What are LtCpl and LtSgt?

[theabbeyabbott]

Little Corporal and Little Sargeant. Everyone knows that!

But the US Army wouldn't have arrived until half-time..... but then takes the field with 25 players and makes a film about it.

The Japanese Navy team usually scores five minutes before kick-off.

The French Army would host the game and pick an International side to represent themselves of course.

Spoke to LC about this one and seems its a typographical error .. should be Lance Corporal for Messrs Geary, Douglas and Hankey but Swan was given on the teamsheet as LSgt and that is certainly a mysterious rank ?

[Guest]

I think the guy Swan was probably a Lance -Sergeant or LSgt which is a Corporal acting as a Sergeant in the Guards .

[The Invisible Man]

Cheers guys. I guessed that LtCpl might be a typo for Lnace Corporal but the LSgt bit threw me. I did not know about theGuards Lance Sergeant thing - not that I know much about pongo ranks anyway!

 

I'd have thought that a Guardsman should play in goal! I suppose the RA prefer the long ball game..........

The Italian Army would refuse to change ends at half-time.

Refs are always Swiss of course.

And another one i've just remembered - scoring tonight in a 3-0 win for Luton over Southend United in the F A Cup was one Ahmet Brkvic who played twice for Eton Manor a few years back before joining Leyton Orient - one game was against Ilford in the Cup ? Everyone thought he was one of Reg's mates from Hackney Marshes but he had really come from Dubrovnik - odd one that !

[lovely stuff]

Why wasn't Brad Quinn (ex-ETFC) selected for the Army team. Is he still serving.

 

Come to think of it,arn't a lot of the Army over in Iraq. Add that to the fact that Enfield Town players were not allowed to play.???

 

Makes it a bit of a reserve fixture,don't you think. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/doah.gif" alt="" />

No. they are not, this was the full British Army Senior side including five from Germany, three from Northern Ireland and the rest of the large squad from around the Country, Artillery, Logistical, Guards, etc you name it they were there . As for the Eseex side they did not, at anytime look like a "reserve" outfit and are some of the best players in our League . Darren and his staff did a brilliant job and your comments are not needed nor promote the acceptable face of Representative Football. It is one of the most difficult jobs in football trying to gell a team together and the ridiculous criticism and snide remarks made on this forum in the last couple of days merely show the immaturity of the perpetrators rather than ever phase those associated with the Essex FA side. We look forward to the fixture with Lloyds Bank in the New Year. Keep up the good work Darren !

I cant see why my fellow Towner`s got so worked up over this as we played a Middlesex senior cup match that night.

[lovely stuff]

I was just being mischievous.

 

It's good to see new talent coming through the ESL.

[Guest]

A nice and fair enough response - what a lovely word is "mischievous" ... shades of elfs and pixies in the woodland, Enid Blyton and Sunny Stories, <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />sitting eating bread pudding with a bottle of Tizer - o' happy days !

If you want to see "ridiculous criticism and snide remarks" check out the BOWERS AND PITSEA FC thread. Whereas LOVELY STUFF was just being mischievious, INDEPENDENT was just being nasty, but HOOKEY put him in his place.
