Rickoza Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Didn't know about this one! Must've been a very young side, who's Tom Hately?!?!.... Lancaster City 3 Motherwell 2 In yet another promising glimpse into the coming season Lancaster City beat Scottish Premier League side Motherwell at Giant Axe. Goals from the excellent Mike Rushton, a neat finish from Andrew Teague and Roger Sharrocks meant that the Dolly Blues remain unbeaten in what has been a good pre-season. This was a young Motherwell side, yet a talented one and at times they played City off the park. However the Dolly Blues harried and harassed them in a good workout. Rushton has looked very sharp in pre-season, again he murdered his marker time and again, and he finished with aplomb after Jordan Connerton had set him free. Motherwell will take on Scottish giants Rangers and Celtic in their new season and they deservedly drew level through former Rangers star Mark Hately's son Tom. However it was City who Motherwell had to deal with last nght and while it is oft repeated that results in pre-season do not matter getting in good nick does, something Teague has managed, his goal will further boost his confidence. When Sharrocks gambled at the near post to finish off Mike Jarvis' cross he put the cherry on City's move of the match. Jarvis, Sharrocks and Rushton will hope to hold on to this good form as they step into Lee Dodgson's prolific boots. Steve Meaden finally made the visitor's pressure tell on 86 minutes when he neatly finished, if they had converted pressure into goals throughout then they would have run out as comfortable winners. City now take on a Preston XI on Saturday, they won't be worried about their unbeaten run, but they will be hoping that they can stay fit and sharp as the season proper creeps ever nearer.

lonewolf Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 That's what I originally thought, but with the mention of Tom Hately I thought he may have been a trialist of some sorts. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinky Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Is this the motherwell second team consisting of michael fraser etc. If its not then getting beat off a blue square premier team is pretty embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll likely be much the same guys who played Bathgate in that friendly recently. Mind the 19's need to prepare for their season too. Gannon's surely not going to risk first-teamers in a friendly like that when there are European games on the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLovin Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 So this Hateley has been dumped by Accies and now on trial with us? Reckon he must be pish if the Accies don't want him and his dad can't get him into the H*ns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmen Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 maybe we nipped in and stole him from the accies.... or it could be a swap deal for Murphy Leee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 So this Hateley has been dumped by Accies and now on trial with us? Reckon he must be pish if the Accies don't want him and his dad can't get him into the H*ns. Get with the programme, that was last year as an 18 year old. And by your reckoning, I'd wager you know little of organised football, what's to say Gannon won't get the best out of the kid? Billy Reid wouldn't know a good player if he jumped up and bit him on the face! He inherited McCarthy, Easton and a soon to be sold McArthur, they've cashed in the family jewels and don't have in reserve what they trumpet to the media.

McLovin Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Get with what programme? The article which is written in 2008 says he would be with Accies for a year, now it is 2009 which is a year later. From this I assume Accies let him go. If he was such a star why isn't her with the H*ns? By the way I know as much about organised football as the next fan ya fud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this I assume Accies let him go.If he was such a star why isn't her with the H*ns? Never assume... He never signed. Played conference football last season methinks. No harm in having him in on trial, deemed good enough for Readings' Academy and with the track record of our current manager... As for being such a star? Well, you could add any club into that statement, but, hey, don't let your blinkers get in the way of another ridiculous post. By the way I know as much about organised football as the next fan ya fud. fud? School holidays? You answered the point exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hmmm. Assumption is the mother of all fuckups - so I've heard. Looks like he is still with Reading (is listed on their web site) and actually played with Basingstoke last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
