    1. Getting up early to get ready to travel to Walsall to watch Gills - hoping not to freeze my crown jewels or get soaked.
    Returning home late ( and probably miserable after another 'sparkling' performance - a-la-Brackley ) - and many £ lighter, having consumed a rubbish pie (all pastry) or horseburger

    Here's what I could be doing

    2. Having a lay in. At mid day watch Man Utd v Arsenal, followed by a dose of Barcelona at 3.15. Their match would be over just in time for Spurs v West Ham ( whilst Mrs alwaysrright serves up a delicious spagbol ), - followed up by the Madrid derby and Match of the Day.

    In fact - as I've a strong bladder, I could do all of No.2 without having to get out of bed - except for a long hot shower - and Mrs alwaysright could ensure that no part of me has to freeze.

    How do you get Gills out of your blood ?

    I'm not really sure how you get Gills out of your blood, but Jed is certainly trying hard to find a way.

    Fan, short for fanatic. Modern Latin ' Fanaticus' - "Insanely but divinely inspired" - Marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense and uncritical devotion.
    Well, maybe not the latter. UTG Lads!

    Well it wasn't a total waste of a day.
    Gills played well in the first half - which was competitive. Gills were soooo much better than at Brackley - but then in the 2nd half we started off sitting too deep - and stayed that way. We became disjointed and disorganised. We gave Walsall so much room and time on the ball. We failed to cut out many crosses. Konchesky had a particularly poor game in the second half.
    In that 2nd half, Gills had only one shot on goal - and it counted ! In truth, if I was a Walsall fan I would feel as if we'd been robbed - Gills got lucky - perhaps the efforts of the fist half deserved something from the game - and if we play with the effort shown before half time, there would be no need for fans to go to games with banners demanding " JED OUT "

    much more important than mere football

    For any Gills fan who think they might know what misery is like as we undergo performances and results that do not make us happy - you know nothing !

    I cannot begin to imagine the grief being experienced by the family. Mere football results have absolutely NO significance compared with their heartache. I find it impossible to know what words can be used to bring any comfort to the little girl's parents. I would gladly trade relegation for the Gills if it could have avoided the agony for Jessica and her family.
