Anybody see that "Ripping Yarns" episode with Micheal Palin a few years ago?
In it he was so pi$$ed off with his local football team losing,he recruited all the old hands to come back.
Knocker Norton,Charlie Stone,Dane O` Hara anyone.?

Yea! I was thinking about that yesterday! he used to go home and smash the house up everytime his team lost. Then when they finally won he smashed it up in celebration!! classic! |

| Quote ChrisH="ChrisH"Richard Agar League weekly 08/09/08 after a hiding by KR
"The one positive to come out of today is it is the end of the season for us. I am probably struggling to find the right adjective to describe today. We have put enough excuses up for them this year but I think some things are inexcusable. Today probably summed up a little bit of what we've been about this year , not good enough, indisciplined and weak at times. Unfortunately you don't get two points for training sessions; you get two points for turning up and putting the effort in on a weekend. You might say they had a tough week last week , they did but we were too easily , readily to fall behind that excuse. It was unfortunate for Matt Sing that he has to go out in a game like that today. It's unfortunate because his effort and committment throughout his time at our club and throughout his career has never been doubted.
We are going to have a look at the squad. We will certainly be taking a long hard look at our squad and the depth of it and quality of it. It is very difficult at this time of year with the market but I think some blokes have probably had their last chance."
The team
Hall , Sing, G Horne, Yeaman , Raynor, Washbrook , Webster, Dowes , Berrigan , Cusack , Manu , Tickle , Radford , Subs , Houghton , Lee , Thackray, Burnett.
Well Hall's in Widnes , Sing retired ( it wasn't his fault anyway according to Agar) and Webster doesn't count.
The rest , they're all still here one season on. What a waste of a year. What a stupid coach.
AND Whiting and Moa weren't involved last year. Houghton was sub. Those three arguably our best players against Leeds couldn't get in front of those who'd had their last chances a year a year ago against Cas!!!!!!!!!

 WoW , What a post. I would love someone from the club to reply to this one !!!  |

'" I don't think we should be allowed to mention such hallowed names as those FC greats on here anymore, it just makes me so depressed. Suffice to say the current crop aren't fit to lace their boots. |

Sorry mate,you are right,but at least they were worth the effort to turn out to watch,unlike this current crop of wasters. |

and of course Charlie Birdseed ... £4000 from Rochdale IIRC , a good ball player and tackler and kicked a few goals. What a bargain he was. |

TBF, he made a comment after a derby defeat were we were outplayed and he was embarassed. Given the time again he probably wouldn't dream if saying it. This time however he has the means at his disposal ie. Spare cap space to release and contracts coming to an end.

good first post, just a comment on it. there was no real timescale put on what he said. he maybe identified that some players had had their last chance but was unable to do anything because of details in their contracts at that time, and indeed may have been stopped by people higher up at the club. Surely at the end of this season he will have more chance to do something, we have already seen some more positive recruitment......
now we need to see more positive terminations
