League have not had meeting yet the game we have this week is the game that was called off a few weeks ago as henwick had a semi final that day.
Im 99.999% we have the points from that game but we need at least a point this weekend as our goal difference is now fucked due to the hammerig we received on sunday

Chav Friend need to beat us to win the league...

We still haven't been awarded the points for the Henwick game, so I guess they league still haven't had there meeting. Or the game will have to be played.

Supposedly, that's his real number. I've not had the balls to call him yet though...

Sillsy that links not working for me! Am i doing something wrong??

Carlton Palmer!!!!!! A.....Wot??????

There's a lot of detail, even the links work!

If you're bored, giev Carlton Palmer a call...07989389815

Hahaha you little trickster you. I cottoned on straight away, well soon enough to still have the receipt for my "Souness" England shirt...

I don't believe it...

what the hell happened over the weekend boys!!!!! Does anyone know if we got the three points agianst henwick???

You fookers what's happening, are you staying up? We're going into our final game three points clear of saftey but playing the team below us! Luckily they have to beat us 25 - 0 to stay up. When's your last game? How many points do you need to stay up? Damn it give me some info and stop blogging about pigeons!

Blogging from a train?! That's impressive, I'm so behind the times. That does deserve a prize. How about a dead Pigeon?

Awful stuff today, not fit enough and not good enough. We didnt seem to know how to defend, pass the ball short, or shoot. Our best spell was the ten mins at the start of the second half, where we did get it on the deck and pass and move. We cut through them two or three times, but then reverted back to hoofing it long when they scored again. Not a morning I enjoyed.

Apologies guys for not being able to make this weekend. But i'll keep everything crossed you can pull a result out of the bag, Good Luck. I'll be back next week though so you haven't got rid of me yet!!!!

Thats 2 prizes you now owe Sillsy....you'd better deliver on Sunday or face the consequences.

Am I the first player to post from on a train? I think so... Sillsy where's my fucking prize?

Whatever message you wanted to get to Adam must have been fucking urgent.

Anyone seen a pigeon flying about around at all? I lost mine earlier, sent it off to deliver a message, but no sign since. It usually comes straight back, but it's eyesight has got worse recently...

Yeah the Weekly News get their league tables from the League themselves so until they've made an official and minuted decision about the points they won't tend to publish it. Don't panic until we get the call saying we will have to replay it after all...

I saw that Ad I am hoping that the table will be amended following the leagues monthly meeting when we will hopefully be officially awarded the points.

Newbury Weekly has us as played 17 with 17 points and last weekends game as "Scratched" ???

I was just checking the blogger to see if anyone had had a pigeon fly into their window and what do you know...

Are we training tonight?

Thought you might like to know......While I was writing this a pigeon just flew straight into my window. Made quite a loud bang and has left a nice pigeon shaped dirt mark as a souvenir.

That's only a slim lead to be taking to Spain. Reckon you need to score out there, genuine goal, not offside or anything. OOoh it's exciting. Hmmm.

Hush hush Hilly, calm down, don't get in a mood without reason. In fact, I need to be nice to you: Swindon could helpo the U's to promotion, taking on Brentford and Huddersfield in the final 3 games of the season.

Yeah sorry about that Shane, I don't know what the're playing at, we get beat 1-0 at home to Dons then go and beat Scunny away on Monday it just doesn't make any sense?!!!.... and Sillsy don't bother with any semi-witty replies to any of this cos it doesn't concern you.

Another "Smurf's thought" same time next week...

I wonder if hairyness is hereditary?

Bloody hell Hilly. Not only did your boys drop 1-0 at home to them but then Hartlepool let them beat them too, giving MK Dons 6 points over Easter and putting them right back into the lottery of who stays up. What the hell are you lot doing?

The only ray of light was that AFC Dons also won twice to put themselves into the play off places with only two games to go, both against lower table opposition. It's all there bar the shouting, and with our boss showing the occasional glimpses of Bellamy football genius I reckon we've got a good shot if we get into the play offs.

Shefford fared well too with a 3-0 win over Henwick on Sunday. 3 games to go to keep our goal difference above Bayers and give ourselves the best chance of survival. I'm not here for the next two matches though but I am going on holiday which is when we tend to get our best results...

Oh, and congrats to Miller, who got engaged on Saturday night to Crabbeman's sister. Spot on.

I wont just claim it, I'll win it. 2003/04 season, joint 1st, and third in goal of the season. 3 out of four. I dont score many, but when I do...

We'll have to see. If it's a windy day then Sillsy will want to claim one for a goal of the season contender...

Can i claim the goals if were awarded a 3-0 win?????

3 points woohoo!

Im on a promise on sunday too.

Smurf I'm playing up front on Sunday

Trainings not on tonight lads. Not enough people are coming along and i'm just about to set off from Whitby, don't think i'll be back in time.

