The Football League.

(Not the ‘EFL’)


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.

Quoted from Grim74
Moheem Ali
if wasn't for our brave war heroes many who have sacrificed their lives, he'd be herding goats up a mountain in Pakistan right now.


If it wasn't for our brave war heroes, he wouldn't have the right not to wear a poppy.

Whilst based in London I quite frequently had to visit MOD Main Building and also the Old War Office. Both usually had some peace protestors outside. Sometimes very vocal, sometimes not.
Our brief was to ignore them totally. This was adhered to 99% of the time.  However, on the odd occasion (and making sure there were no press about), I transgressed.

I would politely put it to the protestors that their very existence justified my job and that them being there made me feel appreciated.  I would be polite and patronising, which normally had the desired effect of them getting all worked up, shouting 'not in my name' etc etc. But the irony is that I also believe that what I was saying was true. So when we see the likes of Ali, etc declining to wear the Poppy, use the energy to thank those that did make sacrifices, not to have a go at people with different beliefs to ourselves. And whilst we may not agree with such people, the fact that they have that right is what we should be proud of.  


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'

It is those in the M.O.D. that are the biggest threat to our forces.How many of our ex service men suffer mental health problems and even kill themselves due to their lack of care,far more than those who are killed on the battlefield.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Think I read somewhere that the death toll from suicide since the Falklands was bigger than the number actually killed in the war itself.

Shaun Harvey and his pal getyourfactsright


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
