Bryan Flint Baker Ayling Freeman Smith Pack Blit Kodjia Wilbs Well look on the bright side, if your subbed for wes, means you are sure to get 90+ minutes hope your match fit !,,!

marmite Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I once played in a team that won 29-2. I was the only player, including our keeper, who didn't score, and we got a rollicking from the manager for conceding 2.(I was centre half). Surely my place is a shoe in.

Your failure to keep a clean sheet makes you quite an attractive signing. Please can you advise us of your hopelessly ambitious personal terms.

Major Isewater Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 52 minutes ago, MarkRed! said: I am a midfield dynamo, slightly overweight for my age but certainly able to take the field for 2 minutes if required by SC. Although, not really a sprinter, I would sit inside the hole in front of the back three and attempt to give direction to my out of position colleagues. If I was required to pass the ball, I am comfortable on the ball and would simply pass it sideways and backwards in accordance with our free flowing passing style. What I would bring though SC, if nothing else, is a commitment to the cause and the full knowledge that I would not be with you for very long.... Are you Kilkenny ?

He would, however, require a signing-on fee of a box of candied slugs and twenty slugs a week thereafter. I'll waive my agent's cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 This is an absolutely ridiculous thread because we would not get in the team at all . I should know, having just finished a loan spell at Swindon and previously at Bury. I am happier going to Cribbs to spend my wage at John Lewis.....to be honest I still put everything on my Brighton and Hove American Express card, they havent noticed I've gone yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsince1994 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Once scored a chip from halfway in 7 a side. I reckon my long passing is gonna be less predictable than marlons (It'll go all over the ******* place). I'll have to shift some christmas weight first but I'm game.

Davefevs Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I too wore the Bristol City kit for a Lloyds Bank National Cup game v Blackburn Region. We borrowed the kit from a mate who played for local side Exeter Utd. City used to give them there old kits. We lost 3-1 in extra time. We had a couple of gas heads in our team, one of which refused to wear the keepers top, insisting on wearing a shell suit jacket instead! The Blackburn team were full of ringers. We played them at Darwen FC's ground. What a shithole. Elliott Bennett - if you decide to get your new kitchen fitted in a house in Darwen then fair play to you....you deserve the wages you're getting if you put up with living there!!!

Between heaven and hell Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Right I'm a very young 49 and a slender 15 stone. The right leg is shagged because of an RTA and I once had the misfortune of being banned from playing for a year because of a incident with the ref in a Stroud league cup match. Forgetting all of the above I'm up for it ! I would like to sit on the bench along side Cotts so on 75 mins I can say can you not see his knackered that bloke is up front for us.

Southstandoriginal Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've not got the stamina that I used to have but I think I could easily manage one of Mr Cotterill's sub appearances. Count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Haven't played regularly since I was in my junior school team, but last summer I scored a cracking goal against my 7 year old son when we were playing shots in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lympsham Red Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Some of the stuff people are coming up with on this thread is hilarious. I'm no footballer myself but I have won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup multiple times with Bristol City on Football Manager 2016, so maybe I'd be a suitable replacement for Cotts as a whole?

Chivs Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I used to be secretary (and left back) of a Sunday pub team. We often struggled to get a full eleven together and so I'm aware of how to be creative with team sheets. Me: Right John, you look good in the air, take the far post at corners. Ralph: John, who's John? Me: You are! John. You play up front for us Ralph: Oh yeah, right. I reckon I could pass off as Derrick assuming WBA buy the awful illness that has made me put on two stone and change skin colour. I might even make 90 seconds activity. I'll bring my boots and shin pads. PS This is only working if I can wear long sleeves and gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
