Sean Lake ...

[bonehead]

... the Vauxhall Motors 'keeper.

I don't know if he played for them at Hyde last Monday (Hyde won 6-3 after being 0-3 down at half-time), but he certainly can't have impressed his manager or team mates this Saturday.

According to some of our fans behind his goal in the second half, he apparently made repeated requests to his bench to be substituted after our 4th goal, basically because it had not been a good week at the office for him. No reaction from the manager. He then, apparently, made little or no attempt to make a save to prevent our 5th goal - at which stage he tore his gloves off and threw them into his net and just walked off the pitch!

I bet he was a popular chap on the long coach ride back to Merseyside ... not!

I get the impression VM may be looking for a new goalie

From what I read somewhere on his way off the pitch 2 of his defenders tried to stop him, in retaliation he hit one of them and kept going.

Can't see him playing for them again.

The 'difference of opinion' with his defenders is true, giggy. He also shouted at some of our fans, 'Go forth and multiply!' (or words to that effect).

Judging from club stats, Lake has appeared in both games for Vauxhall since they played us. Still, he's improving. I think those games ended at 0-5 - an improvement on the previous two games when they let in 6 - and 0-0

According to the NLP, his reason was that he had err... let's say a slight 'stomach upset' and stormed off the pitch in order to reach Lewes/Bognor (etc) in time without drawing too much attention and embarassment from his little problem.

[bonehead]

I've heard that too, hannah, but surely he would have told the manager by half-time at the latest???
