Posted by Liam Carroll on May 8, 2008, 11:55 am, in reply to "Farewell Creedy"
A big congratulations to Creedy & the lads for a great season - roll-on next year!
A special thanks must go to the Gaffer for commitment, over-moaning as usual & sometimes patience shown with all players (including us angry players swearing at him while amongst the battle - no offence!). Well done mate.
Pre-season starts at Shotover on the 1st June, with a gradual build-up from walking the dog to a gentle-jog down one of the hills & ending with a game of `tig` to cool-down!
Next stage will be to try 2 hills, then 3, etc... our target should be 10 hills by end of July-ish!
DIET;
As I know only too well, your nutritional diet through the summer months must reach new heights (including you Creedy).
SIMPLE PLAN;
Breakfast - Joe`s Brekkie in Summertown £10 all in.
Lunch - Tesco or Sainsbury`s jacket potato £5 including salad, coleslaw & cheese or tuna.
Dinner - whatever the missus cooks you or salad or local takeaway at weekends.
oh I forgot... lots of still water in between & lots of falling-down water also at weekends.YOUR FOCUS ON THIS IS PARAMOUNT!
SOCIAL PLAN;
1 - OCFC club presentation night 9th May (apologies I can`t make it due to my French Scouting Mission - Holdy can you accept my award & sort the satellite link for Sky?).
2 - Newbury Races cup final day 17th May (Eddie`s birthday).
3 - Dogs Evening 31st May (that`s greyhounds Creedy).
4 - And any Thursday night through the summer in the White Hart Wolvercote for `drinks` with me & the locals (board games now available too...).
Also best wishes & thank you to our travelling army of pensioners who have been magnificent all season.
YOU ARE A CREDIT TO THE FOOTBALL CLUB!
Have a great summer,
Liam `bad day at the office yesterday` Carroll.

: The boys finished the season with a 4-0 win
: away to 2nd placed Chinnor, meaning that we
: have gone through the whole season with a
: 100% win record. Chinnor's squad included
: ex Thame Boys Richard Carr & Denis
: Gascoyne, who had got a flight back in his
: private jet after running the New York
: Marathon in a gorilla suit only 24 hours
: before. That's commitment for you. Also
: good to see my old mate, Leigh Bloomfield on
: the bench. He asked me not to mention his
: penalty miss, that cost Chinnor over 40's a
: final place??? So I won't.
: The first half was a niggly affair with
: both sets of players getting involved in
: over the top chalenges and handbags at 2
: paces. Who says you get calmer the older
: you get???
: Fleety kept City in the game with a couple
: of vital saves. Marco had to change from
: his flip flops after 10 minutes, after
: falling over with no-one around him.
: Rodders broke the vets league record of
: getting booked after only 10 seconds of
: coming on as sub. The challenge was so
: late, it was into tomorrow. Liam joined him
: into the note book with a tackle that said,
: "Thank god we've got a few month's
: break, roll on the Summer". While this
: was all going on Denis & Bradders were
: arguing over who was the best looking.
: Denis won this hands down as he stated that
: he does not dye his hair yet? Julio scored
: the only goal of the 1st half, when shooting
: into an empty net from 30 yards, after a
: goalkeeping error. Why couldn't that have
: fell to me??? We all went in at half time
: for a cold shower to calm us all down.
: Creedy changed the formation round for the
: second half, and it paid dividends with City
: going back to there football that they have
: been playing all season. 10 minutes into
: the 2nd half & Marco swanned in, like he
: swanned out of the Chequers pub on Sunday,
: to lift the ball over the keeper and put us
: 2 up. Then 2 more were added in the last 10
: minutes one from Julian Dark after an
: unselfish pass from myself. Why did I do
: that? Julio - TAKE NOTE. Clarkey got
: the last with an excellent free kick that
: sailed into the top corner. I'm sure I got
: a touch on it before it went in???
: Carr'y upset our travelling Shed Army by
: going through the back of Julio in the dying
: minutes. I had nothing to do with it,
: Jules? The cheque is in the post Carr'y.
: FINAL SCORE 4-0, and Jules done me for the
: league's top goalscorer. Well done mate.
: Creedy shed a tear in the changing room
: after the game, going around saying his
: farewells to each member of the squad.
: Myself and Julian Dark will be taking over
: next season. How can we compete with
: Creedy's record. We will give it our best
: shot, but we've got to keep this going.
: There will be changes for next season.
: Players will have to be released in the
: summer. Players will be added to the squad
: in certain positions to keep a few of you on
: your toes. Some players have also been
: given a weight target to reach by the start
: of next season or they also will be OUT.
: You know who you are, lads??? Bradders
: needs to put weight on, and get a few more
: wrinkles, as he is looking out of place in
: the team.
: A couple of beers (I'm still waiting, Denis)
: in the bar and the usual banter, and it was
: off home for a horlicks and a well earned
: rest. Marco went straight off to Homebase
: to spend his vouchers that he got on Sunday
: night. Me, Bradders & Liam went for a
: late beer in the Chequers, and saw a picture
: of Creedy on the pubwatch notice board.
: Creedy went home to spend some much earned
: family time.
: Thanks to all the committee who have
: supported us all this season & also to
: the SHED ARMY, who have followed us all
: season. Sorry, don't know all your names,
: but you know who you are.
:
: Team last night: Fleet, Carroll, Dark,
: Jennings, O'Hara, Bowley, Bradbury, R
: Barresi, Orlando, Holden, J Baressi. Subs:
: Clarke, Smy, Rodney.
:
: See you all next season, when we get another
: year older.
