UPDATED 31/10/12 from the Vale/just back from the Vale

Updated 31/10/12

Andrew taylor said no injury to helguson or noone...but i will update after thursday training :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


Met kimbo's agent, told him about all the well wishers for kim on here he thanked me and said it was nice to hear and he would pass it on to kimbo .....

Training started late about 11 20am due to a players meeting (no problems brewing )just a thing they do....helguson and noone were not training i asked andrew taylor after training if there was any reason they were missing he assured me they are not injured, infact noone took an extra recovery day and helguson had gone home to iceland for a few days with his family.....

In the practice match i lost count how many goals mason scored whitts scored well as did gestede...mcnoughton ran everywhere like he had something to prove and also scored kimbo stood out as sheer class creates so much time on the ball for himself ...kiss slid into gunerson on 1 occasion clipping his ankle kiss said sorry tried to pick him up but gunnerson shrugged him off (aron not happy) but it was soon forgotten ....

Finally had a chat with joe lewis (seems very nice guy)told me he will start tonight at ccfc against millwall 7 o clock kick off.... (im definatly going)...... he said conway would be one of the over age players to start as will steve mcphail ....im also guessing that velikonja will start as he was not training at the vale today hope to go again thursday and will do another update then :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Oh forgot about the new boy frie he was training but did not join in the practice game ,instead he did 1 to 1 fitness training with 1 of our coaches everything he did was with a ball at his feet :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Sounds good :ayatollah:

how many overage players are you allowed to include in a development match?

Re: just back from the vale

Tue Oct 30, 2012 1:33 pm

id like to get a shirt signed ... how approachable are the players down there? i dont want to piss people off.

Re: just back from the vale

Tue Oct 30, 2012 1:35 pm

you are allowed 3 i think.

Would be good if frei got a run out as well.


Cheers for the update, really good. but are you trying to convince us that mcnaughton scored?? :shock: :lol:

Re: just back from the vale

Tue Oct 30, 2012 3:53 pm

sorry mate but I was there watching the boys train and frei was there training with the development squad on the pavilion pitch and kadeem Harris was training on his own down with the first team with a trainer

Re: just back from the vale

Tue Oct 30, 2012 3:59 pm

think you will find that it was frie working 1 to 1 not harris :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: just back from the vale

harris is a bit bigger in hieght and bulk :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: just back from the vale

Tue Oct 30, 2012 4:15 pm

No offence, but with Harris being black, wouldn't it be obvious to spot the clear difference? :lol:

Re: just back from the vale

Tue Oct 30, 2012 4:16 pm

no it was definitely kadeem Harris because I had frei autograph as he walked of the training pitch by the pavilion at 10.30

Re: just back from the vale

Tue Oct 30, 2012 4:59 pm

well they didnt start training untill 11 20ish down the bottom pitbches and i was there the lad frie was doing 1 on 1 all session and kadeem harris was not there the coluor of there skin is the same i think however i prefer not to use that .....i will be attonights game and if either of them are there i willask them who it was today :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
