Diary - Thursday 28 July 2005

28 July 2005

Today's Diary is given over to a match report sent by Mark Stilton via text message from last night's reserve/trialist/youth team game at Doncaster.

Team: lukic, colley, possibly chamberlain, person with hard to pronounce name at back. Downey and barwick at wing back. Port vale player and navarro in middle. Pino, ipoa and palmer up front. Donny play first team we make Downey captain. Town start well and score early on with nice goal from vale player edge of area. Well struck. Donny score after 30 mins. Deflection. Donny have more chances but few on target. Near end of half unpronounceable gets booked and then almost sent off. Ipoa has a barney at colley. Stand out players: vale player is hard working good passing and awareness. Pino shows some promise but fades. Everyone else a bit disappointing. Colley is a beast. Navarro can't get going. Ipoa and palmer fairly quiet. Barwick isn't really good enough for the reserves. Donny fans taking this match far too seriously

That little lot took poor old Stilts about five messages to send in its entirety. His report on the second half took six. I don't know about his network, but that would cost the Diary £1.32. Good on yer Mark. And sorry, but the second half seems to have got lost somewhere. I think it ended 4-1 to Donny though. Anyway, that's it. See you Monday!
