I know you talk sh1te for fun Swin it’s a ‘routine’. But why buy a ticket not wanting to win it. Why not just donate whatever you spent directly to the mission. ?? I think you’d love to win but as always try to be controversial ! |

I was going to donate direct to the Mission as I posted earlier but I didn't know how to do it and frankly I couldn't be arsed to find out and it was so much easier to buy tickets on the GTFC website and pay with Paypal And I would NOT want to win it, what the intercourse would I want with it? Its a hideous lump of plastic FFS. My idea of collectable GTFC memorabilia was the Mick Cullen silver promotion plate a couple of years ago Sadly I was outbid with some ridiculous bid that was unfortunately a genuine one and I didn't get it Fortunately the more we raise for the Mission the smaller and smaller becomes my chance of getting lumbered with Jolley's paperweight. If Fenty's doing the draw he'll probably make sure a Fishy person wins it just out of spite |

Good luck with the book Swin. Google took me to an article you wrote for Cod Almighty about the 8-1 defeat to Hartlepool. Very amusing and another reminder of how fortunate we are in the number of Mariners of a literary bent. Many 'Just Backs' are quite articulate pieces in themselves. Poets, artists, scriptwriters and musicians abound. Pete Green's recent article about Freemo is another example. Not bad for a poet and musician! |

Sadly no. If it was Gy or Meggies local history I might have tried for a signing but its based in Amsterdam (much more desirable for a book launch Might do on the next one as its based partly in Immingham and Cleethorpes |

Good luck with the book Swin..........there I've said it lol.
Nah seriously looks like a subject you have studied and have an interest in good luck.
Anyway if you win a Jolley paper weight would come in handy for your next publication.

Well we knew the Fishy runs the club, and sets the news agenda for the Grim Tel. Now it keeps councillors and millionaires awake at night.

I can see Mr Fenty commissioning Ipswin to do his autobiography |
| When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?” |

https://t.co/sWvBE9B9CC£1,100 in 48 hrs. Brilliant, but I think we can get it to £2,000. Come on you magnificent Mariners.
Well done everyone. Over £2,000 raised. P.S. anyone recommend a good book on Barcelona |

Assuming you mean the FC, not the city: Barca by Jimmy Burns is worth a read. Seem to remember reading Ajax, Barcelona, Cruyff but can't remember much about it. |

For anyone like me and mad about Dutch football I recommend 'Alax The Dutch the War' by Simon Kuper and 'Brilliant Orange The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football' by David Winner (good mention for Ajax's greatest coach Jack Reynolds a former Mariner)

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?

Barca by Jimmy Burns is worth a read.
Seem to remember reading Ajax, Barcelona, Cruyff but can't remember much about it.
The Man who saved Barcelona - The Remarkable Life of Patrick O'Connell, written by Sue O'Connell £14.99. It's an absolute belter of a book and tells of how Irishman O'Connell went to play for Barca after a career in N. Ireland and England The stories surrounding Barca and the Civil war and O'Connell's desire to keep them going at all cost have to be read to be believed. |
| No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan. |

I think the Francoists must be logged in today Jock. Dunno why else anyone would red-cross your post. (Or maybe it was the Commintern Stalinist lackeys of course ). Seem to remember a chapter about Marca/Madrid rivalry being in Football Against the Enemy too. |

Sadly I have to get up at 3am to go to work at 4.30 as I travel twenty miles away to get to work. We are not all budding Steven Kings mate lol. Plus side is I am usually home just after dinner nice in the summer. |
