1 down, 1 to go

good to see the urchins get thier just deserts at last. <img src="/images/graemlins/excited.gif" alt="" /> Now all we need is the shrews or telford to get thier arses into gear and bury the scumbags <img src="/images/graemlins/bootyshake.gif" alt="" />

That's a shame you have that attitude, really..[if you really have that view!]

I can understand you not wanting HFC to do well, as we're the Upstarts... and you have a far more succesful history than HFC has had so far!

This season's "reverse of fortunes" would blight many a Ricay fan's opinion.

 

But, I tend to take the view that it would be good for Essex football if an Essex club were to win the tournament.

I might be in a majority of one, but I want all the Essex teams to go up into Conference South, including Ricay...but excepting Canvey of course, who are quite rightly facing their long-awaited destiny in the Conf proper.

 

It was good for us to receive "Good Luck" messages and "condolenses" from Canv fans this week and today...and I hope they do the double. That's why I chose to see Canv when our game was called off, and that's why I gave 'em my support during their match.

And some may have noticed that I regularly send "Good luck" to you lot [either on posts or pms to your representatives] before your matches, altho' you think I'm taking the pi55 for some reason [?]

 

I know I'd rather have a team to "support" in the Final, than two I really have no connection with and really couldn't give a to55 about. Makes it more interesting and enjoyable.

Horses for courses!

 

Onwards and Upwards, The Urchins...

Get up there, Ricay!

And Come on The Canv!!! Win the Trophy for Essex!

Whatever happened to local rivalry?

[GazzaBTFC]

Mal,

 

With the exception of yourself, there are plenty of Urchins that would love to see the 'Ricay buried in the lower league next season...same applies to us.

 

Some of us have a respect for what has happened down at the "Stadium Of Dreams" (and at Canvey) but if we all came on and said "well done" or "bad luck", where would be the fun in that?

 

And some of your support gave it so large earlier in the season, it has to be expected.

 

Anyway, bad luck for yesterday, there is always another season, eh, but you'll have to step back in line 'cos I believe the Trophy will have Billericay's name on it next season.

Cheers Gazz. I reckon the Trophy's yours next year too, with all that dosh you've got now!!

 

No I wasn't being critical of Obs, and I know Urchins gave it large BIG TIME. I'm just an exception, and refuse to follow the herd without questioning what it is I'm following.

I fully expected Obs & Keon D to have that reaction. Can't blame 'em!

Just wanted to nail me Essex colours to the mast as I really, really don't want Aldershite, Telford, or Shrewsbury to win it!

 

Bought any other CD's this week?

[mala_D]

By the way...I want my team to bury and destroy the opposition while the game's on...of course!! And it's a reet larf when we slag eachother of before and after the match...

But away from the match, I become a reasonable human being again.... [i think <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />]

More to life than footie, that's for sure.

The only side in Essex we want to see do well is Billericay Town, bollox to the rest, especially Canvey who were spawned from the devils loins. I don't think football rivalry has reached planet Urchin yet!

Would be funny if it was a Canvey v Aldershot final. Who would the ricay fans support as they hate both sides with a vengeance!

Couldn't care less! If it's not us then I struggle to find any enthusiasm - that goes for any game as it goes. (Except those involving the mighty Southampton!)

Believe me Ryan, it has...don't take my post as being representative of the Urchins!
They've disowned me too! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

See, the upturn is... IF Canvey win the Trophy then the "local rivalry" aspect will be perpetuated. [They did it, you didn't!! etc]
So it is in everyone's interest for them to succeed.

I will be happy because an Essex club has beaten another team from a part of the country which I've less attachment to, and Billericay fans should be happy because they'll have something else to moan about!

And I want Billericay to come up into Conf South because that would give us another two "local" derbies next season - which makes for an interesting [if not always beautiful] game.

Devil's loins indeed.....you know it's Jeff King! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
