Fuck yeah!

6-0 win with Jordan Messi scoring 3, and Jayden Ronaldo with the other 3. Harry Pirlo with all 6 assists, and Freddie Buffon with the clean sheet.

1-0 Town win with Obika scoring.

Miles Storey will score 78, and re-open the age old debate of why we let him go (when he goes).

5-2 win with Belford netting a brace

7-1. With a hat-trick from some guy whose name I wont be able to pronounce.

Would appreciate some updates tonight on this thread...  I'm in Prague sweating my nuts off for work, so this is my only sauce..

Low scoring win or a generally negative result. Mild panic by the usual suspects across social media.

...enter the small gang of knee-jerkers...

Will BBC Wiltshire be offering commentary on this?

Only in sign language.

I'm going to this, more through boredom than anything else. I expect to be wondering who 75% of our team is. I'll also probably be really impressed with one trialist, who we'll never see, or hear, about again.

0-0

This, though it won't be a mild panic.

At least I hope not, given that I'm not going it's all I've got to look forward to.

By mild panic, I meant just a handful of the usual knee-jerkers. The majority wouldn't care either way... hopefully.

we never do well in these games. it's not the point of them. most people realise this

4231 tonight, prefer that to 352

The town team news is there is no town team news.

Well obviously, but I think you're wildly optimistic. More like 479 + Kerry's greyhound, in his absence.

Supermarine are winning.

Twitter will be fucking amazing if we lose.

1-0 marine. started after branco misplaced pass gave them a throw, but that was only the start. keeper failed to claim ball from corner shortly after, nearly saved shot but they trapped in

typical friendly so far, #6 defender looks OK. #4 lively but not worth the rave reviews he's getting from to my right. impossible to tell much more.

Thanks for a few updates Batch, they are appreciated.

who is in goal for us?

Dan Lincoln (ex-Reading)

half time

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 :toocool:

not much more to report really. plenty of possession, not created too much. our mid #21 looks off the pace, not impressed with fwd #20 either. mid #4 looks willing to try and get and play the ball. def #6 looks OK, but hadn't been tested too much.

marine has a chance with s long bal that the keeper just got too.

hard to judge anyone really in a half against marine.

BOO has looked OK, about Thompson sized playing on the left.

A Half-Time marriage proposal on the pitch?

Truly, the perfect occasion.

Town team: Lincoln; Barry, Branco, Sendles-White, Ormonde-Ottewile; Commock, Kasim, Traore; Randall, Obika, Hylton.

lucky girl.

I am still clinging to the forlorn hope that you might be joking.

just realised #21 was will randle

Was there rapturous applause from the other 231 people in the ground?

he isn't. it really happened.

I think she probably is too.

this game does not even exist according to the OS

It's a step up from half time on Hackney marshes on a Sunday morning...... Just.

It does on fan sly.

1 1, cross from storey, put in by smith. suspicion of offside in my mind on the ball out to miles

Is that Gareth Barry? :-[

#23 missed a sitter, looks a bit of a comedy trialist to me too. assuming he is a trialist that is !

1-1

super marinemiss sitter. hopper has looked very lively and powered a cross in, but the shot was fire over from close range

Commock seems to be the only surprise name there. Anyone got anything on him? (Her?)

ooh wait #23 is cooke. not match fit yet :)

Sanchez Commock was mentioned a month back. Plays for Highmoor Ibis.

if commock is #14 he's shown a few nice touches/passes.

no it's not him, just realised you posted 1st half team

another goal from a corner. initial shot saved, powered home by Sam morris. 2-1 marine

Booo Cooper out ;)

Corrected for social media.

:D

Paaaaaaaniiccccc!

Great win for supermarine mind, fair play to em

Cheers. I remember now. Was he the one that sent me to parts of the urban dictionary I wish I'd never seen?

I went to school with the Highmoor Ibis manager Marcus Richardson.

Damn, I feel old!

Just home. Typical pre-season friendly. Passed it around a lot, didn't create much in the first half.

Looked more lively in the second. The bulked up Story added some pace down the right and looked good, then the other Story appeared as he did too much and kept running into trouble.

I'd love to write a more worthwhile report, but as I didn't recognise our own players I doubt wobbling on about trialists I don't recognise is going to be much help. I thought #4, #6 and #14 may be worth another run out. But what do I know.

Trouble with this game is there was no first team to put out there, so can't even give any relevant insight into that (Kassim, BOO and Smith did OK)

Hopefully the Liverpool trio are signed up before the Everton game so we can treat the match as a decent warm-up.

Still think we need a few permanent players .

You reckon?  ;)

Just a hunch I'm playing.

Enjoyed that. I lived the high life today as guest of match sponsors. Cooper looked very relaxed and had a word for everyone. Power turned up with what must have been agents. Very friendly and informal people at supermarine. On the pitch fuck knows. Lots of players I didn't know. Supermarine looked pretty good. I can't remember the friendly being played this early before. We've got a month now to get it together. I'm confident we will be ready

What was the word? Fuckers? ;)
