Diary - Monday 2 April 2007

2 April 2007

As David Burns never tires of reminding us, Alan Buckley's post-match press conferences are Getting Later And Later Every Week, but once the microphone is switched off, the dressing-room door locked and GTFC closed for business on a Saturday night there is seldom anything worthwhile to report for at least 48 hours. This makes the composition of any Monday's Diary a peculiarly demanding task. When Town's players seem to have reached the 50-point mark much too soon, and are dreaming of their summer holidays before March is even out, the job is harder still, as there is very little to say about the inevitable-seeming two-nil defeat at Notts County on Saturday. The most important point to have emerged is that Phil Barnes had a good game, but Lord Buckley has revealed that even the Mariners' sort-of-slowly-improving goalkeeper threw the ball to a County player he had mistaken for Paul Bolland. Even overlooking the important strategem that is the use of a second kit, it is hard to imagine how proper stripes could be mistaken for Town's awful halves. Keep on dreaming, Town, and we'll keep on paying our 15-odd quid a week each to send you on your jollies when the 46th game is over.
