I hear he is starting up one of them there Football academy/soccer schools/centre of excellence/money making schemes,  based at Supermarine.
Hope its better than the shower of shit that ooooo Shaun Taylor was (briefly) involved with a few years back.

He needs to work on his idioms.

I've never been there, isn't their setup quite decent?

Dave hockaday set up the cirencester academy years ago. Other colleges followed suit and they basically play the level below our youth's. Was a big player in Watford's youth set up after that.
He deserves more credit and respect than he gets.

That shower Shaun Taylor was involved with told kids they were good when they weren't. I remember they played my son's age group and were terrible.
Never saw any of their boys get a trial despite them saying they were a stepping stone into stfc. It's a bit like these other ads you see saying they can get you trials. It's a con.

Presuming you are talking of Supermarines set up,have not been there for a while meself.
They are in the finishing stages of having a covered 3g training pitch and other top notch training facillities(spolling)
Perhaps Lee Power could learn something from Jes Webb.

I revel in our ex-players commentating. They feel the match rather than just being objective. Still attached. Funny old game, football.

taking the lad to the new 3g pitch for tomorrow morning, doubt there is much to report back though..

He's still shit at idioms.

I wanted to tell him to fuck the right off every time he said 'Gillingham started like a house on fire'

FUCK OFF DAVE

I like drunk Flashheart.

I do agree - and I only listened to a small portion of the commentary! He kept making jokes about hair too which really didn't work on the radio.
Bring back super Sam please!

Haha I laughed at that - didn't he make some comment about him and Dack going to the same barber? NOBODY CAN SEE EITHER OF YOU DAVE, THE JOKE DOESN'T WORK.

The wind was so strong that it was trying to blow his hair off

He was rather scathing about some player's haircut

I can't remember who and I honestly don't care

Ells, is there a name for a psychological hair fixation?

I thought his comments at Blackpool were sound - obviously critical about Town's inability to defend properly and repeating the same mistakes, but saying it in a way that was not overly harsh, which probably reflects why he is respected as a coach of young players.

Trichophilia ;)

How could I doubt you?

 :D

Trichophilia would be better described as a "hair fetish", which some people have, but I imagine that's different to an obsession with ones own hair, which would fall into the realm of dysmorphia/trichotillomania and things that aren't very funny. I would suggest the technical definition for someone who is obsessed with their hair in any other way is what is posh sciencey people call "vain" :)

Narchairsistic

chair fetishist?  or Wycombe fan?

Hi All, thought i could provide a little info here. The pitch going up at Supermarine known as the 'Swindome' is an incredible facility. The pitch is the best standard in the country at present. Iv met Hockaday a few times at Supermarine and he's actually a really nice Guy despite being northern. I think hell do a very good job of his academy there and hopefully he could provide players that could feed into our system too! Maybe LP could learn something from Jez . . . . . . .

autotrichomaniac?

my son used a "swindome"  3g pitch Sunday morning, it's nice. 3x5/6 a side pitches or (I think) 1 x 9 a side. they are just building the changing rooms/offices/gym/viewing gallery.