I'm assuming that as it's Easter there's a) no game this weekend and b) no training tonight cos no bugger's gonna turn up?

Woah woah woah...

I refer you to my Blog on Monday, the 10th of April, in which I post a copy of the very first Blog on the Shefford Blogger, posted by Mr S. Bellamy.

Therefore, this whole Blogger thing is the responsibility of the aforementioned Mr Bellamy, and as such, it is he who you should be threatening in pursuit of your prize for your CHEATING FU**ING 5000TH BLOG.

Thankyou.

Right, seriously Sillsy.......WHERE'S MY F***ING PRIZE?!!!!!

Hilly congratulations on your award winning blog............Sillsy where is the mans prize?

Never mind all that Sillsy, jealousy is an ugly trait.......where's my prize?

Hilly, I can't believe you just did that. We've been waiting for ages for that to happen, agreements were made that no multi-blogging would take place, it was going to be natural, like a water birth. Then in you come with your prize requests and fu*k the whole thing up.

Oh well, onto 10,000...


This was the first ever Blog posted by Shane, on Tuesday the 12th of August 2003:-

Shefford FC online! Easier than setting up a website (which I still intend to do cos it got us the Billy Connolly gig) I can use this to let people know about anything you need to know about. Um... that's all for now.

Shefford FC blog?

for the 5000th....

if there is a prize......

I was just wondering......

Yeah it was another painful game. Best forgotten, we're not learning from any of it either way. Best to store it away somewhere and move on to the next game. We were okay til we conceded and til that point had looked no more likely to concede than we were to score ourselves. We still played some good stuff going forward even while the goals were going in, but they looked like they could score with each attack then (and pretty much did).

Even when we were at our best we were a far cry from what we should be, another 90 minutes without a decent shot on goal goes by.

Next game...

As for my claim about Cream Eggs, I looked in a shop today and saw how many 50 actually are. Might have to sheepishly reconsider.

Probably depends who you ask mate; we collapsed after the first goal went in, we changed the system around too much, we didn't get close enough to their players on their first touch etc etc.

However, I still think (and watching from the sidelines, am pretty convinced I'm right) that out problem is that we're playing like a team who think we are rubbish, in that we're scared to get the ball under control. We would rather hoof it out and chase the game, as if we think our sole aim is to stop them scoring, whereas it should be to score lots. In the first twenty mins yesterday, we got the ball properly under control (as in stopped it, looked around, and played an accurate pass to someone on our team) once. However, the amount of times we whacked it on our first touch, or controlled it then whacked it to no-one, were countless. All I seem to hear whenever someone on our team has the ball in our half is 'get it clear' or more commonly when I've got the ball 'don't do that there Johnny!'. All of the goals conceded were soft again, and avoidable, but as I say, it probably depends who you ask. I still get the feeling that if we scored first, we could roll some of these teams over.

Anyhow, no point blaming certain players or areas of the team, we're in it as a team and we have to get out of it as a team. 4 points from 4 games.

Latest Table...

P W D L F A Pts

1 Hampstead Norreys 19 14 1 4 59 26 33 43

2 Hermitage Reserves 18 13 3 2 72 33 39 42

3 Travellers Friend 18 14 0 4 62 29 33 42

4 Newbury Post Office 18 8 3 7 46 39 7 27

5 Henwick 18 8 3 7 53 47 6 27

6 Newthatch 19 7 3 9 43 46 -3 24

7 Westwood Academy 19 6 4 9 28 42 -14 22

8 Monument 20 7 0 13 35 55 -20 21

9 Bayer 20 5 5 10 33 49 -16 20

10 Shefford 16 5 2 9 33 41 -8 17

11 Paggies Bar 17 1 2 14 19 76 -57 5


So we could stil finish 4th...! Both Monument and Bayer have finished now, so 4 points from 4 games and we're ok...although I thought we only had 3 left?

Ads firstly part of the basic oompa lumpa training is how to camoflage ourselves against objects that are much bigger..i.e Lewis!!!! as for the idea you'll be able to hit me well i won't say anything about your shooting. or any jokes about them being blanks.

Think we should just tell everyone to go for dave in the last game regardless of teams.

Hopefully more than were at training last night....otherwise ill get bored of shooting you grundy! I agree by the way. Ill bring the thread.

So who's going paintballing tomorrow for Dave's Birthday. I think a stitch up is in order!!!!!

I will be going if i'm not working shane, i'll let you know.

Training is definately on tomorrow. 7pm at henwick again. It would be nice to get more than 6 turn up this week.

So is training definitely on tomorrow?

Hilly are you going to Swindon v MK Dons on 15th April? If so let me know and see if you can get me and Julie tickets - if you win I reckon it could properly send em down and I wanna be there!

Trouble is - Sam Allardyce'll get it even though he's way not good enough and then, cos we've actually got a fairly decent squad at the moment, we'll win the World Cup and he'll go down in history. How fucking embarassing.

