We had another behind closed doors friendly on Monday. Lost 0-2 to Rangers.

I'm not that familiar with Rangers' squad but I'm told it was their u/23's plus two or three others they wanted to have a look at. It wasn't originally planned as a BCD game but it was changed to one due to the inclusion of these 'secret' trialists.

All a tad tinpot on their part I reckon. Unless one of the secret footballers was Messi or Pogba?!?

Beaten Fleetwood 1-0 at VP tonight. Sounds like a useful workout for both teams. Amoo on the scoresheet as well again so nice start for him as much as you can read into these games.

Stunning goal as well apparently.

Good effort tonight against a decent side.

 

[Chris FGR]

Yate 1-6 FGR. 1-1 ht, ran riot second half.

Goals from Collins, Wiliams x2, Mondal and J Mills x2.

 

[Buxton Vale]

Amoo seems to be a good find on the games so far. Nice to keep a clean sheet as well.

 

[northstandexile]

Mansfield 1-3 Blackburn

Looked a very good Rovers side.

 

[The Terminator]

Beat Hornchurch 1-0, could've been 5-5 at half time with both keepers playing blinders.

Lee Angol scored for us.

 

[GTFCfish]

Lee Angol scored for us.

Apparently his 2 Brothers are also signing for you.



They like to be known as the Tri-Angol’s.

This post fish has 3 possibilities.

1. You have horrendous sleep issues.

2. You have a baby who keeps you up all night.

3. You work nights and are bored shitless at 2.58 am .

Oldham leaving it late to get going!

That's a point. What are Oldham doing? Season starts in 2 weeks and they've not yet played a game apparently.

 

[Indian Dan]

Haven’t they been rocking the casbah?

Option 3 mate, working in 41.c heat last night.

 

[Si Robin]

That's a point. What are Oldham doing? Season starts in 2 weeks and they've not yet played a game apparently.

They've been in Morocco for 10 days according to their Twitter feed. They played Rajah Casablanca, but it wasn't a 90 min friendly game of two halves.

 

[ShrimpsMeltdown]

We beat Kendal 5-2 last night and we have Everton Under 23's at their training ground on Saturday.

 

[Si Robin]

According to the Morecambe Twitter feed it was your academy that beat Kendal 5-2.

 

[Chris FGR]

We're at Salisbury on Saturday.

We won 3-0 at Wealdstone on Tuesday night for three out of three.

 

[Si Robin]

Table and results updated accordingly.

 

[Vanni]

Must win game coming up on the weekend. Anything less than a win vs Hearts and we'll be in the bottom two I reckon. And to be sat in 23rd in July is simply not on

I don't think we've ever had this little problem during pre season before. Usually it's only around early October that we start hearing talk of must win games on our forum

 

[Posh Harry]

We have away to Gainsborough tonight.

 

[Indian Dan]

We have away to Gainsborough tonight.

No need for any constables there.

 

[Buxton Vale]

No need for any constables there.

[Indian Dan]

I apologise for posting Pollocks!

 

[GTFCfish]

No need for any constables there.

Christ your’e even worse than me.

 

[GTFCfish]

We have away to Gainsborough tonight.

I reckon GTFC will win this one.

 

[Gladders]

We have away to Gainsborough tonight.

Looks like pretty much our youth team apart from new signing Gibson and Jordan Cook coming back from injury.
