futchers briefs

Hey all,

 

Just wondering how i go about contacting the club to see if they are willing to donate maybe a signed football or shirt (or similar) towards a charity event my friend (a vet nurse) is hosting at her work.

 

The charity event is to help raise money to train guide dogs for the visually impaired, the local vet is having a garden party with all the usual trimmings (cakes, tombola, challenges) and something from the club would make a fantastic prize. I have all the official letters and proof of the event to send whomever i might need to get in touch with.

 

Any help/feedback from someone who has contacted the club properly before would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Why not.........contact the club?

Could Tarky play left full back ? that surging run down the left flank against Chesterfield suggests he might be an option.

Seeing Reuben Hazell smash the ball home at Elland Road never once led me to believe he could play centre forward.....

If he thought they were good enough, they'd have played - If not they won't!

That is an amazing statistic, when you consider all the holidays....

Very true

However, I think very few would be willing to do the job without the hols.....

They say sportmen die twice, As once they are finnished few can turn to an alternative career thats better than the one they have been forced out of, and letting go of something you've dedicated your life too and one that gives you such a rush can be very dufficult to deal with.

 

While on the face of it its a bloody good life many struggle to cope particularly once its finished, the cases of Paul Gascoigne, George Best, and more recently Gary Speed and Dean Windass testify to that, All handsomely paid yet troubled souls. Boxing is another example of this as many strugle to cope from retirement from the ring as they can't replace the buzz they got from a big fight.

 

Oh rugby league can be good to watch but it would do itself a massive favour if it and particularly those that followed it took that enormous chip of their shoulder by trying to prove that its better than football.

Whilst not disagreeing, there are many folk from many other professions paid a darn sight less, who are indeed trouble souls, yet without the lavish lifestyle and perks that some of the modern day sportsperson has.

Ex service men/women I'm sure will testify the difficulties they face after leaving their duties and trying to fit in with civvy street.

Teachers are another example, a recent survey suggesting that the average life span of a headmaster/mistress after retirement was 5 years! A Teacher similar!

These people can give up to 40+ years of their life up for their chosen profession and not 10 - 20 like the sporting fraternity.

Wow a homophobic slur and a huge grammer mistake, one question who are the 'overpayed puffs?' The Premier League players who have every inch of their life delved into like it's a soap, the lower league players who earn round about the same as many middle class jobs. Yes there are some obscene wages out their but you know what, I understand why. Back in the 'good old days' where rose tinted glasses were clearly the rage a player would retire with nothing, no qualifications or job skills, these 'overpaid puffs' spend their early lives learning a sport but fail to much else. Is it too much to ask that they earn enough to last after they retire at the age of 35?

 

Many are overpaid but I think most earn their money by giving their life to a sport that does nothing but mess them mentally, same as any sport.

Mess with them mentally???

More than a Nurse, Police officer, Teacher or Soldier??

Working down a pit or a mine all of your life for tuppence and a dog:censored: sandwich for 40 years is giving their life to something - not 10-20 years being generally paid handsomely, with bloody good hours and working conditions!! There's 10s of thousands who have tried and weren't good enough/dedicated enough etc - the same can't be said for the professions above!

For me the priority should be to get a better kit sponsor so the replica kits are better quality. I have purchased one cabrini kit and it is awful, I am not handing over any more money for kits until they improve.

Bring back Bukta

Heh. The definitive kit for me is the (1990?) blue home and red away shirts. I think it's when I first took an interest in football.

Blue home all the way indeed - but RED is an absolute NO NO in my book!!

It has to be blue for me. Blue home, tangerine or red away.

Just NO!! NO!! NO!!!

+1

 

Glad all over - did the trick for Vale though, makes me instantly depressed whenever I hear it.

Likewise!

Hated hearing it!! - and unfortunately for our visits to the :censored:hole that is Vale Park, we heard it far too often!

How dare you, best soap on telly and the only one worth watching, so best soap doesn't really do it justice. It's a must watch in my house.

 

Your missing the plot Mr Briefs, get with the programme, join the happy band.

I admire your loyalty

Emotional

Currently averaging 9.25m.

Terrific!!!!

And the total sum of more fans through the gate after seeing a Latics shirt on Corrie will probably average out to about 0!!

Bit of exposure :-)

[/quot

 

It's only exposure for those who watch the croc of :censored:e.

Hey, if the lucky beneficiaries of these tickets find a job before the re-arranged game, are they going to send them back??

why are we poisoning this wonderful forum with posts about egg chasing?!

If our 'national game' held at least a few of the values that rugby league hold, it would be a much better, respected sport!

Our premier league is full of overpaid, underappreciative arrogant pricks - many from here, many from abroad - earning far too much for offering little humility and value for money, for possibly the best job in the world.

Just give her a Valentine's treat that comes cost free

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A new house cleaning schedule or flowers from a cemetary are always useful last minute standbys.

Those standbys may as well be planned now

Everything goes up in price that week - she's havin' nowt

I'm sure I heard/read that AH has managed to 'blag' H&S for a few years over that roof - due to the cost of replacing it.

2+2 is equaling 4 for me at the minute. Clayton gone, paddock gone, scoreboard gone, chaddy roof going.......

No news AT ALL on the refurb of BP, no money to spend, ground falling to bits, no cup run, no wembley and no promotion........mmmmm what will next year bring!

From optimistic to the ridiculous.

Why do people keep planning for next season, its been mentioned on q few threads this week

 

maybe we should find out what division we will be in before we plan anything

 

Remember that day out at Wembley people planned? When are we going there? Next season?

 

Not scoring goals and not winning, try to get a striker for this season on loan, not for next!

 

Unfortunately this season is not over yet

It's only just re-started!!

If last nights result has knocked any more stuffing out of them, the proverbial relegation dogfight may not be far away.

The silly screaming cow in the paddock does nowt but abuse him for 90 and to be fair to a geezer in front of her tonight he gave her some back!

All this 'i pay my money to have an opinion' bollocks - thank goodness i don't have a season ticket near her and have to listen to that 'opinion' week in week out!!- id have throttled her bi now.

The PD stamp all over it

Young, wants to do well and can operate in a number of positions - Good luck young man.

I don't mean to appear rude but...."WTF is it to do with Barry?"

Why ask Barry for suggestions?

Come up with them and give 'em a go - If they don't work don't do it again!

Sanitised

I do agree about the t-shirt :censored: though.....Silly, silly, silly

Possibly I think this because I think Evra is a :censored:!

Oh well.

Liverpool need to grow some balls this game - Carrick, Scholes and Giggs in the middle of the park and dominating?? they've got the pace levels of a pregnant Rhino (possibly Giggs apart)
