Speaker 2 (02:59):
Together, I'm your host Naman Barkley and with mem here
I have and no one likes a talking team of
Stan Godwin, Andy Petman and Steve Warren. The big thank
you to our sponsor GNM Motors. Our first guest is
a former Lion who played as a forward during the
nineteen eighty nine ninety season. He played non league football

(03:20):
at the now defunct Leyton Wingate, then signed with Bromley
after a few preseason games. We must have had lots
of spies on the spot. We paid thirty four thousand,
five hundred for him. He made his debut on the
twenty six of December, scoring thirty seven goals in one
hundred and twenty seven appearances. His goals helps us finish

(03:44):
third in Division One in nineteen ninety three four but
a semi final defeat that is so memorable by Darby
ended promotion hopes. Next season, he transferred to Wimbledon with
Kenny Cunningham for a joint fee of one point three million,
but an injury ended his career. He later moved into coaching,

(04:07):
became a sports scientist and is now a head of
recruitment at Watford Academy. We won't hold that against him.
We're excited to welcome him. Say hello to John Goodman.

Speaker 7 (04:21):
Oh hey John, how.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Are you doing?

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Great?

Speaker 8 (04:24):
Why John?

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Even though good evening everybody, It's.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Great to have you back again, well remembered former lion.
We had a great insight into the game. I think
Stan was mesmerized the last time we were on with
the information that he gave to us. The English Championship
is a top second tier football league, rivaling not revitaling arrival,

(04:48):
in flight, liscipline, good yeah, in the history, fan base
and quality. Many consider it among the world's top ten,
and since twenty seventeen it's been the six richest league
in Europe. Squad sizes have grand since Mills returned the
second tier, mainly due to the higher financary revolved from

(05:12):
our great benefactors, the Sky people. What are your thoughts
on how this effects clubs, supporters and football.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
That's a big question to aim.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, give us a brief overview.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Listen from a playing perspective.

Speaker 9 (05:29):
I look back to when we were at Millwell and
Mick McCarthy was a player at the time.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
I think so Bruce w would have been a manager.

Speaker 9 (05:37):
The sky was just forming and there was a lot
of debate about the players hadn't been consulted.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
The FA, I think, was breaking away.

Speaker 9 (05:44):
It's going to become the FA Premier League and we was.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Not really that. I guess.

Speaker 9 (05:51):
Aware of that that we had a future game was
going to be and there's a lot of uncertainty around it.
You know, you have to say in my view that
the game has evolved in so many areas in a
really really positive way. You know where it be stadiums,
the quality of the game is, the quality of the pitches,
the quality of the academy programs now and you've development
and the awareness around that. So I think this fundamentally

(06:14):
money drives everything, but lots of good stuff has come
off the back of it. I think in terms of
it has helped the national team in terms of England
seem to have more high quality homegrown players now, which
was one of the drivers they were suggesting around playing
slightly less games and protecting I guess the workload of

(06:36):
the players and that, you know, I guess that has
been born out in terms of recent successes or relative
successes of the England team. You know, I work at
Watford and I've worked at numerous championship clubs, and I
was involved with Millwell for a while. We've read in
and went up. We've ready in two thousand and five
to the Premier League, got one hundred and six points.
I think that season under Steve couple so is interesting

(06:57):
that we have more and more, more and more knowledge,
more and more money, as you say in the game,
but the age old problems are still the same. Players
still get injured, players still lose form, Managers still get sacked,
you know. So the fundamentals are the saying. The packaging
of it is phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I'd say, a good overview of things, as they say
in thanks job, Hi.

Speaker 10 (07:23):
John, it's sir Steve here, Steve.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
How are you doing good?

Speaker 8 (07:27):
Hope you're doing well?

Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, thank you all good.

Speaker 10 (07:30):
Just picking up on some of the things you were
saying there. It's kind of intriguing to see how the
style of players evolved over the past decade. Kind of
teams are now using a range of formations to create
more scoring chances, whilst also restricting their opponents. Some might
even compare strategic substitutions to a game of chess. What
are your thoughts on the advantages of these changes and

(07:51):
do you foresee any potential disadvantages disadvantages to the way
the game is played these days?

Speaker 9 (07:57):
The beautiful game is not a new thing. I would say,
remember Swindon. We played Swindon before Mixed embraced a diamond
formation which was a complete everything was four four to
and in suddenly it might be anausyard dealers. And then
Glenn Hoddle played a diamond at Swindon and I remember
the boys coming in at a half time baffled as to

(08:17):
who was marking who and what the hell was going
on on the pitch. But it was a very much
a possession based game even then. So you know, when
I first joined Meal, Bruce Rock very quickly implemented more
of a possession based way of playing. Teddy was in
the side at the time Alex Raid had joined and
I was you know, I remember watching one of the
first two or three pre season games the Scottish side

(08:39):
we played and I was blown away by the quality
of the football that's being played. But what you had
there was maybe more diversity, so some teams would be
up and that you and I moved from mill to Wimbledon,
and Wimbledon was very much a very functional way of
playing that put pressure on the opponents by our style
of playing and how we you know, try to seek

(09:01):
advantages wherever we could on any area of the pitch,
you know, whether that be set pieces or intimidating the
referee or trying to intimidate the opposition or whatever else.
So I love the ethos of the game now. I
love how we develop players now and young younger and
younger players are coming into the game, like Max dowmon
at Arsenal what he's fifteen sixteen, it's what he made,

(09:22):
you know, European appearances and you know he's I think
he's involved in the England under nineteen setup. So it
seems it's like it's a younger game because it's a
more skillful game. There's a lack of diversity, and I
think not every team can play the same way. I
think lots of coaches want to. You know, worked with
Russell Martin at m K Dons, and Russell has tried

(09:44):
to adopt the same way of playing every club has
been at with some success and then without success. And
I think, you know, sometimes yes to. I think, be
respectful of what your team needs and what your club
needs and what the fans expect. You know, most teams
irritation towards one way of playing. It's going to be
a brave coach or.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
A brave club that comes along as the hag on
a minute, there's nothing wrong with putting the ball forwards.

