Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Maidenhead, Tuesday 19th September, 19:45ko, NL

[Shrimpergonzo]

So Bentley, Maher and Currie are playing tonight?

Er, no!

My point was you can only have a certain number of players registered - doesn’t matter if they are already employed by the club and aged 16 or 60 - they can’t be registered to play.

I get that - but many a true word spoken in jest ……

Rush keeper?

Na he left years ago.

Love to see Stan play, looking quite lean & mean from his recent Twitter videos.

Even at 52 I bet he’d still give 20 minutes of Hell to non league defences against tired legs towards the end of a game.

So we get tanked on Saturday, cop two red cards and even more injuries yet the 3 amigos are sure they can turn out a team for Maidenhead. That is nothing short of amazing and it absolutely deserves my full support for the full 90 minutes, which they will get. You will gather from that, that I am totally against any protest that gets the game abandoned. I don't have, and have never had, any difficulty with protesting, but please let's not **** up this game by going on the pitch or forcing the ref to abandon it. That will just cost us another points penalty and those players just don't deserve that.

Ordinarily I would agree but when we get to a point where we can't even put out a team because of a year long embargo and are just 10 odd days from the end, then that rule book goes out of the window.

Maidenhead are garbage and will only get points because of our situation. If they go a few goals up tonight, I can see it being too much for a quite a few people. The same if we get some very poor officiating as per Saturday etc.

I really hope you're wrong Tommy. If we get a further points penalty it's the team that suffers, not the rat, he's past caring on that front.

It was okay for 77 years !

Or it wasn't ok for 77 years!

Whilst I totally agree RHB, we have to take into account there are many fans that are also past caring about this leagues rules and penalties against not only the rat but us innocent fans,people do what people do, I just hope some don’t go to far.UTB

Hoping not to leave any DNA this time?

I don’t think they’ll be to many away supporters tonight.

Come on you Shrimpers

 

[stewart]

If Colin is injured i believe we are allowed a replacement GK to cover for that until he is fit again. David De Gea is a free agent ,he has plenty of money so the wage wont bother him too much , but being able to play for a couple of weeks will keep his fitness up , Hope Kev and Co been in touch with him ,lol , he will go down in folklore should he accept .

Poor name choice considering the chants tonight

Poor name choice considering the chants tonight

"Martin In" -- No-- "Martin Out" --- a bit confusing.
