CHAPLINS COMEDY OF ERRORS
CHAPLINS WENT INTO THIS GAME WEARING THE YELLOW STRIPS AS BOTH SIDES HAD TO PLAY ON A WORSE PITCH THEN SILKY. SKIPPER JOE PERSIE AND DOUGLAS AWOL . NEW SIGNING KIERON WENT STRAIGHT IN THE STICKS FOR HAYES WHO WENT ON THE BENCH . PRICEY DROPPED BACK INTO MIDFIELD WITH CHAPLINS TRYING A PACKED MIDFIELD LEAVING BIRDMAN UPTOP BY HIMSELF.= , NEW GOALKEEPER KIERON MUST HAVE WONDERED WHAT HE HAD LET HIMSELF IN FOR AFTER WE WERE TWO DOWN AFTER TWO MINUTES.DEFENSIVE ERRORS WERE TO BLAME FOR BOTH GOALS AND THAT WAS THAT,MATCH OVER.AS IT HAPPENED WE GOT TO HALF TIME TWO DOWN AND PERSONALLY I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN ACHIEVEMENT IN ITSELF.THE SECOND HALF WAS A COMEDY OF ERRORS AND DEFENSIVE FRAILTIES LED TO AN ONSLAUGHT ON OUR GOAL. TWO PLAYERS WHO CAN HOLD THEIR HEADS UP ARE KIERON AND BIRDMAN,ONE WHO TRIED TO STOP GOALS AND THE OTHER BECAUSE OF HIS ATTITUDE AND WORKRATE.TAKE A LONG LOOK AT IAN BIRD AND SEE THE EFFORT THAT HE PUTS IN AND THEN LOOK AT YOURSELF AND SEE IF YOU CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT YOU PLAYED YOUR BEST. DO WE NEED TO BLAME THE REF EVERY GAME, OR SHOULD WE BLAME THE PITCH OR SHOULD WE BLAME OURSELVES.I THINK WE KNOW THE ANSWER.YES CORRECT, WE HAD ELEVEN VERSUS ELEVEN, WE BOTH HAD THE MUDDY PITCH AND YES WE BOTH HAD THE SAME REF.SO WHAT DO WE BLAME!........EVER HEARD OF A WORD CALLED TEAMWORK? DEFINITION IS A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THE SAME GOAL, USING THEIR STRENGTHS AND QUALITIES TO ACHIEVE A FAVOURABLE OUTCOME.EACH PLAYER HAS A ROLE TO PERFORM AND CARRY OUT AND TO BE SUCCESSFUL THIS HAS TO BE PERFORMED.WE ARE NOT A BAD SET OFF PLAYERS,WE ARE A BAD TEAM.EACH ONE OF YOU HAVE INDIVIDUAL TALENTS AND WE NEED TO PUT ALL THESE QUALITIES TOGETHER TO BE STRONG,BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.I WOULD SAY THAT GLENEAGLES WERE A MORE ORGANISED UNIT, BUT I DONT THINK THEY WERE BETTER PLAYERS.WE CANNOT BE A SUCCESSFUL TEAM IF WE DONT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND WE NEED TO BE TOUGH AND GET ON WITH THINGS NEXT WEEK.WE CAN BEAT THE POOR TEAMS BUT BOW DOWN TO THE SO CALLED BETTER TEAMS. BELIEVE ME LADS THEY WERENT THAT GOOD, THAEY JUST ADAPTED BETTER AND GOT THAT QUICK START. .. I CAN NOT FIX A LEAKY RADIATOR WITH A SAW,..... SO LETS GIVE ME AND PAUL SOME QUALITY FOOTBALL NEXT WEEK, BY HAVING DISCIPLINE, SHAPE AND STRENGTH ON THE PITCH.IF YOU GET ASKED TO PLAY IN A POSITION THAT YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH OR GIVEN A SPECIFIC JOB TO DO, THEN GIVE IT YOUR BEST, AND IF WE GET BEAT THEN BLAME PAUL AND STEVE,BUT I BELIEVE IF YOU TAKE NOTICE, YOU WILL GET THE RESULTS,IF YOU DO THE HARD WORK.SO LETS WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AND LEARN FROM TODAY, AND COME OUT NEXT WEEK LIKE MAXIMUS DECIMUS MERIDIUS, STRENGTH AND HONOUR.WE GOTTA WORK AS A UNIT LADS.
