  1. Best young keeper around is craig clinton!!!! watch this space!!!! sum bleddy boy!!
  2. But it wud explain why your not so happy, I for 1 think the man running this league did an excellent job and when it comes to voting committee members, trust me there's not many coming forward, we can all criticise but not many step forward to try and do better, league finished now maybe next season there will be more teams entering and be more committed
  3. What club do you play for then I might understand your frustration
  4. i can see your frustration but i think i can give a reasonable explaination,firstly id like to say that running a league isnt that straightforward and the man at the helm this year has done a fantastic job in getting the fixtures played,against some of the worst conditions weather wise this year,not just affecting this league but all the others and had it not been for a certain person this league could well of been wrapped up mid stream but he worked minor miracles behind the scenes,as for western A they had difficulties fielding a team but to try and keep the league running and give teams games to play i think it was looked upon to be a little flexible towards them for the best of the league,it was unfortunate they struggled for some games but i for 1 had no problems with them carrying on in hope they could fulfill the fixtures,i run one of the vets teams and know how frustrating it is trying to put a team out,if there were plenty of teams knocking on the door trying to join this league then i think it would of been looked at quite differently,but there isnt!!!!! you could also ask why were teams not punished for pulling out last minute because they struggled to either get their best players or to field enough players,ive played and managed in this league and the teams in it all do there best,i take my hat off to western A for staying until the end when pulling out mid season would of been the easy option,lets hope next season they can get some more committment from some other players and maybe have 1 or 2 new teams joining,i hope this gives some sort of explanation
  5. Good evening all,well here is the final blog from me as parting manager of St.Agnes Bolster Vets,Last game of the season and we end up playing my old team mates Aggie A!!!! was always gunna be a difficult one as its the big derby game that both sides want to win,even more so for me seeing as it was going to be my final game in charge! The game started well for us and we seamed to be in control for the first 20-25 mins but no real threat on goal,then Aggie A broke and Thurlow put the ball in the back of the net,disaster!!!!! only for the lino to give offside,what a let off!!!,we did however get a chance of our own when rupert lobbed the keeper only for the ball to hit the crossbar!!!!!,half time 0-0,i knew it was going to be a tense affair,2nd half and Aggie A certainly had the bit between their teeth and we struggled to get out of our own half for almost 20mins but against the run of play Spencer calmly finished a counter attack and stuck the ball in the back of the net,this was the goal we needed to give us the confidence to push forward and 15-20mins later after some fine passing and movement Spencer hit the back of the net for a 2nd time,game over as far as i was concerned as neither team had that many chances at goal, Well done to my lads for getting me the win to finish off the season,both teams played well and have had a great season,both teams improving on last seasons tally,so well done jez and Aggie A, Time now for a summer break and take stock of what i do next,thanks for reading my posts and sending the odd reply or two,
  6. What can i say,such kind and sincere words from the chairman,i did think, after writing that if i was a player id get a testimonial lol its very hard to walk away,even at training last night i still found it difficult to realise that it should be my last training session with the lads,albeit not many Aggie B players have shown much interest,some because they genuinely cant make it,but i showed willing as a manager,if i cant be bothered how can i expect the players,needless to say jez and the Aggie A boys made me and the few players welcome when we turned up and tried our best to bring both teams together and work as a unit,i MAY still hang around,Aggie are one of the best clubs ive been associated with and i was made to feel part of the club,and on a personal note bringing in the players i did to get a good squad of players,i feel id be letting them down after having talked them into joining me,but without those guys i would never of been able to put a team out for all the fixtures,so maybe i may just hang on in there for another season,who knows,my thoughts are on sundays game and lets just see what happens,
  7. hi Chubbs and thanks very much for your kind words,shame that trusty left foot is out of action,cartalidge operation imminent!!!!! but then again the right leg is knackered so i got nothing to stand on anymore,cheers buddy and good luck in your new managerial role next season,lets just watch this space and see them climb back up that table with you at the helm
  8. Good evening campers,hi de hi lol,The long awaited derby match between the 2 Aggie sides takes place this weekend!!!!! but looking at the weather grrrrrrrrr bugger off rain!!!!!,anyways lets hope it dries before the weekend and the game can finally be played,Both managers are keen to get this game played as its an end of season finale,with both teams on 12 points,and sat at 5th and 6th in the league,everything is to be played for,who will get the bragging rights????? Having played for Aggie A and now manager of Aggie B my heart has to go with Aggie B,but come final whistle i shall shake the manager and players hands whatever the outcome! On a final note it just leaves me to say a VERY big thank you to all the players who have supported me this season and turned up to give it their best,its time for me to say goodbye and let someone else take charge next season,ive had some great times at Aggie first as a player with the Aggie A vets and then some coaching then on to manage Aggie B vets,A wonderful 9 seasons altogether,i shall miss the banter,matchday tension and most of all the players ive grown friends with,many many thanks guys,hope to see you guys out and about, I may have to come back a write a bit more if this game gets cancelled lol,oh yeah and write a final report on the result!!!!
