Diary - Friday 15 October 2004

15 October 2004

Your Special Guest Diary here in his usual Friday slot, forgetting about the Diary until the last minute again. But it's not such a rush this week, so I'll take my time.

Anyone with a fetish for GTFC news will have been txtd earlier today to be told of Graham 'The Next Jevons/Cooke' Hockless being sent on his hols to Leigh RMI. Our Gray is to be loaned out in order to help him improve mentally and physically. And perhaps sexually, if he gets lucky with the local ladies, like. This, according to the OS, is all dependent on Terry Fleming recovering from Knee Jar that he picked up on Thursday. Although, wait a minute... the Grim Tel reckons that it isn't at all dependent on the fitness of Flemo. See, now I'm all confused.

In further hospital watch news, Forbes, Reddy and Sestaaaaaaaarnovich have all recovered from a bout of cooties which they all picked up on a day trip to Leigh. Maybe. Which all means that they will indeed be part of the squad for this weekend's game. However, one man who may miss out on the match is Cousin-of-the-Invisible-Man Stuart Campbell, who limped out of the Pirates' (ahoy matey!) match against Oxford t'other week. How did they notice he'd left?

This week Macca has drawn the short straw and had to pootle over to Telewag Towers and say: "It's crucial we take our chances". Thanks Macca, but I'm sure you've already had a few turns. Time to give the youngsters a chance eh? What about that Nick Heggarty. Yes, I know he isn't in the first team, but isn't it about time he was given his chance to prove that he can chuck seasoned old cliches at the GET just like any old pro? And I didn't mean the Riby Square type of pro... is that you sniggering at the back Hockless? Right, get out.

Big Russ continues to be interrogated by the OS Militia - I hear they have very big lamps. Our Si even pops up to do a blatant piece of plugging for CA. Nice work Si. Russ also thinks it might be better for us all to get together in one room and share our feelings together with a bit more passion and excitement. Phwooar eh? A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh Russ?

And that, apart from Jamie Forrester catching cooties, is that. Hopefully Slade's pass and attack football will win the day over Ian 'No Carbs' Atkins kick and rush methods. What will he eat with his fish? Crazy.
