I wish I had the healing powers of...

[Little Miss Urchin]

Lee Hodges.

 

In the two games I've seen him play he's hit the deck in what appeared to be agonising pain. But no! Up he rises as though touched by the healing hand of God to continue the game without so much as a hobble (at Chelmsford last season he sprinted a couple of hundred meters and jumped a barrier twice!).

 

Is it hardly surprising that when players go down genuinely hurt they are left to roll around for a while before someone checks on them?

 

It's scum like Hodges who give the game a bad name.

[Rick the Dick]

Do you honestly believe Lee Hodges is scum LMU? I can't believe you've come up against much real scum if that's your genuine opinion.

 

Take a couple of days to get over the defeat, watch us do the same against your other team on Monday (or have you given up on Chelmo now?) and re-think yout position.

 

Lee Hodges is a wonderfull entertaining player who deserves a more considered opinion.

LMU - Not a nice word to use.

I think your team will do well this year (if it is consolation)

[Richard Macey]

All I can say about Lee Hodges is what a great goal he scored, one of the best i've seen over at the Bridge.

Now thats a better attitude spuddy ...

[Serious Sid]

When we played AFC Sudbury away last season I can remember them complaining bitterly on their Forum about how "physical" we were. They were not used to that style of play in the Ridgeons League where they had played the previous season. We told them that they should stop complaining and learn to play the way successful teams play in Ryman North. I suspect we must adopt the same approach in Ryman Prem. Shame really but that's football.

If you talk to anyone with police or fire brigade experience they will tell you that people who are seriously injured make very little movement! You did not see any rolling around from the guy who broke his leg last night!

Lee Hodges "triple salko" was obviously theatre aimed at winding up the home supporters.

No real harm done no one was needlessly booked as a result.

hes a fat [****!!****] midget, good goal, but goes down like a sack of sh!t

[Adam.S]

So did some of your players! 2nd half one of your players dived in the box! At least the ref wasnt fooled by it

[Hoops@BTFC]

"hes a fat [****!!****] midget, good goal, but goes down like a sack of sh!t"

 

I think most of the time he had to go down because the ref couldnt see the blatent hacks on him. And by the way UB have you ever seen a "sack of sh!t" do a double spin in mid air?

he he...that was joey keith...I had to larf.....not one of his best.....

have to say tho' that this is a bit of a silly splat cos they all do it...always have and always will...I was doing it 40 years ago....

hodges is a good player so lets not spoil what was a good night for all....

[Eastside Urchin]

If the ref had of booked the ricay centre forward for diving then the 3/4 dives after that would probably not taken place.

If players feel they may get a penalty or at the worst a ticking off from the referee then they are going to take the risk.The referees need to learn the full rules again or at least the FA/FIFA/UEFA ETC need to stop changing them every 5 minutes

Motion carried, on both counts.

Hopefully some points for you guys Saturday. Good luck.

[Eastside Urchin]

i must say though that after in the bar he looked as though he had just been dressed for school.White school shirt and standard black trousers.I guess its his age though!!

[Little Miss Urchin]

Hodges is a cheat, I stand by what I wrote and so should anyone who saw what he did at Chelmsford.

 

As for Chelmsford being my second team, you've been there as well, Ric, (not only against Ricay) so does that make them your second team as well? I go as I live locally.
