Leo is rock, I wholeheartedly agree with that, but is it really rock to want to go shopping rather than go to a tinpot footie game? ;D
I was kind of trying to plan this with everyone but when Medibot stepped in with his efficient train plan (well done sir) Leo decided that as you lot didn't need me any more, I could go and help him find new games for his Xbox and trawl through HMV looking for stuff he ought to have bought years ago...!
I hate shopping, but he hates me being taken away from him by a load of sweaty blokes running around a field every Saturday, too, so fair's fair. I'm sorry I missed you Meadow, but we should be meeting tomorrow, should we not? It was good to catch up with the rest of you...thanks for beer and food (Malx)!

Last nights Shropshire senior cup semi-final was abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch.....2 minutes after kickoff.
Weather had been fine earlier than day with the odd shower before the game. This suddenly switched to a thunder storm shortly before kickoff. Heavy rain poured down and the pitch (which had not been waterlogged once since the new club had formed) was soon flooded. The ref called the players back inside for 15 minutes to see if the weather would pick up. It did not so the emergency match abandoned procedures were brought into effect for the first time. We were each given a ticket for free entry to the replay and 50-50 tickets and parking tickets will carry over to the next game. Spirits were raised on the way out when it was announced in the other semi-final Market Drayton were leading Shrewsbury 1-0.
It did not last however, with Shrewsbury pulling off an injury time winner to scrape a 3-2 victory past their Midland Football Alliance opponents. They will play the winner of Telford v Bridgnorth in the final.
Telford & Bridgnorth will replay their game this Thursday, the final will therefore have to be moved back as this was scheduled for Thursday. No idea when this will be played now, none of the 3 teams left are too eager to play it so close to the start of the season.

I'm sorry I missed you Meadow, but we should be meeting tomorrow, should we not? Barring disasters, I'll be there. Contingency plans in place for care of youngest should OH be home late from work. Basically eldest will have to wait until her step-dad gets home then she'll have to run like hell to make kick-off (or at least walk as quickly as she can - she's now off the crutches).

Mind you, how fortunes have changes in 6 short years? Indeed! Looking forward to meeting you too- and finding out your real name ;D For the benefit of you, Meadow and whoever else, I am small, female and probably will be wearing Sutton United coloured flip-flops I was at that4-0 game and have the programme in pristine condition, which may well be worth something one day if it isn't already. I won't sell it though... I have about 600 other programmes which I won't sell either! That game wasn't competitive by the way... it was just another friendly. You beat us in the first competitive game between the two sides, 1-0 in the Surrey Senior Cup, I believe

Just leaving now to have a pre-match sup. It's a lovely evening so ive got my white away shirt and combat shorts on (with whiter legs sticking out the bottom!) I'm in my 40's with a rather stylish goatee and I answer to the name of Greg. Hope to see you there I was at that4-0 game and have the programme in pristine condition, which may well be worth something one day if it isn't already. I won't sell it though...

You beat us in the first competitive game between the two sides, 1-0 in the Surrey Senior Cup, I believe Sorry I didnt get to meet you, I did spend all night on 'foot patrol' (geddit?) looking for Sutton United coloured flip-flops . Chances are I will visit GGL at some point in the season as it's fairly close by so I'll make better arrangements to meet and say hi. Good game tonight and could have gone either way but for some fine goalkeeping at both ends (especially our 15 yr old youth keeper who saved our bacon on 3 or 4 times! I was impressed by Suttons No2 and 11 but who was the No.8? It bugged me all night as I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before! I think I'm going to put a fiver on you to win the Ryman Premier this season. Your main rivals will be Hornchurch, Staines, Horsham (another great freindly club who are ground sharing at Worthing while they build a new ground) and perhaps Ramsgate and Billeracay. Potential dark horses - Boreham Wood. At least you are reaquainted with your close neighbours (and arch enemies) Carshalton which should make for 2 very interesting fixtures! I might even take a Gander (no pun intened!) Good luck for 08-09 and I will be cheering the U's on from Ewell!

From another thread Was a boring match after the 1st 10 mins, however great time in the bar! However hope this makes sense not sure I am sober enough to write this Wot she said. A rather fuzzy head this morning, I blame Ambersalamander. Shouldn't have let me drink that much. I thoroughly enjoyed myself last night. A lovely club and lovely people. We left well after 11 and the last people in the bar were Sal and Medibot plus our assistant manager, coach, club captain and another player.

Gangrene lane is reknowned for its hospitality! Spent a number of merry afternoons in and around the Lane and never regretted it.
Amber - your diminuitive description of your diminuitive self was seriously lacking.
You forgot to mention the soulful brown eyes, your lack of bounce and volume control (Come on!! ) and the fact that you prove the rule about good things coming in small packages...

What? This is Tinpot Terrace! Come on Bridgnorth. It is standard procedure to support the smaller team in such a match which would be Bridgnorth. However for me atleast I also consider it standard procedure to wish the other teams supported by regulars well (unless they're playing Telford or Telford would gain from them losing) so I can atleast say if they win "atleast [name] will be happy". Ofcourse that's just a Giggy method and not official TT ruling. It is however enough to level the playing field so the people of Tinpot Terrace can support whoever they want in this case.....except for me ofcourse. Though I balanced it out by backing Market Drayton Town against Sewersbury. Long story short no matter what the Tinpot-karma is balanced in this situation.

Solihull Moors 1 Birmingham City 2 A much better performance from The Moors - should have been 2-2 but McPhee had his none too powerful penalty saved .

Feel obliged to mention that we have beaten both Eastbourne and Lewes in the last week. Both by the odd goal - Wesel away and Boro at home.
This pleases me greatly. ;D

Had one of those 'good day out apart from the bit between 3 and 4.45' type days! Weird weather day too. Got wet walking to the station, drenched walking from Bath station to the Weatherspoons for brekky, then later on dried off and nearly got sunburnt. After a couple of mediocre pubs, had a lovely pint of Gold in the Raven, just a stone's throw away from our next stop, and a favourite of ours, the well named Salamander. Game was rubbish or rather we were We'll be back in our natural home the Blue Square South if that continues. Walked back to town via the pub by Twerton Park (The name I never can remember!) where we relived that ancient pastime of following the cricket on Ceefax! Before walking to town via the Royal Oak with it's 10 real ales and 2 real ciders. Couple of pubs in town, including another of our favourites the Lambretta bar, then off home. Roll on next week and proper football!