Speaker 9 (10:07):
A little bit more quickly, there's nothing wrong with, you know,
being direct or putting the board in the box, or
playing two strikers up top, or just doing something against
a conventional norm because it's too.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Samy for me.

Speaker 9 (10:18):
And I think that then means, you know, not many
teams are actually getting advantage. The better teams or the
better players will generally win, and clubs are missing a trick.
It's about winning, you know, more than it is about possession.

Speaker 10 (10:30):
I think from a famous respective there's a lot in that.
You know, we see that, you know, everybody lines up
the same as you say, and you kind of hope
one day that they'll come up with something that really
changes it or challenges it in a big way so
that we may get a few more teams that way.
And you always hide bound by the squad you've got.
The better players get brought up by all the big
teams to sit on the benches.

Speaker 9 (10:51):
I think it's really hard because you know, there's not
a sport like this, you know, where the amount of discussion.
I drove to work today and listening to Talk Sport
and as Simon Jordan, Jim White about the game, and
you know whatever else. And you know, you drive home
and it's Darren Bent and the gold Seem talking about football.
And then you've got Sky Sports on Sky Sports News,
You've got Sky Sports. Everything's football, football, football. And I'm

(11:12):
not against that because I think it's I love it,
and it feeds into the industry. But it does mean
that young coaches are trying to build a brand of
their own and a perception of that they are innovative,
forward thinking, progressive, et cetera, et cetera. And it wasn't
necessarily as a fan of Neil Warnock, but you look
at someone like Neil Warnock and he would go into

(11:33):
a club and be almost like a firefighter, knew the
necessary adjustments that were required to help a team either
survive and avoid relegation or getting promotion.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
There's a lot in that, you know.

Speaker 9 (11:45):
That's that's the art of management is getting more out
of your group of players, and you'd think possible, but
also think if you're a young coach on that journey,
you'd probably feel obligated to try and be a young
version of pet you know, which is a bit of
a shame.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Really.

Speaker 8 (12:02):
Yeah, I agree, Hi John Andy.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Here doing yeah fine, thank you.

Speaker 8 (12:09):
Many fans are concerned that players may be receiving improper
training or might not be fit enough for the game,
particularly when they join from the lower leagues. A mealwall.
We value our talented squad, but injuries often disrupt us
false in reliance on under twenty one players As some recover,
others get injured, mainly car fire strained tiers and increasingly

(12:30):
ACL injuries. Based on your experience, what are your views
on the players' fitness levels and the effectiveness of training programs.

Speaker 9 (12:38):
Wow, that's a wonderful question, because I packed up with
the injury at twenty eight. I did my ACO at
twenty six in a training ground incident. Good friends with
Bobby Bowrye. Bobby runs a really good college program called Valentine.
We were looking at one of his players. You know,
I came from non league football, where as a kid,
I'd be if I wasn't playing football, I was doing
cross country run. If I don't do in cross country,

(12:58):
I'll be playing rugby. It wasn't rugby basketball, it wasn't basketball.
With a bit at the local sports center playing football.
And then I joined Millwall and I was pleasantly surprised
that I felt I was fitter than these guys that
were full time professional footballers.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
So it gave me a wonderful platform.

Speaker 9 (13:15):
And Bobby said the same when he went firstly to
Crystal Palace, and you know, it took him into his
career path.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
So I'm a big advocate of fitness.

Speaker 9 (13:22):
At times at Millwall, I'd have injuries and niggles because
my body couldn't cope with the demands of the game.
But we had very, very very little support staff. Then
he had Pete Melville as a physio and there was
no strength and conditioning coaches. There was maybe a multi
gym we would use in pre season, but that would
be about it. But some players were pretty capable of

(13:42):
playing thirty five forty games a season. We've got, as
I said, a lot more knowledge, a lot more I guess,
insight into the GPS information, the training loads of players,
the weekly accumulation of what they're doing. But I think
as well, they are right on the cusp of the
height of their fitness, and it's a bit they're very

(14:04):
sensitive creatures, any Elise athlete, and you're always on the
verge of being fit enough and then flipping the other
side of being obviously overcooked.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
And breaking down of injury.

Speaker 9 (14:16):
I have found planning the Premier League a stretch too
far from me initially, and every game it exhausted me.
So it took me two days three days to recover
from a game. So if you go on Saturday, Tuesday,
Saturday very quickly, I was on my knees and then
you're at risk of injury. So I think, you know,
I wasn't blessed with enormous technique and technical ability. So

(14:38):
I think some players that may be planning the first thing,
they're playing beyond their capacity.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
They're playing beyond their physical and.

