Scunny Match Thread

Bragging rights? Kick started Scunnys season? No, it's a nothing game in a nothing competition. Let Scunnys worry about Scunnys while we rotate our squad playing Saturday Tuesday Saturday Tuesday for the foreseeable saving our best players for the games that matter.

If I had to endure the lame banter of a Scunt bestowing his bragging rights at work tomorrow I'd simply laugh in his face.

Quoted from Grimbiggs

This was a golden opportunity for the likes of Cardwell, Wright , Vernam and Rose, and overall they were all very poor, none of them look like challenging for a first team start...as for the youngsters Starbuck grow into the game, and looks promising...a game nobody really cared about, but it's kick-started Scunny's season...UTM

Agree. These 4 were very poor and considering that they are on the fringe of the first team left me very disappointed. From what I saw on the night Vernham and Cardwell don't see what's going on around them. Rose clearly wasn't fit and seemed injured after every tackle and Wright was knocked off the ball too easily. Don't think anything positive was gained from this game-it could have been used in a completely different way but instead was a complete waste of time.

It wasn't a waste of time at all. It gave the main 11 a rest. Simple as that. It also gave MJ a chance to see the others and it also have 5 graduates a chance to grace the pitch.

I've been on the scunts Facebook page to have a chuckle at them over reacting to last night's result. Christ, you'd think they'd win league.

That aside, the funniest thing is they're all going on about having a UTI. God knows what they've all been doing to have Urinary Tract Infections, I can only assume its to do with everyone taking the urine out of them.

So you are for this competition then ?

Quoted from GollyGTFC

Just checked the rule and you are supposed to select 4 "qualifying" outfield players.



7.4.1 - Hewitt
7.4.4 - Ring
7.4.5 - Gibson & Robson

I think that makes up the 4.

Would Ring's games in Sweden count towards forty?    I think Russell will count for that criteria though.

Either way, good to see Jolley treating the competition as nothing more than an opportunity to give fringe players/young lads a run out but no real concern for the result.

Having watched that last night, got say I cant see Vernam or Cardwell having much of a career in league football. I can pass and finish better than both of them. Ring and Pollock played well and Starbuck did OK for a youngster. The rest were ok but I suppose if nearly everyone around you is also inexperienced at first team level or unfit its harder for them all.

Just returning from being out injured..... maybe both physically and psychologically he wasn't ever going to be a major influencer last night

What sort of reception did PH get last night?

If the extended highlights were the best moments the edited bits must have been dross. Context is key and I would not judge too much from what was a cross between a preseason friendly and a training session. They might as well have played in bibs. I listened to the commentary but that sounded like a matey RH session at Docks Beers. Some of Tom Newey's contributions were useful as he knows both clubs. Just a sideshow.
