Connolly bags first Pompey goal (From Daily Echo)

Outstanding!

Why and who visiting this page would be interested in this story?

It only interested 9 thousand pompey fans at the actual game!

Good to see the echo taking an interest in lower league football though! Grass roots and all that!

agent connolly, connolly agent connolly. sha lalalala connolly agent connolly...

I have nothing but respect for Connolly, our faith in him was well rewarded. I hope he gets paid for his efforts down there.

It's unlikely.

He's far too good for them. Of all the players we've had to let go he is the dark horse who could've maybe still cut it in the Prem.

Dot forget 9000 includes the season ticket no-shows, as for grass root's more like "the dregs"

I realise FA rules and all that wouldn't now allow it, but wouldn't it be wonderful if NC could offer - for free - this group of players to help the skunts limp their sorry way to relegation. After all, let's be honest, you could send out Barcalona and the best they could hope for would be to achieve relegation WITH the points deduction imposed this season rather than being carried over to next.

Steve De Ridder, Dean Hammond, Lloyd Isgrove, Ben Reeves
Billy Sharp, Tad Lee,

As he is still being 'paid off', we could even 'lend' them Nigel to mastermind their (almost) great escape.

WTFILN!

I've watched Barca twice in the last week and not been in impressed on either occasion doubt they would be able to live with the footballing powerhouses of Bury and Hartlepool.

I like the idea though Stras perhaps we could rename them Saints Reserves

Havin reviewed Poopeys situation....luckily
...Saints didn't have the humiliation of 2 administrations...65 million odd in debt...no fans etc etc.

It was good to see Bury, Colchester and Hartlepool all won too....as they are all decent tax paying Clubs.

The end is nigh for our fiddling friends....before they rise from the dead.

Just a thought, is there anything that prevents one member of a family (and director of a business) from owning a club if their brother, sister, mum or dad, say, owned another?

Maybe, for fun, one of the Leibherr heirs could use a little of their fortune, say, $60-odd million here or there, to 'save' the skates, rename them 'The Portsea Island Fishfiddlers', make them play in red and white stripes and use them as a Saints' feeder club.

Of course, the concept might have trouble passing the fit and proper test, but since when has that been an issue?

Would you really want players who came from down there though. Wasn't the last one Vincent Pericard?

This excludes Portsmouth born AOC and JWP the latter who is in a nice picture on the outside of SMS kissing the badge

What have these people done to deserve such a fate? I don't believe you could have such cruel thoughts.

A bit injury prone these days but its good for the poirpoisemouth fans to have a chance of watching an international player who has played for the top team in the south.

Funny if the Judge was a huge Saints fan... then again it could be a huge Pompey fan. Who lends them loads of government money we don't have, like Pompey did. That has dampened the mood slightly...

More likely to be a plastic Chelski fan who's never heard of them.