Speaker 9 (14:45):
Technical and emotional capacity and at some point they're going
to break down. Whereas some players were able because maybe
either physically had made more capacity or technically they were
a lot better. They had a bit of reserve and
they could play a game and it didn't affect them
the same way. So I think there'll always be this
injury risk that we're flirting with. The more experienced players become,

(15:08):
the more able they are to look after their bodies,
conserve themselves, get through games. Remember Teddy said to me
the first few games, I was running around it and John,
slow down, slow down, and breathe, just breathe, you know.
And this is in the middle of a game. And
after twenty minutes, I'm exhausted. Just wait, you'll get your
second breath. Teddy was never the hardest working, but he

(15:29):
could conserve and technically he was superior anyway he could
navigate his way through a game. I hadn't, didn't have
that level of experience. So I say, you know, definitely,
the younger players navigating through games and through heavy schedules
is an art in itself, you know. And for all
the data that we can provide, no one knows their
body better than themselves, and no one knows the stresses

(15:50):
that their bodies are under. So but of course you're
always going to say you're injured. No, I'm fit, gaffer,
I'm ready to go. And I've played games where maybe
I wasn't particularly fit, but I didn't want to lose
my PA to any other player out there.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
So you're always you.

Speaker 9 (16:03):
Know, maybe not one hundred percent fitness, seventy to eighty
ninety percent fitness, and you're.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Hoping you can survive within the games.

Speaker 9 (16:11):
But the staff in levels now, not only an academy
but the first team level. I mean, it's amazing that
the stuff we can produce, the reports we can produce,
but the fundamentals are players still get injured. You know,
they're just human and they're going to break because they're
going slightly beyond the physical and emotional and technical capabilities

(16:33):
just too often.

Speaker 8 (16:34):
Thanks, I'm really comprehensive on't.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
For hello, John, ye standing and may I do it?

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Okay? Thank you.

Speaker 7 (16:42):
You're talking about the modern game and one thing and
another and the money and all that sort of stuff.
And I mean on the on that issue of money,
I mean, but not connected with football. But I was surprised,
I mean when just recently the umpire Dicky Bird died
inn He now, Yeah, asked him a question one day,

(17:02):
he said, and when I got the answer, he said,
I nearly fell off his seat. You know, he was
a real cricket man. There was nothing he didn't know
and tradition and whatever. What he thought about. You know,
these difference the different ways they played cricket now with
the sponsorship and the different levels of it. He asked
him what he thought of it, and he said, well,
he said, there's nothing wrong with it. He said it

(17:24):
because his view was that that money would improve the game. Yeah,
we won't even forget your time at the den. He
was a period filled with high hopes for promotion and
Mick McCarthy's team was making headlines and you were drawing
more more fans through the gates, and then there was
a real sense that the good signs were on the
on the horizon.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Again.

Speaker 7 (17:46):
We recently caught up with Jamie Moriley who shared about
he moved to Watford believing Mick McCarthy knew about it.
We found subsequently found out that Mick was unaware of it,
and it wasn't until years later that he discovered Jamie
had been led to such a thing that Mick had
approved the move. Apparently they'd fallen out over all that,

(18:09):
and then they've since renewed their friendship. Many memories of
that eventually left were your memories.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Of all that.

Speaker 9 (18:18):
Speaking brutally honestly, as I guess a mercenary footballer, I
was a little bit why's Jamie gone and not me?
You know, but Jamie had probably earned the move in
terms of he'd scored a.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
Few more goals.

Speaker 9 (18:29):
I was a little bit more ahead, and I know
when it came to our transfer myself and Kenny, Mick
wrung me up and was very clear that he was.
He was like, listen, John, you know there's been a
figure agreed with Wimbledon. You need to come and speak
with them. So he Mick was completely aware of it.
The funny thing was that both myself and Kenny went.

(18:50):
I went to Sam Haman's house. We couldn't agree terms.
It wasn't a major uplifting our salaries or anything. I
don't think Kenny was really keen on the move. I
was keen to go to the Premier League, but a
little bit uncertain that winwoldenm would have been the right
team for me. So We sat in Sam's house, you know,
with myself and Kenny. We didn't agree with anything. We went
back to training when heto training the next day. So

(19:11):
this is Nick would not really that mad on it,
and Nick went nuts. He went, well, you got to go.
We need the money. There is no negotiation to be
had here. I've got to go because the club have
agreed to figures and that I guess I'm both myself
and Kenny said. We literally didn't nothing changed. We just
went back to Sam's house the following day and signed.
So I remember when Jamie came to us. It was

(19:32):
a part of a deal. Chris Armstrong went to Palace
and Jamie came in. And Jamie was he hit the
ground running man. He did brilliantly for a season or two.
He showed me the way because a lot of pressures
on him a Palace lad coming into Millwall and losing
Chris Armstrong as well, you know. But he scored goals.
He was a very good worker, you know. At the

(19:55):
time I think we had himself myself, John Byrne would
have been at the club and John was a very
good player. I don't know if Malcolm Anna was still
there at the club, but definitely I was looking back.
I learned off of Teddy, I learned off of John McGinley,
I learned off of Jamie Morrile, I learned off of
Malcolm Annan and then learned off of Mickharford at Wimbled
and learned off Dean Holes. If you learn off everybody
to try and improve yourself. But Jamie it was it

(20:16):
was interesting move going to Watford. I didn't see as
a step up for him, but it was maybe a
bit more money for him and a bit more kudos
and status as a player. But price Mick was unaware
of that. But fat if that's the truth of it,
then that's the truth that I guess.

Speaker 7 (20:30):
Yeah, I mean it's ironical because shortly after you went,
or as I say, shortly but then we had the
thing later on again, didn't he We've ben thatcher And
it was interesting because redditing about that where some fan
somehow bumped into Ridge Burr, right, yes, and he accused

(20:51):
ch Burr of turning this club into a feeder club
for a club who no longer played in their own
grounds because by that time at Palace he said, and
what's more recaid fifteen years ago they weren't even in
the football league that he went burh.

