A. Marriner who really isn´t that old Perhaps will be needing new specs, Either that or he just had an off-day Either way, we felt the full effects Although having seen just the first half, I´d say The pen shout was maybe no cert, Some will be given while others will not Had it been us we might have felt hurt Usually when refs see things that aren´t there Or miss things that seem plain to see, It affects both sides during the 90 mins Yesterday though, it wasn´t to be So on that basis to manage a draw That after being behind twice, Was more than impressive against the Toffees But almost we did pay the price But the match itself lived up in every way To everything we had hoped for, Action at both ends, right from the off No danger that this one would bore Glad to see Howson who started quite slow Work his way into the match, And finally score as he´s been threatening to There´s no doubt he´ll be one to watch But having Holt back and Wesley on song Makes all the difference to the team, And good to see, at the back, Bennett R Fitting into things just like a dream So that makes 40 points home safe and sound With 6 matches still left to play, What happens in those six matters not much Which should make them more fun to play But as it stands now we could end in May As high up as in seventh spot, And although unlikely, with what we have left Not bad for one dubbed for the drop. OTBC Have a good Easter, and a great week all, Yours,
great rhyme rbf, we should have won that one! Whilbraham was incredible when he came on, did he get any mention for his brilliance in controlling his rebounded shot beating 3 Everton players and setting up Holty... no. Great team performance, but thought Wes looked very tired at end think the little man needs a rest in the summer not a call up for Ireland!
Morning jarold, Yep, we certainly deserved to win, but no shame in a draw, and great to see some unfancied runners surprising the favourites
Excellent poetry RBF would you agree with putting marriner on "ze list" with durso, ilderton and michael oliver for his crimes?
No, I don´t think he quite deserves that Beef, but I´d like to see the 2nd half before making a final judgement.
Hi RBF, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by STC is my favourite poem of all time! What a story it tells, with some life-lessons for us all! Your version also tells a story, allbeit a contemporary one, and I rank it up there with Coleridge's version! Happy Easter to you and yours Sir
