Whitey Grandad

We play Plymouth Friday evening and Norwich on Monday so there are two empty days between.

No longer applies to us.

I’ll take that as a yes.

There’s the odd phone call or two, isn’t there?

Yes it is. I went across to Woolacombe to scatter some of my wife’s ashes on the beach. It’s a fabulous place, well worth a visit. I should wait for a tide or two though first 🫣

It was closed.

I drove through there last week 😉

In cases like this it’s normally awarded as a 3-0 win to the aggrieved side.

The previous pitch had more mud than Glastonbury.

I have been known to buy just the one for 1/4p

Just keep him away from any high windows.

Black Jacks if I remember correctly.

I was open minded an scrupulously correct. Firm but fair, that’s me 🥸

But we might get a better system. Well, a man can hope.

Good point.

Someone you want to bed? When I was at university it was someone who made your bed.

“my family” means “me”

Some of the other ex-professionals were brilliant. I didn’t know at the start but when I saw one of the centre halves drill a sixty yard pass out to the left winger I knew something strange was going on. That ball went straight as an arrow never more than a couple of feet above the ground. I game him a quizzical look and he just grinned. I think he used to be a centre half for Plymouth.

I think Stephens would be a better choice.

Lucky guess 😋

I think Aa will stay as onfield captain. The reason that Stephens took over on Saturday was that Adam was substituted.

Indeed there is. It’s part of the same reason that we got relegated.

One of the last games that I refereed was a cup game at Hamble. The home team contained a lot of former professionals most of whom were no bother at all at carried on playing because they loved the game. One midfielder however was an annoying little something whom they asked me to sign on before kickoff. I recognised his name* as soon as I saw it. He had played for Villa and Portsmouth and had loan spells at Bournemouth and Swansea so I looked forward to see him running midfield. The reality was totally different. He was constantly trying little niggly things hoping I didn’t spot them, and spent the whole game carping and moaning. Near the end of the game his side were 6-0 up and I had to award them an obvious penalty. Up steps the man himself to take it and tries a Panenka. The goalkeeper just stood in the middle of his goal and waited for the ball to drop into his arms. It would have taken a heart of stone not to laugh 😂 *name supplied on request by P.M.

I still have my concerns over Bednarek and have mentioned this before. That said, I still have my concerns over Stephens 😵‍💫

It’s about more than just getting some money from his sale. It would free up his wages which must be considerable for this league.
