Cheltenham- Here I come!

Best of luck Mizen i wish i was there but im taking the wife out for a meal tonight. Was our anniversary wednesday.

What was the game like Miz, read reports that the man in black didn't help matters. However handling outside of the box, is simply inexcusable. Pidge really must have little faith in the defence to do that!

What a day!

Well we arrived in Cheltenham at 12:30 to be told that it was all kicking off in the town centre between some Millwall and Cheltenham fans. As always, the old bill were all around us....They reluctantly marched the Millwall fans to a pub in the centre where there was loads of old bill. Had a good laugh in the pub and we then made our way to the depressing part of the day- Watching Millwall.

The game started with us on the backfoot. We looked nervous and all over the place. 13 minutes gone and the ref decides to give a penalty which was never a penalty...It was both players tangling with each other. Nicely taken penalty and 1-0 Cheltenham, here we go again everyone thought! We was also told by the stewards to keep the noise down as the Cheltenham board wanting their fans to be louder and get behind their team (I am not even joking!), sadly we didn't want to be quiet and the singing got louder!

That seemed to awaken us and we started to play some great football and creating a few chances. Fantastic flukey goal by McCinnes and we was right back in it. Then came one of the many many long balls by Cheltenham and it went straight over Robbo's and Shaw's head and pretty much left the Cheltenham bloke one on one....Pidgley came storming out of his box, the bloke tried to lob pidgley but instead of the ball hit Pidgleys hands and to be honest, he had to go.

Now things looked bad. Looked to be another typical Millwall day...or not. We continued to play great football and a fantastic move by Braniff and Williams led to the second goal (by this time a few beers had kicked in!).

I am tired now so will cut the story a lot shorter! Second half we looked really comfortable untill last 20 mins. Awful (and i really mean awful) defending let Cheltenham in for two simple(ish) goals and all the hard work had come to nothing because of rubbish defending.

Near the end of the game, a tannoy message came out saying to Millwall fans that the police will escort us to the station so that we can make the 5:30 train. Well the game ended and we walked out to find no old bill (for once) so we all made our own way to the station. Everyone was rushing but no one had a clue where to go...It was at least a 3 mile walk. Needless to say, we missed to the train and had to wait 2 hours for the next one. Great.

Anyway, it was a great day. On the whole things are getting better but the defence needs sorting.

Fucking hell...I've just wrote some essay.

If anyone wants to see the goals ^^^

What Pidgley was doing so far out, I don't know! As you can see...The defending is shocking.

Cheltenham was my first game this season and as usual not only do we have the difficult job of beating the team in front of us, we also have to beat the bias officials.

The penalty was a joke Robinson fell over and the Cheltenham player fell over him, however we did well to get back into the game and thoroughly deserved our equalizer, we were then well on top until the sending off decision, which was ball to hand( if it did touch he's hand)rather then hand to ball, yellow card maybe but no way a sending off.

Still this seemed to get us playing again with some spirit(which was nice to see for a change) and we deserved our half time lead.

God knows what they put in their tea at half-time as they didn't seem interested in the second-half and it was only a matter of time before Cheltenham equalized and then right on cue get the third and winning goal.

If we can repeat the first half performance and keep eleven players on the pitch for the rest of the season we will do alright, however if we keep getting C*nt officials we will be lucky to stay up.

I think it is your old age jj





Ok ok ok...we are a little bit shit.

Worry about your own side mate!!

haha Nigel haha.

Then again...The 6 points we lose to Leeds we would make up playing against Palarse.

Well one thing I am definitely sure is that we would not lose to you!
