Match Thread ATK Irdning v Everton Saturday 14th July 4pm KO

Ok. It's a kick about. But it is embaressing for the club that we are setting up games in 5th tier Austrian Football.

TBF big clubs have used that town as a training site and who is easier to set up a friendly against than the local team?

Nah it's not embarrassing.

It's target practice and getting rid of rust.

You don't want to test them with tough games straight away otherwise you run the risk of early injuries.

Some of these players won't have thought about fitness or touching a football for two months.....

It's embarrassing, they should have been told to take the foot off the gas at about 8-0.
We are the butt of jokes by fans up and down the country for organising a game against a team of this level.

Let me find the give a damn to care about what people think about the level of play in a friendly against the local team in a popular training town...

No luck. I don't give a damn.

Crap opposition but really ejoyed Robinson's performance.

My older brother has followed him at Bolton - rave reviews from their fans and he is in the USA team squad?
Supposed to fast and good in the tackle ....

EXCEPTIONALLY unlikely. Particularly with a new manager incoming.

It's just a stupid friendly, it's nothing to get butthurt about.

there was a video of all the teams that have used that training site and am sure Real Madrid use it to, am sure they have a kick about with that team sometimes. why wouldn't they? its a warm up game in preseason.

Roma and Real have used it in the last two summers, I think that video had on it.

It was a kickabout at altitude to cap off a week of double sessions. It was a laugh for us but those lads wll hold that memory for ever. Got to play against a Premier League side.

As if people are getting upset about this

Relegation form that. I hope some testing friendlies are fixed up. Some of the names we played make me groan at the thought they will wear blue next season.

 

[deipnosophist]

Was. Capt Jags playing?
