Reply | McKenna first away game - Gillingham 8/1/22
at 08:01 14 May 2024
It's my local club and Gills gave something like 200 tickets to the youth football club I coached at so I took half of my u15's down to watch it, including 2 Romanian lads (who were fabulous little players!) who had never been to a football game and kept asking me to arrange to go to one. They came away loving Ipswich and I remember one of them saying to me that he thought Morsy should be playing for England. I told him he was Egyptian and he probably knew Mo Salah which blew his mind!
Most Gills fans I sat with that day knew I was a Tractor boy and ended up celebrating with me as they'd already given up with Gills that season and just enjoyed the football we were playing in the end. Other than the guy I spent 10 minutes queuing for a burger behind who thought that we were there to be got at if Gills could just move the ball forward faster, which seemed a little odd as they spent the whole game using the same tactics of the centre back hitting a long diagonal ball to Oliver and being shocked when Fridge came away with the ball every time 😂.
I remember coming away thinking this felt like a different victory to anything I'd seen for a good few years and my son made a bet with the rest of his team that Ipswich would be in the Premier by 2026 after the game and he was roundly mocked by most of them. His phone nearly exploded 2 Saturdays ago! |
