Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, July 23, 2007, 19:59:09 ........who we're allegedly playing in Austria would seem on the surface to be Italian, but can find no reference to such a side....wasn't Rodrigo a trialist from Portugal, who mysteriously disappeared last season.
The plot is thickening.....I noticed Adrian Ilie who plays for Jiul Petrosani is a bit of a football entrepreneur...he's recently acquired a Romanian side called Forex Braşov....and has property developments in Brasov. I've hated Austria since the Anschluss.....Kurt Waldheim and Toni Polster :fu: Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: herthab on Monday, July 23, 2007, 20:59:51 Just googled Rodrigo Brescia and come up with..................................................
Nothing. Maybe they're a pub side, or maybe it's an error an we're playing Brescia. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Monday, July 23, 2007, 22:50:48 rodrigo was from uraguay, i msn his cousin quite regularly.
ive hated austria since a weekend break in salzburg. stupid bitch. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: janaage on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 06:48:14 I hated Austria ever since in went to Vienna back in 97. Never been surrounded by so many miserable people as I was for those few days.

Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 08:43:54 I've nothing against Austria at all, except the distinctly average Germanic cuisine on offer when I visitied a few years back - as for Rodrigo Brescia? who?

SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 10:11:27 Maybe it's just Brescia who we're playing and the Rodrigo bit is a complete red herring. I think a lot of the Italian sides go up that way in the summer. That would be a decent fixture. They finished 10th in Serie B last season according to Wikipedia.
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: chrisser on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 11:25:23 The OS has corrected the spelling. It appears to be these guys who are playing in Serie C2, having been promoted from Serie D last season.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Rodengo_Saiano Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: janaage on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 11:35:02 Fair play Chris I was just looking up the correct team name myself.
Serie D last season - oh dear. Not that great a standard then. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: tans on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 11:38:27 isnt serie D like hellenic league standard? :?
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: chrisser on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 11:47:29 C1 has 2 regional divisions. Below that, C2 has 3 regional divisions, D has 9 regional leagues.
So the 3 C2 leagues would be equivalent of say Conference National, North and South, split on a regional basis. Teams promoted from D would probably compare with Bath and Chippenham So we should win even with the reserves out. The trialists won't be able to prove much against that standard of opposition though Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: tans on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 11:51:56 urmm, not much of workout though is out, i cant believe its all been left to the last minute orgainising these games, they couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Colin Todd on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 12:17:02 Does it really matter? They sound like they are better than Supermarie or Ciren
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 14:39:54 In the latest twist, according to the Adver, we're playing someone called VC Bad Ischl .....are you ready for this... VC apears to stand for Vespa Club, who seem to be an Austrian mod mob.
Someone somewhere is taking the piss. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 15:14:31 I think it should be SV Bad Ischl??
Here are some interesting facts on Bad Ischl the town/village (pop 14,000), looks nice from the pictures I found). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Ischl I see this as an 'extra' mix of a training session/game rather than a proper friendly..

Judging by the fact we won 4-0 with a team full of trialists, I'd imagine it was the mods we played.....always a Lambretta man myself. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 22:06:25 Another one of the trialists is a Portugueser winger called Hugo.
But it doesn’t sound like Sturrock is that overly impressed with the overall standard. In today’s BBC interview he mentioned that while the trialists are all technically adept he doesn’t know if they can adapt to the English game. It is starting to sound fairly likely that these investors are definitely agents of sorts. Title: Rodrigo Brescia...

I thought that managers generally didn't like playing friendlies against teams that they'll be playing in the season? Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 23:05:02 The Portuguese Fallon, Guima...
http://www.cdfeirense.pt/xsitev2/Ficheiros/imagens/Guima.JPG I wonder what will crop up in this foreign trial game shenanigans. King did a few just after the end of each season and never found anything other than a couple of French players Sabin’s agent brought over and that never came to anything. In fact Sabin’s agent played in one game and King ended up saying he was the best player on the pitch. Meh I need more rumours :D Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 00:20:42 Having random foreign trialists is always exiting. I think it's the prospect of somehow finding some crazy super player who those crazy foreign clubs have managed to overlook, or is desperate to play in England.
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 17:07:16 It appears to be 0-0 at half time against the cattenachio of the Eyeties whatever they're called.....sounds like a stunner.
:( lost 0-1. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 17:50:04 sounds like we played well though
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 17:55:02 Quote from: "Rich" sounds like we played well though But nooooooooooooo goals ;) Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 17:56:30 perhaps because we need some strikers :doh:
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 17:57:04 Quote from: "Dachauer" perhaps because we need some strikers :doh: Possibly. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 18:41:45 I'm not worried by the lack of goals. We scored 4 in the previous game and i'll only start worrying if we don't score when the season proper actually begins.
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 18:46:21 I'll be happy as long as we bring in at least one more striker prior to Northampton - Which will happen :|
:D Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: A Gent Orange on Friday, July 27, 2007, 09:05:00 Did you notice Peacock's first game of the tour was to come on up front for the last 30 mins? We might be seeing that a few more times between now and Northampton.
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Colin Todd on Friday, July 27, 2007, 10:33:14 He'll play up fornt v Northampton, mark my words.
Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, July 27, 2007, 13:25:15 I'm going to start saying semi-likely stuff with an authoritative sort of "it's going to happen" style comment afterwards. If I do it enough times then a few of them are bound to happen. Then I can do I told you so threads in a few months.
Go me. Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: herthab on Friday, July 27, 2007, 13:28:05 We'll win some games this season.
We'll lose some games this season. We'll draw some games this season. You heard it here first :D Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, July 27, 2007, 14:43:25 Thought this was quite interesting, report in the adver.
'The first real shot on goal came on 28 minutes when Roberts' right-wing cross was instictivbely fired wide by Spanish triallist Ivon Arrieta from the edge of the area' Sign him up, we need strikers that are going to instinctively miss the goal!! Title: Rodrigo Brescia... Post by: McLovin on Friday, July 27, 2007, 15:04:58 The goalfest continues...
