Diary - Friday 20 August 2004

20 August 2004

It's time to put on makeup. It's time to dress up right. It's time to dribble inanely and write a load of shite. Yup, it's diary time, bought to you by your Special Guest Diary. My brain is absolute turd today though, so don't expect much.

Newsy woozy woo. Well, Reddy may start or may not - Russ is being very sly on this one. Everyone else as you'd expect I suppose. Hockless aint back yet coz he got a kick on his ankle in the reserves game apparently, and he's probably got a nasty graze which is all scabbed over and everything now. Our back-up defender, and back-up back-up defender are both injured for a bit, as I'm sure you know. And that's about it. Rushden will be unchanged, but Mr Wilson will tell you more about them in his previewy thingum once he's only bleedin' well gone and done it. Aint he. Mister.

News reaches me of another fixture change - is there no sanctity in Saturday football anymore? Eh? Eh? Hmm... thought not. I blame ITV, and so should you. For no good reason of course, in the same way that there's no good reason for them to be producing yet another shite-arsed attempt at a football programme. Give it up you losers. Anyway, the Lincoln match, 28th Dec has been moved to the 29th Dec at 7.45 because, well because, er, because the police said so. Move along, nothing to see here. The Lincoln City Supporters Trust have backed the decision, although curiously they don't give a reason for doing so. Nice.

In the now obligatory ex-player paragraph, Rochdale have gone all wobbly-brained and offered Tony Gallimore a contract until the end of the season. Interestingly Gallimore was sent to Iceland for treatment on his gammy knee, but came back a bit too early and his knee went all wrong again. He's better now though. Alcohol prices are extortionate over in Iceland aren't they? And while we're on the subject of footballers and drink I also noticed that Lee Ashcroft has signed with Kendal Town for the new season. If you want to know which league they're in, I'll just tell you that you may catch him in action if you travel to The Hawthorns on April 23rd.

To the Grimey Telegraph then, and they have an interview with Sylvester Stallone who says that the Mariners have no-one to fear this season. Except perhaps Apollo Creed who'll pretend to be your best buddy then hand you over to the Imperials - the bastard. No hang on, I'm all over the place here. It's actually Simon Ramsden who's saying this - I guess the GET have given him a new nickname. What was wrong with Ramo, eh? Let's not break with tradition here - what next - Friday night football? Oh.

And before I head off to the pub - for that is what Fridays are for - I'll leave you with one final link. CA's own Mr Pete Green has written another wonderful column in the GET, however at the time of writing most of it seems to have disappeared. Do you think the GET boys are all golf fans then? Figures.
