Faraway Sir Ronald

It's been on and off for years but finally the time has come for Sir Ronald to be put out to pasture in Pembrokeshire and become Faraway Sir Ronald. Plenty of gardening to be done and the drink is already a distant memory. The KNOBS, who are they?

Goodbye Sir Ronald

Knobs 7 Old Pretenders 0

Easy game after the first 10 minutes.
Well easy if your lungs and parts of your feet are working.
Paul deputised for an absent Trevor and kept a clean driveway- please note.
We created many chances and when in possession looked the part. What part is that ?
Just the part that's all!
We missed a few, combination of ill fortune and over zealousness. Relax, Frankie said.
Ron, playing his last game in his 62nd year got us off the mark, sweeping home from a Matty assist. Matt likes to assist- I wish he'd come help wipe my arse in me old age, wor lass refuses.
Goals came regularly thereafter. Penetration down the right by Boyle and Simpson, feeding on M. Bull's perceptive passing was causing mayhem against a youthful, energetic yet largely clueless opposition. Yoofs!!!!
Gavin was my man of the match , until he spelled Paul in goal toward the end- still is just.
Mike scored 2, Matt scored 2 and JB scored 2, one an eye of the needle affair into an open goal .
Phil refereed, he's on his way back from where to and from where who knows?
Not much unpleasantness. No memorable idiosyncratic moments, except for my boot problems- my god am I suffering?
The pitch is now, forthwith officially heavy, nay, crap but nevertheless flat.
Poor turnout at pub, by us not them and several of them were underage! Chris wasted more coke and then we went yem.
Birthday spoiled by a Newcastle defeat- are Spurs still bottom?

Happy Birthday Ronaldo!

Don't worry Spurs will be back on the bottom soon.

Well played to all the knob's yesterday, We played some good football. The newly formed and self named Set Up Club will im sure go from strength to stength. I am told you need to be under 5ft 2 to become a member though?

I think we need to move pubs? (and no it's not because we are not getting enough food)

We also need to raise some money for a new pair of boots for Ron...

Use Dave's domino cards to raise funds or better what size boots are you Dave?

The boots were in the offering, but turned down due to Ron having size 10 feet! Surely thats out of proportion with the rest of his body? Is that why he's commonly known as Ronald McDonald.

Been Trawling the World Wide Web and have found a few good places in Chatelaillon-Plage. If anyones interested.

Been trawling the local hostelry's and they all seem to serve alcohol, which is good.

Teaboy Bill says the Knebworth cricket club want us badly.

Happy birthday to Ronald and I have a pair of size 10 boots for you.

happy returns Ron. I am guilty of not going down the pub because I wanted to get a message out to the press about maintaining a clean sheet. Promise to buy you a pint to celebrate later in the week

I feel that it's unfair Ron gets his birthday mentioned every year. Can we please start a list of birthdays from the team so we can all be wished happy returns. Mine is on the 25th of December.

To be in the 'Set Me up Club' you need to be small in stature, reasonably mobile, regularly in the final 1/3 of the pitch, and be keen on 'to me, to you' type passing. Only written applications accepted.

Heonly has to be on the pitch to set you up!
