Assessments
Collectively
Progressing, demoralisation an issue. Inside games or outside games Vote - 3 to each side, to be decided. From now on, the nicer Pitch to be booked whenever possible!
Owen
Bad performance today but very apologetic and humble. Salutes to him as the rock of our team over the last two terms. He's concerned about defense issues, would prefer more constant subs, a good 5 minutes is better than a poor 10.
Geth
Wet t-shirt competition. Improved fitness, dramatic personal improvement! Makes the point that we can't tackle, calls for more maleable passing. Today was best game of his season.
Roth
Square formation is way of the future. Pass the ball more often, not always rushing up. Going in to space. Capable of defense. Needs to be more decisive. Finds shouting from the sidelines helpful.
Will
Good goal scorer, good runner, but underachieving? Some fine goals, excellent up front but needs to be more defensively minded. Needs to come in deep so defenders can pass to hiim.
Jack
Solid, THE defense, good on the volley, good on the vision. MALEABLE, apologises for todays negativity.
Rhys
Fitness issues - quit the ol' smokes? hesitates on the ball. Positioning and tactical awareness excellent, never let's his height get him down, a great addition.
Sam
Soluble, available, playmaker, communicator, heart of the team, god. More shooting though, more freedom to be the king, whatever wherever.
Ricardo
NEEDS SHOES WITH GRIPS, falls on his arse to many times and slides around. Need a return to the aggression of the early season, needs more confidence and meeting the ball. Positive, maleable,good passing when actually has the ball, fouls well.
Roth
Powers of analysis excellent, needs to be more switched on. Indecision however a magnificent comeback from his retirement in Summer 2001, first game in years.Good passing and willingness to learn.
Jimmy
Ball control an issue, but enthusiastic, needs more pace and confidence. Needs to stay awake in lectures, we need him next season too!
Election Speeches
Speeches made for the election of next years Captaincy, still accepting speeches. Votes to be made secretly to Ricardo via MSN.
Gethins Election Speech – Notes
More organised
got up the most - commitment
taken extra responsibilities
Return of the Rota
Rothelite exempt from rota debate, claims (justified) ignorance
Gethins Innovations : Socials - too much tension at end of games
Fitness - don't turn into a pie
Sams Election Speech – Notes
Warming, Growing, captaining, changing, supporting, encouraging, delegationing, talking, texting, training, socialising, democracying, Jugging and Jestering, Varsitying, Making a Difference..........Football.
_Question : Does missing lectures have an adverse effect on play?
Answer : Cheltenham is detrimental to Actington. EXPERIENCE._
Tom
Offered Tom a contract, Jules acting as ambassador to Tom. Votes for Tom and his skills to join the team overwhelmingly in favour.
DINNER DANCE
Thursday 8:00 – Drink in Rootes social, bit of pool, bit of table football. Then company picnic outside battered, possible Rotheliting to follow. Dress Code : hats (and clothes). Hugh to be emailed, ALL WELCOME, esp. supporters.
Formation and Training
Tobe decided following captaincy vote.
Special Mentions
To Julia, who is constantly in support, excellent chanting and dancing and moral support, thankyou!!

Other business
BUTTER WORTH HALL BOOKED FOR THE NEXT AGM
RAFFLE – signed actington ball, do it for the kids.
ARE SAM AND GETH IN LOVE? – platonically probably, overwhelming vote in favour of the motion. Sam 'wouldn;t call it love as such'.
IS WILL A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT?

[Skip to the latest comment]i can honestly say that made me laugh out loud and i was there!

Thanks to Ricardo for his secretarial prowess
Elections are exciting…though i was disappointed these minutes excluded the phrase MSN Elections

(plus Geth says he is rehearsing till ten…obv we are not cancelling but a reconsider is a possibility…who knows!)
See You Thursday Boys…

Hugh Denard
Solid,THE heart of AS, almost god-like in his classical play. Fitness an issue, give up the ol'smokes?concerend about defensive issues. Good analytical skils and always ready to organise a team social
Shrewing
demoralisation an issue. commitment?work on fitness and attendance, needs to make herself more available
Elaine T
solid, exciting, good on the volley. Always ready with an inspirational turn of phrase 'no blueprints'...but sometimes slightly arrogant in her instructions on the pitch 'Am I Right?'...god team player but not captaincy material. Doesn't let her height get her down, good season and a good new attribute to the team
David Thomas
Solid, big strong. no frills. we know from his video link up that he has good vision, but sometimes it can get a little hazy
JimmyD
team leader, fearless, underachieving?needs to be more foreful in the tackle...always brings oranges and orange peel at half time. Needs a return to aggression of old
Yocken
intense and young, but lost the dressing room...best off out of the hustle and bustle of uni footy
Graham W
fearless, imaginative, brave and loud. sadly missed
Gerry
Solid, consistent, clever little passes and agile. Malleable!
Beechy, The Beach Nut, The Big Beach Ball
clever, experienced, good out in front. sometimes getslazy and goes through the motions...can be better
Helena
seems to be a good new addition - good communicator, enthusiastic - but is hesitant. will have to wait to make a clearer judgement

Many apologies for my absence from AGM. Was in 'black' mood after accusations of laziness, losing, playing a bit shit and my knees hurt. All improving/better now though. As departing captain, would like to volunteer Jack as captain. Played every game, been there since beginning. Am in concurrence with majority of points on an excellent blog entry. Personal suggestion… no negativity. Doesn't help anything. There we go. See you tomorrow y'all for the eagerly anticipated dinner dance. Oh yeah… CONSIDER THAT FOR SOME PEOPLE GETTING ON HATS HAS SERIOUS PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES!

The Rothelite
Sam's persona analysis is hilarious. I like that I can comment under a different name its very maleable.
