    Unabomber (Non-Gills) FAO Buddha

    Bud, Watched the dramatisation on netflix about the US Unabomber - Ted Kaczynski. An excellent series, but it made me think of you, not that I am suggesting you remind me of a mental mass murderer/terroist.... but his views, and the paper he was famous for writing was very much a nature centred...

    Long Throws

    Have not seen too many games of late. However I saw a highlight of our game at the weekend, and the 4th goal tonight...both created from long throws. Our long throws get a bit of stick sometimes, but they seem to be fairly effective at the moment. EDIT: and a disallowed goal there from a long...

    Refund from GFC

    Just had a call from GFC offering me a refund for a mascot package i had booked for my son just before covid for one of the cancelled games. They offered me the choice of a refund or to keep it in the club (i.e. add him to a list and he will do it when we are allowed back). I kept it in the...

    Average Age

I did my own analysis as i'm bored between contracts ATM: The squad this year, as of today has an average age of 23.91 The squad last year, as of today had an average of...

    Wx style question...goalkeepers jerserys...

    so my son was played in goal on sunday this week at his u13s football, and did alright. I have a suspicion they are going to play him there more often as their current gk has been struggling quite alot recently. This was his first time, but the one thing he did say was that when catching the...

    Well that was shite!

    What an uninspiring performance. Barely a shot on target. Barely any decent passing. Some really poor crossing and set pieces, and not much more from open play either. Dodgy at the back too. Could have conceeded at least one more. Hopefully its just hull being good thats made us look bad, and...

    CB pairing

    So it seems our CB options this season will be Tucker, Ogilvie and Medley. With the possibility of another back up coming in too. If we play 2 at the back, who will be our first choice two, when all are fit? Medley is an unknown and I have to wonder as good as he is, would you really want a...

    Sounds of the Medway

    I know some of you like your music....not sure if this is any of you guys thing, but have a listen to this band. At least the drummer is from medway, i went to school with and was good friends with him back in the day and this is a decent song. Bit of ska/rock/punk. Enjoy!

    Holidays

    WX/money advice needed - got nothing else to do: So with all the isolation and our Easter week away being cancelled this week, my wife is desperate to book a summer holiday in the hope it's all 'back to normal' (relatively) by then ..... obviously I don't want to book something and risk losing...

    So will we be on TV?

    Last year the draw was on the Monday the 3rd, and the FA cup games to be shown on TV had been announced on the Thursday 6th. So I expect to see similar news around the same time at the end of this week. Last year 6 ties were chosen for TV (1x Friday night, 2x Saturday, 2x Sunday and 1x Monday)...

    Tucker...

    I get the feeling this might be an unpopular opinion, but I’ll say it anyway. I’ll pre-empt some comments by stating that by no means am I trying to put a downer on a good young player with potential. I just don’t think people should be getting ‘carried away’ so early in his career. So here it...

It was a decent performance and a decent interesting game to watch. Me and my 5...

    Our scoreboard...

    Eerily predicted our goal tonight. Put us at 1-0 up about 20 seconds before we scored our goal! Does the operator know next weeks lottery numbers also? It also seemed to really struggle with the concept of extra time. You'd have thought theyd have a protocol/plan for it, but they couldnt work...

    Saracens - Wage Caps - Buying Success

    Anyone seen the news in Rugby today? Saracens fined £5.3m (bear in mind their wage bill is only £7m), and docked 35 points. Likely to be one of the biggest stories in English Rugby in years, certainly since Bloodgate 10 years ago. To put the points reduction into perspective, it’s in a league...

    One in the wood (ng)

    Used this phrase in the pub today. Well i actually said, "keep it in the wood till my mate gets back".... Both my wife, and about 3 bar staff didnt have a clue what i was on about. I thought this was a popular well known standard phrase? In fact i was a bit bewildered that no one else seemed...
