Today the Mollie's officially hit crisis point and one wonders how we got to this point. What appears to have happened is a lack of communication about the founding ethos behind the team. I honestly believe that the team is geared to having a good time playing footy on a wednesday night, and if we win, all the better. We also have banter and rip on each other for faults both real and imagined. If i took all Lungboy's criticism to heart, i'd have hung myself by now. I will not have the blog censoresd and personally enjoy reading and writing them. If you take to heart every slight joke or criticism, don't read the blog! To my next point, we are not a win at all costs team and we will field players who genuinely want to play. We all pay our fees and can not carry good players who can't pay. Therefore, we will not field a strong team everyweek as we could not pay the fees Goals expects of around £385 every 10 weeks. Some players seem to have completely missed this point and used our newest member as an example of lack of will to win. To clarify, it is always my decision to field the team, and my first concern is to have the match fee covered and we need a minimum of 6 players to do this. We have no strength in depth, he wants to pay and play, therefore i make my decision to play him.
Sorry about the ranty nature of this post, but these issues must be put to rest for the good of the team. Normal service will hopefully resume next week, if we still have a team!

To the "gaffer" self appointed of course where are you going with this.People seem to forgot when you win is it that long ago?I know your position as goalkeeper was threathened on Wednesday not by me I gave my you fullest support,even if you admitted you could have saved 2 of the 10 goals you let in.
I haven't been happy with the teams play for a number of weeks,its not ABOUT winning its about trying and given it your BEST EFFORT which lately hasn't been forthcoming.Its not about solo performances and scoring individual goals. I unlike the "gaffer" haven't given up on you yet, people who want to keep fit should go to the gym and not play in a league.Our oldest two players should play in defence and not enter the opposition half,that may be a good start for the new season.When players have come off to allow the subs on they do talk and I have listened to their critism of their fellow players and most of my blogs apart from not mentioning the gaffer have reflected some of your views.Subbing is an issue people not coming including Gareth is not fair when I suggested to Leo I would time the play and tell people to come off so everyone had equal time he disagreed.So no progress. So to the persons who are not bothered about winning and make their views known and further depress the other team members I don't beleive you I have seen the team win and the pride was there.To move things forward I have played in and watched 5 a side matches for the last 36 years.
Its easy older players play in defence and normally extend their playing careers.Danny Murphy (Fulham)admitted this on the box.Protect your goalkeeper sometimes its not about making a tackle its about holding the play up instead of getting beat and leaving your goalkeeper exposed. Many games Ive watched opposition goalkeepers have been weak but we have not been able to take advantage because of good defending.Simple rules stop the long runs its to easy to get beat, 5 a side is once again about passing the ball to each other, other teams have shown you time and time again.You forget these simple rules and you wont enjoy losing never mind winning.I have seen you pass the ball to each other and it worked mainly when Nathan played. I wish you all the sucess take care Don
