Cod Almighty | Diary

Weak defences, and we don't mean Forest Green's (other colours are available)

13 December 2017

Never let it be said that Cod Almighty isn't alive to the issues that really matter to Town fans. This month, that can only be: what colour Capri should John Fenty be seen leaping from in The (Un) Professionals?

Orange, said Deviant Diary. Gold or silver, said Rob McIlveen. Yes, but "What about the orange?" countered Deviant. Rob remains unimpressed. Calling it "a weaker defence than any Slade has ever put out", he writes: "What a supremely getyourfactsrightesque offering Deviant supplied to Friday's diary. The psychological reality is this: Deviant referenced Starsky and Hutch, who happened to drive a bright red (with a white stripe down the side) Ford Gran Torino, and confabulated this with both The professionals' gold Ford Capri, and his own expectations about a Ford Capri's appearance. 'A Fenty multi-layered reference' has, I assume, been added by someone other than Deviant, since it makes no sense whatesoever. Anyway, we've moved on. The Human League are the next big thing, apparently..."

Careful, 'move on' is a trigger phrase when Middle-Aged Diary is about. I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me to settle this, and as it has all the makings of a good old-fashioned Sing When We're Fishing feud, we appeal to Bill Brewster and Ron Counte for their opinions. By the way, I'm not sure who will be insulted more by the suggestion that something must have been added to Deviant's response as "it makes no sense whatsoever", Deviant or the rest of the CA team.

For a weak defence, you really need to venture onto The Fishy where John Fenty has explained that the club needed a new supporters' liaison officer as it wasn't clear who the existing one, Kristine Green, was working and speaking for when she raised the invasive stewarding at Stevenage. She was speaking for the supporters, John. Isn't that what an SLO is for?
