Re: last nights reserve game
I was talking to this bloke at half time, he said he was a manager for a Sunday league team in Congleton. The Young Portugese lad he brought with him lives in Macclesfield, he came over to England 18 months ago with his parents and speaks excellent English. He had a trial with Macclesfield who were very impressed, he didn't like the set up so never went back.
The young lad came on as a second half sub, his first touch of the ball was a fierce drive that hit the angle of the goal, A mighty impressive shot subsiquent shots were hit hard and staight. He was also very busy and made himself availiable for many passes.
I was quite impressed, and hope the club invite him back for a proper look.
Rochdale also had a man sent off in the second half for two yellows.
for much of the first half and about twenty minutes of the second half, there was a young lad in front of me giving the Rochdale goalie some stick and abuse, after he left another young lad came over wearing a similar top. When we got the penalty Whalleys attempt was saved then the follow up was also well saved, before the young Portugese lad knocked the ball in. A guy next to me said "well done 'keeper for the 2 saves" the 'keeper turned round, and said well it shut that little so and so up, looking at the young lad next to me. The young lad was mortified, he hadn't a clue what that was for. I explained that another yougster had been giving the goalie some stick earlier, to which he replied "what was he doing with a stick". Further explanations satisfied the young lad and he went away happy. The joy of innocence.
