Todays Game

Adrian only got a contract till the end of the season (now) hope he signs for next year and i am sure he would go fulltime.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Groombridge has a confidence about him, with exceptional pace that with a full time contract could see him go far.

I was behind the goal in the first half, and to me Drury went down way to easily for it to be given a penalty!

But he was tripped and therefore still a penalty.

The wording of the rule is wrong. It should be if a defending player touch's an attacking player and forces him to go down then it should be a pen. At the moment though it is if a defending player touch's an attacking player and he goes down then it is a pen.

So in this case it should have been a penalty, still doesn't make it the right desicsion though.

It were crap today. I heard a rumour only 8 players are being kept for next season.

Thats the trouble with rumours, thats all they are, rumours.

[mikefleet]

maybe 8 players on fulltime contracts but surely not 8 players overall. Liam said that wouldnt happen when we anncouned we would go fulltime.

[Robbo]

ANd the Drury penalty was easily a dive by him. Stupid thing to do considering the position he was in, and he could of atleast done a dive that was believable!

[mikefleet]

did anyone see the dive from corbett on Skins, he jumped higher then Skins couldnt belive he got away with it.

[Robbo]

Yeh don't dwell on that 8 player thingy, its probably a load of crap. Just thought I'd mention it though so I can say I told you so if it does come true. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I too heard pretty much the same rumour

A very poor performance. Sadly, not a good advert for encouraging supporters back next season. Sorry, it has to be said: the commitment displayed by some players today was just not good enough. Burton wanted the points and were hungrier. I guess they are still smarting from their thrashing by Grays or possibly responding to satisfy their travelling supporters. Fleet were not robust enough and easily bullied off the ball. Unfortunately, when some Fleet players tried to match their opponents they weren't quite as subtle with it and were easily penalised by the referee. Passing was again woeful at times and Sigere must be fed up with trying to turn a poor and hopeful ball forward into a pass to a team member that can run with him - if only... No surging runs from midfield again. More often than not when more than three Fleet players got into the Burton penalty area it was the result of a free kick or corner. End of season, non event game or is that some players would be better suited to the levels played in a lower league. On this poor display the Fleet must be a relegation candidate next season. Something has to be done about it. Let's hope the new season brings with it a fresh attitude and a return to a hunger for results.

AHH Good point.

[Robbo]

No no no, if this club is to progress with limited resources, we have to be very selective on full time players. Deane is not a quality player, and the youngsters have yet to prove themselves. It would be ridiculous to give them all full time contracts.

Correct, we shouldn't give a full time contract to everyone that plays well every now and then, only those that have done (or can do) it consistantly.

Sorry when I say we I mean Liam.

[EUFC superb]

i was impressed by surey and deane today.

surey is always best when he starts.

harry was it you i heard saying you were angry at liam for not coming to congratulate the players and fans and alan kimble did?

[mikefleet]

gnfc superb you were impressed by ben today what game were you watching his passing was awful and yes i think the players should of walked round the pitch at the end and said thank you for the past year. not just the odd person running over.

Hang on a minute, hang on a minute don't go around saying that mate people will say there is no smoke without fire. I didn't even know Liam didn't congratulate us fans for the season and even if I thought he hadn't I wouldn't say it out loud and in public. I'd think he'd probably say it to him later. No superb it wasn't me that said that. I thought you knew who I was as we met at York.

[EUFC superb]

yea sorry got confused looked a bit like you i thought. Did anyone notice the 50 odd year old that played for Burton?
