Mr.green Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 After reading all the write ups from last weeks amazing senior cup clash I was excited all week to watch a master piece. The atmosphere was rather flat and after beating helston 3_2 to getting beat 4_3 from 2_2 aswel. I can't believe I paid to watch it. Although the football was decent it wasn't what I was expecting.

Mike Odgers Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I listened on Radio Cornwall and followed the Falmouth Packet blog and every thing points to a deseved win for the Bridgers, even missing a penalty. The commentator was full of praise for the groundsmen for getting the game on and he thought it was good entertainment. Att 250 est. Both managers spoke sensibly and constructively and I was quite impressed with Paul Rowe's reflection of the game and can be well pleased with their performance Scoring 38m (0-1) Lewis Prince---39m (1-1) Luke Brabyn h/t 49m.(2-1) Jack Bowyer---62m. (2-2) Andy Butler---72m. (3-2) Luke Brabyn Pen-- 75m. (3-3) Matt Lloyd---77m.(3-4) Callum Bertrand Never2L8M8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Man Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Believe that the attendance was 254. Not bad on a miserable November Saturday afternoon. Didn't see anyone from Wadebridge, bit even in defeat, the F Troop were in fine voice. After working all week, this is a great way to unwind. Good sing song and meeting up with friends. Life doesn't get much better. UTT. mattelot and Jeff Chambers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.green Posted November 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Oh please dont get me wrong. The Ftroop were amazing. As you said the game was in full flow but maybe expectations were too high. A penalty miss. Darn it must have been when I went to the loo. It was nice to see a respectable game from two teams playing football. I guess reading last week I wanted more action and drama. Who was the referee not seen him before but had a cracking game. mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Popped down to Eve park to watch this one, no rabbits out of the hat with this game for Falmouth, rather Wadebridge pulling a deserved fast one. The real winner was the pitch, cut up rapidly forcing dozens of miss hit passes all afternoon, plenty of iffy tackles and slipping players to go with it as well, lucky there were no serious injuries I thought! The game was a lottery with Wadebridge drawing the bonus ball and winning with a better display in awful conditions. Should it have been forced on...make your own mind up on that one. F troop quiet I thought, no dramatic endings for them in this one. Well done Wadebridge for adapting slightly better on the day and riding the wave of euphoria that is normally Falmouth's prerogative.

Nice chatting to you yesterday Baks, however your quote " F troop quiet I thought" mmm are you sure your hearing is ok lol ? We never stopped apart from a 10 min period late in the 2nd half. And Beardy was non stop on that drum, he volunteered to take on the drum duties when JP said he had migraine. We all went home with a migraine after the game as Beardy banged the crap out of it lol. Funny though. mattelot, TheolderIgetthebetterIwas and RAPPO 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been a great fan of having a drum with the supporters Jeff, always used to do my head in but that's just a personal opinion, be interesting to know what other think. Just as an antidote, in the many years I travelled the country supporting Truro City with the the Tisa Boys, if any of the opposition's fans had a drum we would wait till he went quiet and then start singing "Put your tambourine down sport" to the tune of Tie me kangaroo down sport. Caused many a smile and chuckle with the opposition's supporters. Jeff Chambers and TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Chambers Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 We love our drums Rayvon. Got some expert bangers as well with their drum rolls. I think the F troop would vote unanimously to keep the drums. But o take your point. .not everyone's cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bartlam Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 My personal favourite yesterday was "3-2, and we f****d it up"... That showed humour and to a sense, some humility. I found it funny on the line and it shows they can also sing when losing. Personally, there were only a couple of chants that I wasn't so appreciative of... They were the ones that included a few profanities - but that's only because I wouldn't want my son/daughter coming home singing those words. Other than that, it was nice to be at a game with an atmosphere. I thought the game was a good one considering the conditions.

Never2L8M8 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Brilliant game of back and forth football with plenty of goals and a great atmosphere provided by a VERY well supported Falmouth squad. Hats off to the groundsmen for fighting a losing battle, they deserve a medal!! Lewis Prince had goal of the match for me, with a sweetly struck ball from about 25 yards out, that left the keeper no chance. In fact there was little anyone could do about any of the 4 goals by Wadebridge, which many would say was pretty uncharacteristic of the Bridgers. They create many chances and usually struggle to finish, but Paul Rowe has made some slight changes to the squad recently that has seemed to work well. Both penalties that were awarded were,in my opinion, VERY soft pens and, especially considering the pitch conditions, shouldn't have been given. There were a couple of pretty questionable calls from the assistants too but otherwise, it was a well refereed game. Matt Loyd was "Man of the Match" for me...a nicely placed header and 2 assists to provide Andy Butler with a tap in and Callum Bertrand with a great through ball, in on goal which he finished beautifully off the inside of the far post. A HUGE amount of praise for the Falmouth AFC players, supporters and club officials for their praise of their Wadebridge opponents. It was truly brilliant to see such a magnanimous reaction for both their team, and their opposition...what an absolutely classy bunch of people!!! It was brilliant to see (and hear) the support from the Falmouth crowd...one of the best represented clubs in the league.

Tommy Matthews Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 My son Jordan is a drummer and plays in a really popular local band. From the age of nine he practiced at home until he went to university to study drumming and got a first in music with the drum kit being his instrument of choice. You eventually tune out but I’ve heard everything a drum can give! Rayvon, kevin richards, Chris Davey and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their side costs 5 times more than ours to put out. Very confident in our long term future, all local lads. We've just knocked them out of 2 cups. Our target in the league is top 4 so automatic entry into the FA cup. Its all about the match day crack for us. The bond between the team and the F-troop is special and that cannot be bought.

Rayvon Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 With attendances on the rise I'm sure the Town can afford to pay out a little extra on players, as they say success breeds success and what goes round comes round. . I'm sure that they have learnt from previous experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes true, if you earn more you can spend more. Or the other way is the quick fix and get a millionaire to bank roll it all. Then one day he ends of leaving the club and it all goes up.

Count yourself lucky then Jeff as I believe in fact I know Mr Heany was also being targeted by Falmouth Town at the time, that's if it's him you are referring to.

Thought it was a excellent game, a throw back to days gone by given the pitch conditions. Hats off to the groundsman, bet he had his work cut out to make good the damage.
