[Tombstone Blues]

Where on earth has Harry Phillips got to?

 

[Mad Cyril]

Anyone attending?

Our next manager...

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Apparently 1-0 down already

Fagan out!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Rush hits the crossbar with a header from an Egbri cross but it's still 1-0 to Scunny at HT.

Hopefully we can pull it back second half.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Worrying news as Emile Acquah has apparently been stretchered off. It sounds serious.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

It's never anything else when a Southend player picks up an injury.

I hope it is less serious than it sound for Emile.

 

[SheldonW65]

Head injury apparently, over 10 mins of treatment

 

[SheldonW65]

1-1 Rush

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Minimum of 14 minutes injury time.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

All Southend at the moment.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Minimum of 14 minutes injury time.

Do you think when the official put that up he had to also spell out (Fourteen) vidiprinter style?

Phillips OUT!

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Typical of the way things are going. Southend the better team, but didn't convert their chances.

Where on earth has Harry Phillips got to?

Wasn’t this guy allowed to leave and go to another club at the end of last season ?

No, we activated a clause in his contract to keep him. He played in a couple of the pre-seasons as well.
