Plymouth Argyle - Forever Green

JJ. nope not going to any of the U20 games, all of the games are on live tv here. The games here in Ottawa were sold out yesterday, and next fridays doublheader featuring Brazil - USA is also soldout. There is also another doubleheader on tuesday and that has sold over 20,000 tickets.
The games in Ottawa are being played on artificial turf. Did you know 9 referees were sent home because they could'nt meet the FIFA's fitness requirements.

Some of the Toronto FC's are on tv, i watched a couple and they were'nt bad.

 

Dead thread......

I think we have a friendly next week against Weston-Super-Mare..Will be a bit of a run out for the youngsters and trialist probably..will try and get to it if I can because I'm staying not far away..

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston-super-Mare

I spent many a summer there back in the 50/60's when the tide is out the beach is over a mile long but when the tide comes in it comes in fast. Probably about 2 hours from Plymouth near Bristol.

 

First exhibition game last night, Argyle 1 Weston Super-Mare 0, Hodges scored,
2 trialists played last night, Argyle played 2 different teams each half, every player played except Bo, Chadders and Wottsie, who are still recovering from injuries.

 

Weston-super-mare is often called weston-super-mud due to the brown sand and even browner sea.....

Seems like we are starting like we finished last season in that we missed a lot of good chances to score..The goal was ment to have been a cracker.inch perfect dtrike from 28 yards out..

Reuban Reid was supposed to have had a good game.i wonder if he will feature this season..

 

Still part of the squad..If he can sort himself out then he could be a good player but it is down to him...

 

Yeovil 1 Argyle 2 Akos and SEB scored, much better performance than the 1-0 defeat against Torquay last saturday by all acounts.
Argyle news
Chadwick played his first game back since his injury 7 months ago and he hit the post.
Pelzer the german trialist has been released, supposedly he was no better than what we have and probably would have cost alot more.
2 more pre-season games wednesday and saturday before Argyle go to Austria for a week, and will play 2 friendlies over there 1.Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C. and 2nd game against Gençlerbirliği S.K. a Turkish team

 

By alla accounts we really played well which is good news

 

Another pre-season last night, against Liskeard, won 5-0, good to see goals from forwards for a change, Chadwick 2, Fallon, Samba and Kendall.
Liskeard are not as good opposition as Yeovil, Torquay and Weston Super Mare. Argyle players playing last night were mostly players who only played a small part the night before against Yeovil.

 

Still keeping busy

 

Hey all, just wanted to drop by and introduce myself. I'm from Western Mass in the States. I'm an avid Spurs fan, but wanted to find a club in the Cornwall area due to family heritage being Cornish. I found Argyle and wanted to learn all I could about them, as I have never seen any matches televised in the US (though I do subscribe to FSC, which I believe someone mentioned a PAFC match being broadcast through the station last season?).

Anyway, hope all is well with you lot and look forward talking with you lot as the season begins.

 

JJ, i was born at Flete House which is about 5 miles from Plymouth, lived in Plymouth till my mother decided to emigrate to Canada, i was 16 at the time, I have basically suported the Argyle since the early 60's, the first game i really remember was on Jan 27 1962 when Argyle were drawn against Tottenham Hotspur in the 4 th round of the FA Cup 40040 jammed into Home Park, about double the capacity of Home Park today.
Here is a link to that game http://www.greensonscreen.co.uk/spurs61FAC4H.asp

after that i was hooked.

 

Haven't read the papers so a bit out of touch..

 

Argyle are now in Austria, temps of 37c (100f), they played a team from Turkey tonight and drew 1-1, Reuben Reid scored for Argyle. Argyle were down 1-0 after 2 mins.
Match report should be here soon http://www.pafc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10364~1078127,00.html

This team from Turkey played Arsenal a few days ago and lost 3-0, but from reports should have been winning at least 2-0 by HT. They have played

 

Nice, always nice to have a decent pre-season.

Anyway, why isnt this thread in the league championship forum?

 

This will always be the original and the best PAFC thread..

 

Another exhibition game last night and a 1-1 draw against Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv Akos scoring for Argyle.
Argyle return to England today with 3 more exhibition games next week.
Paul McVeigh a N. Ireland international is suppose to be coming for a trial starting tuesday.
2 weeks before the new season starts.