That, or a foul on one of the Laudraup brothers.

So, the final four are Martin O'Neill, Sam Allardyce, Steve McClaren and Alan Curbishley.

Please, please let someone come up with a miracle cure for Mrs O Neill...

I would just like to point out before any more stereotypical comments are made about the Danes/Vikings that my mother is Danish......and also set the record straight about the bad reputation the vikings have been given over the years, they were actually people of a generous and giving nature and only 'raped and pillaged' when faced with extreme provocation such as Carlsberg exportation and resistance to invasion.... which is totally understandable.

All I read there was...


Blah blah blah blah I'd love to be able to blah blah blah blah split

Grundy blah blah blah blah on Sunday blah blah blah blah

Blah I'm only jealous cos blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah me blah blah Never entered blah blah blah blah you. And you have nice shoes

Genghis, surely there is a bandage you can wear for that?

There you go, he admitted it "I'd love to be able to switch teams easily". Heart of a splitter.

Grundy he was only asking who we're playing on Sunday so he can go and train with them on Thursday night.

Sillsy I'm only jealous cos my "local" team is higher placed than my "actual team" so there really is cause for me to switch. Never entered my mind though, that's the difference with me and you. That and the shoes.

I'd love to be able to switch teams easily, then I might not have lost that money to Hillys a couple of years back during one of our REGULAR Colchester vs Swindon arguments. Arsenal = family team, Colchester = local team. Simple as that. Not that I'm taking the bait...

Sorry Mr Grundy sir, didnt mean to question about Sunday sir, just wondering sir, part of my young inquisitive mind Mr Grundy sir. You don't need to tell me we need three points, tell everyone who wasn't at training on Thursday so they get their asses down there. Or Steve T will be sent round to do his 'work'

If anyones interested i'll run training again on thursday but it would be nice to have some decent numbers.

Sillsy, does it actually matter who we have, its either Henwick, Chav Friend or Post Office. 3 points is called for no matter who it is.

Shaner, in reference to your advert for a room mate.....I'm sure i've seen the same advert in the classifieds in the Newbury Weekly.......Not that i was looking mind you!!!!

"Wannabe cockernee seeks room mate for fun and friendship. Likes discos, reading and watching footy. From the sidelines. Dislikes vomiting or anal sex, or both. GSOH, in fact sometimes my jokes make everyone stop talking. Quite happy to change football allegiance depending on what club you support and if they won their last match. "

I'd be happy to share with anyone who isn't going to throw up in the only sink in a small bedroom, or try to anally rape me.

Well Genghis was his usual grown up self and sensibly caused no bother. Smurf was asleep for most of the weekend and when he wasn't he was beating up Crabbeman (except, bizarrely, for when Crabbeman was hoying and talking himself through the process, when everybody in the room wanted to beat him up but pretended to be asleep cos we're British).

Having shared with Crabbeman and Browny in recent years, I'm hoping to share a room this year with people who aren't going to vom. Or maybe it's my turn!

Yeah, it was bloody hilarious, although don't forget Smurf and Genghis were in the room as well...

As for Rob, C-L-A-R-I-T-Y is required. He is coming back, but just for the weekend. It's going well for him; he has a job, his lady, and a lovely long boat...

Dunno who we've got on Sunday.

How come Rob's coming back? Did he not get on with the Danes? I hear they can be a funny people, never really got over the whole viking thing, still burn the odd village here and there when they've had a few schnapps too many.

If he comes back without a helmet with horns on and a little blonde moustache I'm gonna be disappointed.

Is he coming to Newquay? If so I want to share a room with him and Sillsy, never laughed so much for so long in my life. Then Crabbeman came back...

Four, unconnected, things to say...

1.Lewis was looking at Grundy's bad ankle.

2.Great news about the weather, that atmospheric pressure was a killer last week.

3.Rob 'The Stron' Stronach will be returning home this weekend.

4.Who have we got on Sunday?

Gents, great news. This Thursday sees a maximum temperature of 11 degrees celcius, a mere 3 mile per hour wind (northwesterly) and a relative humidity of just 53%. Throw a bmp of 1020 into the mix along with moderate visibility and you're looking at ideal conditions for Shefford training at Henwick.

For those that missed last week (and Sunday, much to the annoyance of Sillsy and Genghis apparently) it was both fun and useful and I think everybody, whether you think you're the best player in the team or not, can benefit immediately from the sorts of things Mr Grundy had planned. I'm not sure about seeing Lewis going down on him in the carpark later on but it's not my place to question his training tactics. If Lewis scores we'll all be doing it.

Sun index and pollution will be low. Excellent.

You haven't had clean sheets since you were 11 years old...

I kept a clean sheet and got man of the match

At least we didn't drop points...

Disappointed, gents.
