[iainthepitman]

glyn, the last away match i attended before saturday was when we watched northwich together. wasnt that memorable :)

[Bob C]

15 mins still no score

[bryn y groes]

I still haven't dried out from Saturday against Prescot. Sleet, hail, torrential rain we had it all.:cool:

[Del]

Cheers Bob

If the team follow the same game plan as per Saturday it will be all quiet until about 9.00pm!

[Bob C]

Ashton 0 Matlock 1 13 mins

[Bob C]

True Del lolol. :D

[Del]

Forest Green 1-0 up v Burton....Cloughie cannot lose this one or their play-off chances are shot away

[bryn y groes]

Oh I do hope Burton mess it up!:)

[Glyn]

glyn, the last away match i attended before saturday was when we watched northwich together. wasnt that memorable :)

You're on a roll Iain, one consecutive away win....

Must be tempting to quit while you're ahead

Bob, you know there's far more to me than taking the pi$$ out of other people; take it out of myself as well (all too frequently these days....)

:doh::D

[bryn y groes]

I would never take the P$$$ out of Glyn.;)

[Del]

Hmmmm Glyn ...... incontinant & premature! :D

[Bob C]

30 mins still no score

[Glyn]

Hmmmm Glyn ...... incontinant & premature! :D

I told you the other day, stop circulating unfounded rumours about me!!

:D:p

And check your spolling* before you post, you know what happens when you don't!!



(*in-joke on the TNS forum, Bryn will understand....)

Thus far, at 0-0 I'm glad I didn't bust a gut and the speed limit to get there....

[Glyn]

Burton 2-0 down

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/forest_green_rovers/live_text/default.stm

and my 900th post imminent - d'you think I'll finally get a starting place in the first team when I get there??!!

[Del]

Excuse me but there is nothing wrong with my spilling

incontinant rhymes with pant ....and the 2 go together like...well :D



& by the way....how could you "bust a gut" with your bonnet??

You know it always springs up at 69 mph!

[Glyn]

Half-time entertainment for those who haven't already had this from me via email (with apologies to those who have...)

From the Birmingham Evening Mail....

Captain Sensible loses his way
By Chris Lepkowski on March 28, 2008 11:14 AM
If my pet cat should ever fall under the wheels of a bus then I hope it's Jonathan Greening who breaks the sad news to me.

You see the Albion captain is one man you can rely on to cheer you up. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.

For example who else could ask, during Albion's pre-season tour in 2005, whether the sun in Portugal was different to the one in England because it was hotter in the Algarve?

And then there was the time his car was being serviced and he arrived to training in his wife's bright PINK Mini - and expected to get away with it.

From a journalist's point of view Jono doesn't disappoint. He speaks honestly, from the heart and is always a willing interviewee. He never shirks his duties as a captain and ticks Tony Mowbray's requirement that all players should show humility and respect. It's no wonder he's so highly thought of by his peers, Albion's coaching staff and all who deal with him.

However, I'm sure the club's press office could only shudder when he was asked about then Middlesbrough boss Steve McClaren, before Albion played them a few years ago, and completely dismissed the future England manager's credentials of taking charge of the national side, before adding: 'Just look at the players he's let go...' (Mind you, you can't argue with his observations on McClaren)

But surely nothing tops his latest gaffe, earlier this week.

Jono had arranged to pick up Kevin Phillips for training and, somewhat sensibly, typed the address of the collection point into his satnav.

After setting off at 8am, all was well.

And then things started to go wrong. Very wrong.

At some point - possibly as he was passing the JCB factory or seeing signs for Alton Towers - it dawned on Jono that instead of typing in 'Uttoxeter Road', he'd put in 'Uttoxeter'.

He ended up a mile outside the Staffordshire town.

We can only imagine what his team-mates (and more to the point, Tony Mowbray) must have thought when Jono and Kev finally rolled into the Walsall-based training ground at 10am, more than an hour late.

Half Time Hednesford 0 Whitby 0

[Glyn]

and my 900th post imminent - d'you think I'll finally get a starting place in the first team when I get there??!!

Clearly not - looks like I've got to post another 100....

:doh:

[Del]

Half Time Hednesford 0 Whitby 0


Cheers Bob

Still going according to plan A

Let's hope we don't need plan B at the last minute!! :D

[Bob C]

It does not seem that they are busting a gut to get a result.. are we stronger second half

[Del]

With nothing left to play for this season Bob, I suppose "busting a gut" is not really something many of them feel like doing now.

