I’m puzzled to find that I’m Not dead.
When I joined this little group, during the Late Twentieth Century, I joined as OldGit@Reserves.
So, if I was Old then, what the hell must I be now ?!
More than a quarter of a century has passed and I suffered from health issues Then !
However, that’s all by the by, I simply wanted to say how much I’m enjoying our renaissance. Yes, I’m still in attendance at every home match and ITFC Joe saw me at Watfut where one of my six children is a ST holder.
But, a joy of the modern world is the ability to watch all of our away matches thru the use of my trusty VPN. What a shame, that this innovation wasn’t implemented sooner. How many great matches did I have to simply listen to on the wireless, in the good old days ?
Never mind. I’m having fun tho I have grown as stout as Alan Brazil who scored those five goals against a team that we are locked in combat with now, Southampton. Please let us beat them.
Indeed, please let’s win all of our remaining matches and rightly earn auto promo. As a veteran of 13 or 14 play-off matches, inc one horrifically depressing afternoon at FPR, watching us play via a broadcast from Charlton on a huge bedsheet strung across the pitch, I NEED auto promo.
I even motored down to Selhurst Park to watch us in a Relegation PlayOff match !
So, auto promo, please…!
But, wouldn’t it be fine, to thrash The Carrot People in a po Final at Wemberley !
Is Lucan dead yet ?

So, who’s died ?
I always perk up just a little, when I hear that one of my old chums has pegged it.
Tho, I was saddened by the death of Steve Wright In The Afternoon tho, in those days, we used to work — unlike you youngsters today — and so I rarely heard him but he seemed a cheerful cove tho, like me, he seemed to have gained a bit of timber.
I love an obit. Navalny, today. Putin really is a scamp. I struggled thru the whole Tucker Carlson/Putin interview. Unique 🤒 I bet Putin and Sir Keith Starmer chatting would be a larrrf… [Post edited 16 Feb 2024 14:37]

‘Strong’ is a bit strong, if you’re describing me.
I smell of wee. Do you know, I think I wrote those very words on my first Old Git Reserves Report.
I wonder who was in the Reserves, that night. Someone like Jonas Axeldahl ? He was mustard as a Football Combination goalscorer. Is that what the league was called.
I’ve been at almost every home match for over half a century. It seemed like only yesterday that I would hear old farts say that sort of thing. “I’ve sat in the same seat for over forty years !”
And now that’s me.
(What, you’ve never got up, in forty years ? Don’t be silly. Are people still silly on here or is it all wokevwokeywoke ? Do you remember Eric Clacton ? Now, he was SILLY 👠🙈👠 | | | |

This sure lends weight to the old 'never seen OG and Frimmers in the same room' hypothesis...

Good Grief !
Is EVERYONE still on here ?
In all seriousness, do we keep a book of remembrance for the dear departed ?
Who has actually pegged it, that we are aware of ?
Well, ‘in all seriousness’ is a pompous way of putting it.
We don’t actually know each other so who cares ? The poster called Mariner died, did he ? I suppose we don’t know, really, it just Goes Quiet.
Enough of this ! Who cares, I’m still alive. Marvellous turnout at TheDen. Enjoyed the match so much but we’ve largely lost our mojo and the sad likelihood is that Lord Starmer will win the election on Thursday, 14th November and we will end up in the wretched po again.
Yet again. | | | |

Now you have got me thinking where on my travels I gave away the 'OldGit@Reserves' T-shirt that BluJu printed up for some of us.
And Jonas Axeldal was in the reserves some time after you started posting, you might be getting him confused with Richard Logan (who you were quite cutting about at times, did Phil ever arrange a metting between you and his Dad ?) |  |

Hi OG, good to see you back 👍 Do we owe the honour of your return to your no longer having the ability to Lurk In The Bushes? 🤔 |  |

Of course I did.
I happened to be Lurking — do we still call it that ? — and I noticed that someone mentioned that they missed me. So, I had a poke at logging in and of course I failed.
Today, dear old Gav —(everyone now knows that Gav is actually a beautiful young woman, don’t they?) — emailed me and held my hand whilst I logged in with fresh details.
Gav has lovely hands 🤚🏼 [Post edited 16 Feb 2024 14:51]

A pleasure to hear from you Sir. I am relatively new to these parts and as of yet, our paths haven't crossed on here. I am of later years, so am sure our paths will have crossed in what was once the only world. Many, many years of following The Blues up and down the country through good times and bad. Lucky to be old enough to remember the very best of times. Like I said at the beginning, good to hear from you and I hope all is well. Take care. |  |

Mariner had a serious illness but I believe made an excellent recovery, and I think/hope is still very much alive. Others may have more recent info than me though. | |

Do you know what triggered the name, Axeldahl ? I was recently recounting a Reserves match in which Neil Harris was coming back from an injury that left him a bit light in his underpanties and he completed his Hattie with a lovely goal that we cuppla doz Town fans applauded. I remembered that Axeldahl played in that game.
I was in the winning pub team at Oake’s Barn in Bury, last week: my quizzing ability is amazing and yet I forget to put my teeth in, four days out of five.
Inside my front door is a sign that says, ‘Do your flies up’ and that sign is necessary as not only do I forget but I stand a good chance of amazing passers-by because I have a huge willie…
Not that I have seen it since the latter part of 2007. I am almost as fat as Titus Bramble. | | | |

Still got my T-shirt. Don't wear it very often though.
Maybe it could make an appearance in Wales tomorrow. |  | | |

Gave that shirt away ?!
That would now be worth more than a pair of Lady Di’s knickers !
Is she still about ?

How many Xs are we looking at, now ?
