Steve Massey Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The comments from the Foxhole (step six) centre half regarding Andy Watkins are very harsh and unfortunately sums up all that is wrong with the FA's Respect campaign. They are struggling to get the message across that their Campaign IS NOT ALL about Refeeres BUT IS for EVERYONE involved in the game. The FA are wanting fans, manager's, players as well as ref's to show more respect and consideration for each other, whether that is on the playing field, off the pitch or as in this case posting on a website! What this step six player has highlighted in his posting in trying to big himself up, is a lack of respect for one of if not THE FINEST player for Truro City (step 3) over the last five seasons or so. His integrity as a footballer and in particular his work rate should never ever be questioned as this player / poster does. He's just returned from a horrible injury and surgery and is nursing his way back to full fitness. The Poster has not entered into the spirit of the FA's Campaign at all, for if he had, he would not have shown the lack of respect with his comments about another player's lack of interest in a game! Respect? It's not all about Ref's, Let's try and give some to ALL INVOLVED with it! Best wishes and lots of luck in completing your come back Andy. I do hope your able to lead from the front, taking Truro to the championship to cap another fantastic season for Cornish football.

Mongoose Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Absolutely spot on, all the best to Andy one if top local strikers. Terrible lack of respect for fellow player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your's Respectfully Mass can't see how my comment is disrespectful, just saying it as I see it! Have you never heard a tv pundit say a player never looked interested? you make it sound like I should be honoured to be on the same pitch as Andy Watkins, like I'm not fit to lick his boots and you think thats respectful!! if my post comes across as disrespectful, I apolagise, it's not how it was intended (and to be honest, Andy Watkins couldn't give two hoots what I think anyway)and I never intended to BIG myself up, way to old for that, got grey hairs and everything! I used to think Andy Waddel never looked interested either!(hope I havn't upset him now) At the tender age of 39, I think i've earnt the right to enjoy a clean sheet!A Little banter never hurt anyone. If I got upset everytime an apponent told me I was too old,past it or too slow, I'd go through lots of hankies! Even the little "(step six)" remark didn't upset me Mass! I know what I've achieved during my playing days might not rank me as one of the greats, but I'm proud of it, and I'm proud to still be playin, at whatever level!

Magic Mike Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Maybe after a double hernia operation 45 minutes was all his first team manager wanted him to play and ease him back in after a long lay off?. Having said that, great work keeping him quiet for that half, your marking must be better than your spelling!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cornwall Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 crouchy, you never really played that well either. i was asked by mr peters to line the game for truro for which the foxhole folk gave me credit for all decisions given. andy did reasonably well; after all he is returning from a bad injury and a couple of times his pace had your defence beaten but not the excellent ryan holland in goal. nice to see in the local paper that Adam Holland has swiftly moved from foxhole to truro. as for the respect campaign, people are starting to adhere to it. i watched the the late kick off south west and they were talking about the respect and that fa's should make players adhere to it at all times, by enforcing greater punishment so that key players who think they can get away with it, are not playing in crucial games. going back to the game Saturday, there was a player for foxhole whom got sent off. what for, calling the referee a f*** etc. they then argued what the card was for and everyone could hear it.

And just for the record Mr.Cornwall, I thought yourself and the ref had decent games and he was right to send our player off and I told him so! but I don't think some of the Truro lads were too impressed with our lino so don't start on the swearing topic!!!!!! I think they even had a go at you didn't they? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldeneye Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Couchy, when I read your posting I, and I suspect many others, took it to be tongue-in-cheek! If people think your post contravenes the respect campaign then probably over 50% of the posts on this forum do also! The moderators obviously have no problem with your posting. Are you really only 39?! :yahoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore not frustration. Im not moaning at your performance of of Andy's but the way you wish to downgrade a lad, who has more ability than you. Credit where credit is due though, Foxhole did play some good football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Martin Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just got back from Treyew Road where the score from tonights match was - Truro City 4 Newquay 3 with a goal from Andy Watkins. He was looking fit and speedy and hopefully will now be available for the 1st Team. His fitness was looking good and the final touches and match awareness will rapidly come back. The difficulty however for the Truro Manager will now be when and how to fit him back into the Team - the partnership between Barry Hayles and Les Afful in the last few matches has been excellent and with the run-in to the end of the season so vital to Truro with a great chance of automatic promotion then I can see Andy's position at the moment being 'on the bench'. But, what a great player to have on the bench. Given a bit more time I think a partnership between Barry Hayles & Andy Watkins could be unstoppable - next season perhaps in the Conference.....?
