Squad Quotations | Page 5

I'm very keen to have a run. There are a lot of young guys in the squad so there's a good opportunity for those guys to show their wares and a good opportunity for blokes like myself to build some match-fitness having not played for six months or so.

I'm under no pressure to sell so I don't expect to lose anyone and I don't expect anyone to want to leave. We have a relatively small but close-knit squad and it's very rare that a promoted team loses players.

If she's caught in a circular firing squad with her own army, you let that play out a little bit.

I had a full-strength squad until three of my first team picked up knocks at training on Thursday.

In our top squad we've got eight injured and a lot of them are outside backs.

I'll join your squad if you dont mind having a 37 year old who collects Barbies!

I honestly believe that we can build a squad in the summer that can push up into the top six and challenge for promotion. We've got funds available for next season.

I have to say I am a bit surprised at how quickly Gary has returned but that is all credit to him. He has shown a determination from day one to get himself back, that was evident when I went to see him in hospital the night he suffered his injury. I've already said that everyone in the squad will likely participate at some stage over the next three or four weeks, I'm pretty sure of that, so to have another body available certainly does help us.

I really liked your article on practice-squad guys. I never understood the practice squad really and recommended to all my football geek friends to read.

International tours are all about dealing with these sorts of situations and we as a squad should be able to deal with it.

In terms of the football and the mentality of the squad I think we have much more confidence in ourselves. The biggest difference for us this season is we know how to handle the physical games.

In addition we retain an enviable net debt position despite investing heavily in the squad over the past couple of years. All these factors underline the robustness of the business we now have but also highlight its potential to grow if we can get all elements of the club right both on and off the pitch.

If there is a member of a squad who has been practicing a particularly interesting move or breathtaking stunt, we'll reward that.

Being left out of the match squad for the Ireland international was not a factor in my thinking. Retiring from Test rugby has been on my mind for a while because I was away from the family for so long during the World Cup.

But I hope that's about to change with Duane's help. His arrival is the lift we require and I'm sure we shall witness other players in the squad raise their games.

But I'd be surprised if it was that easy against the Solomons and the boss (coach Guus Hiddink) is not here yet. He may want to have the full squad together for a longer period.

I did rhythmic gymnastics and I absolutely adored it. I was in the squad for Sussex. I wasn't stupendous, but it was something that I was good at and I really loved the combination of discipline and expression. That, to me, was just dreamy.

Hopefully, Paul Beavers, Alex Lawson and Chris Fawcett will be able to turn out. At this stage of the season, I need a full squad at my disposal.

He's an example to all the squad on and off the field and, like me, he's really looking forward to Saturday.

He's an experienced professional who's coming to help us out, and he's not signing for us for financial reasons. I think his addition to the squad will benefit everybody.

Gavin creates a nice link between last year's squad and what we are doing this year. His ambition, energy and passion for the game will be a valuable asset to the Timbers and to the soccer community.

It is cold at six-forty in the morning on a March day in Paris, and seems even colder when a man is about to be executed by firing squad.

I am still young and being the [England] squad is really good for me although I've still got a lot to learn.

No matter how big the glam squad, or how dramatic the dress, sometimes things just don’t work out.

The talk of pale, burning-eyed students, anarchists and utopians all, over tea and cigarettes in a locked room long past midnight, is next morning translated, with the literalness of utter innocence, into the throwing of the bomb, the shouting of the proud slogan, the dragging away of the young dreamer-doer, still smiling, to the dungeon and the firing squad.

I felt more doubtful than usual with 'Goon Squad,' because I knew that the book's genre wasn't easily named - Novel? Stories? Novel-in-stories? - and I worried that its lack of a clear category would count against it. My hopes for it were pretty modest.

I listened to classic rock and roll, and punk rock. 'Goon Squad' provides a pretty accurate playlist of my teenage years, though it leaves out 'The Who,' which was my absolute favorite band.

