Wise move

Opinions are best when based upon fact. I don't recall many people queuing up to help us out when it went mammaries up, though I do recall the likes of  Mr"where taking Town to the prem" Huxford on the front page of the Telewag when the gravy train was in full swing.

Yes some people have expressed interested in recent years but of they really cared for GTFC as a football club then they would compromise and work with others to make it better, that's how clubs progress.

Whatever you think of JF a really tough decade would have been even tougher without his support.      


Surely that should cut both ways !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

If I was you Dapperz, I would avoid the Mcmenemy suit for a while

Quoted from VinnyGTFC
Years ago I recall Brian Laws bringing in a variety of younger or lower league players who he refered to as Rough Diamonds.


Remember when that term surfaced with Laws. He was after a guy that he described as a "rough diamond" who had scored shedloads in the Scottish lower leagues but the guys wife didnt want to leave her job in a bank or something. It was a simpler time.

I was there as well.  I can assure you that he did throw it into the crowd.  The material in those days was very heavy, he almost had someone's eye out.  Hence my warning

I'd have been more worried by the fire risk. All that nylon in 70s clothes. Not a good mix with all the fags and booze in the Barrett Stand.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
