21 October 2004

Just when you were thinking, eh up, this must be the most consecutive appearances John McDermott has made for a long time, the rejuvenated Mr Macca has pulled up with a hamstring strain. So it's all your fault! The injury could mean Town travel to Chester this Saturday having to replace both wing-backs after Jason Crowe limped out of the side's limp draw at Shrewsbury on Tuesday night. Ronnie Bull could come in for Crowe on the left, but does anyone really fancy seeing Ashley Sestanovich trying to do the same job in McDermott's berth on the right? Thought not. Macca remains the likelier of the two walking winded, however, to make the trip to the Deva, reports the Mariners' official website.

GTFC was rewarded for doing its bit for the community yesterday by being besieged by a mob of bloodthirsty anarchists hell-bent on defying the law. Schools minister Stephen Twigg visited Blundell Park to open the club's study support centre - part of the national 'Playing for Success' initiative, which has achieved some notable successes in boosting the attainment of schoolchildren in some of the country's less privileged regions - which prompted a group of pro-foxhunting thugs to assemble in the car park, because, er, Twigg is an MP, and lots of MPs recently did what they were actually elected for and represented the wishes of their constituents by voting to ban foxhunting, but hey, people who foxhunt own land, so why should they have to accept the decisions of a democratic society. The militants made it difficult for Town fans to get to the ticket office for a bit, and then presumably buggered off, having helped their cause not at all.

And that's it from your regular Diary for another week; thanks for reading, and stay tuned for tomorrow's round-up, if the CA lot can find somebody to write it. Toodle-oo.
