Looks like connection isn't permitting .

 

[4-4-2]

I don't think Quorn FC even have an ISDN line to even do live commentary.

An ISDN line? Does anybody still have ISDN? It's the 21st century

Wasn't that the joke???

 

[Macky]

Wasn't that the joke???

Oh.

I see.

 

[The Major]

Won it (2-1 I think) according to FT.

Vitor came off injured after twenty minutes

Great stuff :icon_conf

 

[Hazzman]

What a pair of traino's Sousa's sporting (I have a pair but in grey/green/orange)

 

[dpjfox]

INJURED:icon_sad:

City then took the lead, after a good combination of power and precision by Chambers. Firstly he muscled Rod McDonald off the ball before slotting past Ollerenshaw in the Athletic goal.
Just after the hour Oldham were level via a set piece. A left wing corner was headed back across goal by Sean Gregan and turned home by Athletic number nine Chris Taylor.

But City were soon back in front via a delightful passing move. Craig King and Jorrin John combined to find Ashley Chambers who found the roof of the net.

City: Ambrusics, Lamey (O'Neill, 46), Vitor (Moore, 13), Parkes (c), Berner (Taft, 46), Milnes, Hicks, John, Verma, Chambers, C. King

Schlupp never made it off the bench as they wanted Lamey and Berner to have some game time. Vitor getting injured wasn't planned though

Respect to Aman Verma, played on tuesday night for about 20 mins then again 90mins last night, good game time for him. I liked to see him progress being a indian myself, nice to see a brown face in football now and then

I understand your point of view but I would rather he was at City on merit and not just as a "brown face". Ditto any other race or combination thereof. :icon_bigg :icon_wink

I agree, i feel he has some talent and Leicestershire is know for the increasing number of "Indians/Asians" so having someone who is a little decent and a brown or asian player will sell tickets to different Ethnic origins.

still hope he does well :icon_bigg

Where is Nicky Adams?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Where is Nicky Adams?

Didn't he go to Brentford?

 

[Harbro-Fox]

Where is Nicky Adams?

I was thinking that.

Maybe see Chambers given a chance in the first team, I swear he has been around for ages.

 

[Jeff]

That's because he's been around for ages. He made his debut in 2005.

 

[Mawsley]

Maybe see Chambers given a chance in the first team, I swear he has been around for ages.

And failed to impress every year?
