Engvall’s Splinter

Memories of the Bristol Regional League this ?

On reading the title I assumed you were referencing Hampshire Reds, with his limited posts.

Fair point - it’s not as if the “professionals” hadn’t gotten us in to this mess over the last 3 years or so with lack of direction and poor recruitment. Wrap the forum up lads.

Whilst the government have been far from perfect, the majority of action has / would’ve been challenged by those banging the human rights drum. I see it regularly in the work place. Our country was long ****** before this.

Absolutely this. We are flogging Martin to death - give they guy some bloody help !!! We may end up getting better quality out of Martin in a 70 minute outing. Britton took his chance last time when many others seem to get there’s, get criticised by the manager and then start again the following week !

Exactly.

In respect of Englands game - has anyone ever asked a San Marino player if they’ve wanted to play against England ? I bet many would love to continue sharing a pitch with your Beckhams, Kane’s, Linekars etc. different perspective perhaps. Something to tell the grandkids at least.

Somewhat skewed owing to injuries and player characteristics. Simpson and King have been brought in to strengthen a depleted and inexperienced squad. Tanner and Atkinson have been positive and both have real room to improve. James needs a partner and someone to compliment his qualities rather than match. Pearson has an eye for a player. More confident in him to spend it wisely than I was Lee Johnson/Mark Ashton. I understand some of the sentiment though.

Absolute dross.

He’s 4 points above us.

Money talks.

He was for us. I’m sure I read that the summer gone was incredibly tough for him following his release. May be that’s given him the kick up the ass that was needed and a bit of focus. Good luck to him - for his sake.

Heard a tribute from Adrian Durham on Talksport. As one of the early premier league stars, linked in with my early days of March / Shoot magazines, it’s hard not to feel ties with Speed. Played with the emotions it did. What a player and appeared a great guy. Whilst I appreciate he was levels above, what we would do for a goal scoring midfielder like him. Magnificent at timing his runs and great in the air. RIP fella. Time has flown.

1 goal every 15 tells you exactly where we’ve been the last few years. He’s 26 years of age now and flattered to deceive in pretty much his whole 5 years here. I’m pleased he’s done well in his last two fixtures and contributed. It’s about time - he’s classed an international and cost over a 1m quid. Does he have ability? Yes. Not disputing that, many probably aren’t. Would question his courage though, something needed to eek out his ability and utilise it consistently week in week out. Prove us doubter wrong, Callum.

Realistically what’s he going to get ? A fine, some community service, suspended sentence etc?

Did Holden get any sort of reaction / applause?

Supporters doing the business also ????

COME ON LADS!!!

Young lads have been superb.

Our lads showing commitment we’ve been begging for.

Agree with Semenyo shout. Stretch the game. I’d leave Benarous on - terrific carrier of the ball.

Got away with that did Scott.

Williams to come off I reckon. Little twinge perhaps?

Williams strikes a lovely pass.

Yes.
