10th August BATTLE DAY VIETNAM

I agree with your thoughts Mike.

I might add Full Metal Jacket and Hamburger Hill.

First 10 minutes of "Dead presidents".

Mike! We've missed you!

Interesting discussion on the best Vietnam films.

Danger Close is my favourite. This is because of the accompanying documentary from the same director and of course your game at the WWW. It inspired me to get my own Australian figures 😁

Apocalypse Now is my second favorite followed by Platoon.

Full Metal Jacket is great too as is Hamburger Hill. Not sure about John Wayne's Green Berets though 😂

The hell you are.

Some videos for players to revise from.

Always useful to remind oneself of the basics.

[martin goddard]

I shall certainly look at them.

Unfortunately I'm having to bow out. Ava, who has signed for Stoke City this season, makes her debut now on Saturday. It's a last minute pre season game but I can't miss her first time in Stoke City colours 😊

There's plenty of other game days but only once your daughter makes her debut for Stoke!

Enjoy and I expect plenty of reportage on the day!

[martin goddard]

That is a great achievement Sean.
Congratulations.
I think she will meet Gordon Banks, stripey red and white kit ,he plays for Stoke.

Sorry you have to miss this one Sean, but well done Ava!

In other news, I have managed to re-negotiate my domestic arrangements and am now free to turn out for Team Pig in my pink T-shirt for the Poole fixture on Saturday

Is it OK if I join you chaps?

It will be lovely to see you there Simon.
Don't forget to use the phrases "Play it loud?", "Don't get out of the boat ", "With extreme prejudice"  and "Xin Chao"

or other  Robin Williams phrases that we have all enjoyed.

Dressing up should be encouraged! A Robert Duval lookalike 😀

Thanks Martin - it will be lovely to see everyone.

Do I need to bring anything, beyond dice, chocolate biscuits and table fees?

Easy for you to say from the safety of the football terraces, Sean
