First half barely managed to string two passes together, and none on the floor. Made you wonder why we support this lot. Substitutions made the difference. Parrett was much more direct and determined. Campbell was far better than the ineffective Eaves. Surprised to see Charles-Cook and not List...

The England Football team visited an orphanage in Russia yeaterday. "It's heartbreaking to see their little faces with no hope" said Vladimir, aged 6.

Sticking with the Gills before the world cup takes over, I'm looking to putting my annual £20 bet (charity donation) on us getting promoted. Only found one site offering odds so far and we are rock bottom outsiders at 20:1 after Accrington at 16 and Walsall and Wycombe at 14. (The fools! I'm...

...Crackling in the fish shops in Gillingham? (That's what we called it in the sixties anyway) Can't find a chippie who will give me any here. (Alright it should be a n/g!) :56:

Can't call a game off because of a forecast. However, the forecast for today has been (since Wednesday) : "Feels like minus 9, with 27 mph easterly wind and snow" Great if you're sitting in the Gillingham end! :10:

Thought both England and USA were brilliant last night. First twenty minutes we were in danger of being overpowered. But they hung in there and only a poxy OG screwed it for us. Otherwise took the game back to them. Fran Kirby and a few others were excellent. Hope the men play half as well in...

Bloody Russians again.....

What use is Theresa May to the world? Feather duster for awkward corners?

Played for Medway Olympic for a dozen years. One game was against Commissioners at Strood and they had an ox-like centre forward called Vernon Henty who I was marking. He played the first 15 minutes of the second half smoking a roll up and I still couldn't get the ball off him. Anyone else come...

The old Colin Boswell Sunday League! Remember playing against the likes of: Hoo Institute Red Dog Fulston Manor Stanoba (Can't remember many now) Great times. Who did you play for Nobby?

Thank goodness for a bit of perspective from Jokerman. (Is it the distance that helps?) Strangely I feel a bit better now :8:

We all knew that we didn't have enough info to vote in a genuinely informed way, but I didn't think it was this bad. Hats off to you AK but few people really considered not voting. Unfortunately, the point most people missed was that the EU 'leadership' was going to make sure we were shit on...

And your point is? Always remember, all the best brains in the government, the opposition and the civil service have no idea how to deliver this. The question posed by the referendum was above my pay grade, your pay grade and everyone else's pay grade (whether they voted remain or leave), so...

No the bubble hasn't burst. But there is a warning here. We can always lose to the bottom side, but even if they're having a good day, we shouldn't be on the end of 25 attempts at goal! To keep with the same starting eleven is great, but it's now time to bring in some fresher legs. Should have...

Not the point of my original post but maybe more important anyway. The recent 5 a game idea (well done for trying) isn't going to help the following week as demonstrated. And it does annoy season ticket holders. Long term we need to think of something better. The Bradford City idea is great...

Seems to me there's two reasons why our home performances are nothing like our away (since SL). One is that, apart from Bristol Rovers, most teams don't come at us. And we are clearly a great press and counter attack team. The other is the pitch. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get to...

Played 30, W10, D10, L10, GD 0 Will bugger it up today!

Bit shocked when we found out our first (loan) signing of the window was from Bury! But look at him! Now Moussa and Nasseri don't sound like world-beaters but who would doubt SL's judgement? Question is, would you rather we spent big like one or two clubs in the division or looked for some...

Keep quiet and put your money on! I bet 30 before the season started at 18:1. Yes, how do you think I've been feeling when we only had seven points... Bite their hands off before they twig!

Great post, Alex, and a pleasure to read - how did you get the accents on Tomas! (Chris Who can't even manage a full stop! Sorry Chris....) Thank goodness you had a great win to celebrate before a return journey like that. At half time I wasn't sure where we were heading, but the pressing we...