Speaker 9 (21:10):
That probably demonstrates the power of the Premier League, you know,
in terms of you're right, we'd play out Seller's Park,
we'd have a home game on a Tuesday night, four
or five thousand fans there. But also remember Sam Haman
would come on a team bus of us and.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
They said, goody, it's goodie baby.

Speaker 9 (21:27):
He says, who's the best player Millwater moment, who's the
best player?

Speaker 5 (21:31):
Who am I going to get?

Speaker 9 (21:32):
And it'd be like a, well, it's either Ben Thatcher
or Andy Roberts. Okay, okay, baby, I'm going to get
one of them. And so in the end we got
Andy Roberts, we got Ben Thatcher, and we had Mark
Kennedy came from Liverpool to Wimbledon, so she had myself.
Kenny had five ex Millwall players playing at Wimbledon, which
you know, I guess would never happen in this day

(21:53):
and age, but showed possibly the strength of the potential of.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
That Millll group.

Speaker 9 (21:57):
You know, like Andy was an eighteen year old kid
playing in that team and he was such a good player,
you know, such a good either center half of midfield,
a good float between the two positions. Ben Thatcher was
raw as hell, but proper fallback, proper aggressive, real good
athleticism and a good left foot on him. So you know,
Mark was I think at one point the most expensive

(22:18):
teenager in British football. So you know, it's a big
credit to mill Was a football club to produce players
of that type. But as you keep selling players, it's
very hard to keep replacing with similar players, isn't it.
So eventually you run out of players and it hurt
the club for.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
A little while and I think a lot of that
was down to the chairman personally. Oh well, thanks a lot.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
They may my pleasure, John, I've absolutely been fascinated listening
to you with great inside. Many of us will be
at the then next Thursday for they wore the blue
and the Green event when you line up against or
not against the long David and h Brian looking forward

(23:04):
to it.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Yeah, I know them two guys obviously.

Speaker 9 (23:06):
I worked at millll under under Kenny Jacket and Fordy
was the goal at the time and Aida was a young.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Lad making his way into the first team. So yeah,
I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker 9 (23:15):
Yeah, it's going to be probably ford his accent is
a bit more pronounced Irishman than my one, but.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Is very pronounced. But it hasn't quite amazing because.

Speaker 9 (23:28):
If you're still keep in touch with Kenny, so Kenny
kind of makes up for it all.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah, he's a good guy. Ken.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
We're about these days. We don't have to tell us
his address.

Speaker 9 (23:36):
He flows between England and Ireland. He lives in Dublin,
back in Back in Dublin, he does the RT I
think the match that they equivalent over there, so he's
on the on the media quite a bit. Doesn't that
the national team as well. But he comes over a
fair bit to see his son Billy, so yeah. And
he's godfather to my to my kids as well, so yeah,
he pops by every so often.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
So well, he's good.

Speaker 9 (23:57):
So lucky to have a strong connection Ben Thatcher speak
to regularly. He's an agent now Scott Fitzgerald, who's your
canemy manage at Mill. Got a great relationship with Scott.
You know, he's doing a brilliant job at the club
and keeps the updated on how things are going there.
So it really feels the club we're in a as
an outsider working at a club like Watford, which with
the greatest respect is quite turbulent with the setup into

(24:20):
the first team managers coming quite frequently to mill All
where Scott seems pretty embedded into the.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Process of work that hopefully will bear through. You know.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, he seems to be doing well and he's been there,
really good time there. He really has some of us here,
and we'll look forward to seeing you next Thursday. We
might encourage a capital of others. I look forward to that.
Before you leave us, John, we do have Ted's predictionly
Ted's not with us, but he comes on occasionally and

(24:51):
does this bit, and there's three matches and we want
your predictions for him. The first one, of course, is
Portsmouth versus Millwall.

Speaker 9 (25:00):
I wouldn't be allowed back to the Dennis if I
said anything other than a Nell will win.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
And I'm going to go with like one mill Wall two.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Okay, how about Preston Blackburn.

Speaker 9 (25:10):
Probably after back of the international break. I'd go for
the home team more than the away teams, and Pressing
is stronger than Blackburn anyway, So yeah, home win for
Preston to Neil.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Lovely and last but not the least, I think they're
going to be battling these two Leicester versus Stoke.

Speaker 9 (25:29):
Yeah, I know Stoke could start a season well, but
I think Leicester will will connect and start clicking at
some point, so I'll go for Leicester to win again.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
I probably go. I think i'd go with maybe more
few more goals three three, one three one? What do
I win?

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Name?

Speaker 5 (25:45):
And if I get them all right to come back
next week?

Speaker 2 (25:48):
You could, But I mean last year someone asked to
go with Ted two mansies Iron Mash in New York.
Oh wow, Well he couldn't afford the fair so they
went to average instead, So that's not bad. Yeah, that
wasn't too bad. There's some variable options. You could be
lucky and get a signed copy of Brian King's biography.

(26:10):
That's quite nice to read, and that's an interesting one.
Let's be hopeful and you get one of the prizes.
We really appreciated joining us, John. We wish you and
yours all the best. Thank you guys, and see you
next Thursday. But from now bye cheers.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
Trunket guys.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Thank you what an interesting person to say the least.
We take a break and hear from Irvey Brown.

(28:01):
a progress and no one likes the Talking Team. Mill
Line is mill Romans and Pride along with many of

Ellis here, and I'm glad to be back talking about Mellwell.

Speaker 10 (28:22):
I know many have watched my videos.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Thanks for your support along the way.

