DT Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 Just saw that. Legend. No wonder he's been going running and eating soup

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 Just saw that. Legend. No wonder he's been going running and eating soup Running!!!! Some posters do post some rubbish;)
scotty Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 So he hasn't given up hope of an England call-up, then?
Andre Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 Hmm... very interesting indeed. Good luck to him and his club, I guess.

the saints god Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 as a fellow guernseyman my brother and i laughed quite a lot at this article, but tbh i don't see him getting in the team ahead of Ross Allen as his scoring record for the past two seasons has been unworldly, we're top of the league and have 17 games to play in the next month and we almost got the FA Vase final which is held at wembly last week, however we didn't make it but if we did our whole island would just about fill over half of wembly.
pangy Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 We are not of the league but if we win our games in hand we could be,he has been signed on for most of the season like someone said,not sure why this has appeared now he will never get a game I assume its all a PR stunt
the saints god Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 my bad we are 4th in the league 17 points adrift of the top spot but with 10 games in hand.
pangy Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 And currently losing 2-1 as we speak,we played Friday,today and are playing tomorrow,as fit as these guys are that is a lot of games to play in a month. Maybe MLT will get a game lol
supersonic Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 Lost 2-1 tonight, can still drop 3 points from Games-in-hand to still be top of the league, hopefully Egham drop some more points. Players looked, understandably, knackered tonight. Tomorrow will be interesting. MLT would be good for set pieces
Hatch Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 we're top of the league my bad we are 4th in the league 17 points adrift of the top spot but with 10 games in hand. well, that's nearly the same I guess.
georgeweahscousin Posted 7 April, 2013 Posted 7 April, 2013 Any chance of him playing in the Island games?
pangy Posted 7 April, 2013 Posted 7 April, 2013 No chance of him playing at all,he would be blowing out of his arse !! Like I said its got to be a PR stunt for attention or something similar
Fan The Flames Posted 7 April, 2013 Posted 7 April, 2013 Do Guernsey play in the Combined Counties League, it seems like a strange choice to me.

They do play in the Combined Counties League, yes. Not a strange choice at all, he's from Guernsey, his brother, Mark, is the Secretary and Matt himself is the President. Also, he's been training for a half-marathon, so is probably fitter than he's even been, not that he's going to be doing much running when he plays

You would have thought that the Wessex or Western leagues would have been the league to play in. Whats the story.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 7 April, 2013 Posted 7 April, 2013 my bad we are 4th in the league 17 points adrift of the top spot but with 10 games in hand. Would you prefer 17 points or 10 games?

You would have thought that the Wessex or Western leagues would have been the league to play in. Whats the story. it's to do with travel, as they obviously have to fly to each away game, the CCL teams are generally situated closer to Gatwick/Heathrow than other leagues
the saints god Posted 7 April, 2013 Posted 7 April, 2013 Would you prefer 17 points or 10 games? i do prefer the 10 games in hand, because they are all winnable, it's just the fact they are all being played in the space of a month, and it is taking its toll on the guys already especially after 3 games in 3 days.

You would have thought that the Wessex or Western leagues would have been the league to play in. Whats the story. This is relate to travel logistics; For Guernsey to play in the English pyramid they needed to have a port of entry to England that had good enough travel services to allow them to travel to and from games and their opponents to have suitable travel arrangements to the Island for games. The best port of entry for this purpose was Gatwick Airport; they started at Step 6 of the Non-league pyramid and Combined Counties Division One was chosen as best placed for access to Gatwick for its clubs (the other prime option would have been Sussex County League Division Two at Step 6). They were promoted to the Combined Counties Premier Division at Step 5 which covers a similar geographical footprint and if promoted this season with no change to the port of entry they will almost certainly be placed in Isthmain (Ryman) League Division One South at Step 4 by the FA National League System committee over the summer.
