JUST PLAYED IN MY 2ND VETS GAME AT THE WEEKEND AND DIDNT REALISE HOW PHYSICAL THIS TYPE OF FOOTY WOULD BE!!!! I WAS EXPECTING A BIT OF A STROLL AROUND ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH SOME OLD MATES BUT I HOBBLED OFF THE BUS NURSING 3 SEPERATE KNOCKS,ONE A DEAD LEG,ANOTHER WAS STUDS DOWN THE ANKLE AND THE OTHER STARTED AT MY KNEE AND WENT HALF WAY DOWN MY SHIN...... ARE ALL GAMES LIKELY TO BE LIKE THIS? IF SO I MIGHT INVEST IN SOME CRICKET PADS AND A BOX!!!!!

From what i've noticed with training/playing with older players they are all hell bent on proving they can still cut it and get quite aggressive. Also, that 90 minutes every 2 weeks is their only chance to escape the wife and kids and let out a bit of built up anger. You can't blame em really, Wife nagging you all week, Kids screaming down you ear and then Eagle robbing you of the ball every touch you get.

Yeah! i quite enjoyed listening to your continental looking keeper! he couldn't have had a lot to do coz he spent most his time commentating on your game and watching ours! Good to see you on here Mr J!