Speaker 11 (28:28):
It is now time to hear what all the Mewell teams.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Are up to.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
Come on Nerewell.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Thanks as always, Ellis. Paul Loading brings us quite a
bit of news on the Millwill Romans and prize update
and something about playing a team down in the Royal
borough of Greenwich as well. Let's hear what Paul's got
to say.

Speaker 12 (28:50):
Hi, it's Paul Loading at the Mill Romans with an
update for the last few weeks.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
We'll back.

Speaker 12 (28:55):
On the ninth of November, the Romans team headed up
to Georgie's Park, the FA England training ground. It was
a really, really nice day out. The GFSN hosted the
quarterfinals there this year. We obviously had a twelve o'clock
kickoff against an nemicis the Mersey Marauders from Liverpool.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
They are a very good side.

Speaker 12 (29:15):
We've played them a couple of times in the last
twelve months, losing in the semi final earlier on this year.
Last season in the semi final of the gfs In
Cup and I was losing on penalties in Lyon as well,
so we were definitely up for the game. They are
a very very good side. They they they're well well organized.
They've obviously been playing together for a good couple of years.

(29:36):
The game kicks off, we had some We had some
good possession but just couldn't find the find them find
the there. They do defend incredibly well.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
And it was it was.

Speaker 12 (29:46):
They had a couple of good chances as well, to
be fair to them, but went into halftime at Neil nil.
Second half started and again very similar to the to
the finish off the of the first half, both teams pushing.
We definitely had the better chances, I would say, the
more busies in their half and we did manage to
score a goal within the last ten minutes. No flag

(30:07):
from the linesman, nothing from the referee, apart from a
few protests from the Mersey center backs. The referee then
went over to the linesman who was an official linesman.
They had a good chat for three or four minutes
before they decided to cancel the goal due to an
off side from Jaylamonius who didn't touch the ball but

(30:27):
allegedly was interfering. We play, We have seen the goalback
and we are a little bit devastated. It does seem
a very half decision. So the game finished after nineteen
minutes at Neil Neil. We went into penalties and we
missed i think our second penalty and never recovered and
unfortunately that puts them through to the semi final of
the gfcn Cup. In other news, good news for Pride

(30:51):
they're through to the next round of the London Unity
League Cup as they faced the East Then Phoenix last Sunday,
very late kick off their past five but they played
very very well and won three to two, so Grass
lats to them. They're thruit to the next round of
the London Unity League Cup. This weekend, the Romans team
are traveling to Southeast London to play Charlton in the

(31:14):
EUOL League. Charl the team we're playing is going to
be the team that came up from the lower division
from last year.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
We are playing them away.

Speaker 12 (31:23):
We are Romans are carrying a few injuries at the moment,
with a few strikers out, but it will always be
a tough game against Charlwen. That's three pm at Gwenny's
University in Chowen. Also this weekend the GFSN side, we've
entered a GFSN Shield this year, headed up by Pete
del Russo. The team from Bristol are traveling down again

(31:46):
to see us and play at Saint Paul's Sports Ground.
There's a twelve forty five kickoff on Sunday again.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
We played Bristol in a cup a few weeks ago.

Speaker 12 (31:54):
We also traveled down to Bristol back in September to
play the game.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
It would be a good, nice game.

Speaker 12 (32:01):
It's always nice to play teams other teams outside of London.
And that's a twelve forty five at some pauls Paul
Smouth Millwell, I'm going to say mild Are just going
to nick that one nil. I reckon Preston Blackburn. I
think Preston might take that two to one. And Leicester
Stoke I reckon, I reckon Lester and Nick that as

(32:21):
well to one.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Well, thanks very much, Paul. What's going on in all
sorts of leagues? Cups? They don't stop today and mill
All lionles is hosted Top of the table Saltdean United
in a league action last Sunday. Mill Community Trust Ki
Bennett shares a story that he sent to Maritime Radio.

Speaker 7 (32:43):
The Money.

Speaker 13 (32:43):
On Maritime Radio so Milwall lineess Is hosted top of
the table Salt Dean United on Sunday afternoon. Ky Bennett
was watching the action for US.

Speaker 14 (32:51):
Mill line Is kept their recent run of good form
going with a nil and ill draw against the league leaders,
Salt Dean United. Sult Dean are fairly physical side a
little bit like Dartford. The Lionesses knew what to expect.
The Lionesses stopped the ball from going into the back
of the net not one, not two, but five times
in the opening verse thirty minutes with an incredible bit

(33:12):
of defending from the defensive four and Victoria. The Lionesses, however,
had chances at the other end. Mia Lockett hit the
bar and Knita Throp's follow up effort really well saved
by the keeper. As the second half started and wore on,
the Lionesses gave momentum in the match and strikes from
Kira Watlin leave a help and Throp once again coming close.

(33:32):
Ronnie Richards pulled off two brilliant blocks to keep the
scores level, with the Lionesses so close to winning it
in injury time as Kineta played the ball through to
Kia Watlin, but she couldn't quite get on the end
of Knita's pass. Overall, a really solid point for Ted
Jones's side, who make it four unbeaten in the league
and four clean sheets in a row. Next up is
a trip to Barking next Sunday, where they'll be looking

(33:55):
to right the wrongs of a two underfeet last time
out against them.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Thanks Kai.

Speaker 13 (33:58):
Despite it being a goal of to draw, this was
an impressive performance by the Millwell line lesters, who continue
their outstanding league form. The next game is Sunday at
Barking FC. KI will update us next week back to
this morning more music.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
That was a significant point there, a good result. Can
they keep that unbeaten run going on Sunday at Barking FC. Well,
it's a three pm kickoff. There'd be a bit more
about that further on in the program. When Saturday arrived
before the international break, we hosted Preston North End at
the Den. Following the humiliating defeat at Birmingham, our first

(34:37):
and worst away defeat of the season. I'm going to
ask you some questions. I just want some short responses
to so saying, I'll start with you, when you saw
that game at Birmingham, what did you think about her performance?

