As some of you are aware i am a plymothian and live in Australia.....
My view of the game from here was of utter pride and am really proud of our club.....
What a performance, i have done my stint on the spion kop terraces with the faithful 5000 in all weathers, and never have i seen a better display of football from MY HOME CLUB!!
I sit here and trawl the boards and look for news items on plymouth and to be honest there has never been so much coverage of my home town!!
Plymouth v Watford ......firstly the manager "ollie"....what a guy.......its like he has lived in plymouth all his life....he has passion for the club.....committment.....and drive... Just seen his interview after the game, no one can tell me he hasnt got his heart in plymouth......many a manager would be praising his team and saying "they gave 110 percent" not Ollie he tells it as is " he stated that his father always told him to not let the ball bounce when defending always be first to it!" this was a golden rule for my local footie side when i played and this is drummed in to you as a rule....... Good on you ollie, he doesnt like losing and has his heart in this club...
We should have at the very least got a goal! But credit to Watford for that one moment in the game (and it only takes one) they took advantage of our niavity and capitalised......having said that, for all those that saw the game, was it me or did argyle have total possession thereafter! Corners, freekicks and territorial possession!! brilliant that is all that i ask of my club, that at the very least even if they lose that they played well and gave their all, it was a magic game and nothing is more frustrating as a supporter than sitting here at 3am watching it live and having to silently cheer or ooh ahhh on yer own....
To Plymouth Argyle this is the very essence of why i support this club, they are the nice boys of football, with the furthest to travel of any club, and the committment of the manager, players and staff, any football supporter would envy!!
Proud proud proud are the 3 words i can describe in the way i feel about Plymouth and feel privelidged to have my ties to my birth place.......
Green Army I love you, Forever Green
