I have more fun when I don’t 😎
I call it Going Commando…
Is that what that means ?
Lovely sunny day.
I’m predicting 5-0.
I hear that Warkie is A Doubt. But, he’ll play, won’t he ? Always did.
Whereas, no matter how many shots of cortisone they gave Kev Beattie, he so often — sadly, too often — just couldn’t ’push thru’ as people say, nowadays… |

Thread | Sharon Warnock is giving today’s team talk !
at 10:59 24 Feb 2024
A usually unreliable source tells me that, in the absence of Neil Warnock in Aberdeen, Sharon has agreed to address the Ipswich Town players in the dressing room, immediately prior to kickoff, to give them some traditional Warnock gee-up, so that we don’t enter the field of play like zombies, with Wooolfie in his swivel chair watching the opposition centre-forward amaze himself by opening his account even before Brian behind me has taken his seat.
But, there’s more ~
Typical Sharon, she’s gonna start the game with Plan B…!
For the first ten mins, we’re going Route One…
…partly, so that we don’t start the game by conceding a brace…
…partly simply because We Can, with K.R.F. ‘Chief’ Moore upfront !

Outstanding commentary.
Accurate, fluent…and excited.
Spot On.
He sits about a dozen rows behind me.
Lovely Kev Beattie was always up for a chat at half-time when he was The Expert.
Mick Mills is quite the opposite but no-one’s gonna get me to criticise Sir Michael😎👀humph… |

Have a glance at the names that upticked my ComeBack Posting.
Bluebell’s name particularly caught my eye. A very agreeable young woman. No, no pervy overtime meant ! |

Stinking Bishop.
Coincidentally, also the name of my Willie.
Welcoming back someone you’ve never heard of reminds me of the gentle lad in front of me - at FPR - weeping during some remembrance of Bobby Robson.
I shall peg out, soon enuf but I urge you not to cry about that😎
Hopefully, Kieran will then be availabubble, to put an arm around your shoulder when I Pass, as he did with CC…tell me Chappers wasn’t wiping tears away, with his shirt ! |

Bearing up.
Three hours until kickoff…
Team…
Václav Hladký
H.T. Clarke
L.M. Wooolfenden
C.R. Burgess
L. Davis
M.C. Luongo
Samy Sayed Mekkay Saied Morsi - I don’t agree with the Y
W.J. Burns
Omari Elijah Giraud-Hutchinson
K.R.F. Moore
Ali Ibrahim Karim al-Hamadi…note, ‘al’ and not ‘Al’ because it is simply a word literally indicating that he is Ali ‘from’ Hamadi. Like Manfred von Richthofen.
Yes, and I want Broadbean in the team, as well. Defnutly. Of course. He’s suddenly found that lost mojo.
And I like Sarmiento. Remember Sixto Peralta ?
And you have to include Chappers or he will cry. Of course I feel guilty, leaving CC out, but he has lost his effectiveness, recently, we all know that.
And when we say ‘recently’ we actually mean a bit longer than that… |

83 is a magnificent knock.
I raise my bat to him and know that I’m scratching about for the odd single, trying to protect my wicket for as long as possible.
But, my innings is drawing to a close and that’s cricket. That’s the rules.
We must accept that with gritted teeth and good grace.
Uppa Towen.

Fascinating.
Uncle Arthur was “registered blind”…
He would drive me to Norwich in what was I think a 1948 Morris Oxford and after one match, as he drove me home, he commented, “Well, at least Norwich got a draw !”
You will remember the punch line…
NORWICH HAD WON! |

I was chatting to Russell Ward of Bury Town, in Oake’s Barn last week, expressing my feelings of guilt about not getting down to Ram Meadow any more, because now one can watch Ipswich away matches on the tellybox.
I provocatively suggested that Ramadan has been wasted at Bury. “He’s too good for you !”
It’s true. Russell said that Cemal had been there now for 9 years and has now scored 150 hoals. Proves my point, doesn’t it ?
Russ also said that, at first, Cole Skuse and Ramadan had not seen eye to eye. Entirely the boy’s fault, of course; no lovelier man than Cole walks the Earth. He was always welcoming when I used to go to training. ( No, I didn’t take part; I watched😇 ) But, Russell says that there has been a rapprochement. “Cemal is one of them wot needs to be Loved.”
We all do, dear 😎 |

Thank you, Sir.
I’ve rather enjoyed this thread, partly because I’m surprised to see so many old faces. As it were.
I wonder if Phil has a wall at home — yes, I know where he lives ! — with all of our details, posting dates, changes of names, etc. Like that bloke that was ultimately freed after being imprisoned for murdering Jill Dando…he had stuff pinned on his bedroom wall, like they do in TheMovies.
I have also MET Gav, one of only three people, inc Phil, to have ever done so. She is surprisingly pretty😎 |

I’m presuming that the wall covering — at what I’m presuming to be Houston Mission Control — is Lucan’s office ?
((Please excuse me if everyone else knows that. I’ve just popped my heard round the door on here for the first time in 35 years.))

You really are all still as addicted as a Glaswegian to this endless blue loop…!
I broke free.
God, I know you’re good with numbers…me too and I calculate that you must now be between 127 and 139 years old.
Do you know, my youngest said to me the other day, “You were always soooo boringly stupid about Jason Scotland !”
I replied, proudly, “I was known for it, My Boy !”
😇so joyous, that the old, fat, barrel-chested — and barrel-bellied — toad went on to play IN his ‘eponymous country’…
I can’t believe that I’m writing about Jason Scotland — GRRRRR — but he came to mind when one of the pundits was saying that a coach doesn’t need to endlessly repeat himself to Good Players. Rules out Scottie, then ! He was a moron, at training. Sometimes he was just grinning like a mental. “What you say, Gaffer ?” Pay Attention, You Gimp !
Yes, he scored some goals…but he was our Lone Striker. Wish we’d sent him out on Loan🤠
Isn’t it funny, how OldAnger can so easily be provoked in VeryOldGits ?

Good Afternoon to you, Sir.
Perhaps I should say the same again but in a slightly different way…
My msg today, from beyond the grave, is that I’m having great fun watching Towen, this season and I would add that — tho the current team cannot in any way be compared with The Best Team In The World, which I think we probably were, forty odd years ago — Enjoyment Is Enjoyment…
Especially as we’ve endured a cuppla decades of misery.
I can’t honestly say that I’ve enjoyed many of these recent years. I turned out to watch training at Playboy Road so many times, beginning with the Roy Reign, but it was sometimes awkward chatting - as I always did - to managers that were Failing.
I sometimes felt that I was simply watching lads practising not playing very well and, off the top of my head, one of the worst experiences was witnessing us repeatedly hoofing the pill up to a dismal player called Wood…route one…that’s of course what we played, prior to the arrival of The Two Dutchmen.
And I now hope that we will be experimenting with some hoooofs up to the boy I see is nicknamed Chief, K.R.F. Moore. Because it’s an option, isn’t it, when you employ a Proper Centre-Forward that can play with his back to the opposition goal and when you have in the team an Eric Gates like Chappers that can turn apples falling from the tree into goals goals goals… [Post edited 16 Feb 15:17]
