17 September 2009

If your weak mind was unable to resist the peer pressure selling you the laughable delusion that both the town of Scunthorpe and its football club are immeasurably inferior to the town of Grimsby and its football club, you'll be experiencing your biggest thrill in years as your slack jaw gapes wider still at the news that Town's reserves last night overcame Scunthorpe's by three goals to two. A quite good match report on Town's superb new official website, which isn't marred too much by saying "Town's response was instantaneous" when it could have just said "instant", gives the plaudits to Straight Peter Bore, for two goals in his first-half run-out, and trialist right-back Chris Ramsey for nabbing a late winner with a long-range shot off his left foot. Managers of the Google Street View website, meanwhile, have explained that the reason the site includes Scunthorpe and not Grimsby is that the people of Scunthorpe didn't chase the cameraman out of town with blazing pitchforks.

In the spare time when it isn't victimising and scapegoating groups of people who are already the most vulnerable and wronged in our society, and basically pushing the hate-filled manifesto of the British National Party to millions of people every day, the Daily HURRAH FOR THE BLACKSHIRTS Mail occasionally carries on a sideline business as a newspaper. It is in this capacity that yesterday's edition carried an interview with Shane Supple, the erstwhile Ipswich goalkeeper and transfer target of Mike Newell who recently quit football at the age of 22. The gloriously named Supple, you might recall, was lined up for a loan by Newell last season before the arrival of Wayne Henderson but, as he told the Daily LET'S RIP THE SHIT OUT OF GRIEVING PARENTS Mail, was already becoming disillusioned with the culture inside the English game and the couldn't-care-less attitude of his teammates: "Some of the lads didn't really care whether we won or lost," he explains. In many ways it's a shame Supple didn't come to Blundell Park in his search for a different mentality; after all, Tom Newey had left the club by that point.

Well, that's all from your regular Diary again for the time being; Guest Diary returns tomorrow for his traditional Friday slot and next week I have to leave the house again. All being well, I should be back with you a week on Monday. Cheerio!
