Diary - Monday 18 January 2010

18 January 2010

Mardy Diary writes:When I said I'd stand in for the Diary last week I forgot Mondays are usually like this. Nothing. Nothing happening except people generally still moaning about the weekend. Nothing at all. No injury news. No exciting/unexciting new signing. No-one kicked out of the club. Nothing. Oh I suppose there's the fact that Linwood won't be banned for a game because the five yellow cards cut-off point is now the end of December, and not the end of February. So excellent timing from Mr Linwood then - unlike some of his passes on Saturday. Ahahahahaha. If you don't laugh you cry, blah blah bollocks.

Elsewhere news filters through from unofficial sources that the little fracas in the away end on Saturday was actually the result of local morons, and not some overexcitable Gloucestershirians Gloustarians Glou... fans from Cheltenham. Apparently, the stewards and police were so engrossed by the exciting football in the first half that they failed to see that four drunken twats managed to wonder from the home end in to the away end. There was, as a result, some 'bother' as they put it in those tiresome books written by ageing, closet-dwelling fashionistas who liked to hit each other in the eighties while some of us were trying to watch the footy. It was probably them making a return on Saturday - harking back to their heyday, having it large with the Cheltenham, er, Choppers, whilst doing a runner from the ol' bill and buying some nice 'clobber' - such as a handbag or a nice pair of heels.

Anyway, I blame Town's bad form on the African Nations Cup. I'm not going to back that claim up with any kind of argument or evidence - you don't need to do that in modern football writing. Cheerio.
