Partick Thistle (Second Division, 2006) CURRENT SQUAD Blue: On Loan C: Captain VC: Vice-Captain CURRENT STARS Bobby Mann Bobby Mann is the most experienced member of the Peterhead side and is also the captain. Just a few years ago he was playing in the SPL with Dundee and he is vital to The Blue Toon if they are to get somewhere this season. Jamie Buchan This 30 year old defender has also played in the SPL, with Dundee Utd and Aberdeen, he has much more experience in that division than Bobby Mann. He is a solid centre back but can play in the centre of midfield if needs be. Donnie Munro Donnie Munro is a fairly experienced midfielder who has quickly established himself in the first team since his arrival from Buckie Thistle. Marino Keith Marino Keith is a very well known player having been a regular for teams like Plymouth Argyle and Falkirk. The 32 year old is known for scoring goals no matter where he is but there is a sense of the fans not accepting him as he started his career at fierce rivals Fraserburgh. | | | | | 29-07-08, 02:59 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Indispensable To FMF Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Sheffield Posts: 1,520 Thanks: 430 Thanked 308 Times in 292 Posts Nominated 6 Times in 2 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | I don't know where but I think i've seen this before... but where. lol Good start mate. | This is for you James, hope you like it  | | | 29-07-08, 03:06 PM | #3 (permalink) | | vBookie Team, Member of the Ozza Family Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Cheshire Posts: 2,798 Thanks: 654 Thanked 438 Times in 360 Posts Nominated 5 Times in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | The Phone Call... I sat down in my living room, having just been sacked by Chester City. I was trying to decide how i would break the news to my wife, when the phone rang. I disgruntedly stood up and sloped in the direction of the noise. "Hello, is this Daniel Worrall?" said a deep voiced Scottish man on the other end of the phone. "Yep, or at least it is until my wife gets home." I replied "Ermm.. Ok. It's Peterhead Football Club, we would like you to come up to Peterhead so we can discuss the possibility of you becoming our new manager." I didn't reply. "Mr.Worrall, are you still there?" "So you want me, the man who just got Chester City relegated to manage your club?" "Yep, we've sent someone to pick you up. He should be there in half an hour, be ready." Before i had the opportunity to say anything, the man had hung up. My wife, Becky, wandered in just as i stepped away from the phone. "Daniel, i've heard the news. What are we gonna do?" she said. "I've just spoken to someone from Peterhead, they're sending someone down here to pick us up." "Why do they want you? You did crap at Chester, Peterhead arn't a bad side." "Thanks for the vote of confidence." | | | | | 29-07-08, 03:08 PM | #4 (permalink) | | vBookie Team, Member of the Ozza Family Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Cheshire Posts: 2,798 Thanks: 654 Thanked 438 Times in 360 Posts Nominated 5 Times in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | This is my 2nd attempt at the story - Back In Business. | | | | 29-07-08, 03:12 PM | #5 (permalink) | | FMF Moderator Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Dundalk, Ireland Posts: 3,065 Thanks: 227 Thanked 475 Times in 392 Posts Nominated 6 Times in 5 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | good luck buddy, what happened to the last game lol | Sig by Liveru, thanks mate  Current Game: Bradford City | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to John10 For This Useful Post: | | 29-07-08, 03:14 PM | #6 (permalink) | | Used In Squad Rotation Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 366 Thanks: 107 Thanked 65 Times in 65 Posts Nominated 2 Times in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | This is really well laid out.
