Tommy's Pre-Match Interview

[steveshot]

Good interview that. Now get us the icing on the cake please Tommy

[Old Bob]

Sittingbourne was the quarter final. Team selection became a massive issue after the Woking semi final especially Woking away. He definitely wasn't referring to Countdown!

Yes, Josh. I did of course mean quarter final. Thanks for the correction.

[Old Bob]

Wasn’t referring specifically to you OB - just pointing out that YOUR priority is not necessarily the same as other people’s priority - and not necessarily the right priority. End of the day, it’s Tommy’s job and Tommy’s decision.

OK, Nobby. Understood.

It is of course Tommy's decision. But if he makes bad ones, he has to expect flak.

As for priorities, there is actually no need whatsoever to prioritise the FA Trophy over the league or vice versa. It’s a false dichotomy. You simply aim to win all your important games. All of them.

Just for a moment I thought that a general air of happiness, togetherness and bonhomie had broken out on ShotsWeb and that we were all going to enjoy our once-in-lifetime day out at Wembley.

But then Old Bob reassured me that it hadn't.

Ah, but LA, you can enjoy happiness, togetherness, bonhomie, all those things, without losing a grip on reality. We can all enjoy the moment ... league safety and a Wembley appearance, maybe even a Wembley win. Whyever not?

I sincerely hope for the sake of our younger fans that tomorrow is not a once-in-a-lifetime day out. OK, it probably will be for old farts like me, but I'd like to think Tommy and his team have broken the hoodoo and there will be future trips to Wembley.

Tomorrow is going to be great. I’m not going desperate for us to win, of course that is what I want, but more than that it is the come togetherness of all the Shots fraternity from over the years, to get in the pub, have a drink, acquaint with those from near and far and show everyone how much noise we can make.

If we score it will be mental, if we win I will be in La La Land. I can’t wait to get on the train tomorrow.
Come On The Shots, let’s have the best day out ever!

I will be VERY disappointed if we don’t perform and lose!

Completely agree Alex, we should beat a part time
team on a small budget, but this is football and anything can happen on the day. Relish the occasion whatever the result.

[FloridaPhil]

Nothing about Hargreaves.

“Neither club have played at Wembley”. Spennymoor won the Vase there in 2013.

Good interview I thought.

When he said neither club, I took it as Aldershot FC & Aldershot Town FC.

RE: Hargreaves - playing team selection close to his chest maybe?

Yeah, good point, but I don’t think that’s what he meant.

Anyway, roll on next season!

COYS!!

Hoping the club can release some sort of post-match interview with Tommy. It was a shame not to get one yesterday, although totally understandable given the chaos of the celebrations. I'd like to hear his take on the game.

[Alex]

I think there has been something somewhere and he comes out with one of his favourite sayings, again!

You really are a bore.