Speaker 7 (34:54):
Absolutely appalling in every way, shape and form. You know,
when we had a similar performance against Coventry and then
we know what happened with the first goal, and you
told me your theory on it, and I didn't disagree
because I didn't see the first goal. And then I
asked and they agreed with it. But on the game

(35:15):
against Birmingham, there was absolutely no excuse, you know. I mean,
I think I was asked and I said, at the time,
we were total garbage. I mean, that's how bad it
was from my point of view. Now, hopefully that was
a one off and we won't have any more performances
like that again.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
So you're written it as these effects at the back
of all of this, while we haven't been as successful
in the last three games.

Speaker 10 (35:40):
Yeah, I think it really is. I think injuries have
and continue to play have it with the team, and
I think looking back, Fim has been our biggest miss.
He's a right handful going forward, but he's got goals
in him and we're one. We're missing those goals. But
I think also his presence in a team makes other
teams a double marking him or the you've got sort
of man marking him, and it's just opening spaces for

(36:02):
the others. And I think him not being in a team,
I think is for us both defensively and attacking, is
a problem because teams just can't come at us and
leave him out there because he'll he'll hurt them going forward.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Andy, what did you make those fantastic goals in the
mill Or Preston game.

Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yeah, it was a masterclass, wasn't it. Side Yeah, I
mean I thought we did enough to win that game
to be fair, but yeah, those goals were appauding, very
happy when we scored our one. But yeah, I did
think we were the better team on the day, have
more chances, and when you watch the highlights back of
that game, you know it was a lot better than

(36:43):
I can remember it at the time.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, holding Macco was on the score shape there. Yeah,
that's football. When this Saturday comes, we travel to a Pompey,
not Pompey, but Pompey. That's Portsmouth who last one seven
games ago, beating Barrow, owned by the odd goal. They

(37:06):
have drawn two of their last six games and lost four. Interestingly,
they also lost four nilt at Birmingham just before we did.
Despite our recent dipping form, we won three, drawn two
and lost one in our last six. Our injuries have
mounted again. However, the likes of Benda McNamara and Doughty

(37:31):
may return, but do we have enough strength in depth
to get back to winning ways. The book is at
Portsmouth at seven to four to win, a drawer at
two to one, and Milwe to win also at seven
to four. Extremely tight odds, tight game, where do you reckon? Team? Stand?

Speaker 7 (37:50):
Well, I think we can win the game. It's going
to be an odd game, no doubt about that. Funny
enough to Portsmouth supporters, I mean there is for sifrus
as we are, I mean our record again into Portsmouth
at Portsmouth, he's not bad of recent years and I
don't see no reason while we can't carry that on.
I mean, I think we'll win the game.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
And then actually think we will win the game by it.

Speaker 7 (38:12):
I think by I'll go say to one Steve, I
think we're going to nick it.

Speaker 10 (38:19):
I do hope he plays bellow on the left rather
than knocking him over to the right, which he has
done for the last couple of games. And I think defensively,
unless Danny's Beeck fully fit, then I hope he's going
to be playing Kramer at right back. I think we'll
probably nick it one nil.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Just be hopeful.

Speaker 8 (38:38):
And yeah, my head slightly worried about the defense with
Jake Cooper being out as well, Yeah, what's he going
to do with the krama? Sort of keep him in
the center or not bringing Grant. But you know, my
heart thinks we're going to win it, so I've gone
for a two nil. He's slightly concerned it.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Don't be too concerned about that, because my prediction is
we're going to win free nil. So there you go.
I hope that makes you you'll feel a lot better.

Speaker 7 (39:11):
But if we lose free nil, we won't be hearing
film here for a little more.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Well enough, that's probably true. Yeah, what are your predictions
for our other two games? Preston versus Blackburn?

Speaker 7 (39:25):
First of all, no, I think that would be a
one to one draw.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
And then moving on from there, we've got Leicester versus Stoke.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
Oh, I think Stoke will win that to nil.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Right, Andy, what do you reckon?

Speaker 8 (39:41):
Yeah, I've gone for a home win for Preston at
Lancashire Derby. But yeah, Bounder all for aren't they so
t one? You giving them a bad about the the
Leicester Stoke game. I've gone for a one drawer for that.
I mean Lester have got to win.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Some time of they and allegedly yeah, yeah, let's see
what as they say Steve.

Speaker 10 (40:03):
Preston are going to win two nil against Blackburn. Yeah,
and I think the Leicester Stoke game is going to
be a one one draw.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Right, And I'll make you all feel better again about
that one because I've gone for Leicester consuming that three
to one. But the Preston Blackburn game, I'm like minded
to stay. I'm going to go one one winner. That
sees all of our predictions out of the way. But

(40:35):
well that says but we also have got Nick Wire,
who's who's kindly sent his predictions in from the mill
Wall sicily side. So let's see what Nick has to say.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Hello everyone, these are my predictions.

Speaker 12 (40:49):
Asmith Neil Millwall three, Preston two, Blackburn Neil and Leicester
one Stoke one.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Thanks a lot. Well glad you agree with me about
the Millwall game there, Nick, it's good to have some
people that have optimism about their team, not like everyone
else we encounter. So that's great. And most of all,
thanks to Dave Hart for collating the results and producing

(41:21):
the table with more energy than a jurisial batteries. Our
second guest and his team managed the most complex and
rewarding responses that we can ever imagine in making a
difference in the community. Hello, once again the mill Community
Trusts CEO Sean Daily.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Good leave you everyone, hope you will.

