Guys,
if Im not very much mistaken, I believe it was the mighty Bravo's who beat you?! Well, if we didnt that year, we must have all been on guard or something!!
Hi Rob, great to hear from you, won`t ask what you + Shady were doing in the bath ! I think it was taken in front of the posts, i did have it but someone may have borrowed it + forgot to return it (yeah right). Spent 1yr Berlin - didn`t work out so back in Penarth. Saw Rob Taylor at Anfield a few yrs ago sitting a few rows away WEIRD !
I know you`ll have other things on your mind when you come back, so any time for the photo. 1st time i`ve heard Bravos + mighty in the same sentence !!
Look after yourself M8, all the best,
Martin.
Hi Martin M8
Sorry Berlin didn't work out, heard you where running a bar, not sure if that was true, but hope your'e doing well in Penarth. Bobby Taylor eh, see him when i'm home the odd time. Do you go up to watch the red **** in pool lol, that's it Scouse an Bri T will be giving me abuse as there season ticket holders.
Did u go up to Comrades, and do u keep in touch with a few lads of here. And yes the photo was taken in front of the posts M8 and it's no probs getting a copy will sort it 4 u, just drop us ur address on an e mail.
Take care an catch up for a beer sometime.
Hi Rob,go 2 Liverpool once a month + stay with a friend (girl) there. Tickets like rocking horse s**t, but go 4 the atmosphere in the pubs ! Am going up 4 the Derby at end of month, 3 - 0 easy. My e- mail is heap57@btinternet.com
Keep your head down M8,
Martin, (Deltas Rule !).
K m8 added u to my msn
Take care
Rob
Martin, (Deltas Rule !).
Splitter :winker: Don't forget yer Alpha roots
Aaah, Alpha Coy i remember it well + never forget a face - who are you exactly ?
Only joking Al Gr8 2 see so many names/faces on Forum, you + the rest of the team are doing sterling work keeping the best Regt in the army well + truly alive.
Martin, (Alphas/Deltas Rule).
got a picture of the berlin 7s winners after we stuffed the delts, much to don butts distaste, I think big will 78 had vanished down his girl friends and missed the final, we still would have beat you, great game though with the underdogs coming out on top. I cant remember if you were playing heapski, hows sunny penarth m8
7s, i must`ve been on leave with Will 78 ! Sun is out, sea is blue in Penarth + i`m a liar.

Mart, I have tried to upload the photo, but it is to big as it was scanned, I'll have to ask AP1 is there another way to load, or I can try to e-mail it to you?

Mike,
Use a site like Picassa to reduce it.

Heapski,
I remember playing in the game against the 'Eastie Beasties', if I remember rightly, the try line was actually in front of the posts due to their being a running pitch directly behind the posts!! I also seem to recall the eastie team had shorts down to their knees!! First game I played for the Bn, as I was still playing kiss ball then!!
They also had laces in their tops - Escape 2 Victory stylee !
Martin/Scouse
Has any 1 got pics of the game the 2nds played over in the east. I think it was the 1st game, even i got a run out. Can't remember who we played but think it was deffo the 1st 2nds game over in the east, think Robbo 84 an a few other football lads had a run out.

I might have it, if it was the one in Potsdam, I will have to have a look in the atic, wait out.
Mike
Weren`t they the Post Office team ? No pics alas.
Scouse75
12-09-2007, 22:36
Guys,
Yes it was the one in Potsdam. I do recall that there were a few waives and strays playing for us. Mark Adams mm was running it at the time. we had a right mix of players, but ran out winners!! There was defo a picture of it in the Red Dragon at one stage, but hopefully Mike has dug it out from his attic. Its probabaly gathering dust with his famous Man city video- "101 GREAT THROW INS!!"

Excellent!! Mike got the photo up. I think I actually underestimated the team we actually put out that day, it's a pretty decent team to be honest. Considering that was a 2nd fifteen, most of us went on to play for the firsts. No wonder we battered them, the poor sods in the East only got taught the rules the day before!!!

In case anyone is wondering the team photo reads as follows; (feel free to correct any errors!)
Back Row(L-R) Dexter Pickett, Mark Adams MM, Tegs 55, The 'slim' Scouse 75!!, Gareth Inckledon-Pay corps, Colin Brooks-Reme, Mike Carey, Keith Simmonds, LT Rickard, Matt 95 (MT), Tim Grubb, Tom 43, Den Braham.
Front row(L-R)
Tom?, Paul Roffi, Danny Giles, Robbo 84, Simon Honor, Viv 08, Rocky 91, Tom 84, oops forgot?, Don Butts.
Tim Grubb and Keith would like to say, they wanted to attend Comrades weekend but unfortunately all livestock had restricted movement due to foot and mouth!!!
And Rob 33 was missing, prob with the Kladow 7! (no, its not a rugby competition!!)
MikeCarey
13-09-2007, 23:03
I thought the same Scouse, thats why I put 'A' team in the title, there is quite a few first team players there past and present at the time.
Mike

My question is?
Does the Bn still play for the Saife Cup, once again due to Operational commitments, or is Capt Colin Jones MBE still running the so called "GOD SQUAD"? once again I leave this to an open to debate?
Rembember the cry ( Soldiers 1st )

Not sure Benny Im sure the Lads still in will advise us. As for the 'God squad' tag, I played football in Berlin. That is, until one day, I had to clear the pitch of snow for the 'God Squad' to play a game on!! Since then I thought, sod this. And took up Rugby!!

HA HA This still makes me lol and yes Scouse i was clearing the snow next to you with my MFO box top.
If it not the Rugby then it's was the Boxing and football you could never win with you Benny
Scouse
Half a story there M8, If I remember correctly the pitch we cleared was not good enough, so had to clear the lines on a 2nd pitch.
Can't remember if that was the 1st or 2nd tour of Tern Hill, 1st I think, when Swilly willy the sewer man was cutting (shaving.chopping) hair after a spell in nick an a good beasting (Sorry corrective training,) lol
MikeCarey
14-09-2007, 17:19
Did they not use the excuse of a snowman building competition in the Ternhill one?
Mike
If i`m not mistaken (don`t quote me), the mini God Squad (2nds) may have been 1st 2 play a team from the East. I was scrum half, Cecil no 10 +Tegs 55 also played, sorry 2 all the others - memory a bit sad. Anyone who remembers please post. We hammered them by the way.
