Banter?...
What a pleasure it was last night to be part of a wonderful & enjoyable fun atmosphere that simply is second to none.
I really did enjoy playing Liam jnr. at Fifa 07 on the playstation before the Milton game - brilliant!
Anyway, about last night`s game...
I thought Milton battled from start to finish on a very cold evening and it was great to see Paul `Evo` Evans (my hero at Abingdon United when I was a kid) & Avram `Macca` Grant taking a break from his synagogue duties in North London to manage their team in such a constructive, vocal manner - now there`s a man who appreciates no-need for swearing in football!!!
It was obvious he`d learnt everything from me on our Level 2 Coaching Course!
Also, well done to Robbie McNeill in midfield for trying to `connect` with Mark O`Hara on so many occasions.Fleety & I were not happy with him and we made sure we had a `quiet word` at half-time to give him advice on how to kick him and would it help if a financial incentive (Creedy check my spelling for me) was made available?
Well done to Milton...
A special praise also to Jools Darky for leaving his front door open at home & trying to `poison his eyes` before the game, Fonty for resisting the temptation of a 7-day approach from Clanfield Supporters Club, Mark O for his tent shop clothes and climbing Kilamanjaro that morning, Phil McRodney for his Ruper the Bear scarf & great crocodile shoes, Tim`s wife Caterina for not giving birth yet as I can`t make the booze-up this weekend and Holdy for the funniest / shortest fitness test I`ve ever seen in the history of football & his strategic / patient 2nd half substitutions.
Watch out Gaffer, he clearly has a future in football management!
Oh, forgot to say...great football aswell!
Well done lads & keep it going.
Regards,
Liam `Hamstrung` Carroll.

: This game was a pleasure to watch.
: City were 3-1 in front at half time and
: despite having Milton penned back for long
: periods were always made to work by a very
: workman like Milton who continued to play
: good football against a flowing Oxford City.
: A fine hat trick in the first half by Phil
: Rodney paved the way. It is difficult to
: comment on all the players who contributed
: to this fine effort. So the squad list will
: have to suffice:
: Colin Fleet, Paul Creed, Mark o'Hara, Mark
: Orlando, Mark Jennings, Dave Watson, Tim
: Bowley, Chris Fonteine, Stewart Clark, Phil
: Rodney, Julio Baresi, Liam Carroll, Julian
: Dark, Martin Smy