Speaker 7 (41:45):
Yeah, congratulations and all Sel.

Speaker 15 (41:48):
Thank you very much, Dan, thank you, Hi, Shall and congratulations,
thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Well, as you know, it's me here, Sean, So we're
so happy if you could join us at short notice
because I didn't get to you too late. And I've
got to say that was absolutely always on Wednesday night. Anyway,
I'll pass you over to the panel. Thank you.

Speaker 10 (42:15):
I sure, And it's Steve here.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Hi, Steve, mate.

Speaker 10 (42:19):
On Wednesday you headed off to luis And for the
Council Awards. Could you share what happened there? We believe
it was something really quite special.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (42:27):
So about a month ago I received a new email
from the Mayor's office saying that I've been nominated by
the Mayor for the Lewisium Legacy Award, and you know,
would I be interested in accepting it?

Speaker 3 (42:42):
So of course, you know, a privileged award, you know,
award I wanted.

Speaker 15 (42:46):
I wanted to take it, so and I wrote back
and said yes, no problem and so but they said
I would like you to bring your family as well,
because we think it's quite a nice evening, so head
you down there. It was a lovely evening and what
it was he was the count or giving out awards
to local businesses around the area, things like local pubs,
local set up businesses, market it's really people that are

(43:11):
making difference within the borough of Lewisham. And then I
received a Legacy Award for my work within Lewisham. I
was taken back for really, because it's not really me
that does it all. It's my staff to do it all.
I just sort of like sit there and take all
of applaud it for it. But no, I was really

(43:31):
I was quite thrilled. I was very honored to even
be recommended, but let alone to win the award. So
it was a lovely evening and great for my family
as well, because I'm you know, it's nice for my
wife and a little boy to be there, and the
mayor talk very highly of myself and the Trust. And
I think back now six years ago when I first arrived,
we weren't even talking to Lewisham.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
You know, we're going through bad times.

Speaker 15 (43:55):
We were now to have a member of Millwall Football
Club receiving award for the imput and the social value
we're giving the borough off what was excellent.

Speaker 10 (44:05):
Sean, It's brilliant. We often when you're talking you do
the things that you do up at the Community Trust
and it's just brilliant and it's so well deserved and
it's congratulations to both you and the team.

Speaker 8 (44:15):
But someone's got to lead it and you.

Speaker 15 (44:17):
Know, no, thank you very much for that really, and
it's people like yourselves that give us all the support
and the profile.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
I'm not really into getting awards.

Speaker 15 (44:28):
I'd rather just get on with what we're doing and
I think, you know, to see smile on people's faces
and changing people's lives and give them.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Opportunities, that's more than anything.

Speaker 15 (44:37):
So I'm not really into that, but I was quite
honored to even be recommended. Let alone to actually say
the actual wards.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Yours so.

Speaker 8 (44:47):
Well done. Thank you, Hi Sel, it's Andy here. We
spoke earlier with John Goodman and he's really excited about
being involved in an evening with the Blue and Green
next Thursday. Tell us what to expect and how we
can join.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
I'm very much about that. You know, the club has
a history.

Speaker 15 (45:07):
The club has players that have represented the club and
we'd like to invite them back. Is that they leave
and then you never see them a game, but they're
part of our history. So I try and put on
these evenings where I like it myself as well, because
you know, I'm a Millwall fan, so to see these
players and to get close to them and listen to
the stories they've got, I think it's a great opportunity

(45:30):
for the fans to come and hear that. So we've
got Aidan O'Brien, John Goodman and David Ford and it's
going to be a couple of hours at the Den
where they're just going to talk around what it was
like playing in their times and you know, some of
the funny stories they'll come up with. And everyone we've
done has been well received by the fans and it's

(45:55):
just an opportunity for those players to come back and
be sort of like get closer to the fan and
just talk to them and the fans together opportunity to
chat to them personally. So we're looking forward to everyone,
you know. I want to put a couple more on
before the end of the season. It's just finding the
right people and getting the diaries correct. So I'm trying
to do one in February at the Theater Danny Catford

(46:18):
with a couple of big names.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
So I'm trying to work on that at the moment.
But it's always a great.

Speaker 8 (46:22):
Evening, sounds a really good night. How can people get
tickets for it?

Speaker 15 (46:25):
Yeah, so if you go on to the website or
the club website, you buy them through event right the
ten pound for the evening. There'll be like a pile
or something with that you'll get as well for it,
and it's just an opportunity to meet them, get your
photos with them, get some autographs, and then we do
an auction and we ask the players to bring something

(46:47):
in that they would auction off and all that money
will go to the trust, which we'll use that money
to offer opportunities for people. And Christmas coming up We've
got some activities that we want to fund during Christmas
TOI Sham, thank you.

Speaker 7 (47:03):
Sure stand here mate. Me Grant san Reagan and me
will be down here on the nick Sursday. And I've
heard about the new Mealwall Coaching Academy Pathway starting on
December first. Who is eligible to apply and what does
it involve.

Speaker 15 (47:21):
One of the things that we sort of like at
the Trust is we like to develop our own people,
develop our own coaches, and we changed a lot in
the last five years. We try and make sure that
we recruit from Lewisham and Suffolk because that's where we
do all our work. And we have a lot of
young people, you know, from sixteen upwards that would love

(47:43):
to be footballers, but maybe not going to be footballers,
but maybe we want to go down a coaching pathway.
But also that would give us some more of a
staff base. So we're setting up like a coaching pathway
where young people from sixteen to about twenty one can
come on get the coaching badges. The most important about

(48:03):
getting your coaching badges is the experience and actually having
the opportunity to work with people that are in the industry.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
So those people that will come on that course a pathway.

