Minsk Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 Ronayne Marsh-Brown was a trialist in today's 'behind closed doors' friendly against Glen Hoddle's team of 18/19 year old academy rejects. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=11354 Apparently he played the first half at RB and the 2nd half at LB. He is 24 years old and has played in non-league football (for about 8 teams) and has had a spell in the Dutch 2nd division. He signed a one year pro contract with Dorchester in July 2008 but walked out on them this month (on a day they had a match in which he was due to play!) http://www.dorchestertownfc.co.uk/squad/200809/benjamin_marsh_brown_ronayne.shtml Anyone know any more about him???????????
StuRomseySaint Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 LMFAO Oh how the mighty Saints have fallen.
Andy_Porter Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 My god. I'm going to give them a ring and see if I can get a game.
Barney Trubble Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 He sounds very ordinary and a seems bit of a ****. Therefore, he will fit in very well. I suggest we offer him a three year contract and play him as a striker.
Micky Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 Get in quick, before Arsene Wenger see's him...!
Um Bongo Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 I've applied for RB as well. But i'm not Ronayne Marsh-Brown. I've scored 2 goals in 3 years, and have never been sent off. I'm young, know how to pass a football, so qualify for the 1st team. Hooray.
Big Ron fan Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 So if we sign him, we could put out a team before the end of the season that includes players who, before joining this season, played for... - Millwall reserves - Dorchester Town - Some non-league outfit twice (the Hungarian guy...is it Zoltan?) And some of you were glad Rupert came back!!
brmbrm Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 Ronayne Marsh-Brown .............Dutch ............. Sign him up quick!!!! Gullitt!!!!!!! Cruyff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were Dutch too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (This, by the way, is Lowe's theory of conjunction: if it looks like its Dutch and it smells like its Dutch then its TOTAL FOOTBALL BABY OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The Godfather Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 I play 5-a-side several times a week, I might get a game. The problem being at 34 I'm to old to play for Saints these days....
Minsk Posted 12 February, 2009 Author Posted 12 February, 2009 In other news, I think I've got a leaky roof. And your point is?????????????????????????????? I was genuinely asking if anyone had ever heard of this guy before and if they knew any more about him. But, as you are here, what are your honest thoughts about us (possibly) signing a LB/RB/LM (judging by the Dorchester reports it would appear he left footed) who at 24 has failed to settle in 8 non-league teams a Dutch 2nd div team. I honestly do not know but, he seems a bit like a poor man's Darren Kenton to me. However, as always with any Saints player, if he signs for us I hope he will prove to be the best player ever to wear the red and white stripes!
Saint_clark Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 Michael Poke played. I was sure he had signed a year extension, obviously he had.
StuRomseySaint Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 I play 5-a-side several times a week, I might get a game. The problem being at 34 I'm to old to play for Saints these days.... F*ck, I was going to post something similar. Here is my record... 1988-1991 - Michelmarsh & Timsbury U10's, 11's & 12's ( Players Player of the Year 1990 ) 1992-1993 - Whitbread Boys U13's & 14's 1994 - Testwood United U15's 1995 - AFC Totton U16's ( well, half a season, we were thrown out of the league ) 1996 - A few games for North Baddesley Sport 1997 - 2002 - A few games for 1PWRR against other regiments. Haven't done much since and I am fat now, I have been thinking about starting up a 5-side team but in all honesty, I am too unfit and like beer too much to care. Can someone pass on my details to Mr Wotte. I am free for a trial on Sunday or next Wednesday.

Do we need to know anymore, surely that's enough isn't it? Good to see that all the money spent on scw wasn't wasted, we're employing the Dutch coach he wanted, we're using the youth like he wanted, we are actually paying Hoddle and Clifford to bring thier academy's to help us train, couldn't afford pearson though, good call Rupert!
St. Jason Posted 12 February, 2009 Posted 12 February, 2009 In other news, I think I've got a leaky roof. I'm a roofer, who'd of ever thought I'd pick up business here, **** team, **** management, great job centre!

Come on, 24 8 non-league teams but hay he'll be cheap so right up Lowes street!

Sorry,but I'm lost as to what Clifford's link to this is.Do we play a game against his Guiseley* Samba XI from time to time ? *or wherever it is in Yorkshire Perhaps we should have a behind the scenes friendly against Barnstonthwaite as a real test.

