10 October 2007

Howdy. Mr Diary has been summoned to Birmingham, a place so grim Peter Till left there for, er, Grimsby. Anyway, Headingley Diary here for a quickie.

It took two replacements by the start of the second half, but the emergence of the Lump and Andy Taylor from the bench turned around Town's fortunes at Rotherham last night. Trailing by a goal after a limp first half performance, of which Alan Buckley couldn't "think of a good word for", the gaffer's reshuffled showed team spirit to come back and grab a neatly worked equaliser, slotted home by an unsplit boot of Peter Till. Despite further pressure, the Mariners couldn't snatch a win in normal time. But, Ciaran Toner aside, they were calm enough to beat the Millers 4-2 on penalties. Back from the brink, eh!

The draw for the next round of the Paint Pot, the northern area quarter-finals, is on Saturday. Do they still have two-legged area finals for this then?

"Hey kids" the flash on a new GTFC poster shouts, "Friday night football is back." Yes, the evil that is Friday night football returns. But put our differences behindus. Let's all club together, get behind the team and all that. Which is what the club is thinking, employing (or not if you see where this is going) a nice bit of marketing prowess to try and entice the club's supporters to do their dirty work for nowt. Print off those posters and plaster them all over! I'm running one off now to take to my local. In Headingley. And then entice one of the other locals to the game. Will that mean I'll win the free match tickets on offer?
