IM BACK!

[MADEFM]

Ha ha ha ha ha, im back on here once again. Only briefly mind. Just a couple of quick things, a friend of mine (unfortunatly he's scottish) has informed me that last saturday in the daily record, there was a small piece that said some keeper had signed for us. Cannot remember his name but he was mentioned on here before, has played in the scotts prem and has moved down to study at uni or something in london, wants a part time team, apparently signs for st.albans, remember my information source is from a scot.

 

Secondly i have absolutly no confidence in the new management team, I can see this being an exteremely hard season for us. On review of last season the club in whole looked in a fairly healthy state. But just seeing it now makes me feel so disgusted, the park is falling to pieces, we employ a manager and assistant with no experience. WHATS GOING ON? All I have to say is that John Gibson must go, PLEASE!

 

Every St.Albans fan owes a lot to him, he saved the club and nobody can thank him enough, however I think, he thinks he's actually going to make money from St.Albans? (ok so he is a geordie) but get real mate! This is non-league football! Sorry John, but as much I have the utter most respect for you, its time to go, you've had a good innings, but sorry.

 

Finally if John goes (and god help us) I think it'd be a real turn of fortune if Mr Ridley would kindly step up. Iv read his book, ok he did do some things wrong, but im sure he's learned and could easily make the mighty saints, a team, a club that this great city and county deserve.

Derek Stillie?

[MADEFM]

Yerp thats the one! Apparently he's signed for us and did last saturday.

Somebody was talking about it on here a few weeks back. Used to play for Dundee United.

From the Sunday Mail :- http://www.sundaymail.co.uk/sport/footba...-name_page.html

 

 

"FORMER Dundee United keeper Derek Stillie is in talks with Conference side St Alban's after quitting Tannadice to train as a lawyer. The 33-year-old hopes to combine his studies in London with part-time football."

Hi Mad.

 

Whereyabin? Whereyagoin?

 

I for one have missed your incisive wisdom and the forthright expression of your views. Your opening post on this thread is a little subtle, mind. Perhaps, like me, the end of your youth is approaching and you have adopted a somewhat more gentle tack as you chart life's great highways and by-ways. Are you into nature and all that stuff?

 

Do ypu know anything of The Two Gallants or are you still into that 70s heavy stuff? I see there was a brief revival of Saxon in your neck of the woods. Were you there?

[Laz]

According to last night's Review we haven't signed "a Scottish goalkeeper".

 

I saw Saxon at Hammersmith in 1979 with Motorhead supporting. Surely it's time for them to jack it in.

[Duke of York]

Didn't they [saxon] support Hawkwind at Hawkfest last weekend? I saw Saxon in Ipswich back in 1992 and I thought thye should have jacked it in back then.

[Wilf Woodend]

I saw Saxon 'headline' at the City Arena on the 'Wheels of Steel' tour and a very good evening it was. I think that the band split and there are now two bands trying to claim they are Saxon.

[Laz]

A bit like Enfield and Wimbledon then, pairs of football clubs fighting over their history.

[AFF]

The TV programme that I caught was where Harvey Goldsmith 'takes on' a fading/rising 'star' and makes it happen. It was Saxon and it was quite entertaining. The lead singer is a guy called Biff or Boff or something similar, and Harvey arranged for them to play in a pub in Lincoln or somewhere in Mad territory before launching their comeback sell-out mega-gig at the Sheffield Palais or somewhere.

 

One of Harvey less-bright ideas was to get t'lads [all of whom appear older than my father] to go on t'pitch at half-time at the previous weeks home game between Neil Warnock's Premiership Newcomers Sheffield United and Roy Keanes err.. err.. Premiership Newcomers Sunderland. [it might have been Wednesday, now I come to think about it. No. It was on a Saturday at Sheffield Wednesday's ground.] Anyway. the idea was to try to set the world record for the number of people to do the air-guitar thingy. It didn't quite work as Sheffield were losing 2-0 at the time and the Sunderland fans didn't quite grasp the spirit of the occasion and gave Saxon the bird.

 

Anyway. Happy days.

 

Where were we?

[MADEFM]

Well iv been all over the place really. But at this present moment im in portsmouth doing the Network Rail apprentiship (things are going bad, ey?). Iv been down here since last September and il be moing back to the great St.Albans 4 weeks on thursday. Yer im starting to grow up a bit I guess, and yes im still into metal (saw Megadeth at the astoria last saturday). Although im into all sorts now. Does anyone know anyone who would want to buy soem Live Earth tickets?

[AFF]

Well done Mad. You could compare notes with EFMTFTV regarding the train stuff, although your respective musical tastes are slightly different.

 

Ever heard of Saxon, Mad?

[MADEFM]

Yes iv heard of them, but not a great deal of their music. Cant say that im really that huge on them. Going to see Metallica of July 8th however, which should be good. They've also announced there playing live earth the day before. So does anybody else think Gibson should go and have Ridley step in?

[Laz]

Don't ever take train advice from Thornsey! I spent six hour going to Exeter last season so we could save a fiver or something! It stopped at places I'd never heard of!

 

I'm not sure about Ridley. I thought he seemed a little unstable.
