Tommy's Words of Widdsdom

[davetscfc]

Awful pun used in our programme for our team manager Tommy Widdrington's column.

Anyway, since taking over the team manager's role this season, meaning he's dealing with more of the pre match/post match press stuff, a couple of us have noticed that he's becoming a bit of a Gordon Strachan with some crazy quotes and analogies.

Thought this would be a good place to share them, so wil try and keep you updated.

Salisbury Journal 03/09/09 (before Luton home game)

“But I always tell the players that the opposition are just 11 pairs of arms and 11 pairs of legs, and we have to look them in the eyes.

“I want our backyard to be a fortress and I don’t want anyone sticking any flags in it.”

Salisbury Journal 17/09/09 (after defeat at Gateshead)

“I wish I could explain it,” he said.

“People think because you play well one game, you're going to play well the next game.

“But I said to the players, if you drive a car looking out of the rear window, you can see what's happened but not what's going to happen, you have to keep looking through the windscreen.”

“We didn't foresee that was going to happen, and we will obviously try to put it right.”



Am sure there will be more to follow!

Oh and in Tuesday's programme he called Chester Welsh and wished them a safe journey back to North Wales after the game. Classic bit of unintentional trolling!

Fantastic! Keep them coming ;D

Paul Doswell is a bit of a troll sometimes, too

Just the one short one in today's paper, but some advice worth remembering folks -

"Experience is a very hard teacher"

After our excellent win at Wrexham yesterday.

"The pleasing thing for me is that for a team that's so young, they were able to put their tin hats on and cope with everything Wrexham could throw at them"

'Twas indeed an excellent result for Salisbury, which seems to have upset Dean Saunders. ;D Here's his quote in the NLP:

"It's frustrating. Every five minutes I think 'what am I doing?' because football is a slap in the face. I've had hundreds in my career, but those who come back do something in the game."

Tommy's response: "we've come up here with a bus full of flu but the lads put themselves on the line and I couldn't be happier".

Another gem after Saturday's backs to the wall win against York. I'm sure he's playing it up for the press now!


They were throwing not just the kitchen sink but the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom and the garage at us. But my young lads were fantastic.
