap · **Posted:** Thu Oct 09, 2008 1:54 pm

I tell thee, it makes the game so much better with two decent permanent keepers. Good game, good game

Until we have two I'll have to take your word for that.
