This should be short,succinct and to the point.
Three league points dropped. We weren't that bad. I feel we could have defended much more energetically but ultimately our lack of a goalkeeper probably was the crucial difference.
Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh on myself and too charitable to some of the outfield play but probably not.
The first goal conceded hardly set us up for greater things. "Come on ball crawl and bobble this way, look there's the corner of the net, no not there, over there, get in there I won't touch you" and it did and I didn't (touch it that is). Well that would have required me bending down, leisurely and picking it up. Well the effort was beyond me. 1-0.
Other goals sailed in, probably Trevor would have been more active in preventing the third reaching their man on the line, who knows. But half time saw us 4-0 behind.
Attacking repeatedly in the first half of the second half saw us carve out several chances but only one was converted- by Gavin. A second half win 1-0 was spoiled by a handball and a penalty late on and that on a sunny morning was that sunny Jim!
A cosy pub, excellent rolls and Lakeland beer raised the spirits and we go onward and hopefully upwards against Vintage Dundee, a very good side, next Sunday.

I wouldn't say 'several chances' Ron! We created some and were just a bit unlucky. Small margins of error can be the difference between sinking faster than Newcastle or rising up like the 'Boro. Keep John right midfield...he whips in a lovely cross you know! I blame the pre-match confusion for the whole debacle. Now who wants to buy a commemorative Man Utd shirt? I've just faxed an order to a chinese sweatshop. Hands up if you want one. Not you Dave. Keep your hands down!!!
Conceded 4 goals when we took John out of central midfield!
It was an experiment Ron made that was working and would have worked.John is a slow burner but he gets hotter and hotter and would engulfed all by the end. Give Ron's hunches a chance next time.
Why cant we just say we were beaten by the better side on the day! It didnt help going to the wrong ground or getting changed 3 miles from the pitch but that didnt cost us the 3 points. On the day we had some key players missing for one reason or another, no offence to Ron but Trevor would have made a big difference. We had a good enough team to compete, and the bottom line is we didnt for long periods and thats dissapointing...
ARSE HOLES!!
Am away to chew the cud elsewhere.
There's always the next game to make amends. And the next..... till you stop breathing and then you might be lucky enough to be fossilised- if you're not already.
think we would have won easily if we left on time and started the game on time. dont people read emails.
if only we were all 15 years younger, that would have helped.
if only we were on strict fitness regimes, that would have helped.
if only we had scored 6 goals, that would have helped.
where is my diet sheet gone?
They deserved the win, no doubt about it. There is one main factor for this, player availability. The players that did play were not at fault as generally we played quite well. With a full compliment of players we would have out-battled in midfield, out-kept in goal and carved out better chances up top. We play best when we snarl and burst from the middle, zip up the wings, smother them at the back, and out-move them up front.
Ware were the better side but they are no Vintage Dundee…
Mr Web Man. can you set-up another vote on something important; What is your favorite cheese? Personally i like Roquefort, but i also enjoy a good mature chedder.
Cheese gives you a long tail. Look at rats. You shouldnt ought to eat it.
Do you know edam is made backwards? Those crazy dutch!
Meeses like beaucoup de fromage aussi. They too have long tails.
Does a goalie need a tail? Then why doesn't he mange the old fromage then he'd have a different tale to tell.
I like Paneer. Lovely with a dollop of Lime pickle.
A slice of Mahoe Aged Gouda for the maturer vet- puts lead in your tail.
I'm quicker than Gavin, can I play right wing?
When Gavin is quick he is quick. However first to be dubbed "quick" you have to move. So when Gavin is not moving he can by no stretch of the English language be referred to as "quick".
So 'thg knob' before you are selected for the delectable, cosy right wing berth, tell me is your fleetness of foot, speed off the mark (hopefully not Mills) and all round, devastating quickissitude of the moving Gavin or the static Gavin variety?
Hey...I'm quick in thought! To make the decision not to run is very hard work. No point wasting valuable energy you know. Hence my eagerness to play in goal.
I'm a stinking bishop fan you know...like the smell of a KNOBS changing room on a Sunday morning. Bliss.
UmmH!
What will I do? Stand up and fart, thus dissipating the noxious gases widely or remain sitting and fire away from here and linger in the stench?
This decision making is such jolly hard work! Up or down, up or down oh fuck I've shit myself.
I love cheese. Its at its best when it is young and still warm.
should have given me a shout Ron. My groin might be a problem playing outfield but i would have happily played between the sticks.
that was not supposed to be anonymous
I've shat myself too!
I've shat mself three!
I think Vintage Dundee shat themselves!
"We do not like being humiliated so we kick them in the air" WHAT A FUCKING TWAT.If theres one thing that gets up my nose is a Frenchmen who talks bollocks.
