RPL Athletic Dressing Room

[hereticboy]

My place is front of goal, sorry

WOOSH?

[Poppalarge]

Sorry about that tackle guys, I was terrible in the 2nd match. Thought I had a blinder in the 1st game mind.

That being said, the fact we could have got something from both games if we were a little more clinical means its not all doom and gloom. If we had a full-strength team tonight I reckon we would have got at least three points.

My place is front of goal, sorry

In front of goal waiting on the edge of the area for the penalty you conceded to be taken

[SaintM]

Just waiting on Scratchy and Outsider to gimmie their MotM votes and I can reveal the chief chump

Manager's comments

Although the results didn't go our way, I'm happy that to a man we did what we could. The absences (and dropouts) meant we had to play in areas we were not expecting to, but nobody gave less than 100% for the team. We were always in the games and with a bit sharper finishing I think we'd of been challenging for the points. If you guys put in the same effort week on week, we'll be climbing that table before you know it!

Highest rated player

sith - Avg rating: 7.25

Despite an ill-judged block attempt that gave away a penalty, sith was a rock the team could rely on.

Player's Man of the Match

A solid performance that helped keep the game open.

TheOutsider

Our only goalscorer of the night, and also took on the joint-any duties at short notice.

[pompey88]

I can never do practice on Tuesday at 10pm sorry Mike. I'll be about for the games this week though.

[TheOutsider]

Cheers for the MOTM votes and sorry I didn't get my votes in. My PC died last week, only just got it running again last night.

No highlights either. Every cloud...

[SaintM]

I'll be about for the games this week though.

Cool. To bastardise an old FIFA commentary phrase: We need someone who can hit a barn door with a banjo up front.

[sith]

I'm working Tuesday night so no practice for me either.

I can be on early on Thursday however.

[Pants McSkill]

Anyone around on Wednesday at ten for some practice games vs Town?

[SaintM]

I'll be GTA'ing until 10:30ish.

I can't get the buggers to turn up for official practice, so dunno if anyone else will be around

[mackenie]

Pants you know wed night is rovers praccy time, and as its only half an hour after your lads maybe you should relent to us

[SaintM]

Still on for 10pm guys, whoever can make it

I guess that's just Scratchy then...

[sith]

Is Razzle going to be stuck in Vegas then?

Lucky bastard!

[SaintM]

Me and scratch came to the conclusion that the Icelandic Volcano is gonna cost us any points this season.

Razzle stuck abroad. TMB possible stuck abroad. Vince's XBox stuck abroad.

erm... that's about it.

[Mercury]

I am back now. Should be able to make practice tonight and will definitely be around for the match tomorrow night.

Praccy was scheduled for last night

[hereticboy]

Should be around tomorrow! Hopefully won't be at CB.

Oh.

[SaintM]

If you're gonna give a sad face every week, I'll just have to turn my screen upside down.

Depends on whether scratch can make it. You may need to do a stint at RB.
