Diary - Thursday 4 September 2008

4 September 2008

The British Broadcasting Corporation reckons Town had a mere six pots at Chesterfield's goal last night, compared to the home team's 23. With such stats you'd be expecting this Idle Diary to inform you Town were thoroughly beaten by those burly bootboys from Derbyshire. But, no no, dear reader! Alan Buckley's side showed it's not what you do it's the way that you do, and that's what gets you results, displaying greater efficiency than their opponents and some timely goalline clearances as the teams drew 2-2 in regulatory time of their Paint Pot tie. And while cynics may feel Town didn't win the shoot-out, more Chesterfield threw it away, the Mariners manager is pleased for a second consecutive game, and we're in the second draw on Saturday! Praise be to Nathan Jarman, close to becoming this publication's new darling, who smartly equalised the inevitable Jack Lester goal, and Fat Man Dan heading home to set up the shoot out. And to top it all, Lee Richardson has had another great big whinge, an ability which would see him fit effortlessly and seamlessly into the current Town messageboards posting of "why our team winning isn't good enough for me".
