    Pre-Match Thread Blues v Dagenham (JPT)

    If I were you I'd get yourself along tomorrow evening as it promises to be a real cracker! Why am I so sure? Well I'm not going, that's why! It's not that I just can't go - there's usually at least one game per season which for various family/work reasons I can't attend. No, tomorrow night...

    Tika taka footy for kids

    Hi, i run a team of eight-year olds in a 7-a-side league. After watching years of Spanish style football take over the world nationally and Barcelona at club level, i have decided i want to teach my kids this style. For the past 4 months we have worked on simple passing and control, our first...

    Strikers..

    A couple of weeks ago we were all very aware that a goalkeeper and CM player with bite..were required. We still need to bolster the midfield. There were few alarm bells around defensive or attacking options. On paper we look okay both at the back and upfront. However, there seems an issue about...

    The Supreme Confidence..

    Not needing an experienced, first choice keeper ..with just three days until our first competitive match. From hoofball to all-out attack with no keeper required. I think the plan is to beat Posh 9-8.

    Direct football - the associated benefits

    Reading Jack Sampsons interview in todays Echo, it's clear he only came to us because of our league position. I quote - "I had a few different options and a few clubs came in for me but one look at the league table will tell you why I chose to come here." Now I know that many have moaned about...

    Friendly Thread

    With the SZ League being probably more competitive than the actual league this season I thought the friendlies deserved their own thread. This is also because I wanted to call BB a complete tool :smile:

    Charity Calendar

    I'm producing a charity football calendar the charity Vitalise, I have had a few quotes of around 240 pounds for 100 A4 calendars. Just thought I'd check if anybody on here has any information of any companies that can offer a competitive price, any help is much appreciated. Thanks

    Sturrock the tactical genius

    I turned up at Underhill last nite with a nervous gut feeling. Why, well because ive supported Blues for 32 years and we have turned up at the likes of Barnet before expecting to win and failed to deliver. In saying that i always felt that the three points would be ours. Much like last season...
  14. Ref Watch ..... JPT Dagenham away

    On Tuesday evening we have ex-Select Group referee, Keith Stroud from Gillingham in Dorset. In his eighth season as a League referee he has risen through the ranks and was employed as a PGMO official for 2 years, although he was given no Premiership matches for the second year whilst they sorted...

    Question Never played

    Who out of the 92 clubs have we never played in competitive play? AFC Wimbledon Any others?
  16. Ref Watch .... Orient League Cup

    Tonight's match official is due to be Fred Graham from Orsett. Fred got onto the League list in 2004/5 but was summarily removed after just one season, rather harshly in my opinion. However he stuck at it and fully deserved his reinstatement and has now been back for four full seasons. Has...

    One year on...

    Hard to believe that just one year ago today, the overwhelming majority of the squad and management team had literally just walked through the door. We faced the coming season with just 3 senior players from the previous campaign and a transfer embargo threatening to scupper any deals for new...

    Strategy

    I have 12.9m in the bank and 2 masterful bowlers, 2 masterful bats, 1 exquisite bat with exceptional keeping...and that's it, trainees aside. I cannot decide whether to spend the money, or sell the rest of the high-wage players and relegate in everything for the season. I wanted to buy young on...

    FC - Week 5

    Gatley v ShrimperZone CC We're on a ghastly mid season run, much like last year. 6 defeats in our last 8 competitive games. One of those two wins was against Gatley though and if we can see off their NZ all rounder we should have a chance of getting a result. Fitness isn't great after a FI...

    West Indies v Pakistan

    Really interesting series this as they should be two evenly matched (ie flawed) sides, but both are teams who look as if they finally may be ready to start making some progress now the WIndies have dropped that waster Gayle and Pakistan have purged most of the match-fixers. I think Pakistan may...
