I think we need to put a serious, money saving proposal into the club here. To save the players the farcical trip on a Wednesday night to play in a ridiculous cup competition against a team of kids which will cost us money we should sign 14 fans on a non contract amateur basis. We will make our own way up there to avoid the club having to play travel costs, and we won't ask for any wage or bonuses. This should save the club a few grand, and allow us to play for our beloved team in a competitive figure.

 

It's been a few years, several stone and a few thousand pints since I played in my role as a swashbuckling right sided full back but I'm willing to get my boots back on to help the club. I believe LichtieLegend used to reguarly run rings around folk while playing 'in the hole' for ASC in his younger years, so he can take up the Josh Skelly role. Lichtie23 also has previous in the game, and rubbed shoulders with legends such as Mass Sarr and Russell Anderson in his brief career as a midfielder. I suspect his pace may have been lost, similar to his hair, but I'm sure the technical ability is still there so he can play in the Paul Sheerin role.

 

Anyone else fancy a game? I'm thinking Lichtie78 may be able to fill the David Gold role? If so, bring your own hair gel, kick the ball a few times then just stand around in the centre circle watching the play happen around you, shouldn't be too difficult at all.

 

I must remind everyone that this would be a serious, competitive game of football, so I think we'd have to go with a 3 pint maximum pre game unfortunately, with a limit of 2 nips at half time.

I know a big northern lad that can play CB. He will need to get a few days off from the berry picking to play tho

Also I know a tall bespectacled lad with a left foot of a wizard. He will never ever shite out of a tackle like Alan Cook either. Get him up and down that wing and we have a chance here

Great shout that - he can play the Andy Munro role, heider it an hoof it, none of this fancy ball playing pish.

 

Do we have any fans who have previously been ball boys at Gayfield? We really need to fill the Lari Yao role quickly, I see it as an integral part of the team.

Having played under the greatest manager in Angus football history, John Pratti, I'm not sure I'm willing to make the step down to Dick Campbell's level tbh

Still a month or so to go before we play them. Just get battered into the pasta and hit the weights

Anyone who applies for the Lari Yao position must also be unreal in training and have played for an English Premiership team.