Goon Squad' took about three years to write and that's the short end. My second novel, 'Look at Me,' took six years.

The young players in the Welsh squad aren't young any more

If he believes he can find someone who would strengthen the squad the board would support him in spending money.

If everyone stays fit and we keep the same squad we've had in recent years then we've got a really great chance.

I don't think there's any football player who's done more to rejuvenate a squad than Michael Robinson has done. Michael Robinson is one of the greatest football players I've ever coached and I've coached a couple of pretty good ones.

I don't think this result will influence what happens on Wednesday, but I am not going to deny that the squad will have lost a little self-belief.

I don't think the squad we have at the moment is conducive to the number of games we'll play next season.

He can consider himself unlucky. We were looking for someone with a little more penetration. McGrath is almost impossible to replace so we had to look for a squad of fast bowlers to replace him.

My squad is my family, my gun is my provider, and protector, and my rule is to kill or be killed.

Paul Scholes should be included in England's Euro 2012 squad.

Anyway, members of the Inquisitorial Squad do have the power to dock points so, Granger, I'll have five from you for being rude about our new Headmistress. Macmillan, five for contradicting me. Five because I don't like you, Potter. Weasley, your shirt's untucked, so I'll have another five for that. Oh yeah, I forgot, you're a Mudblood, Granger, so ten off for that.

You have [Donald] Trump and [Ted] Cruz battling it out, and the moderate establishment candidates like Chris Christie or Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich - they have formed a circular firing squad.

Brian seemed to be in a state of confusion. I thought of packing my bags and going home. The squad seemed to me to be rudderless.

If only more of today's military personnel would realize that they are being used by the owning elite's as a publicly subsidized capitalist goon squad

I don't kill soloists only kill squads

The Injury Fund exposed some of our weaknesses. The mental part of the game is a weakness and we need to think and act as a team. We are going to have to learn as we go but this is the squad that is capable of doing that.

The injuries are not helping us but it's no use complaining because it's a squad game and it's up to the players coming in to stake a claim for a place.

These girls will eventually advance to the senior squad and those are the shoes they will have to fill. We don't hold anything back.

This hits the State Patrol very hard. These men and woman get in those squad cars everyday, every night, with one purpose in mind: to save lives.

All in all, I like the energy that we gave in the second half. Our squad is depleted with injuries but we had to soldier on and asked players who are on the fringe to step up and play and they didn't do too bad.

Allegedly, after the rescue squad found the little girl, one of the squad members fired a shot from a small caliber handgun. We don't know whether the bear was hit or not. There was no blood, but it chased it off.

The difference was the size of the squad; we had a squad of around 18 players and if any were missing you had to switch players from different positions. That doesn't happen here now. The team I played in and this team were similar in some ways but we didn't sustain it.

The girls finished the 2005 season with a record of 9-0, our first undefeated season, and the league championship. This year's girls group is our largest and most talented team. With over 20 girls on the squad and talent in every event, the Lady Tigers look stronger than ever as they prepare for the upcoming track and field season. Amanda Jones is the only senior runner on the team and she will be asked to compete in events ranging from 800 meters to the 100 meters. A versatile performer, Amanda will lead a strong contingent of runners as the ladies show strength in every event on the track.

The Geek Squad from Best Buy is one example of how to make it simple to install, operate, and maintain complicated technologies for the home. If you want it, but do not want to deal with the complications, you can hire some kid to come to your house and do it for you for $150.

The first two years here, we weren't the best squad around. There's not a whole lot that I can say. I feel bad for Jeff. I've been on the other side of it.

The first time I met Leo Messi, I didn't know who he was, only that I couldn't believe the boots he was wearing. But he is like a brother to me. It was at the start of 2005, when I was with the Argentine under-17 squad and I saw him chatting with Ezequiel Garay and some other players about the boots he'd brought back from the U.S.A.

The first rescue squad units were actually paid individuals from physical facilities,

The first international squad session is due to take place on October 3 and it would be expected that the new coach determines who takes part. That means giving players notice and from that point of view it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect an announcement next week.

