Mark Posted 10 August 2005 Share Posted 10 August 2005 I think he would be eligible to play after March the 1st - which according to his profile is when his 16th birthday is. I remember towards the end of the 2002/03 season, Rooney turned 16 just before the final game of the season and he was named as a sub for that game, didn't make an appearence though.

Steven Posted 10 August 2005 Author Share Posted 10 August 2005 Oh dear. 6 - 1. <_< RESERVES START SEASON IN STYLEPortsmouth's youthful reserve side took on their Leicester counterparts at West Leigh Park tonight. Leicester dominated the first 30 minutes, and went 1 - 0 ahead when O'Grady sidefooted home after 40 mins. Pompey went level when Donaghey's free kick was picked up by Keene. The second half was turned on its head with 2 goals in as many minutes. Todorov was brought down by Henderson in the leicester goal, and picked himself up to kick home to make it 2-1. Then Horsted made it 3 when he came in from the left and shot under Hendersons body. Keene scored his second and Pompey's fourth when he bundled home from close range, and 6 wasn't long coming when Fordyce got on the end of Horsted's shot which the keeper failed to hold. Keene celebrated his hat-trick in fine style with a rasping shot from outside the area. Indeed by the end Pompey could have scored more.

cisono Posted 10 August 2005 Share Posted 10 August 2005 Reserves Fall To Pompey A fledgling Leicester City reserve side went down 6-1 at the hands of Portsmouth at West Leigh Park on Wednesday night. LCFC page This bit is what struck me: "The Foxes controlled the game for the opening period and duly took the lead through Academy striker James Graham (pictured) in the 36th minute. But Pompey levelled before the end of the half, and the game would turn on it's head at the start of the second period when the home side added two goals in as many minutes. Portsmouth would add three further goals before the end of the game, leaving Leicester coach Kenny Black to reflect on what might have been. He said: "We did well for the opening 43 minutes and could have quite conceivably been three or four goals to the good. But they equalised against the run of play at the end of the half and we collapsed after that. We let ourselves down. "For as good as we were in the first half we were doubly bad in the second. " Doesn't this ring a bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 10 August 2005 Author Share Posted 10 August 2005 Or this version from Portsmouth Rivals. Keene nets triple as Leicester are outfoxedBy Chris Gibbs at West Leigh Park Date: 10/8/2005 POMPEY RES 6 LEICESTER 1 ++++ James Keene was the star of the show as Pompey started their season with a thumping win over Leicester at West Leigh Park. Pompey reserves rattled in five second half goals as they put Leicester to the sword in the first FA Premier League Reserve South game of the season. After an insipid first half performance, which saw Leicester squander plenty of chances, Pompey were a side transformed after the break. In the stands were a couple of representatives from Sheffield United, while Fratton old boy Kenny Black turned up on the coaching staff at the Walkers Stadium. After two minutes Leicester created the first chance, Ricky Muggleton heading over a corner setting up the pattern for the half. Svet Todorov did see one weak early shot saved, but after that Pompey had to be thankful to goalkeeper Andreas Guatelli, who made a string of fine saves. Veteran Tommy Wright hit a post after eight minutes then Alan Sheenan saw a volley pushed away for a corner after 11. Louis Dodds was denied by a fine last ditch tackle by Gary Silk, then Muggleton shot wide in the 21st minute. In the 32nd minute Pompey lifted the siege when Keene beat two defenders and passed to Todorov who then fed Daryl Fordyce, but he shot over. Leicester went deservedly ahead after 36 minutes when Levi Porter fed the troublesome Chris O'Grady whose cross was converted by James Graham from close range. Pompey levelled against the run of play seven minutes later when Todorov flicked on a free kick and Keene finished from six yards. Pompey were clearly fired up after the break and at once took the lead as Liam Horstead ran across the area and slipped the ball through to an offside-looking Todorov, who was brought down by the keeper. It seemed a generous award, but Todorov showed no mercy from the spot. In the 48th minute Pompey stretched their lead when Horstead surged into the box and his cross-cum-shot was helped into his own net by goalkeeper Paul Henderson. Guatelli injured himself saving Sheenan's shot in the 51st minute but was able to continue after treatment and on the hour Pompey scored again as Horstead combined with Harry Donaghey down the left and his cross was slid home by Keene at the second attempt. Horstead was having a storming game and he was involved in the fifth goal on 66 minutes as he fought off a challenge in the box before finding Fordyce who forced the ball home. A minute later it was 6-1 as Keene surged into the area and his goal bound shot deflected past the goalkeeper. Leicester's misery still wasn't over as Ashley Chambers somehow missed from three yards, then a body check on Horstead by Sheenan earned him a second yellow card. As this was going on Guatelli had aggravated his earlier injury in making a save and had to be replaced by Harris. POMPEY: Guatelli (Harris), Settle, Donaghey, Cousins, Silk, Day (Roberts), Fordyce, Wilson, Todorov (Carter-Harris), Keene, Horstead.

Hitesh Posted 10 August 2005 Share Posted 10 August 2005 Not a great night then! Worse than last season when we went 4-0 down early on but even then we managed to pull it back in the second half to 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 11 August 2005 Share Posted 11 August 2005 That Keene is quality for Portsmouth, he scores so many goals for their reserves. I'd keep an eye on him if I was Levein and make a move if he doesn't break through for Pompey. Henderson has conceded 13 goals in 3 games!!!!! Amazing.

mr potatohead Posted 11 August 2005 Share Posted 11 August 2005 Leicester as stated had a decent first half but after the break were shocking.Henderson had a nightmare .The back four were all over the place , Sheehan showed his immaturity with a sending off.If this is Kenny Blacks idea of football he should give up , long ball punted up to O'grady everbody charge on in case he gets a head to it.O grady as I have said before is not a goal scorer.There is a goal scorer who did ok but got subbed .James graham must have pissed someone off big time!! .
