View Full Version : The Jube squad, was I right or wrong ?
So, just thought I would ask. How many of last years Jube team will be starting this year.
I stuck my neck out (maybe a bit tongue in cheek) and suggested that last years squad had a few 'pot hunters' or prem division 'has beens'. They certainly won a few pots, but has failing to make it to the prem split up the"local lads who drink in the pub and enjoy playing football for the Jube".

We have lost a couple of very key players in Jason Doggett (Capt - PNS) & Marcin Lubniewski (GK - Yaxley) Both have moved up a couple of leagues to UCL and I wish them all the best and you cant blaime them for wanting to better themselves, both will probably dual sign and help out if possible and a few others have left due to various reasons. But we have already signed the bulk of last years squad and added a few fresh faces which will give us a good squad capable of beating any team in Div 1 and there are a few more in the pipeline, so winning the tittle will be our no 1 aim next season now we have changed our name to get up inthe prem. I feel our main rivals will be Rutland, Netherton & Coates, but im sure it will be a close league and were just waiting to get started!!
CAFC have you manged to keep all your team together? As when we played you last season it appeared you relied to much on your star player Kevin Gilbert!!

you started off talkin sense and i really do hope we are in and amongst it at the end of the season but its going to be tough playin tough games week in week out for us but i think we're more than capable of having a good season!!
from wot i've seen at trainin we've kept all of our squad from last season apart from one who is still makin his mind up. but how can u come out and say we relied on one player kev gilbert!!! now i admire kevs footballing ability as much as the next man but to say we relied on him is a load of sh*t! we've got a great young squad most of which are capable of playin in the prem and carried on winnin when kev was away for a couple of months.
and at the end of the day we only let in about 15 league goals last season, nothing to do with our 'star player'!!

You cannot take away what you did last season you had a great year, but that was what we were told before we played you last season that if you keep Kev Gilbert quiet you keep Coates quiet. And when we played you that did seem the case as almost everything came through him and when you had the ball 99% of the time you looked for him, I am sure you will be up there again this year and we will look forward to playing you again.
Now I understand that people come and people go, but I was more interested to see how many of the 'honestly we are here for the long haul' brigade are still with you. I don't blame people for wanting to play at a higher level but there is lots of talk of the Jube being an established club worthy of playing in the Prem, my reaction last season was to 'suggest' that yes you are established but how far would your 'pot hunters' and 'prem has beens' carry you.
Question still remains, how many of the players that were with you "to get the Jube in the prem" last season are still with you ?
Now then Mr Eggbert, no need to get tetchy. You know as well as I do that we are a different team when Kev plays. I am also very aware that with a goal difference last season of +101 we aint bad at either end.
Jube, nobody has 'officially' left from last season. I am still concerned that we may lose 4 players although only one of them has actually had the balls to say anything to me. The bigger issue for me is that nobody fancies a go playing for the Mighty Coates. Only one new face for the first training session and I must have scared him off.
I have never been one for approaching players. Although I have done recently but not hopeful that he is going to come home !

Obviously,at any level every team has its 'star' player!
There is no doubt in my mind that Kev was the most influential member of our team last year,and the BEST player in division 2!
But at the back end of the season,when we needed wins,we went 6 or 7 games without Gilbert,and still managed to win the title!
I think our squad is more than capable this year,with or without new signings,and yet again,Kev will play a massive part!
I'm glad he's on my tem!! :nwy:
Fair point Craigo.
We had the best defence (judging by goals concede) in the division by a long long way. We also scored the most goals. I know and all at Coates know we are a pretty decent TEAM. And if we lost certain players it could really effect us. I aint gonna mention any names.
Jube, I also meant to mention that a lot of people thought it was the fact that you had a pub name that stopped you getting in the Prem, personally I can't believe that, I thought it was your lack of facilities, although from what Spec has said in the past those rules seem to be bent from time to time.
No mention of Chatteris, Guyhirn or Thorney. Anyone gonna put a case forward for these guys ?
CAFC - what are you talking about - pot hunters and prem has beens??
Most players in the side last year drink in the Jub and are associated with Bretton itself either by living there or going to school there so always associated with the Club - bit like Coates!!??
Yes, U did do well last year but lets be honest it was a mickey mouse league (div 2) and now you have come up to the big boys league we will see how you get on and how well you cope with competitve games week in week out!! If I rememebr correctly Jub, Comfortably knocked you out the cup last year with you not having a shot on goal!!
As for the title, jub will do ok but will find it hard without there better players, for me it will be Rutland, chatteris, Netherton and one surprise - maybe Coates ?? :soo:
JNE that is exactly what I am talking about. Are the players associated with Bretton, school or pub, still playing for the Jube this year. I'm guessing maybe not, so where's the loyalty that was being banded about last season ? Were you part of the team last season ? Have you moved on ? Does that make you a pot hunter ? Just kidding, honest.
Not sure what you would know about 'mickey mouse leagues' but time will tell and I hope to ram those few words down your throat. Just kidding again. But I am enjoying the chat.
As I remember it, we had 2 shots on goal and you didn't have many more. The best team won on an overall performance. We were very well contained and as you are probably suggesting didn't really trouble the mountain you had in goal.
Personally i'll go for Rutland, Netherton, Jube. And if all goes well I am looking forward to some competitve games.

