A few years ago we had a striker called Mick Norbury who we'd bought for an inflated fee at the back end of the season in a desperate and ultimately unsuccessful bid to avoid back-to-back relegations into the Midland Division of the Southern League.
He'd spent some time "at Her Majesty's Pleasure' in his early years and proved to be a wonderously argumentative individual who never actually scored a goal for us and was, happily for us, soon gone.
Some time later he fetched up, briefly, at our blessed neighbours from across Cannock Chase and played for them in a preseason friendly at our ground. The final score of the game is long forgotten but i do remember the referee coming over to the Hednesford dugout for a few "words", after which the irate Mr Norbury was substituted, immediately.

norbury was a mentalist. didnt he get a 6 year ban from all football last year for some reason? we lost that pre-season friendly. think it was 2-0 and ecco and brinners scored. imagine seeing 2 goals at marston poohole in the same day month.  |

That subbing business is an exercise in spin from our Fuhrer. Manager subbed player who was in danger of collecting 2nd booking; Owner/Director of football seems to have taken this as being a win for profanity-free football and has seemingly even managed to get onto the radio to state his position, clearly this has gained some popularity amongst the popular press (who I gather are somewhat right of centre. The right of centre is way way to the right of centre from when I were a lad). We are currently just in a play-off position, its been our best season for a while (4 years of struggle) but its all being overshadowed by childish antics from the boardroom. TF I have a life outside it all (*)
(*) OK, I lied.

I like swearing. It is an englishman's duty to swear oaths. I have been complimented on my profane conjectures aimed at match officials and opposition players, most recently when my missive of: "They say it makes you blind, ref, and you're living f**k**g proof" carried all the way to the dugouts and apparently had the whole of both benches rolling around laughing - the only time in living memory that our manager, Sir Bob Faulkner, has been seen with anything other than a stoic grimace on his face!

It must have been overturned because he's turned up here. www.gooletown.co.uk/squad.htmlI noticed the name in last weeks "pink". He played against Rushall Olympic. A quick WinAmp search confirmed it was the same bloke.  Serves Rushall jolly well right......  |

Sultan, I'd have loved to have met up with you today for a pint and a chat - even more so after the game . I had a full car but we left straight away due to my passengers being needed for family functions this evening and that bit of the dreaded M6 being potentially the slowest section of road in the country on bank holidays. Good luck for next season. |

It wasn't going to happen anyways, i've been laid up a bit for last few days with a hip/back problem.  I bet u wanted a word after the game! Another 3 pts should see us safe this season. Might've known our part-time bogey team wouldn't help.  (unlike our buddies at Tamworth on Saturday ;D) We usually jet straight in and out of games dropping/picking Mrs Sultan in/out of Stafford for shopping. 'Fraid i've been on the wagon for a while now and apart from a few sips from a part bottle of '78 Southern Comfort at the moment (purely medicinal, you understand, to help the painkillers kick in a bit more quickly ) don't intend falling off it. Half time coffee next season hopefully? ;D |
