New signing

[Rob_the_Saint]

Word reaches me we have signed Andrew 'Andy' Findlay from somewhere, previously with Hitchin Town and Hemel Hempstead. Think he's a striker.

[Laz]

Andrew "Findly" Findlay?

 

He's made an appearance for Hornchurch 2003/2004. Any word on him from any Urchins, Yellow?

[AFF]

It's probably 'Doctor' or 'Finders'.

[YELLOW]

Sounds familiar. He must have been poo if he only played one game for the Urchins. Unless it was during their bust period.

[Laz]

2004. That was before any of us had heard of them!

 

There is a rumour that this thread is complete poo too!

 

Watch this space.

[Hatboy]

It would have to be Doctor

[YELLOW]

Probably more around 2003 when the Urchins came to prominence.

[Laz]

That would be the year when despite being down near the bottom all season we went down there and won 1-0. I think we had Dean Hooper dismissed too.

[YELLOW]

Didn't Mark Graham score your goal and they signed him about a week later?

[Laz]

I can't remember who scored but I recall him scarpering after the pot of gold the following week.

[Rob_the_Saint]

Think it might have been Nic McDonnell, a real collectors' item. There's a viedo clip somewhere...

[YELLOW]

Is he at Bromley now along with Steve Watts?

[AFF]

I hear on the very best authority that 'Doctor' Findlay is staying at Tannochbrae United or whatever and is only playing for The Mighty Saints in his dreams.

 

Where does this stuff start?

[Laz]

Indeed. Check out post number 1 to see who started the rumour!

[Hatboy]

Rob the Sinner !

[Rob_the_Saint]

Hold the back page! The Observer will have to think up a new story now.

 

Perhaps we've signed Janet instead.

[Webbo MFI]

AFF will love this....!

 

Picture the scene -

 

A conveniance store in a village called Sandridge just north of St Albans.

 

Webbo "20 B&H and 4 cans of Bud please Mr Shop keeper, Oh sorry mate, did I push in the queue?"

 

Guy behind wearing "Hitchin Town FC" tracksuit top "No, your OK mate, just browsing the crisps selection - go ahead"

 

Webbo "Cheers - do you play for Hitchin then?"

 

Guy behind wearing "Hitchin Town FC" tracksuit top "no - not any more - I've just signed for St Albans City"

 

Webbo "Really? what position do you play?"

 

Guy behind wearing "Hitchin Town FC" tracksuit top "Striker - just been up t'park this alvo speaking to Rich 'tea' Hanlon he has been watching me and wants me to play for the mighty saints"

 

Webbo "oh right - cool - good luck"

 

Guy behind wearing "Hitchin Town FC" tracksuit top "cheers - I'm a mate of Seebs by the way"

 

Webbo "great - bye"

 

Guy behind wearing "Hitchin Town FC" tracksuit top "bye - err 10 Mayfair please Mr Shopkeeper"

 

Webbo "hmm...."

 

 

 

[Laz]

The fags could be for his Nan?

[AFF]

And that's it? You bump into an escaped lunatic in the village shop and he says that he's just signed for Manchester United and you believe it?

 

You've been watchiing too much Miss Marple and Midsommer Murders, mate. Our village isn't St Mary Mead, you know. Or Midsommer Magna.

 

And then you plaster this news all over the Official web-site? Without even a "meeting on a face to face basis" with Gibbo? Without even seeking clarification from the bloke who teaches t'lads how to drive a combine harvester at Oaklands College?

 

I despair.