CAFC - We still have almost all the local lads who drink in the pub except for a couple who have gone higher to play in the UCL so you cant blaime them for that so you are guessing wrong!! The rest are still here with several new additions we cant wait to get started, JNE has gone to PNS but is a local lad and has played for and been involved with the Jube for years so not a glory or put hunter at all!!
We totally dominated the game against you last year and should of won by many more, and there are several tough teams in Div 1 so I feel it will be tough year for you but I think you will surprise some teams and we look forward to playing you next year!!

CAFC - Further to your point about the name that was all that would of stopped us going up, as we would of moved to Ringwood and league officals visted the end of last season to inspect the facilities and passed them as Prem standard. So with that good news the league is now our main aim, as for our tittles contenders I still think the main ones will be Rutland & Netherton and we took 10 points off them last season so we should be pushing again this year.
Not sure on what basis you should have won by many more but whatever. Thats history.
Sounds like its all good for the Jube. Good luck.

I forgot how good the banter on this site was, its well worth a visit when i come home lol! Crofty is on here :lol: LEGEND! divison 2 might not be anything compared to divison 1! its not obviously but you can only beat whats in front of you and we certainly did that pretty well! excellent league form, especially final 7 or so matches a good cup run with some good performances agaisnt decent opposition makes a pretty good season
next year playing good teams week in week out is only good for coates and definatly we will see how good our young squad really is! i think were good enough to compete(guess we will see) im looking foward to putting ourselves up agaisnt a much higher standard! sorry if im wrong but i thought we was awful agaisnt jube ( dont think they have seen us play yet)as they controlled the whole match, think we was too pumped for that match and ended an anticlimax for us! very dissapointed after how we beat griffin park and chatteris rather impressively, this is the season that were all looking foward to!
finally..... :blh: i am thick and dont no jack so ill leave the banter to you lads! keep it up!
OH AND :pty: AND GAFFERS SATURDAY! evEryone invited
sorry CAFC :mnn:
Super Jube it would seem that things at Bretton did not go as planned this season. What happened ? You quite clearly lost more than the 2 players you mentioned at the start of this thread. Is it a loyalty thing, bearing in mind plenty of players claim that they just want to play football with there mates, maybe they have more loyalty to their mates than any club.
Nothing to do with loyalty and more to do with the running of the club and also the lack of possibility of being promoted to the prem!!
Nearly all the squad left to pastures new after the clubs most successful season ever. However to be frank, the sponsorship from the pub coupled with the shambles they call the committee has led to them coming bottom this season! I am not even sure they have applied to play next year - unless wayne has done it!?
The team is still there but the club is not (hope that makes sense!) so there is a lot to do to restore Jubilee (as it will always be known) to where it belongs!
Sure it makes sense, without any foundations what is there to build on. Other than dug outs, doesn't Ringwood fulfil the requirements ?

you don't have to have dug-outs do you?
PSL don't and I remember back in the day Ortonians never had them
Yep, you do. Pretty sure they have to be big enough for 8 people as well. Also I think anyone who was currently in the Prem had to be 'working towards' the improvements. I know Rutland have spent quite a few quid on dig outs and showers to get them to Prem standard.
Sean - PSL do have dug out's, fair enough they are very heavy wooden one's, but we do have them mate. Loyalty plays a big part in any clubs success, but like mentioned earlier in this thread players tend to go where mates are these days ( cant blame them to a certain extent ).
Back of the Net
25-04-2008, 14:55
mate I know PSL actually owns a set but they're rarely seen.
Ortonians may have owned some too but they were never seen?
Player loyalty is an issue for many clubs but thankfully we don't fall into that bracket (for now), others are the same as they have lots of mates playing as a club and only bring lads in that fit into that catagory.... Look at Gino at Eye for example, all really good mates and that brings loyalty, it's something I believe you have to work hard to manage - the best I ever saw at it was Dave Willis at Crowland, the way he managed the club and brought lads in that made friends and felt a part of the club was superb, it followed their mates wanted to join them too and then it then worked on the pitch etc....
I've seen no end of clubs simply bring endless players in with no thought for how they fit with the lads already there and then they wonder why the same amount leave on a regular basis..... The debate on the issue is endless though - Players will blame clubs and clubs blame players.. I really hope JNE come back with avengance next term!

