BedfordSub - I'm surprised Special1 hasn't been on yet to give his version of events, the report isn't on their Website as yet but no doubt Sport London e Benfica should have got all three points and were robbed blind. Hector thinks that, a bit lik Kentish Town last season, they are more than capable of getting promotion as long as they let their football do the talking and don't get involved in all the silliness like conning Referees and worrying about locked dressing rooms.

[Up here for thinking...]

Rhodes - Please read Bedford subs post again, Bedford were robbed not Benfica.

[Rhodes]

Well obviously I know that but I'm talking about the Sport London e Benfica's spokesman on here who is also their Manager, you may have noticed him in the dugout at McMullen Park on Saturday unless you mistook him for a statue as he never moves a muscle during a game. Incidentally is McMullen still your Coach this season, you were certainly moving in the right direction under him last season.

[Up here for thinking...]

Sorry Rhodes I misunderstood, Didn't notice him to be honest I was more inclined to keep an eye on SLEB strikers! McMullen is still the manager got together a good squad very young but willing to work for each other.

An excellent game by the sounds of it, I think Tring could upset one or two applecarts this season:

good game but to be honest we should have shut up shop after going 2-0 up then i had a good chance to make it 3-0 but was cleared off the line i think if that wen it 3 points were in the bag. But it was such a flukey 93rd min O.G we desearved the 3 points.

Found this report on the Cranfield 2 V 4 Winslow United Game

 

Sat 9th August First League Fixture

 

Cranfield United 2 V 4 Winslow United

 

A superb hat-trick from the returning Chirs Hill and a debutant goal from Ian Pearce. The first goal was a superb free kick from the edge of the area which left the keeper rooted to the spot as the ball found the bottom right hand corner of the goal, the 2nd goal came from a corner taken by andy goates which ryan wiffen won and headed down into the path of Chris Hill who acrobatically volleyed into the top left hand corner of the net things were looking good 2-0 up 35 minutes gone but then came our problem from last season a very soft goal conceded came from a nothing ball which we failed to deal resulted in the right back looping a header over the keeper and ryan wiffen on the line tried 2 clear but just couldnt reach the ball. HT 2-1.

 

Cranfield came out and got the equaliser as we got caught square and a through ball found its way through to stuart reynolds who confinedtly sloted past the goalkeeper. We were looking shaky at this point and it couldve gone either way untill our fitness started to tell and we started to dominate the game again and a mazy run from chris hill which left the defence for dead and he squared a ball to ian pearce who slotted home to put us 3-2 up again at this point cranfield looked dead and buried and another mazy run from chris hill which he took round 3 defenders before firing an unstoppable shot past the goalkeeper FT 4-2

 

Verdict: The first time we have won the opening game of the season since we beat Abbey National by the same score-line in the opening game of the 2002-2003 season.

A great start to the season against a very strong Cranfield United side who will win more than they lose this season and were heard talking about how they were going to win the season this year and i hope they enjoyed there

Surprised Cranfield are paying as they have always been against that. Knowing the committee I bet there were a few disgruntled voices at the result if they are paying! Would help to explain how they have got Stuart Reynolds and others over there.

 

I'm sure Special1 will be on with an opinion sooner or later - like I said they have improved their approach to English football and I expect they will compete all season.

 

As McMullen will expect us too !

[BedfordSub]

Also ...

 

as 'Up here for thinking' said we have a young squad who are willing to work hard for each other. Also signed a new older centre-half this season to keep an eye on ....

 

Looks like a heavy Chesney Hawkes ....

 

[Up here for thinking...]

wooooooooooooooo he won't like that Bedford Sub.

They are not paying at Cranfield - I am not sure how Winslow have been informed of this.

Chris Hill - has re-joined Winslow after a successful spell at Ardley in the Hellenic Premier.

Good player!

Cranfield, a very new team that have been playing well in pre-season but not good on Saturday and beaten by an average Winslow side.

[Rhodes]

That is Chesney Hawkes, he has even got the mole above his upper lip. I think Craig Connell has a lot to do with Cranfield paying their players, he is working hard at Crawley Road but I don't think throwing money at it is the answer.

[young gun]

Cranfield must have a bit of money. They have managed to lure Southmidsfan from Ampthill. I thought he lived in Milton Keynes. Is he a footballing mercenary or what???

[Winslow Fox]

well i was down there to watch and i have to say that before if they were told to keep it quiet the players obviously didn't know as they took great joy in talking to each other and the winslow players about how much they were getting i think thats how they know oh and the brown envelopes being passed round after the game to the players

[SSML Guru]

Hardly a secret, they were approaching players with offers before the season ended!

[blues06]

Hey all, very odd weekend of results!! glad to be back in the fold tonight, any hanwell input as to wat WGC will be like tonight as they caused somewhat of a shock on saturday??

[Hurryup Harry]

Its a Marathon not a sprint,lets see where we all are at Xmas before we judge teams.

[BBFC11]

Hey blues yeah i was shocked by your result.

[Rhodes]

ICU Jimmy - It should be an interesting one at Kings Langley on Saturday who have hit the ground running. I take it you fancy your chances tonight against Ampthill Town.

[blues06]
