Diary - Tuesday 23 March 2010

23 March 2010

Mardy Diary writes: Mmmmmm, noodles. Sorry - the Diary, right. You've caught us a bit short this week (or not if you're still trying to get through via codalmighty.com - which isn't working due to reasons only known to the internet gods). As per usual no-midweek-match Tuesdays, there's plenty of 'news' stories out there, but not really any real news. I can tell you that John Deehan thinks we can stay up, and that John Deehan believes his job is to help us stay up, and that John Deehan remembers that goal he scored which knocked us out of the cup yonks ago. They could've put all those in one article, couldn't they? Or at least spaced it over a few days. Ne'ermind - this is what passes as news these days so I'll guess we'll have to put up with it. At least until, if the rumours are to be believed, the Telegraph starts charging for online access... hahahahhahahhahahahhaha.

Sorry, where were we? Ah yes, joint-second top-scorer Jamie 'The Devil' Devitt is hanging around until the end of the season - which can only be good news as he's largely looked pretty handy and Jude is happy to be here again, having been one of about two million Russell Slade-era trialists that didn't make it. And to think that Ronnie Bull did. That's sent a chill down my spine. In other temporary player news, goalie Oxley has gone back to Hull as I guess we don't need him right now. I'm right in thinking that under the convoluted loan system we can still loan a keeper if Colgan gets injured, yeah? I'm sure I'm right.

And so we move on to your letters - as there were complaints from some quarters that the Diary inbox wasn't being checked regularly. I dunno - some of us have better things to do than sit around reading letters while smoking a pipe and wearing slippers - like your regular Diary is wont to do. So, Tom Carpenter writes regarding the re-emergence of the codalmighty.net address: "May I congratulate the editorial board of Cod Almighty on their change of moniker. I had long felt the need for more fishing references in the various web guises of the club." We're here to please, Tom. "I sent an email to Mr Fenty asking him to change the name of the SNOS to gtfc.haddock," he continues, "He failed to respond, either because of my failure to sign off 'Heil Thatcher', or because the email account expired with the late great Alan Buckley's contract. Your re-emergance as codalmighty.net would seem to fit the bill, however. The next logical step (I mean this in a real, rather than Fenty, sense) would seem to be the abandonment of the un-fish-laden 'www' at the start. May I suggest a change to trawler.codalmighty.net?" A fine idea Tom, which will closely be followed by the launch of our very own social networking site 'FaceHook'.

And on that bombshell I bid you farewell. Oh wait a minute, news just in: John Deehan thinks the club won't be relegated. And more news: John Deehan thinks the club will be in the Football League next season. And further news...
