OldNick Posted 3 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 3 August, 2009 Dodgy bounce Gaffer I swear. dont worry you're still my number 1 keeper. Im sure when we review the whole match you make up for the odd small mistake. I am looking forward to watch their equaliser to see what exactly happened when a harmless shot seemed to deviate to come back from the post.

OldNick Posted 3 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 3 August, 2009 Haven't watched it yet, but it did get ridiculously dark towards the end of the game, so it might be the lack of light. Yep, the ref was blinded by the great big envelope that Phil slipped him before the now infamous 'substitutegate' incident.

Saints Mad Si Posted 3 August, 2009 Share Posted 3 August, 2009 I have reviewed it again and want Baj Simon and our keeper in for extra training. Baj what was that pathetic attempt of closing Fos down? Yes your white boots di look very pretty and i know you had just spent the longest period of the game on your feet but... Simon what was that sliding tackle that provided the finest sliderule pass for them to take advantage of? and as for throwing the ball into the net???? Thought i'd better give them a chance as they were behind at the time boss honestly!! It was really was one of those moments where my brain could see what I wanted to do but the body wouldnt!!!!

Edmonton Saint Posted 3 August, 2009 Share Posted 3 August, 2009 I like the bit when we equalise and it cuts to the reaction on the bench and Big Phil says " What an inspired substitution" , It certainly was Gaffer...

The left foot one was shocking, as were a couple of others. I blamed the ball in the first place and i shall stick to that - they're too hard!

Griffo Posted 3 August, 2009 Share Posted 3 August, 2009 If there was a game next year, course I'd love to do it but.. It's a kind of one off thing if you get what I mean, something that's special that you only do once. Because I got man of the match and the signed shirt and all that too, I know I wouldn't do any better the second time round, so it would kind'a make the first time not so special if I did it again..

dubai_phil Posted 3 August, 2009 Share Posted 3 August, 2009 Well, from the clips I have seen, Hamster's cunning part in the overall plan to ruin nickh's life worked a treat - that whole don't put the ball into row z routine in the build up to their second goal was perfect. Surprised nobody spotted that we got that tactic from the Lancashire defence of last season.

hamster Posted 3 August, 2009 Share Posted 3 August, 2009 I came away thinking 'that was that' a dream come true (with the DVD and the scars to prove it), a once in a lifetime experience. As Phil told me once "in life young hamster my little talisman, never grow old regretting the things that you did not do". I also got to meet Marc Jackson, which at the time was very exciting and for a short while I was actually ITK (proper ITK too). Now though, every time I hear mention of the match, or look up at the eight foot murial of myself emerging from the tunnel on my bedroom ceiling (a treat for mrs h), I want to do it again. If there is to be a replay would people want to keep the same teams, thus saving a few bob on shirts, or would it be fairer to give the away team more of a fighting chance ny evening up the sides (i.e. let them have our decent keeper) as opposed to letting them have a 2 goal head start?

OldNick Posted 4 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 4 August, 2009 My copy arrived last night and watched it.As is said at the time Influenced was immense and sadly overlooked for man of the match by the less knowledgable (although Griffo did do well) until they watched it again.Notice how Phil mentions the inspired substitution when there was no stop in play Lol. My keeper did some great saves but the 3rd goal was a right co## up from his drop kick out Lol to leaving it to hit the post. I watched the game at x32 and Fos was even slow in that. Overall the football was quite neat and a neutral would see the result as a travesty but that is football. One of the home teams midfielders was very good, he played a lovely pass through for the 2nd? I think it was in the move Fos was talking about. The9's second goal was very well taken, classy. It is amazing how you get attached to your players even on a night like that and I felt sorry for them and sickened for them even now after all they put in on the night.Well done to my team , stars the lot of you. The cameraman thankfully spent most of his time hoping for a big tip and so kept filming Phil. Overall i thought the DVD was very good and did you all proud, there wasnt a bad player on the pitch and all tried to play it on the ground.

I'm gonna have to give up this saving the world by being Green thing and switch my career to some kind of "guru" role... maybe grow a fake Mike Myers beard and wear a Pashmina or something. Life is soooo easy when you adopt the don't give a carp attitude -just do it - according to nickh even the rules of footie no longer apply to you! IF we are allowed to do this again, a couple of ideas though 1) We plan for two games - after all, experience over potential any day of the week! If the old crew can't make it (Fos1's elixir of yoof runs out for example) then the newbies can join in, but with the PR plants on here doing such an awesome job of letting everyone know how magical it was I reckon we'll get Toomer there working up his stamina ready for the big day;) 2) We SHOULD offer to pay a "pitch darkness" insurance so that the lights can be switched on for the second half if needed! (That way nickh would actually to be able to see the ref's signals - it's always difficult for us old 'uns in semi darkness, the eyes just don't work so well) 3) Maybe with the new wave of optimism for some we should sell season tickets for the fans? Oh BTW Hammie - what happened to the You Tube for our equaliser and winner? My fans down here are waiting and bugging me to death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me tell you how it really was: It was an "inspired substitution" that led to me controlling the ball, holding off a dirty, fouling challenge and unleashing a Letissieresque 35 yrd screamer that completely baffled the quality keeper, due to the power and swerve of the shot.

OldNick Posted 4 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 4 August, 2009 On the contrary, neither was a scuff and the FIRST one was terrible defending I did the fast forward the DVD at x32 then stopped it when I saw the chance in the second half when you tried a lob on the on rushing keeper, where was the poise of sipping the ball to one side and sliding it home instead of it going 10ft wide and hitting the hoardings? That bloody smug grin would have been lost off Phils face then,they would have been dead and buried and we would have scored a hat load more. However many more dodgy subs they used would then have been pointless. A hattrick hero as well. A bit more cool head needed in the next game, i expect at least 4 from you then.

You know full darned well that it wasn't the power and the swerve, it was merely the fact that the shot was so slow, the rotation of the earth caused the ball to curl back onto the inside of the post when in reality it was heading for the edge of the penalty area :cool: Oh and Nick - think that magazine you mentioned is called "Do you know who I am" down here.

FFS up til now I thought you were a decent player on the night and then you own up to that powerpuff shot that hit a divot and hit the post.My keeper the 'Cat' had obviously used up his nine lives weeks ago, left it to go for a goal kick by some fluke of nature a mole happened to come up for air and headed it in the direction of our goal and it hit the post and even then it bounced back at an odd angle to your onrushing forward who tried his utmost to miss again.
