oldasitgets Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 What a stupid day. I could play for both teams, as could a few others, if we weren't playing Tremough that day! Isn't Scotty from Truro united running it? He's already asked me for players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I believe it's 4 from Mpad, 3 from Shortlanesend and Truro United, a few from Oxford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 40s? Practically a youth team! When are they going to sort out some proper veterans? I remember marking Rappo when he was only Ra, he was playing for Probus on Sundays. No problem. Rarely scored more than six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hiya Rappo. yeah we shall be keeping an eye on you Sunday. Your still a player to watch closely. Especially as now you are in your prime! Yup I am getting afew on Saturdays. Managed two tonight. But on a Sunday I tend to play at the back. So go easy on us young uns!

A One And A Six Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Just seened the squads for the game in the Westy and was wondering why so few teams have entered players for the Sunday League. Oxford are the only Div One team who have send players and just wanted to know why more clubs havent put their players forward? I know that TMS and Tremough have games on Sunday but what about the rest? :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Once again perhaps your question should be pointed towards Scott Behenna who has organised the team for this match . Did he contact all the clubs ??? Did those clubs reply to him nominating players ?? Having had a poor response from SOME of the clubs at our own DIV 1 V DIV 2 REP match at Christmas it would not surprise me if the same has happened this time . SOME clubs are only interested in themselves .........and give very little help when opportunities are given to them to promote their own club or the League in general . BUT I DARE SAY THEY ARE THE FIRST TO MOAN !!!!! Anyway good luck to those who are prepared to put themselves out to play on Sunday . :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A One And A Six Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yeah, some good points there zebedee. I now Scott contacted Oxford so i presume he contacted the other clubs aswell? Its a shame that more players and clubs are not representing the league, in my opinion, to represent any league is an honour and i for one would be proud to play in any league select fixture. :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 He said he had a poor response, hence more than two players selected from some clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Falmouth Albion have a game (against Threemilestone) so no representatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldasitgets Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Crowntown play Tremough Sunday. I would, as you may guess, love to have played and have been proud to represent the League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I like the banter Zebedee. Nice one. Rappo had a great game. 2 headers and 2 nice finishes. Fair do to the guy he is class. Hats off to Mr Rapsey. But to be honest the Sunday boys had their chances but perhaps finishing was the difference. A lovely game of footy. Pity more Sunday teams did not support it. Pidgeon in goal made a few good saves as did the Cornwall Vets keeper. The Vets knocked the ball around decently. Though I think they were pushed at times. I hope it becomes an annual fixture. I reckon we can do them next time. Ha Ha. But thats what it is all about. Going out there and having fun and enjoying football. Just hope Rappo makes a comment or two now. Seriously.......the Sunday boys did themselves proud today. We look forward to the replay! And cheers to the 3 officials for making it. Much appreciated.

Peck1961 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 If you looked up the word class in the dictionary, it would probably have a photo a Rappo next to it! He's personified the word since he started for the famous Malabar side back in the day when he was just a teenager banging in 50 or 60 a season! Awesome striker and a credit to himself and Cornish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Dont feel too despondent 'Pidge' on the four Rappo goals as looking on his CV he has put five past Kevin Miller in one match in the distant past. For those not in the know Kevin Miller goalkeeper 628 League appearances for Exeter City.Birmingham City,Watford,Crystal Palace,Barnsley,Bristol Rovers,Derby County,Southampton and Torquay United. Now at Bodmin Town previous to league career Falmouth Town and Newquay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPPO Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 hi mike,think you summed it up really well mate.you probably created as many chances as we did over the 90 minutes.i think if you played up front rather than at the back it might have been abit different though!??!! but a really nice day for all concerned,played in great spirit by both sides.i dont think there was a bad tackle in the game,well reffed by nigel as usual.a big thanks to everyone who makes games like these possible.dave and doug from the respective leagues etc, and great to play on penlee park again!(apart from big jim asking me if i ate all the pies every 10 minutes!!).enjoyed banging in afew goals for cornwall again,thought those days had gone!! thanks for the nice comments peck,twinkletoes and oldasitgets,much appreciated,im just happy to still be playing at 40!! and mike,i remember the 5 past kev for malabar v mawnan,lockhart cup final at penryn i think?one of those nights that was! what a keeper!!!!!!!!!! dont think i could stick 5 past him these days mate!!! p.s) pidge,the save you made off johnny mac at the start of the second half was superb!!! i turned away thinking it was in mate!!! plus the one our keeper den made right on half time,what a reflex save!!! he does that every week mind!! guys like you make strikers lives a misery!!!!!!!!!!!! :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Totally agree with you Rappo. The game was played in the right spirit. Very few free kicks. And I also thought Macca had scored. Awesome one handed diving save from Pidgeon. So a huge thanks to the league for organising the fixture and Penzance FC for hosting it. I am sure our manager Scott is up for a re-match!

snake Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well done Rappo. As Mike said the way you guys passed the ball around was superb. Its the way football should be played at every level. Its good to watch and more enjoyable playing. Have to agree with you on Den's save before half-time. Save of the match !! sorry pidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I would have to disagree Snake, my save came from a good Vets move, Den's save was down to poor finishing! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
