Kuipers Testemonial - Reading

[Stat Brother]

Err, so you believe that everyone who plays pro football has the devine right to 'retire' at 35 and never work again?

Unfortunately for people of my age, we are likely to still be paying our mortgage well into our 60s and working into our 70s. I'm not bitter, but like FDM, I am not on 150k a week.

No, a testimonial is an appreciation of 10 years work, at one club.
The fact there aren't that many shows what an achievement that is.

It's not FDM's fault that top flight footballers are super rich and can afford to wave the 'pennies' a testimonial generates away.

If, and I hope he does, FDM trousers HIS cash given in recognition for HIS hard work, I'd me more than happy for him, and not bleat on that he should give it to charity.

Whilst on the subject of FDM, looked like he was having a great day out with his family at the Jubilee celebrations on The Broadway Haywards Heath

Michel Kuipers was a magnificient player for this club, and a thoroughly decent bloke. He deserves every penny he gets.
If you're reading this Michel, then thankyou for everything you did for us.

Given that some of the ex-pros of the same era are now working at Albion In the Community, which I can't imagine is that well paid, I can't believe they are exactly rolling in money.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Surely it could have been a match between Brighton and Crawley for the Kuipers Cup?

 

[Albion Robster]

Shame if it is Tues 7th as I'll miss it, going to Olympic Semi-final at Wembley.

Me too.

Tuesday 7th August wil be good it's 2 for 1 on garlic bread at Donatello's!

 

[AMEXican Wave]

Very uninspiring opponents. Was seriously hoping for an Ajax match.

 

[Icy Gull]

To be honest I'd happily pay money to see any old Albion game at our glorious home. Especially as by August it will have been THREE MONTHS without the Albion, pies, Harveys etc

I'd even be happy with a first team Vs development squad match with Kuipers in goal for either side and Gus and Tanno getting a cameo too.

Saved me typing more than seven words.

Good. Hope they enjoyed it. They're a smashing family and - IMHO, like - FDM would make an outsanding future ambassador for the club. He's a lovely guy!

Gave him my own testimonial in person, thanking him for all he did in the Albion keepers shirt

I assume all those saying he should donate to charity would donate their leaving presents from work?

They can have my book token!!

Well i hope to go to support the player...also wonder if they will have all stands open...as would b nice to sit in my new upper east seat

 

[Notters]

Pity we couldn't get a top club down for FDM's testimonial , Reading might pull in a 12k crowd if the pricing isn't ridiculous.

12, maybe

I'm at the morning Olympic session so might be able to get back. Public transport willing!

Hopefully bobby might play, will he score a goal at the Amex

Just telling the truth, nothing more, nothing less.
