22 April 2008

What's Peter Till's best position? For Birmingham City reserves he often used to play up front. Alan Buckley signed him to play as an orthodox right winger. And for most of the last three months or so he's played as a withdrawn support striker, in the hole that Kingsley Black disappeared into sometime during 2000. But for the rest of the current season Till's position is likely to be nothing more than horizontal, due to the nasty knee injury picked up by the skilful 22-year-old striker/winger/support forward in the process of opening the scoring at Bradford last Saturday. At the very least the player will miss the final home game of the season against Peterborough this weekend, as Town physio Dave 'The Rave' Moore has told the Grimsby Telegraph that the injury "looks like it's medial ligament damage... As for playing again this season, I wouldn't think Peter has a great chance." Let's hope that by the time the lad comes back, the Buckster has brought in an all-rounder for the centre of midfield, so the team can get back to 4-4-2, Till can get back to his best position wide on the right, and somebody can actually pass the ball to him.

GTFC have made an announcement about the club's proposed new stadium. The announcement announces that the announcement announced by the previous announcement has not, in fact, been announced, and will now be announced later. Watch this space for further announcements.

"I was most pleased to read Tetney Diary slagging off of all and sundry on Friday," wrote Ben Gresswell in an email back on Friday afternoon, "as that was exactly what me and my mate had been doing in the office up to the point where I broke off to do some work (aka reading the Diary). Nobody was exempt. We had Fiona who looks like a female Harry Potter and is teacher's pet (such a swot), then we moved on to Steve who is Harry Potter and the other teacher's pet (big time swot). Then we got to the boss who thinks she's God's gift but in fact is a fat-arsed dumpling with a beard! Not to mention Dave who looks like a pervy BFG and has long fingernails. Even Kris couldn't escape. He's the nicest guy in the world, that's why we slagged him off. You can be too nice you know. Anyway, like Tetney Diary no doubt, I feel a lot better for this childish exercise and will now enjoy my weekend. I'm sure I will be nice to everyone on Monday (but not too nice!). Here's looking forward to the end of this season and the start of the next which might actually mean something to someone. Oh, and Yorkies or not, here's hoping that Rotherham find a buyer." Amen to that - and there've been some positive developments on the latter, I believe. How's this week then, Ben? Is there anyone left to slag off, or do you just go back to the start and begin again?
