Yet another disappointing performance has left me wondering how we turn this around? We seem to have lost the heart, grit and determination that saw us grind out results, especially against teams like CDS. We seem to have forgotten how to win and we need to turn things round because I don’t know about anyone else but it isn’t a lot of fun keep loosing. OK it’s not crisis point just yet but it’s getting very close. We have the players to turn things round but our attitude is wrong, we need to play with a spring in our step instead of dragging our heels if we concede. I know its tough when we go one down but we need to play with passion, chase everything like your life depends on it and tackle so hard that the guy you hit thinks he has been hit by a train. We are the only ones who can do it, it’s no good looking for someone else to light the fire and create a piece of magic, we have to make it happen by effort and determination, lets make it hard to beat us again rather than rolling over like we have been guilty of a couple of times in the last few weeks.
Phew….feel like Stalin or Hitler addressing the troops before battle! Actually not a good comparison they both lost and one so badly he topped himself.
One good thing to come out of last weeks efforts was Saturday night’s festive frolics. Special thanks have to go to Chris Read for doing a sterling job behind the pumps. Despite Wally’s best attempts to hang people for not bringing glasses back to the bar and call time remarkably early for a footy do it was a good laugh.
Also a special mention to Neil Banks’s future wife Laura, thanks for telling us all about how Neil thinks he is Gethin Jones from Strictly Come Dancing and the special little shimmy he does to prove just how well he can dance. He has yet to perform this move in public but it’s only a matter of time before the two step shimmy is unleashed. Not to be mistaken for an epileptic fit I have heard it’s quite special so I have lined up Bruno Tonioli for a one off performance at G.A.Y.
Our very own Danny McKinley showed his gymnastic qualities in the no handed cereal box game. His heavy head worked like a pendulum propelling his tongue down to the floor with pneumatic force. Just when you thought no one could match this cranial ability up pops Martel like a character from Lord of the Rings to show how bendy she can be. Her low centre of gravity and sheer lack of height proved an equal match for Danny’s swinging head technique. They both managed to lick the stamp sized piece of card from the floor just after Birdy had walked his shoes all over the floor complete with dog shit. Danny is now suffering from Polio and has been isolated on ward 9 of the James Paget. He hopes to be home in time for Xmas but the ruptured sphincter suffered whilst trying to pick a bottle up with no hands has left things touch and go. The squatting technique in hindsight seems a bad choice. I have a mild dose of Polio after crossing streams with Danny in the gents loo’s, it is only mild dose though as I got stage fright and only managed to get a couple of seconds worth of full flow. Blessing in disguise.
A few more special mentions:
Butcher for shitting his pants halfway through the night.
Danny Rose for demanding filthy drinks at 1.30am, I bet you regretted that Sunday.
Burger for proposing to his girlfriend…did he really do that?!
Steve Collins for shitting his pants after Burger proposed, the pressure is really on you now Stevie!
Shovel hands Smithy and his ability to pick up bottles with his thumbs. Shame it’s the only thing he can pick up.
Ross Jones for killing two members of the public after somersaulting trying to pick up the cardboard box with his mouth.
Gethin Banks and the two step shimmy.
