Matty Collins

Brian Rossiter brings a serious complaint to the fore....

Brian has sent me the following email...


don't know if you have noticed, but some of the "Bigger Boys" have been picking on little Matty Collins.

I know the club have a "No Tolerance" policy with bullying, so I thought it should be bought to the clubs notice.

Apparently the other players take all the smaller shorts and leave poor Matt with the largest pair (please see attached photo). I thought there was something wrong the other week when Matt kept falling over when nobody was near him (he kept standing on his shorts). Also on Saturday, with the high winds, he had to put Lead in his boots to stop him flying away.

It may be an idea to buy Matt his own special pair of shorts which fit him correctly!


Thank you Brian - I have noticed that this attitude stretches beyond the club. I produced evidence that clubs refused to cut the grass (see Brian's photo in the Kidlington folder) and now it seems that referee's are getting in on the act. Matty was shown the yellow card on Tuesday against Shrivenham for an alleged foul and it was obvious the ref was looking down on our skillful trickster.It couldn't have been for dissent MC is now not known for a short temper. What next - is he going to be victimised for pushing the ball through defenders legs - and then following it.

We will be watching developments with interest but in the meantime we will ask Squish to lend him a pair of his trousers for Saturday....
