possesion

  1. Tangled up in Blue

    Drugs."Small amounts of possesion should not be a crime" report states

  2. Hoofball , Longball or Play like Barcelona

    A wee birdie told me that there has been a lot of discussion in the coaches room about the comments on this forum about the style of football we are playing.And can assure all the supporters who have debated this topic even the half dozen Sturrock bashers that at no time in any club that the...

  3. Two wingers

    Now that we seem to have two wingers worthy of the name, could we afford to play both wide players, espcially if clubs come here and play five in the middle with only one up front, my thinking is its possible we could be slightly outguned with only two central midfielders. Personally id like to...

    We Need Better Coaching

    Southend have once again showed various instances of fight, several instances of actually looking good; movement, passing, runs.. but what is ALWAYS lacking is the final product. whether that be greediness, inability to pass and move, get into a good position to help us keep possesion, or even...

Although stealing lighters is despicable and morally wrong, it is always going to happen whether it be an accident or you're going all out to steal it.So I have written the OFFICIAL rules of stealing lighters so we all have a...

  7. Banning Orders

    Just read an article on the BBC regarding banning orders and notied that there are currently 8 Southend fans which have been banned fom attending football lleague games. This is well short of the likes of Cariff, Leeds Millwall etc but is still disapointing. Does anyone know any of the muppets...

    Would you believe it??

    Matt Harrold getting a standing ovation at Roots Hall was something i never thought i'd witness and after getting sent off too!! If this lad is prepared to put that much effort into a game and combined with that level of skill maybe we ought to be using him a bit better than we do. People...

  10. My Observations

    Being at Uni, my only Southend outing since September was Forest away which wasn't a particularly good performance aside from Leon's red card, but my obersvations today were: No creativity Without Bailey/Gower, we really are incredibly uncreative. Black gets dragged in too central, Maher has...

    Shrimpers Branch - Mekele, Ethiopia *UPDATE*

    Since I left Tigray in Northern Ethiopia it seems the Shimpers branch over there has grown. I went to Dublin this weekend to do some planning for the future of the streetchildren project and met up with some other volunteers who have been out there more recently that me. John knew all the about...

  12. JCR, The cristiano ronaldo of the lower leagues

    Sounds silly at first but think about it. Both were bought into their Clubs with lots of potential. However they both used this potentional to do pointless showboating and taking players on without really influencing a game. However this season has seen a change in both. They don't loose...

  13. Just got back....

    In one word, scrappy. Too many times we gave the ball away with sloppy passes or hopeful hoofs upfield. However when we managed to retain possesion we looked very capable of doing something with it. Great 2nd half display lots of grit and determination. I will leave a proper match report to the...

    A bad day at the office - Brum - an overview

    First the most obvious question - how can we draw with a full strength Tottenham side for nearly 120 mins and then lose days later to Birmingham so convincingly? When youre playing the team at the top of the table, after 120 gruelling minutes just days before what do you really need? A ****...

    great second half performance

    McCormack, what inspirational signing.. would give him 9/10, for the performance.. barrett came good as well, sodje strong as ever.. gower not too good, eastwood got about, but no killer instinct.. flavs didn't have a great amount to do, and i thought hooper played well.. JCR not so...

    Flavs 7 one good stop, not a lot to do but confident Hammel 7 Worth his place just on the corners, better than Maher's loopers Francis 8 best game so far, Hunty wouldn't have been impressed Sodje 8 imposing and strong at the back Gower 8 up for it and creative JCR 9 1st half 6 for the...

    Flavs 5 uncharacteristic early **** up, no time to desert him. Hammel 6 worth his place on set pieces alone Hunt 6 bit lost at times but done o.k Sodje 6 don't like his hoof ball but need his strength in the air Prior 8 may not have the legs but his experience is invaluable Clarke 1 this is...

    Flavs 6 possibly could have done better with 1st Hammel 9 much better tonight, good distribution and great corners and goal Barratt 8 usual commited display, absolute rock. Clarke 4 poor distribution and not good at heading, can't wait to get Sodje back Francis 8 quality and strong, just get...
