Quoted from davmariner


The testimonial is probably contractual rather than a goodwill gesture from the club. We’re talking about a player who has given us over 10 years of service, who has turned down lucrative contracts elsewhere to stay and help the club back to where it should be.

Of course, that doesn’t guarantee that anyone should play, but in a dead rubber game ahead of the play offs, when a player is likely leaving - then why not give him a final run out? Do you really think Battersby is going to learn much by picking the ball out of the net repeatedly playing in a weakened team?


It probably wasn't that lucrative lol. He also decided to stay due to his family over the club, his wife didn't want to move and his kids have settled in the area and would have to leave their school and friends. It had nothing to do with wanting to help the club, he more or less stayed to see us relegated back down with him as first choice keeper.

Im sure the mckeown situation isnt as dramatised as some think and like many players who perhaps havnt got the perfect send off or ones whove become manager and then been sacked, he'll be welcomed back any time and applauded any time he returns

I’m watching West Ham v Citeh on the telly.
Trying to suss out where best to get my ticket for the final. 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Well at the moment the only keeper picking the ball out of the back of the net is the Eastleigh one.
