Smith Reacts To Goalkeeper Quips

Charlie Smith today reacted to comments yesterday from Rovers Manager Steve Hall that he would not be featuring in the finals line up as goalkeeper. "It's not my fault that Ten Left Feet scored ten goals against us two weeks ago" said Smith "there was no one tackling in front of me, the ref was against me and they got at least nine flukey goals". Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall said he needed to make a tough call in the semi-final and dropped Smith as keeper. "I thought Charlie (pictured) wasn't at his best in that game after his trip to England" said Hall "I thought he was lacking a bit of fitness and flexibility". Hall said yelling and screaming at the other players was an important part of playing in goal and he expected to have the defenders cover the opposition in the final. "We're going to have to tackle hard in the final" said Hall "but if we can play like we did in the first match against them then we'll be in with a chance".