[Bob C]

such a thing as playing for places next season

[Bob C]

65 mins still no score

[Bob C]

Hey Del now is the time its 9-00 pm under our rules they should start scoring now

[Del]

get your wand out Bob!! :D

[Glyn]

such a thing as playing for places next season

That was my initial reaction too Bob - trouble is at this level, and with few if any contracts being handed out, we're likely to see wholesale changes again in the close-season (even if we still have the same manager), so one does wonder....

you and I can recall (and I probably made this point on this or the previous forum a while back) that in the 60s we would play the same teams season after season and they would bring pretty well the same line-up - I reckon that even without cheating I could probably name 5 or 6 of the Tammuff line-up from then*.... whereas now one would struggle to name the Hednesford team from one month to the next....

:doh:

(* just why was "Donkey Bayliss" so-called??!! :D)

[Bob C]

my wand has got a bit bent Del, like fluttering in the wind :D

[Del]

....and I suppose playing for pride is out of the question?


Well used I suppose then Bob! :D

[Bob C]

Pride in one's own abilty... its a bit dour tonight

[Del]

Pride in one's own abilty... its a bit dour tonight

Are you referring to the players or your good self + wand? :D :D

[Bob C]

yer takes yer pick :D

[Glyn]

I nipped outside at half-time - it's cold and dark out there - I thought it was supposed to be British Summer-Time?!

Doubly glad at present that I didn't bother tonight - I wonder how many hardy Whitby fans have made the journey, eta home 1.30am if they're lucky?

:doh:

[Bob C]

All the more reason why we should perform better

[Glyn]

Burton still 2-0 down on 70 mins - serves them right for taking Sam Hall back then not playing him....

:mad:

[Del]

See Kendall aren't playing this evening! :D

[bryn y groes]

Just been to Tesco's. It is warm enough for no coat in Ponte tonight.

A dull 0-0 would still be good from my biased Frickley viewpoint.:)

[Del]

God...the highlife of a Monday night... :eek:

There's Bob waving around a floppy wand....

Glyn just popping outside to see how dark it is......

& Bryn nipping off to do a weekly shop at Tesco's (without a coat no less)!!

:D :D

[Bob C]

about 8 mins to go. plus non playing time which would add up to 90 mins :D

[Bob C]

just show's Del how uninteresting its been

[Glyn]

God...the highlife of a Monday night... :eek:

:D :D

lol, we can't all live the high life of the English Riviera

Spare a thought for the 300-or-so souls who are out in the cold at Keys Park....

:(

I'm playing with my memory sticks, haven't had so much fun in years....

[bryn y groes]

The need to know if the ref is 'poor' or the hightlight of a sub to drag me away from Crimewatch.:cool:

[Del]

Been lively enough on here though!!

Burton now 3-1 down btw

[Del]

lol, we can't all live the high life of the English Riviera

:(


I've just cracked a tinny in their memory!! :D

[bryn y groes]

If you have been to the New Lawn or the earlier one for that matter - it looks like it is downhill, literally, all the way for Burton.:clap2:

[Glyn]

latest FGR 3 Burton 1

Brewers' goal scored by Afful, I suspect that's how they've played....?

[Unibond Fan]

Ashton 2 Matlock 1 (Late surge by Ashton scoring 2 in the last 10 mins..)

[Del]

"I'm playing with my memory sticks, haven't had so much fun in years...."


Just as long you remember which way they go back in!! :D

[Glyn]

All I ask of tonight's ref is that he blows the whistle so I can go to bed.....

:doh:

Got to be up early in the morning, expect some major breaking news....

[Del]

Come on Bob....hurry up and put us out of our misery!

[bryn y groes]

What breaking news?

Mugabe accepts defeat gracefully or McKenna for anywhere!!:mad:

[Glyn]

Y'know, that British chap we all laud for inventing the internet....

without him I imagine we'd all have found far better things to do tonight (and I don't mean watching Corrie! :doh:)

[Del]

He won't remember because he's lost his memory sticks!! :D

[iainthepitman]

could be worse lads. we could be at marston poohole!!!!

[Bob C]

You will not beleive this Hednesford Town 0 Whitby 0. my thanks to Keith H for sending the updates thanks everybody for turning up and suffering with me. :mad::mad::mad:

[Glyn]

He won't remember because he's lost his memory sticks!! :D

In anticipation, thanks Bob and Keith for updates

[Bob C]