I know one of Saints scouts and he was telling me how Saints actually employ the Brazilian academy for extra training sessions, he couldn't believe it, nor can I, doesn't say much for our coaching set up does it!
Minsk Posted 12 February, 2009 Author Posted 12 February, 2009 But he wont be though Minsk will he. Come on, 24 8 non-league teams but hay he'll be cheap so right up Lowes street! Shhhhh!!!!
Nineteen Canteen Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 But he wont be though Minsk will he. Come on, 24 8 non-league teams but hay he'll be cheap so right up Lowes street! Don't know why we are passing judgement just yet as lets face it our full back poistions haven't exactly been our strength in recent seasons. Ian Wright didn't sign for Palace until he was almost 22 and was playing Sunday League football in SE London at the time. Interesting to note two of the managers who have signed Marsh-Brown Martin Jol was manager of the dutch club back in 2004 and Paul Ince signed him for Macclesfield. the number of clubs could indicate he has an attitude problem as oppose to a lack of ability. Bit of grit and aggression maybe what is required.
scott_saints Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Well I have played for: Wyvern from the age group "nips" right through to under 14s Earls from under 15s I was 18 (Highlights include a 6 a side tournament win and also a runner up) I then got accepted to play for Totton but due to other commitments (beer) I declined. One year with Fair Oak My goal record averages 1 goal every 5 years. I also had a two year stint of proffesional coaching. I played left back but I'd be willing to convert to the right hand side for the benefit of the team. Am I in??
Scummer Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 the number of clubs could indicate he has an attitude problem as oppose to a lack of ability. And of course, our record when it comes to correcting players' bad attitudes is fantastic isn't it.
bungle Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Saw him play for Dorchester against Bath City on New Years Day. Don't recall him making a massive impression, other than that the two Bath City wingers were probably the two best players on the park.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Saw him play for Dorchester against Bath City on New Years Day. Don't recall him making a massive impression, other than that the two Bath City wingers were probably the two best players on the park. Sign 'em Danno...
belgrave Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 I think I actually nearly agree with nineteen canteen here. You never know. The gap between top end non-league and championship mediocre is not that great these days (as we will be getting closer to finding out next year btw)
Sheff Saint Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 I have no problem with signing a non league player. Per se. But one that has had so many clubs, and at the age this one is at, no chance he'll be any good. That sound is the noise of a barrel being scraped.
the saint in winchester Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 For me the telling phrase in the Dorchester website link was "comfortable on the left side of the pitch". We don't need another left sided player. Doesn't anyone kick with their right foot these days?
trousers Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 I see this 'behind closed doors' game wasn't switched to St Mary's this time around then. No more investors to show around I guess.....?
trousers Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 p.s. and once again, this highlights the 'secrecy' surrounding the Ujpest game.... Why does this one get an OS write-up when the Ujpest one didn't? Could simply be journalistic inconsistency of course.
Wilko Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 What qualifies a person to be eligible for a trial these days? It seems we hand them out willy-nilly to any old Tom, **** or Harry.
Saint2Hotty Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Any ideas who Dunford is? Played the second half.
Tac-tics Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Any ideas who Dunford is? Played the second half. Tom. Scholar
Big Bad Bob Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 For me the telling phrase in the Dorchester website link was "comfortable on the left side of the pitch". We don't need another left sided player. Doesn't anyone kick with their right foot these days? I'm mainly right footed although I can play well with my left peg! I always used to play left-back because no-one else wanted to play there. I got used to it and found it difficult to re-adjust back to my natural side.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 I have played against him, he is shiiite Big Bad Bob or Ronayne Marsh-Brown?
Dorch Saint Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Well personally i know this player quite well as i am a season ticket holder at Dorchester town FC. Put it this way we could do worse but i am not so sure he is upto championship standard either. We have scouted him over the last 3 games he played for Dorchester so must see something in him.

And to think not so long ago we used to have scouts at premiership clubs :sad:
Micky Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 I have played against him, he is shiiite Yes, but are you any good though....???
corsacar saint Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Perhaps we are going for an entire non league back four.[ I hope this is not true, because you could not make it up if you wanted to].
NickG Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 Perhaps we are going for an entire non league back four.[ I hope this is not true, because you could not make it up if you wanted to]. LB played in top div in Germany, France and Scotland, 14 caps, CB from Dutch top division CB previous £4m player, hundreds of English prem apps RB 11 U19 apps, 9 U21 for Wales, still 20
hypochondriac Posted 13 February, 2009 Posted 13 February, 2009 LB played in top div in Germany, France and Scotland, 14 caps, CB from Dutch top division CB previous £4m player, hundreds of English prem apps RB 11 U19 apps, 9 U21 for Wales, still 20 Not a RB.

Lets not beat around the bush here, he played for Dorchester therefore..........he sucks.
J Bizzle Posted 14 February, 2009 Posted 14 February, 2009 Yes, but are you any good though....??? wasnt bad, was playing for salisbury at the time, does that qualify me for a trial? I'm versatile, can play AMC, AMRL, CM, DM, RB and occasionally used as a CF. Played most of my games in CM or AMC.
SNSUN Posted 14 February, 2009 Posted 14 February, 2009 Have we hit rock bottom yet No. Which is the really sad thing. We're nowhere near rock bottom yet. It's going to be a long ride.
oxfordshire_saint Posted 14 February, 2009 Posted 14 February, 2009 I played U18 Youth Level for Farnborough Town and Woking, non-league for Alton Town and AFC Wallingford, plus I saw a Dutch Eredivisie roundup on Eurosport once. Surely that qualifies me for a 3 year deal?
VectisSaint Posted 14 February, 2009 Posted 14 February, 2009 Any ideas who Dunford is? Played the second half. Tom Dunford. Comes from Wootton on the Isle of Wight, came through the ranks at Cowes. Has just signed a 2 year contract. There was a piece about him in the IW County Press last week: http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/tom-signs-for-saints-24469.aspx Hope he does well, being from my home village
Dorch Saint Posted 14 February, 2009 Posted 14 February, 2009 Were you at the game on New Years Day vs Bath? I certainly was at game.We got run rings round by Bath marked are best player out of game. I have a season ticket at St Marys to.I never miss a home saints game.
