My question would only be.....rather a remark actually.....is that the way you imagine a Slovak name?...that is by far the worst name and by far the most unSlovak Slovak name Ive ever came across. By the way,my judgement comes from me being a Slovak.

I am sorry it offends you. I did not intentionally set out to upset anyone, It is just my name backwards (pathetic).
 
Any chance of an update soon? I really want to read more.

LOL

Get over yourself.

He chose a nation and then put his name backwards.

What did you want? Him to do some research before naming a made up player?

My story about a New Zealander is about a man called Semaj Namdear, would you like to go on that story and whinge about the name?

And....why could there not be a Slovakian somewhere called Sirk Noskcaj? it's like saying an English man can't be called Mohammed. You massive racist.

look closely and you'll notice that it's his name, 'Kris Jackson' backwards, quite clever really..
 
To Kris: sorry mate,didnt want to make you gettin the impression of offending anyone, it just sounds silly when a slovak pronounces that /oh yes,we can pronounce that ^^) /

To HarryinHD: Me know that it was his name backwards....me no stupid ;) , it just sounds silly as mentioned before

Following our comprehensive win last night I have given the whole team the day off. A promise I will honour for the season. We’re at home to Lifosa this Friday, so my plans for today include going over what little information I have conjured up on our opposition and doing some housework.

# # #

I have never grown accustomed to having days off, the day was fairly odd. Not knowing what to do with my time is not something that bodes well with me. I spent the morning doing household chores and tasks, something which I have found to be very therapeutic. Must make sure nobody ever, EVER! Catches me with my rubber gloves on, doing the washing up.

As hard as I tried to keep busy I kept looking back on my unexpected text at the end of the night. I had done especially well to make sure my time here went with little to no distractions; Selma’s text was like a shot to the head. How was I supposed to reply to that? As cruel as it may seem, at this stage the last thing I needed was an incident to keep my mind off my job. I deleted the text and decided that, for now at least, I would keep my mind off her.

# # #

By the late evening I was feeling down and depressed. Selma may just have been down or had a bad day, looking for someone comforting to talk too and I just left her. She was kind enough to go to the trouble of finding out how I got on and I ignore her.

In my depressed state I grabbed the only bottle of alcohol I had in the house, a ten year old scotch given as a goodbye gift from my former employers and drank myself into a deep sleep.

Monday 13th April 2009

I awoke from my sleep at 4am, dazed, confused and clearly still drunk. I fumbled off the sofa immediately regretting my actions from the night before. This was bad, I have never taken a sick day in my life and there was no way I could afford to take one now, what sort of impression would that leave on my squad ?. I still had time to work this off before training.

I put my clothes for training in my rucksack, put on my running gear and decided to jog to work. Passing the custodians and waste removal men at 5am, I caught a few looks. Hopefully they assume I am just an active manager. It is 4 miles between the training ground and my apartment, plenty of time to sweat off the drink.

By the time I arrived at the ground it was a little after 6am. I got showered and washed up and immediately got some coffee. My Assistant, ‘Eddie’ arrived soon after. Looked at me once grinned and suggested taking the morning session whilst I overlook procedures.

Known by all as ‘Eddie’, the nickname comes from his addiction to English rock band Iron Maiden. Eddie has been with Kaunas for five years and is a loyal employee. More than happy as the number two, Eddie prefers being the good guy who is not afraid to get his hands dirty given the call of duty.

I said my piece before training…

‘Welcome back, Holiday time is over. We still have a lot to learn so I want focus and expect improvements. Drills in the morning from Eddie and I will join in after lunch for some 7 a sides, Lets Go’

I stood on the sidelines watching them run the bleep test, head spinning back and forth. It was going to be a long day…
 
Is eddie a nickname to make the long names rememberable?

Another fantastic read Kris, I am loving it :)

yes Eddie is another nickname, Seems like a nice touch and will be easy for everyone to remember who is who.
 
As you just said, I like the shorter names, remember people easier and how they fit in.

Great read, normally with these stories by now I can't be asked to read it all but it's the pretty much opposite with this.
 
deary, deary, me, kris.

drinking because of selma :S
 
I don't usually like reading long things but I just don't want this to end. EVER. :(
