Question Would you play for Col Ewe?

[rararblue]

I'd definitely play for them. But then again, I'm 68, been really ill lately and have been struggling! Adding all that to their starting line should shoot them to the National League!

I would rather **** in my hands and clap.

Yes it’s a wage, if they checked the data of 8 own goals in a season. Think their laptop analysing my data would go “ warning Will Robinson”. Sorry old gits humour

For 300k a week, absolutely . For 2-3 k no chance

I have just re listened to BBC Essex post match programme on BBC Sounds App.
New Year’s Day programme.
Jack Payne was interviewed by Neil Kelly.
It made me think, would I sign for Col Ewe after the only team in Essex!
My answer is No Way Pal! Could not bring myself to do it.
What do you think??

Payne is an embarrassment doing a Sol Campbell, running around in that Tesco shirt. Agree with you Smudger, anyone but them

 

[Booma]

Yes, it’s a job and I’ve got a mortgage. Would I enjoy it and truly “play for the shirt”, no

Thing is, we're all posting within the context of being fans. Professional footballers are in a bubble and have a different mindset; as others have said, there are many players who ardently supported teams but once turning pro this loyalty waned because they had a job to do.

how many players have actually done it? Ben Coker, Roy McDonough, Steve McGavin to mention but a few

Depends how far back you want to go, loads of players have moved from Southend to Colchester and vice versa. There is a Wiki page called the Essex Derby which lists some of them but there are lots more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_derby

No very true, but my memory needs a jog sometimes these days!