Sad to see the old club in such disarray, spent many a good season with some good footballers putting the club first and foremost, Nigel robinson, john crawford use to be the main men then, just felt when i played there that the league had a hidden agenda where they were concerned.

The main problem with the Jube was the commitee there was to many problems off the feild as no organisation at all, so all the good players left which you cannot blaime them for!! They lost 5 key players to perkins who were regulars this season helping them lift the prem title, also they lost the best goalkeeper I have seen in local football ever MarcinLubniewski.
Pretty much the same at PSL, a great team last season, start of this season they were missing a few from last season, then AL ( & fair play to him ) gets the chance to go UCL ( which he has wanted to do for a long time ) and does so taking with him GOOD LOYAL PLAYERS ( that are good friends ). Once the core of those left a few others did ( Hence players not having a loyalty to the club, one exception JOE DUFFY ), this left the club/team in the same sort of situation ( PLAYER WISE ) as the Jubilee. You would struggle at any club to replace them sort of players. Still only 4 games to go till the end of the season ( thankfully ).
from what i have been told most of the jube's committee is made up of people who now play for other clubs so why would they care about helping the club
As someone who spent a lot of years at the Jube is very sad that we seem to be dragging this issue up again. At the end of the day for many years the Jube have strived to get into the prem but been turned down by the league for many reasons, Clubs finances not in order, pitch being too far away from the changing rooms, pitch not being our own (council), the list goes on. The fact is a lot of people have put a lot of time and effort into that club but when they move on deem it right to put it down. I have moved on myself but only to improve my chances of managing a side and would certainly not put down the efforts of people like Nigel and Wayne. Players have also moved on because of the fact that every time we got close to going up another walll was put up in front of us.

:whs:
Jimmy is right about PSL. All I know is that with work, we can get back up there. We have some new players and the core of us are loyal. The others who don't want to turn up every week or don't give a sh*t on the pitch are the ones who need to move themselves on. With the core four or five that we do have, we can build around; we know enough good players between us that we can bring in, with the same ethos and drive - to bring the club back where it should be.
That is reliant on us keeping that core together for the start of pre-season training.
People like Eddy Lungay travel from Luton to play for PSL!

From a personal perspective its a shame for the jubilee to be where they are at the moment ive never played there but i know a lot of lads who have and still play. I dont know the ins and outs of what was going on in the past and in the present, it cant help matters when the pub is being closed down and taken over as far as sponsorship is concerned. I know people like nigel do a fantastic job for the club but they cant go on the forever the club needs new faces and new ideas to take it back where it belongs. As for psl that will always be my first club and raph you're spot on mate its a great club with good people behind the scenes. Keep the nucleus of the 5 or 6 players who are loyal and build the team around that mate, keep jimmy there for next season and gotta be looking for top six finish?
That's the aim mate. I'm sure Jimmy will stay when it comes down to it. He has the support of PSL and the players. With a good pre-season and the right type of player brought in who are good enough, reliable and will mix well socially as well - then we will be realistically looking top half.
As for Jube, I hope things work themselves out. We need clubs with local history (and that's from a Chelsea fan ;))
Hard to say what is happening with the Jube pub as hearing plenty of rumours but it is defo on the decline.
With the successful sunday side having it last ever game on Sunday and the Saturday side in freefall I can only see the club folding. This is very unfortunate and as a Jube lad I for one will be very sad to see it go!
Too many factors to mention has contributed towards this demise for a great club but I for one want to thank Nigel, shakie, jacko, john crawford, wayne and everyone else who has been involved with the club for some great memories as a player and supporter. Will be very emotional day on Sunday for a number of players/supporters of the club as an end of an era is here and win or lose everyone can be proud of what we have achieved!!
Jube till I die!!

It will be sad to the jubilee go as far as sunday football is concerned, surely we cant have racing as a local derby none of them lads can drink! Foggs surely you musy be able to rally the troops together and make jubilee a sat side once again?
Not about getting a side Joe, more about the behind the scenes. No one even knows what happening so hard to get it sorted. Iwill help in any way possible if asked.
