Do they matter in reality not really
I think the cause for concern is the margin of defeat and to who
With our new training facility and clubs like the mob from SW6 being completely mental in terms of signing anyone we should be looking to attract players who see us as good way to play 1st team football a stepping stone if you like I don’t have a problem saying stepping stone because we in the past have produced / bought players from lower league who have gone on to better things.
As long as we reap some financial reward I’d be happy for that to be our pitch to potential players and parents |

No idea mate but that’s what was put out in or around the WBA game
Could be anything as to how he got it I guess
Hope he gets back soon as I think we could play some decent football with him Dembele Saito, Andersen, Smyth off the bench etc |

Fair enough mate as I said it’s something I kind of struggle to get into it
Usually watch the first half of the Superbowl and that’s about it, went to a game with a mate at Spurs new ground but again just didn’t get into it
That said the doc I said about on Netflix for someone like me with no real affiliation I found really interesting definitely worth a watch |

So maybe in contention end of the month early October? |

Mate as I said for me it’s too stop start (my opinion)
Didn’t slag it off
The ball in football goes back in a lot quicker, yes obviously there’s time wasting which annoys everyone and we would like to see stamped out
No need to be obtuse |

American Football not my favourite sport to be honest just find it too stop /start
One thing I would say there’s a very good doc on Netflix if you like NFL called Receivers on Netflix
Decent watch |

It’s legalized ticket touting and is quite frankly a disgrace
I love going to Rangers one of favourite things to do had a season ticket for 15 odd years before I had kids but it’s not a cheap day out by the time I’ve paid for two tickets and train fares I’m in for nearly £80 before beers McDonald’s for P Block Junior etc
As others have said everything is getting more expensive but this dynamic pricing is a joke and should be stopped immediately |

Once won about £800 quid off a £2 quid acca it rolled to the Sunday and needed Arsenal to beat Leicester they battered them but couldn’t score but ultimately won 2-0 I think
Misses out on £4k off a similar bet as Celtic couldn’t beat Inverness Caley Thistle watched it in some absolute hole of a pub in Woolwich
Went to Sligo races with the Mrs as we were over to visit her family
She got chatting to the fella over the way from her Aunts about tips etc and honestly you’ve
Been em never seen anything like it
She was about £250 quid up going into the last race
I was running the bets and she told me to do £25 e/w on what appeared to be a 3 legged donkey at 40/1
Go to the bookie trackside ask to place my bets ets and he ors “Ah we’ve got Alfie from Eastenders”
All good fun place the bet and the nag only goes and bloody wins went to pick up the winnings

And the winner for Toys out of the Pram is…..
Come on it’s one game, disappointing, yes hugely but writing off a 19 year old kid who got an assist and was making if not his first starts one of his first few is ridiculous give the kid a break. He looks to have ability but playing Under 18’s and reserves it’s gonna take him time
Writing off a striker who has had hardly a break having played at The Euros, has moved to a new country is bedding in and got no service? Once again give him time. I remember a bloke near me proclaiming Austin would never make it at Rangers as long as he had a hole in his ar$e as he didn’t score in his first few league games. I hope the surgery for that gentleman was successful
If I’m 18 months you are correct and indeed he appears to be the b@st@rd love child of Bob Taylor and Adam Czerkas then please come back on and fill your boots |

Firstly Congrats mate
As a Parent the hours are lousy the pay is non existent but it is 100% the best job in the world
Lots of good advice already posted from me two things
Be kind to each other. There will be days when you are both running on empty , you’ve been at work the little un has not settled all day and the Mrs is a bit frazzled etc. Make her a cup of tea, takeover and tell her to go and have a shower have a lie down etc, don’t come in and say why isn’t the dishwasher stacked etc
That leads on to my 2nd point, if the house goes to a war zone for a few months while you find your feet, who cares? Rather than scrubbing the kitchen take that cuddle on the settee and just enjoy it those moments come and go too soon. If your friends and family have anything about them they won’t care last nights dinner hasn’t been cleared up
Honestly mate you and your Mrs know far more than you realize and I’m sure your little one will be proud to have you guys as her parents
You guys will smash it 👍 |

I have lived in and around Southend for over 30 years, since I was a kid and still live here now
The whole thing is a shambles with only one person culpable , Ron Martin. He makes Paladini look like a Saint
The whole new stadium thing has been in the offing for over 40 years the previous Chairman Vic Jobson announced he was gonna move the club yonks ago
Martin is a property developer and how he has accumulated his wealth is up for discussion shall we say
The club did brilliantly last year under Kevin Maher and without the points deduction and embargo would have made the play offs
The stadium makes Loftus Road look like the finest stadium in the world basically he took the ground away from the club put it in another company and then charged the club rent
The takeover has been ongoing for 8 months or so. A deal seemed to be close and then the council elections came the Tory bloke Cox got voted out and the new guy Cowan came in and ripped up what was proposed as it would have saddled the tax payer big time
The consortium have financed the club since agreeing the deal in October and have now said it needs to be done asap, Martin is running out of road but the club is in real danger
I’ve been to Southend many times down the years, took my boy to his first ever match there as a warm up to going to Rangers
Really hope they can get sorted |

Thread | Birthday message for my boy
at 10:46 24 Jun 2024
Just wondering if anyone had ever asked the club for a birthday message ( a kind of FaceTime thing) for their kids from the manager players etc
If so how did you go about it?
Any help appreciated
Cheers |

Agree if Eze has a release clause which has been touted then if it is met and he wants to go then he can
Also with Olisse seemingly on his way that may want Eze to leave even more |

Not sure size and scale of your firm but I have worked for big / mid tier firms for over 15 years
Usually 3 options
1) They book your travel for trains and any cabs from station need to be reclaimed via expenses with a receipt with line manager signing it off before going to Finance
2) You book all travel etc and claim via expenses
3) Company policy is set for petrol for example 50p per mile print out via route planner plus receipt from petrol station via expenses
Definitely chase up you shouldn’t be out of pocket
Good luck |

Reply | Leaving loftus road...
at 19:06 10 Jun 2024
I love and I mean love Loftus Road
When things have been going badly in my life I can go and spend two hours there, forget about everything and for that time nothing else matters
I can tell you who made the passes for certain goals I can recount obscure moments and I can give blow by blow accounts of random games I’ve watched
It was was, as others have said held up as the modern arena in the early 80’s concerts, Boxing etc
I love it and taking my boy was a proper proud dad moment
I’m 6”3 and leg room is sketchy the kiosks sell awful food and we are unable to
maximize revenues in other ways
I think at some point we will inevitably have to move but I hope the essence can be kept
30k tight to the pitch and not some soulless bowl
If that doesn’t happen has anyone thought about buying the houses behind Ellersille Road or the School or maybe just digging down? 🤔 |
