i think he actually started that chant!

 

how is mr cobb? we were ever so disappointed when we heard he wasn't playing...

[Michael Hunt]

haha ! good old ESU, great entertainment !!

Cobby has a problem with his pelvis being 'out of line' - been told he will be out for 4 weeks approx.

It's an age thing Tree, gets to us all in the end

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

And you left the clubhouse alone!!!!

wish Cobby well Michael, my 15 year old son had this, his was tilted and kept breaking down in games, our club physio Pete gave him exercises and suggested a gym ball to keep the back upright even when watching the TV or using the PC and this helped, back playing after 6 weeks,

[Michael Hunt]

Thanks Zody, will do !

Distraught about not catching up with Tink Westy - I thought she was going to come over and introduce herself, but obviously she was either too shy or offended by my physical appearance ??!

[Uncle Urchin]

she was standing right next to you near the bar huntster...

 

cor blimey you young 'uns aint 'alf slow on the uptake.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Michael Hunt]

she wasn't the one wearing the 'hello my name is Tink and I think you are really handsome for an older man" badge, was she ??

If so, I didn't see her Unc.....

[Uncle Urchin]

[The Monk]

Serves you right for a sh*t tackle

[Michael Hunt]

haha PM, nice to hear from you. Had actually done my calf before that tackle - personally, I thought the tackle was a good old-fashioned 50-50 didn't you ?

[The Monk]

fantastic

[Mitchurchin]

Sorry I'm a bit late: Great performance on Saturday from the lads, Tilbury put on a solid showing with the usual level of ESU brutality that livens up our saturdays. The refs obviously have a different idea of intent when it comes to tackling, but never mind.

 

Golby and Gareth were superb, Collier pulled out a brilliant save, Heale was excellent, Danny Cowley absolutely outstanding. Hambleys substitution was genius and his goal, god like.

 

All in all another great day at the Bridge.

 

Hope you get better Hunty, preferably after the GBT semi, you wont need another battering from Luke and Dan, watch it from the stands it's marginally safer.

[Michael Hunt]

Thanks Mitch, hoping to be back for the semi !

The Cowleys are no problem for me - look forward to playing against them again as we always have good battles. As for Longman, he caught me with a naughty elbow on Saturday and that won't be forgotten either !

[Mitchurchin]

Well.....let's put stray elbows and studs on the shin in the past shall we?! This league is not exactly like playing in non contact Serie A is it? Some of the tackling is worthy of the Old Boys soccer I used to play in, where a booking only resulted after a fracture at least. We didn't have stretchers on the touchline, we had coffins.

 

It's a physical old league and at least we can rely on the refs to handle things properly.

 

Good luck with the injury old son.

[Michael Hunt]

haha - and that's why we love it Mitch !

[Mitchurchin]

I can well believe it. I'm itching to get my boots on again, maybe I can squeeze my way into one of these supporters matches one of these days. Have boots will travel, my motto.....oh and two gifted feet ( i got them off ebay) and a bad back, not a bad combo!
