El Pres, too be fair Erol should take 99% of the credit I think without his efforts we would have struggled a lot more .
He managed to get three 3rd teams together before conceding defeat Saturday morning
Before the rant a big thank you to
Erol and Dan P who made managing the reserves easy on Saturday I hope you know it was appreciated by me .
Also George , Liam and Mappy who went at late notice to the first team game to help the club thank you roll on the end of uni
Although the reserves won it was a very sad day not just the first team result , hopefully the difficult blip reached rock bottom last week .
I know you will say this is not the place but some of the things I heard and experienced last week were truly depressing and it is clear to me that there are a large number of players that have no affiliation to the club in the least .
We had :
Players totally blank me not even a sorry no .
We had he wont play for you .
We had he wont play for the first team
We had I will give it a miss this week
Others that are not for the www.
Luckily we still have a lot of people that do understand and are worth it , I will use the silent assassin as an example of this !
I for one have no interest in using what little spare time I have to help run a football section for these wasters so my line in the sand is drawn no more tolerance tail wagging the dog in the hope things will get better .
So for those of you who either do not know or have forgotten we are the Old Ruts , 3 teams making up one section of the Old Rutlishians Association . We have unquestionably the best pitch and arguably the best club house in our level of football and you would need to go a lot higher to get a better playing surface than ours . Our aim is to be the best intermediate football club in Surrey winning the Intermediate Surrey Cup is our holy grail. By signing on for the club you agree to help us try and achieve that!
How , by making yourself available for which ever team you are picked and then giving your all for that team, regardless of it that is 90 minutes 5 minutes or just by supporting your team mates if unfortunately you do not get onto the pitch, unfortunately this does happen in football. If it does you then have the luxury of being able to socialize with your team mates and friends at the club taking some pleasure from the results of all the teams knowing you are part of something bigger than just a football team.
Over the life time of your playing career you will play more than you sub and every time you do it is recorded and you will be honored yes honored at our awards each year after various land marks . Having seen what lengths some players have gone to achieve land marks I know this means something more than a trophy !
I am not sure how many people read this message board but hopefully enough will see it , I know we have enough players that understand and agree with the above to turn it around in 2012, if you do not agree please just leave and find yourself another club your no longer welcome at ours!