The field's a lot faster than ours. That ball got to him a lot quicker than he expected. We'll try to get him some more time at second base, especially with the split squad coming up here.

When I was 17, I was a Lakers Girl; I was the youngest girl on the squad.

I would like to wish the England squad every success. I would also very much like to extend those wishes to Martin Johnson, Brian Smith, Mike Ford, John Wells, Graham Rowntree and the rest of the England 2011 World Cup management team who have been fantastic and deserve people to know that.

There was no glam squad, whatsoever. There were no dressing rooms. There were no bathrooms. Let's start at our base level. We didn't have toilet paper. We went to the woods to use the bathroom.

The difference between last year and this year was the experience. Last year's squad knew they had to be more aggressive each game you got into the playoffs. This year's team learned a tough lesson.

The league is very balanced. Our squad is hungry to get over the hump and make some noise. That will depend on the pitching coming around like we hope. They have worked very hard.

The officers of the branch of the Force (the Obscene Publications Squad) have a discouraging club tie, on which a book is depicted being cut in half by a larger pair of scissors.

There is such a belief in the squad that we could really do something.

When you look at the caliber of players in the England squad and their ability, why should we go into the tournament fearing anyone?

Mankind is an unco squad And muckle he may grieve thee.

Actually, Katniss isn’t complaining because she has no intention of staying with the “Star Squad,” but she recognizes the necessity of getting to the Capitol before carrying out any plan.

The more I hung out with detective squads, the more there was always one guy or two guys or a woman who had a case that they were the primary on years ago, it was never solved, and they take that case into their retirements.

A player who conjugates a verb in the first person singular cannot be part of the squad, he has to conjugate the verb in the first person plural. We. We want to conquer. We are going to conquer. Using the word I when you're in a group makes things complicated.

Frank didn’t drop you on purpose,” she said. “He’s not like that. He’s just a little clumsy sometimes.” “Oops,” Leo said, in his best Frank Zhang voice. “Dropped Leo into a squad of enemy soldiers. Dang it!

Even now, when I do a slide show of the Geek Squad story, the first slide is a photo of ramen noodles. Because for me, ramen noodles are the international symbol for struggle.

It was only when the giant got halfway down the incline that he suddenly, happily, burst into flame and continued his trip saying, "NO SURVIVORS, NO SURVIVORS!" in a manner that could only indicate deadly sincerity. It was seeing him happily burning and advancing that startled the Brute Squad to screaming. And once that happened, why, everybody panicked and ran...

The only way we'd get beaten was if we got a little fat-headed, if we didn't train right, if we had dissension on the squad.

There is nothing dictators hate so much as that unassailable, eternally elusive, eternally provoking gleam. One of the main reasons why the very gallant Russian poet Gumilev was put to death by Lenin's ruffians thirty odd years ago was that during the whole ordeal, in the prosecutor's dim office, in the torture house, in the winding corridors that led to the truck, in the truck that took him to the place of execution, and at that place itself, full of the shuffling feet of the clumsy and gloomy shooting squad, the poet kept smiling.

To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.

They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row.

Men have died in torture chambers, on the stake, in concentration camps, in front of firing squads, rather than renounce their convictions. The appeaser renounces his under the pressure of a frown on a vacant face.

I want a military funeral when I die—the bugler, the flag on the casket, the ceremonial firing squad, the hallowed ground.... It will be a way of achieving what I've always wanted more than anything—something I could have had, if only I'd managed to get myself killed in the war.... The unqualified approval of my community.

The outstanding coach is a teacher that gets all his squad to accept the role that he considers to be the most important for the welfare of all.

As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with a talent for squad-drill.

If we move in mass, be it ever so circuitously, we shall attain our object; but if we break into squads, everyone pursuing the path he thinks most direct, we become an easy conquest to those who can now barely hold us in check.
