Vital Champions League
That`s the ups and downs for you, Sturdy.Christ this is a real roller coaster on this forum, win a game and it’s orgasm time, lose a game and it’s run a hot bath and sharpen the razor blades.
Post game on Tuesday there was a concerted effort by us fans to applaud our guys, both those on the bench, who walked over to us, and those who were leaving the field. I heard no boos, nothing but supportive applause and tone. We knew that we`d just watched another poor performance and witnessed, yet again, a game lost largely due to our "non-presence" up front.
Under the circumstances, it`s understandable that some negative post-game comments will appear on this forum -it`s an appropriate medium and a whole lot better than at the game.
I`ll never boo the Gills and always shout support, even for players i don`t particularly rate or like. If they`re wearing the badge they they get my support 100% whilst on the field and pre and post game at the venue. And, to be fair, those (including me) who have decried our lack of ability up front, have been long-term consistent in that narrative on this forum.
I`m looking forward to our next game and monitoring Sky announcements on EFL games in April as, hopefully, i`ll be at Priestfield for the Barrow game. The longer they take to announce the game the higher the cost of my rail ticket. I`m also hoping that I can arrange tickets for the big Mansfield away game - hoping because, ironically, if GFC is doing well and the game is vital, I probably wont qualify for a ticket as i`m a non s/ticket holder. If we`re not in with a shout then, again ironically, I should be OK.
You`re right about the "roller coaster" nature of our commentary on here but, when it comes down to it, those with post-game "negative" forum comments are probably just as loyal as anyone else.
I`ve cheered up today because there`s been an announcement that Grand Union Trains will commence daily services From Scotland to London Euston and their trains will stop at Preston - Starts 2025, but might be a plus in the constant battle of "Beat the Trains" haha . UTG
