Just Back

Quoted from AussieMariner

Looking forward to the highlights of this one - some early candidates for goal of the month
Taylor’s goal on half time looked a bit special

I missed that goal. With my wife being very wary of Covid she is not keen on me going so I said I would not use the loos during half time and would wear a mask. I left my seat at 44 minutes and as I walk along the front Town scored their fourth. Very happy to go into half time at 4-0. When I was coming out from the loos I was told I missed the goal - and I thought - no I didn't. But when I got back to my seat I was told it was 5-0. I thought I was being wound up - even when I saw the score board. Very strange feeling. So I will be looking forward to seeing that goal, and the rest,

Not sure why someone feels the need to red cross that!

That 5th goal was a weird one because it was quite literally the last kick of the half. Dover didn't even take the kick off. The only confirmation I had that it was a goal was that the players walked off happy.

I wondered that. But maybe he (or she) felt I should not have left my seat until the whistle blew, which is what I always used to pre-covid. But my wife is scared stiff of Covid and to put her mind at ease (a little) I will do all I can to ensure I stay safe as possible from it. And that includes not being packed into the loos at half time.

There were plenty who missed the 4th as well as the 5th.

Completely understandable mate. We've all got different levels of caution around Covid and people would do well to respect those that are wary around stuff.

Personally I'm young(ish), healthy, double vaxxed and take 2 tests a week so am not at all worried for me, but I am conscious that for some folk any part of that may not be the case so try to act accordingly.

Unless I'm jumping around in a crowd at a gig, cos I sort-of think if someone is nervous, they aren't going to be at the front in the thick of it.

Maybe try going to the toilet at the start of the second half next time.

Seriously though, you're doing what you feel you have to do to keep you and yours safe.

I was very fortunate to have seen that. If I had left for the loos 30 seconds earlier I would have missed it,

Most likely our resident scunt troll, who has been hiding under his rock so far this season, occasionally popping up for air and red crosses.

I cannot attend at the moment, waiting for a operation on my ear, got my pre-assessment on the 18th Oct at Castle Hill, operation in early November. I cannot risk getting a positive test for Covid.

Missing not being at BP, I normally look after the Press Room on matchdays.

So replying BT sports highlights to get my fix.

Hopefully I will be back soon.

Good see BP buzzing again, back in the day had to get to BP early to get my standing spot in the Pontoon behind the goal.

If anyone else recognised the ref but couldn’t remember why… he was the idiot in charge against Mansfield 2 years ago. He had a howler that day. Threatened to do it on Saturday too - definite sending off for me early on.
