Andy Durman Posted 28 July, 2013 Share Posted 28 July, 2013 The kid on the right covering his ears. LOl. That's my son!!! Ow and I'm sitting to his right. Next to someone who may want to remain anonymous. :-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Durman Posted 28 July, 2013 Share Posted 28 July, 2013 My son was covering his ears because of the noise from Besiktas. Although it could well have been because of our terrible singing. Not the best photo I've ever seen of me & seeing as I was wearing sunglasses this was just before kick off. I know who took the photo which means I know the identity of Trousers. I shall not divulge.

Andy Durman Posted 28 July, 2013 Share Posted 28 July, 2013 Also had a tidy finish disallowed for a marginal offside. Sorry I've watched the replays and it should not have been disallowed as it was Puncheon offside and not Mayuka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints boy in Leeds Posted 28 July, 2013 Share Posted 28 July, 2013 i have backed mayuka since day one (taken some stick for it) but today's wonder goal leaves me vindicated. Felt like that goal was for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItchenRob Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 No "Just back from the game thread" ?! Glad I was out of shot to the far right where some of the London Saints were also sitting. I thought Saints were the better side for most of the game but lacked a cutting edge until Rickie and Mayuka came on. I was also pleased they did not really treat it as a friendly and a credit to both teams for a high tempo match when it was so hot. The security after the game was poor. I could easily have kicked Slaven Bilic up the ar$e when he was posing for photos at the end. Another highlight was getting a "Gracias" from the Saints coach when fielding a ball which Gazza missed during his..... err..... warm up/down at the end. I did think about explaining I play in goal for a 6 a side team in the Brixton Top Corner Championship but decided against it and, being 52, I think my chances of a call up are now slim.

No surprise for me, face to face you will normally find common ground, body language plays a huge part in conversation as opposed to web forums where context is easily lost and opinions become quickly entrenched making confrontation almost inevitable !

Gis Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 Missed the game after getting stuck in traffic in Karlsruhe on the way down. Gave up trying to make the match just past Salzburg, so we just headed for the mountains instead. Austria is an amazing country, Alps is a very luck bunny to live there. Roll on pre season 2014, I'll leave a bit earlier next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