  9. lol tis always good to have a bit of banter and you guys are top drawer when it comes to playing with a bit of honesty,we all want to win,but to win fairly or else whats the point!anyway buddy have a great finish to your season and may or may not see you next season
  10. lol i do think he was meant to put the ball away,but i did think it was a harsh decision in the first place, but the ref saw some shirt tugging!!!! i guess your guy wanted to play for us and help us out!anyway i can laugh about it all now but trust me i was miffed yesterday,always good playing downderry,your very sporting especially with the back pass decision that went against us,you kindly gave us the ball back,all in all it was a good game of footie and yes your right it looked much more encouraging for us in the 2nd half when we finally got to pass the ball about,which by the way i asked for before kick off!no one listens to the manager they know best lol,cheers for you comment,and good luck in the final
  11. hi bud,thanks for the encouragement,frustration is an understatement!!! but i guess most managers experience it,having once played i always gave it my best and signed to play,there were some real genuine ones who couldnt play today,i remember back when i was playing and the team were short,i offered to go as sub for cover knowing full well a knee op was just around the corner and ended up playing all game as they were short,but i did it for the team!anyway moan over lol,lets hope for a strong squad next week
  12. omg where do i start.very very dissappointed,never started well from the start of the week when player after player became unavailable for a semi final cup game!!!!!!!!!!!!! out of a squad of 39 believe it or not i have 9 that havent even played 1 game this season,whats that all about,anyway onto the game,which had to be played at chivvy as another cup game was going to be played later in the afternoon at enys,all seemed to be ok at the start but Downderry broke down the wing and finished with a fine touch,the 2nd followed shortly after,the ball took a terrible bounce that caught players and the goalie out and it resulted in almost a tap in for Downderry,2-0 half time,what do you do when all you have is 1 sub!! i know you keep the same shape and hope for the best,to be fair we had some chances and the lads gave all they had,Downderry got the 3rd and it was all but game over,we did get a penalty late on which hit the woodwork!!!! it wasnt our day,id like to congratulate Mike and the lads from Downderry and wish them all the best in the final,sorry for the poor hospitality given,i was a little embarressed by it, BIG cup final next week Aggie A verses Aggie B Then final league game verses Western,goodnite x
  13. Its semi final time again,this time we are against Downderry,always a tough team to play against,still struggling to put out a side so not looking forward to this one!!!!!!! oh to be a manager!!!!! you never know theres still time yet to get some txts back lol,anyway lets hope we can pull something out the hat come sunday K.O!
  14. Hello again!!!!! BIG semi final cup game today verses Bodmin,after being beaten in the league earlier in the season 10-2 we needed to lift our game,but having only just won on penalties in our last game it was going to be a big ask,but nevertheless as the game kicked off we had a couple of chances to go ahead,but never took them and we got punished, by half time Bodmin had found the net twice,we needed some luck in the 2nd half but it really wasnt our day although we did find the net with a very good header,we just couldnt get back in the game,always a bit dangerouse pushing forward looking for that extra goal or two and we got caught a couple of times near the end with a couple of soft goals,but take nothing away from Bodmin they are a solid side but i think the scoreline flattered them a little,6-1,good luck in the final Bodmin,they should have goal machine Derek back for that one!!!!
  15. hi there and thanks for your compliments and honesty,i wasnt trying to say it wasnt a penalty but i was on the other side of the pitch and all i meant was that from where i was stood it looked outside the box,and i think your right neither team deserved to lose,your team always gets better as the season goes on and i wasnt looking forward to meeting you,but i must agree with what you said, it was once again a pleasure to play a team that never gives up and plays the game in the spirits to which its supposed to be,i manage the Bolsters and i try to influence fair play,its Vets football after all,theres nothing gained by trying to cheat at offsides etc,thanks again mate,much apprechiated
