Training and thoughts after Sunday

Well what a disappointment Sunday was! We just didn't turn up, the majority of us were all still in bed.

We have to ask ourselves if we actually wanna win this league??? I know it's only sunday league but the attitude that was shown on sunday was that we didn't care. The majority of us rolled up 25 minutes late. We hadn't got the nets up and It was a rush to get 11 players on the pitch in time for kick off. We then put in a performance of a team that weren't focused and didn't want it. You just have to look at Metheringham, they travelled alot further than us and they arrived all for 10am and were so organised in everything they did. We need to do the same for the final few games.

We have 3 games left and to be honest I want this league title. It would be such a disappointment to come this far and come away with nothing. We have such a good side and if we apply ourselves for the last few games then we can put all the pressure on to Bardney!!!

3 wins in 3 games is essential, that's all we can do and that is in our own hands! That would leave Bardney having to win all 8 games which is a big ask.

So all I'm asking for is everyone to pull together as a team, put one big final effort in and try to replicate our early season form as I don't feel apart from Rasen at home apart that we have performed in quite a while. I will be handing out £1 fines to anyone turning up late in future to avoid the embarrassment of Sunday again.

We don't have a game this sunday as Monks Road are in the cup. but we have Brown Cow at home on the 12th April and Evolution on the 19th April with the Monks road game still to be arranged and it will be a midweek game.

Come on boy's lets get the team spirit back and do the best we can to win this league.

Training will be on Wednesday 7:30-8:30 at the uni and We will have a training session on Sunday at our home ground 11am. I want as big a turn out as possible, let's show we want this boys.

Inspiration from my pal Al Pacino...

This is the inspiration we need!

I don't know what to say really.
Three minutes
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either
we heal
as a team
or we are going to crumble.
Inch by inch
play by play
till we're finished.
We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me
and
we can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of us
or
we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.
I'm too old.
I look around and I see these young faces
and I think
I mean
I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.
I uh....
I pissed away all my money
believe it or not.
I chased off
anyone who has ever loved me.
And lately,
I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That's, that's part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is football.
Because in either game
life or football
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.
That's football guys.
That's all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?
