TomBCFCUK Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Maybe this shows there is alot of pressure on the guys to perform in league games and they aint up for it! Has savage got a team at the moment because maybe we could get him on a free and still get a loan in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulW Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 The Skonto side is very weak - this is the first time in their history that they didn't win the Latvian Championship, and they lost 6-1 (!) over 2 legs in the first round of the Champions League qualifying this year to a team called "Rabotnicki".And the Skonto players would have been coasting (an END of season tour) while the trialists would have been really up for itSo I wouldn't read anything into this result. But I bet that Johnson will hype it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Apparently Sam Ayorinde plays for Stalybridge Celtic - GJ must be very impressed to bring him in then!It must have been him and Savage that started up front then, someone has said Wring scored but I thought he picked up a bad injury against Rovers reserves recently?Ayorinde played for Stalybridge in 2002 , since then he's been playing in Sweden and China.Desperate, aren't we?

Skontiešiem vienīgos vārtus mačā izskaņā pēc soda sitiena guva Aleksejs Višņakovs It translates as this.In the second friendly game of their England tour, Skonto lost 1:3 (0:2 at half-time) to former national-team trainer, Gary Johnson's Bristol City. The only Skonto goal was scored near the end of the game by Aleksej Višņakovs.Thanks to PaulW for providing the translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one single Skonto player from last nights game was a starter for Latvia at Euro 2004. Mind you, Visnakovs is quite handy. In fact, the Latvian media wrote that the aim of this end of season tour was to find a buyer for him. Maybe Gary will do his old employer (Indriksons, Skonto owner and President of the Latvian Football Federation) a favour and buy him for City?
