Doing better now

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Alsopp, Phillips, Webster, Clarke, Pugh, Lawton, Finch, Daniels, O'Brien, Tudgay, Maddison.

Burge
Haynes
C Thomas
Miller
Willis
Seabourne
Fleck
Swanson

No Johnson again. Isn't he like 4 games behind the rest of the team now? Slightly worrying.

Johnson had 90 minutes on Sunday for the national side

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Johnson had 90 minutes on Sunday for the national side

Right, ok. However, he's still 2 games behind the rest.

 

[Nick]

Is it warm over there? Anybody on here over there?

 

[wingy]

Right, ok. However, he's still 2 games behind the rest.

won't be playing Saturday either ,tight hamstring.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: Kalloni's big centre-half Anastasiadis has gone in hard on Tudgay twice in the first four minutes.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: The floodlights are on already at the Molveno Stadium. The ground, which has acted as City's training base, is also Bayern Munich Under-23's annual summer camp base.

 

[Nick]

Steal some players!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: Danny Pugh, formerly of Manchester United remember, has squared up with an opponent in what is proving to be a feisty and fiery start here in Italy.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: Danny Pugh has been sent off for an off-the-ball challenge with barely twenty minutes on the board.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: The Kalloni player involved in the incident has seen red, too.
This is extraordinary.

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: The Kalloni player appeared to punch Danny Pugh, but then dropped to the ground holding his stomach. All hell broke lose between the teams then, with O'Brien having to be held back by team-mates.

We lacked a bit of bite last season!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: Both sides are being allowed to make substitutes to make up the numbers now. So, it's as you were with 11 men on each side.
Ryan Haynes is on for City.

 

[jon92]

Where you getting updates from?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CT website.

 

[kg82]

This sounds great!!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: It's ANOTHER dismissal for the Greek side.
We've barely seen half an hour but Manuel Delgado is sent off for catching Webster in the head with his arm.
This time Kalloni aren't bringing on a substitute - so the Greeks have a man disadvantage for the rest of proceedings.

 

[Nick]

I hope we carry this bite into the season, way too soft last season. They sound like a right bunch of dirty sods.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

What on earth

 

[Hobo]

We lacked a bit of bite last season!

Yeah could have done with Suarez up front

[SlowerThanPlatt]

This is getting interesting

 

[Nick]

Billy Daniels sent off.

Maybe this is one of those team building where they get into a huge scrap for some bonding.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: Oh. My. God. IT'S ANOTHER RED CARD.
Billy Daniels is dismissed for an innocuous foul which Andy Turner has labelled an "absolute farce".
Both sides down to ten men. Crikey. Get me a glass of water.

 

[Sterling Archer]

This sounds hilarious.

 

[Nick]

I wonder if they are actually bad tackles or the ref is shoddy?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Pressley should be interesting after the game

 

[Silence_Is_The_Enemy]

this game sounds like perfect warm up for our friendly away at Stevenage, graham westley football

 

[kg82]

4 sendings off in the first half of a friendly! Surely this has to be some sort of a record?!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

CITY 0-0 AEL KALLONI: Things seem to be settling down as we approach half-time.
It's almost as if both teams are scared to make contact with each other in case they lose any more players.
This match defies belief.
