    Play offs

    I was going to post something a while ago about how I wouldn't want us to get into the play offs unless we had a decent chance of winning them and getting promoted: Meaning I wouldn't want us to finish in the top 6 just for the sake of finishing in the top 6, only to get soundly beaten in the...

    Recent form

    In the last 4 league games we've won 2, drawn 1, lost 1. Not too bad. But we've also won a couple of cup games, one of which was against what I assume was a decent Sunderland side. Is this a just a lucky run of form, or are we genuinely turning a corner? Those who go to games, are we playing...

    Away game atmosphere

    I went to the game on Saturday. In the past I've always preferred the atmosphere of away games: people have made more of an effort to be there so they're usually more enthusiastic about supporting their team and making some noise, instead of sitting there grumbling like many of our fans that...

    Iconic Gills shirts of the last 20 years or so

    The thread about the new kit got me thinking about the best or most memorable Gills shirts of recent years. Which ones do you think we will look back at in say 20 years time and remembered as classics? This is entirely personal, it could be based on what they looked like or what we achieved...

    Middle Earth (n/g)

    Are hobbits, elves, orcs and wizards actually real? This guy seems to think so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._R._Tolkien

    Croatia or Russia?

    If, and it's a big IF, we can somehow beat Sweden on Saturday, who would we prefer to play in the semi final? I know Croatia are the better team but I'd prefer to have England play against them than Russia: Home advantage seems to have given the ruskies a real edge in this World Cup and the...

    Predictions

    With the World Cup just around the corner, why don't we play a game of predicting the various controversial issues and talking points that always seem to raise their head before a big international tournament. Here are a few to start... 1. Criticism of the new ball. 2. The England flag debate...

    Real Madrid v Juventus penalty "controversy"

    Did anyone see this? Was Michael Oliver wrong to give the penalty and red card? Or is Buffon just being a sore loser with his reaction?

    Wilkinson's goal

    Good goals for Gills on Saturday. Our equaliser reminded me of Gazza's famous goal against Scotland in Euro 96: lifting the ball over the defender before shooting. I think Cody scored a similar goal against Burton a few years ago as well, am I remember that correctly? Was Gazza the first...

    The Lovell effect

    Haven't been to see any games since Southend at home earlier in the season, so I was wondering if any regular fans could try and explain: What has Lovell specifically done that Pennock and Taylor didn't do to get these hugely improved performances and results out of these players? It's the same...

    Crosses and headers

    A thought occurred to me a little while ago, I thought I'd throw it our there for discussion. Does anyone else think that the headed goal is in decline? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a lot more whipped balls crossed into the box per game and a lot more goals scored from headers as a...

    Evans

    The man said a few not so nice things about us in a couple of post match interviews a few years ago, after we'd beaten his teams in some highly contested games. If he comes in and gets us winning games, I'm willing to let that go to be honest! Yes he has a robust managerial style, but surely we...

    England ladies - game management

    Booked their place in the semi finals last night by beating France 1-0. A close game, but I think England just about shaded it. Stoppage time was hard to watch, but for the first time in a while I was fairly confident that this England team would hold on! I've been really impressed with what...

    England ladies

    Great start by England in the Euros last night against against Scotland, although I suspect the opposition wasn't the strongest, still it's always good to start with a big win! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40651426

    Moneyball

    Anyone seen the film Moneyball? I saw it on TV a few weeks ago and thought it was really good and interesting. Any supporter of a sports club that has a limited budget and that has to compete with bigger teams will certainly appreciate the overall theme. Obviously it's about baseball which has...

    Spurs v Gills: When will we know?

    When will we know what day it's on, whether it'll be on TV etc? When's the official announcement?

    Goal line technology

    First things first: Hello everyone! I was following the game on Twitter last night, and according to the Gills feed Dack's goal was decided by goal line technology. If that is true, I believe that is a first for this club, can anyone confirm or deny?
