    Did this really happen? I hope so, although it doesn't really take away from the damage we all feel that he did.

    It did really happen, he was on train going home to Swindon and I was returning to Harwich, I was surprised he managed to get a train so soon after the match.

    I bought the first Damned album from a neighbour  whose mam wouldn't have it the house ( we were 15). 20 years later, I married that neighbour , we now have 2 children  and 3 grandchildren.

    Saw the Damned several times, most recently in Leyton Buzzard c1999/2000 I think it was,  they  performed under a different name, some record company bullshoite they were getting round, but it was defo them and they could still knock it out. 

    I think they called themselves the Doomed for a while

    He's more likely to be told which parts of his game he needs to work on most, rather than ' no thanks' , if they don't take him on, with assurances that  they'll keep  an eye on him, after all  he is only nine, as the old chestnut  about players developing  at different  rates is very true. 

    Though it hurts me to say it as I am no fan. There's  a bit in Roy Keanes early career  biography about his struggle  to even get a trial at all with some clubs, which may show the lad that there's many a slip tween cup and lip.... and one set back just sets up the next opportunity. 

    Thank you for your wise words, as I really don’t have a clue how these things work. I am just happy watching him play.

    How about monthly during the season, will be interesting to know how he’s getting on

    Ok Frank, if there is anything to tell I will post it, at the moment though it is only a trial and as you know it may be of a case of thanks but no thanks.

    I think if they have a genuine chance of making it, you have to take your football alliance out of it. What would you rather, he go on to carve a decent career involving Ipswich, or he ends up not making it in football? 

    It was really a tongue in cheek topic, I would be over the moon whoever he plays for! It is really just a pleasure just to see him playing and enjoying it at the moment. He is still only nine after all