Speaker 15 (48:14):
They'll do their courses, they'll do their coaching badges. But
then what they'll do is they'll be mentored by some
of our current coaches. So they go to the schools,
they go to the holiday camps, so go to our
player development centers, and they'll actually see what it's like
to be on the ground working with young people and
then putting your coaching courses into practice. And what we're

(48:37):
hoping to try and do is develop our new workforce
through this program.

Speaker 7 (48:41):
Sounds interesting.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
It's a brilliant system. I mean, at the end of
the day, if you can, because you do it in us,
you develop the culture in those people that you espose yourself.
So that's an added benefit, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Yeah? Very much. So, you know I talked.

Speaker 15 (48:59):
You know, we have lots of people ring up and
say they'd love to be a coach and join millwall
A Community Trust and that, and they may have come
from other clubs. But if you develop your own people,
you mold them into how you want things done, because
they'll come with bad habits. You know, Oh we did
it like this at Paris, or we did it like
this at Chiltern when you're at Millwall now and we
do it like this, we are probably the front face

(49:21):
of the club. You know, we're in more places in
the club is you know, we're in forty odd schools
a week. We'll engage you forty and a half thousand
people in our programs. So I'm very much about we
wear the same kit as the club. You know, we
could be different, but no, we wear the same kit.
But when people moan about Millwell staff, they're only actually
about the Trust staff because that's the first people they see.

(49:44):
So we want to mold them into good people and
then they can see there's also a pathway where if
you look at all my staff now, all that staff
has come through as part time coaches. I haven't gone
out and i haven't gone out and got staff from
other places. I've literally molded and developed my staff to
be the staff that all the way through it, so

(50:05):
they see there could be a full time job within
the club and within the Trust.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Absolutely brilliant. Yeah, well, perhaps I could use some of
your methods of encouragement to get the team out for
the Sander's Dash. There being set stand they've already signed up,
could you help motivate the rest of our team and
perhaps some of the listeners too.

Speaker 15 (50:29):
Yeah, Christmas is always a busy time for us, you know,
lots of people shut down. What we try and do
some initiatives during Christmas that will support the community. So
we launched today to two new programs for Christmas. One
we do every year Donate a Coke where we ask
people if they could donate any of their old coats

(50:50):
to the Trust and were working with Crisis over Christmas.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
Crisis at Christmas.

Speaker 15 (50:56):
What they do is they will take on a couple
of local schools in Harrison, Burmersey, Harrison Peckham and they'll
set up the sports halls and they'll put the homeless
people in there over Christmas. And during that we'll get
the haircut, they'll get some clothes, they'll get all differently,
but they'll have Christmas in a sheltered place. And we
always try and help out with trying to send staff

(51:18):
down there. I'll go down there for a couple of
hours over Christmas and do some volunteering. We're giving tickets
to go to the game. But one of the big
things for me is that once Christmas and New Year's finished,
they'll go back onto the streets and if I can
get a load of coats and warm stuff for them,
we can give that to them. So we launch donate
a Coat today and you know the couple donate, some

(51:40):
staff will do it. We also another one we've launched
today was a giving true everybody knows that. You know,
we work with low income families. We put on the
Half Project where we offer free hot meals for children
during the school holidays. But what I want to try
and do on this program, because we're doing five days
over Christmas, some of those children aren't going to get

(52:03):
the presents that they preserve as their kids.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
And their families can't afford it.

Speaker 15 (52:08):
So what we're asking people to do is if we
have a tree that we're going to set up, it's
going to be set up over the weekend. If anyone
could come in and just put something under the tree,
we'll wrap it and make sure it goes to the
right people that need it, right for.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Boys and girls presents.

Speaker 15 (52:23):
And then of course we do the Santa Dash and
Santa Dash is just an opportunity for some of the
fans to get together, have a fun day, run to
some pools, or if the weather's bad, it we ran
the astro to effort a line center, have a mince pie,
a hot choker, and just talk to each other. It's
just a little bit, a little bit of fun. We
put it on for about three or four years now.

(52:45):
It's just just a great opportunity for people to get
together and just just up at the center's outfit and
be stupid for a couple of hours and just run
down to some pools and run back and then go
on to the game.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
And also, I won't be able to make it this
because I'll be I'll be in Vienna, but the rest
of them will turn up in their droves.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Well, and Steve said they were coming, didn't they.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Steve's definitely said he was coming earlier in the year.

Speaker 10 (53:13):
But on these are giving me a bit of chip
at the minute.

Speaker 8 (53:17):
It might have to be around the community center one.

Speaker 15 (53:19):
Day, listen, anything, I just want everyone in center outfit outfits.
That's all I want everyone.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
So there you go, Steve, there's no excuse now, all right, Andrew,
Andy and Ted get on. Ted. He's been a bit
weaker on this, and there you go. We'll have to
get to four. You ago. We've got Ted's prediction League
three Big matches and we'd love to me in your predictions.
First up is Portsmouth versus Milwell to nil to Millwall,

(53:50):
followed by Preston versus Blackburn. I'm going to go for
a nil Neil Floor.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
I just can't. I can't see much between those too.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Lesta versus Stoke, they're both.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
Close to us and they now, Yeah, selfishly, I'm going
to want to draw again. I'll go one one to draw.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
So we'll be the only winners that weekend.
