Tonight

Jeff seemed far more interested in watching and supporting Kentish Town last night, indeed he has been to our last three fixtures, what does that tell you, I may ask him to pen a 'guest article' for the programme soon at this rate.

Nothing I didn't already know.

More interestingly, I bumped into a friend at Thamesmead Town tonight who was at the Brimsdown game last night. Some of the more notable things he told me were:
1) There was no admission charge last night. This makes your offer of complimentary tickets a bit hollow and smacks of desperation just to try and attract anything approaching a crowd to one of your "home" games.
2) The match programme was apparently most interesting as the second half of the it was an exact reprint of the first half, only it was upside-down! Yet, you still had the cheek to charge £1 for it (although I understand you did so apologetically). What happened there?
3) What was in the programme was complete waffle. The match reports went back as far as the pre-season match against Hertford and a big deal was made about two of your best players going to Brimsdown.
4) Brimsdown's fifth goal was probably a candidate for the best goal scored at a Kentish Town match all season; a perfectly executed scissor kick volley of a ball that cam at the scorer just behind him.
5) Kentish Town have "lost all their players".

What was funny (my friend doesn't read this website so doesn't fully understand what a standing joke you are on here) was his question to me "Is the Kentish Town Secretary the lanky fellow with the dark hair and a mac?" "Yes", I replied. "Well, he doesn't smile much does he? Always looks like he's got the world on his shoulders. He needs to lighten up more." Well, made me laugh anyway!

That's what happens when you do it in a hurry on the photocopier at work before antone catches you!

Potters Bar Town - I think 'your friend' (so you have them) is badly mistaken or else he is on a different planet. Firstly nobody offered or wanted to pay to come in and I couldn't be arsed to argue the toss with people who are simply cheap skates like 'your friend', why didn't he approach me then to offer a contribution. Secondly you are making it up about the programme in order to make me look silly and anybody wanting a copy of the 76 page programme of Hello and OK magazine proportions, including you, can PM me their address and I'll send them one, they will soon see that what you say is not so. You say what was in the programme was complete waffle, is this according to 'your friend' or you. Brimsdown's fifth goal was decent but by no means the best we've seen all season, that honour goes to Thomas Looney at Cranfield United when the opposition queued up to shake his hand straight after it Takumi Ake style. We have not lost all our players and how would 'your friend' know this anyway, we had a virtual Reserve team out last night due to injury, unavailability and some of our players are Arsenal season ticket holders. Lastly your final comment is an interesting one in that I remember saying exactly the same about you, have you been waiting all this time to get your own back.

Rhodes - sense of proportion! Why on earth do you want to produce a 76 page (glad you now work in multiples of 4!) for a run of the mill SSMFL division 1 game. even the twerps who judge programmes for the awards won't be fooled by an overstuffed tome containing all the match reports to date. Who is the intended readership of this stuff? Haven't they read most of it before? (an increasing percentage, as the season drags on).

By the way, PBT's friend almost certainly is on a different planet - it's called Earth!

Horace - Actually I cut down on pages for Wednesday's game and didn't put so much effort into it although it wasn't a run of the mill game for Brimsdown as you put it, you would have thought it was the Champions League, FA Cup and World Cup finals all rolled into one and I have never seen a team so up for a match. Anyway when I put eight programmes in their dressing room before the game their players almost came to blows fighting over them, clearly word had got out possibly from some of them knowing what to expect from here.

You should do a "stand up" comedy turn Rhodes! Big Stan "I'm Here All Week" style.

I actually agree with rhodes (I have been ill lately and I think that's a symptom) but my theory is they read this web-site and wanted to see if it was true what has been written about clip rods, clement "bottle washer" temile and KTFC.

Lato - You certainly seem to be very under the weather to agree with me, could it be bird flu or mad cow disease. I suppose, as you suggest, there must be lots of players from every SSML Club who read this board (Gavin expression) without getting involved in the banter, whatever happened to RobbieO from Biggleswade United as at least he had the balls to come on and pass the time of day with us. One big difference I have noticed about the Kentish Town players compared to the Haringey ones when I was there is that they really appreciate a programme whereas the Haringey lads weren't the slightest bit interested, I have to put 14 or 15 in our dressing room for home games and even then there is a fight over them as some want two for their family and friends.

Or could it just be...irony?

[3praise]

yes Rhodes the difference at Haringey was that the players had something a bit more factual and intellectual to read - THE SUN!!

[Rhodes]

Well you said it not me however it's a poor show if players don't have the slightest interest in their own Club's programme and you find them all lying in the mud on the dressing room floor at the end of a game. At Kentish Town it is the first thing the players ask for when they arrive for a home game and, like I said, if there aren't enought to go around then World War III breaks out.

I suppose if you never play a home game "at home", you can never be sure there's going to be enough toilet paper in the changing room. Always best to make sure!
