I am just about to word the Player Profiles for this season. Maybe somebody else might like to do it, as I have a feeling I am going to get absolutely slaughtered when I have finished !
How about printing them out and showing players what you intend to write before putting anything on the website?
I don't think what actually appears on the website is the issue, as I get absolutely slated for anything I write, especially the Video Notes.
What the problem is, is that virtually every player in the club thinks I 'snipe' from behind a keyboard instead of to their face to deliberately p!ss them off, but I have never done that and never will. It's all meant as constructive criticism, and most of it isn't criticism anyway. They just read it as if they think I am a miserable old git incapable of banter.
Let's say if Rob Brown wrote a Player Profile of Smithy. Rob would wind him up and take the p!ss big-time and Smithy would laugh at it. If I tried that, Smithy would probably chin me.
That's the way it is.
Laurence I have banter with everyone
If I didn't hav a laugh like we all do I could
Never of played for London Ajax as that is all
Our team consisted of and if I was gonna chin
Any of the chuckle brothers it would
Be the dirty gooner one . Pml let's win
The league and get smashed a Laurence wot u
Reckon
Player Profiles all now completed and online here.
I am pretty sure that there is nothing 'controversial' there that is going to p!ss people off.
I could do with a bit more info from some players though. Such as previous clubs played for (including Youth football), birthplaces/nationalities (e.g. I didn't know Kizza was South African until about two years after he started playing for us !), jobs they do, teams they support. The usual stuff. Just let me know.
I also need photos of Yianni and Martin Worthington the next time they play, while Colin's photo must have been taken when he first joined us as a 16-year-old !?
Cokell, Jacko & Terry Moore could also do with having more up-to-date/clearer photos taken I think ?
Should have time to do this Sunday during the pre-match warm-up.
Some players asked last night about a new team photo, but we'll get that done in October when Barney returns from his lengthy holiday. Hopefully we might have a new jade & black kit by then.
