I can’t let last weeks result go by without a congratulatory message……on the linesman’s performance. Having not featured much in the last 5 games I’m beginning to feel like a journalist writing this piece and doing nothing to influence the result! Mind you I do make us much prettier for the pictures! Like every good pro I will keep fit and await my chance and then like every good team member who has done so before me, leave and sign for someone else!Goldy’s run of luck continues with the opener for Saturdays game. I’d like to say it was 100% intentional but it came at him quite quick and almost looked to take him by surprise. If the camera man had realised he could zoom we might of got a better look but well don’t to Landsy for capturing it on camera. You know he was dead pleased as you heard him whisper ‘I got that on film!!’ I would say can you try and film one of mine but you might be waiting some time, time team in 2108 will probably dig up a bone structure of man still holding what seems to be a digital camera as Landsy tirelessly waits for me to score. Will an OG do?
At this point I just thought it would be nice to congratulate Neil Banks for his contribution to Potblack over the last few years. Due to an imminent suspension for having awful breath he is now banned until 2010. Last week saw his last ever game for the club and I personally want to wish Neil and his upright fan all the best for the future. Neil tells me when the ban finishes he is hoping to carve out a successful career as a linesman in the veteran’s league. Good luck Neil and despite your slight retardation we still love you.
Moving on, I got a bit of stick on Saturday for mentioning everyone in the blog and then failing to point out my four hour sulk in Bratislava. Ok I did over react slightly but so would you after 30mins sleep all night and a thumping head! I tried to avoid the ‘easy target’ option by not getting too wasted on the way over but still my suitcase grew legs and hid itself. I have the names of those involved, you know who you are and I would sleep with one eye open from now on if I was you! I have your number Steve Collins, I won’t forget…. Ahhh thought it was also worth pointing out Landsy now holds the record for being fastest to spew on a PB tour. He made it to Stansted but spewed up outside the toilets in the departure lounge, nice!
Thought I better inform everyone that this week I received a formal complaint from the supporters club of Corton FC. Yes, whilst the game was in full flow Saturday Danny reacted badly to two Corton supporters who bad mouthed his constant moaning at the referee (this is clearly demonstrated in the video footage captured by Landsy). The letter reads;
Dear Mr Sterry,
As chairman of the supporters committee for Corton FC I would like to make you aware of the formal complaint I shall be lodging to Suffolk due to the tirade of abuse one of our supporters was subjected too during Staurdays fixture. The manager of your club Daniel Mckinley has no right to tell one of our supports to, I quote ‘Fuck Herself’. Further more despite her looks she is actually a woman and resented being told ‘your right I wouldn’t speak to a woman like that’ insinuating she is a ‘Shim’. She also did not appreciate comments added by fellow members of your club. The fact it was a game of Football gives no reason for foul language to be acceptable, adding ‘if you don’t like swearing fuck off to church’ only serves to fuel our argument. We will however take a small amount of leniency as Daniel did apologise later on in the game.
(What they failed to see was his fingers crossed behind his back!) Please do not let this happen again or I will be forced to crush you.
Regards
Reginald Perrin
I know it’s hard to believe but county clubs are starting to form a ‘we hate Committee members of Potblack FC’ website. Myself, Kev and Danny over the years have upset more refs, yokel linesman, opposing managers, supporters and players than we care to imagine and it’s about time we cleaned up our act. You first Kev!
With no fixture next week Danny has been left to arrange a pitch somewhere so we can do a bit of training…… Let’s be honest, I’ll see you all down the club for 1 because we know he will leave it too late and our options will be PBHQ or Evrits park bowling green!
See ya soon homo’s.
