  • Chopper : I meant my left leg is dead
  • Chopper : The 1 that u clattered into Ian is ok mate, got red marks down it form your studs or shinpad or watever it was. My right leg is killin, its completeley dead.
  • the gaffer : Well done today players, that's the real Smithfield and you were robbrd of a deserved victory because of a ref's decision that was staggering in it's effect on the result
  • Cyrix : My knee is killing me btw Chopper... how are both your thighs? Sorry about that :mrgreen:
  • Cyrix : Well done today everyone... we made a good account of ourselves... even if we were conned by the ref. I think even the management will agree this time!!!
  • Cyrix : I agree mate, I think that's ridiculous
  • Fordy : «link»
  • Fordy : Ford looks at his future at the club - «link»
  • Cyrix : And Fordy's rating corrected for the previous game «link»
  • Cyrix : Player ratings up «link»
  • Tone : suspension quished due to excellent legal team. result of the season so far, great tactics gaffer :D
  • the gaffer : The case of Staffs FA v Bagnall to be televised live on ESPN
  • the gaffer : Bagnall assailant throws punches again despite suspension
  • the gaffer : Grange Park v Signalman abandoned after mass brawl
  • the gaffer : Park Inn fold so Prem teams go around again
  • Fordy : Prediction - Game will be off tomorrow!!! Walked the dogs this morning at 11 and Birchenwood was frozen solid. It's colder tonight as well!
  • Fordy : I've got no problem showing the same commitment, just won't come training for a few weeks!
  • the gaffer : Guys
  • the gaffer : you'll never be Mask < but take his workrate and commitment on Sunday as a benchmark and you may get close
  • Fordy : if I was mask, I'd be insulted!
  • Fordy : ...but dont forget "player", the ratings are linked to the persons ability, so does that mean that Mask played 8/10 of his ability?
  • Fordy : If we recall, how many times has this been said in the past, "its not the defence, its the whole team", this season, anything negative is the midfields fault...
  • Fordy : More importantly, can we not use the word guys in the shoutbox, its power gay!
  • Cyrix : Guys, can I just point out that major discussions should happen on the thread in the forum, as the shoutbox posts get deleted after a certain amount of time!
  • Tone : the ratings dont really give a performance rating more of a pointing of the finger. maybe its the management that need to be more vocal instead of just passing the book.
  • Tone : "Over run in the middle" yes this may well have happened once again and it was given to the sidelines attention on more than one occasion by myself and other team members during the game and at half time but took until about the 75min befor anything changed.
  • Tone : "Should be more vocal to prevent players being seemingly unmarked and less critical when the inevitable happens because they are". on each of sundays set pieces, as in every game, all of the opposition players were marked by not just me but other team members being "vocal" so how does this become a reason to point the blame at myself when the players lose their man and consequently score???
  • Fordy : ... You did however make a couple of mistakes, pushed one of the goals into your own net where I think you could have done better. Plus kicking was worst its been for a while, some kicks bounced just over the defence and got intercepted.
  • Fordy : Ian in regards to your performance. You did 2 double saves that were excellent. Cant fault those....
  • Fordy : should have bought Mask into midfield but anyone can come out with tactics in heinsight
  • Fordy : that lead to wingers being forced to mark full backs and offer no support to midfield or defence
  • Fordy : Theforwards did us no favours on Sunday, they are supposed to split the centre half and full back to stop them getting forward but just stood marking 1 person
  • Fordy : Tried but everyone was apparently marking. Not true but...
  • Fordy : p
  • the gaffer : Fordy maybe cus you'd lost your voice, it would have been easier to talk to the players around you regarding the 3 in middle overrunning us situation

Harry Potter Waves Magic Wand

November 19th, 2009 Cyrix No comments

In the knowledge that there wouldn’t be any sponsorship money this year the club were on the lookout for a new pub for next season, when a phone call from none other than Harry Potter turned the clubs future on its head. The Smithfield is under new management and the manager in to run the place is one-time Smithfield midfielder Chris ‘Harry Potter’, who waved his magic sausage wand on Sunday and provided the lads with the best spread in a long time. There was the usual chips and bread & butter, but new on the menu were sausages and curly fries.

In talks with the Smithfield ownership, Harry promises to do his best to secure the club some much-needed sponsorship money, arrange for some quiz nights again, and even put his feelers out for a race night next year.

Our hats off to Wayne Maxted, philanthropic Smithfield owner, for allowing all of this to happen.

Shoutbox Working

October 15th, 2009 Cyrix No comments

After much hard work and many hours the shoutbox is finally integrated into both the blog and the forum. To post you need to be logged in, and the same data is displayed wherever you are on the site.

I know you guys love it, so please make good use of it when we start playing some games and the site gets a bit more traffic (it’s like a ghost town at the moment).

I made a €10 donation to Pierre, the author of the shoutbox, because as well as the shoutbox being a cool and useful addition to the site anyway, he helped my fix a couple of issues that I was having that stopped me integrating the shoutbox into the forum. I hope the club funds can cover it!

Blog & Forum Living In Perfect Harmony

September 29th, 2009 Cyrix 3 comments

Well I have managed to get a plugin working for the site that allows synchronisation between the forum and the blog. This means when we post the Player Ratings on the blog a thread will be created in the forum and any comments made will be shared between the two.

I know you guys might find that a little geeky but this has taken me an age to get working and I feared I would not be able to surmount the issues I’ve been having getting the bloody things to communicate and kudos must go to this guy for putting me on the right track to enlightenment!

Even more kudos has to go to this forum for the technical solution to my ‘loopback connection’ problem!!!!!

TB Williamson Cup – 2nd Round vs Portobello Royal Oak

September 22nd, 2009 Cyrix No comments

After a comfortable 5-3 win against Duke of York in the first round of the Cup, the team we will face next is Portobello Royal Oak on Sunday 18th October.

They beat Bar NV 4-3 away from home. If my sources are correct Portobello play in the Wolverhampton & District Sunday Football League and after 2 matches they are rooted to the bottom of Division 2 with two away losses of 1-0 and 6-2.
