UTO’s I've only ever been once, for the FA Cup game we won in the early 90s. Saw more Man Utd shirts in the town than Gillingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 10 hours ago, alanharper said: Reyt annoyed, due to Covid isolation this is the first home league game I'm missing (apart from the behind closed doors games obviously) in almost 27 years. 594 consecutive home league games attended, since the last one I missed on 2nd January 1995 v Southampton (illness) and Chelsea in 1992 (Donington Monsters of Rock) was the only other one I missed since the 1980s. Have to admit I did contemplate breaking isolation a couple of days early and going anyway, but then I realised if I saw somebody else saying they were doing that I'd be reyt irate at their selfish gitness so I'll just suck it up and miss the match. I actually feel absolutely fine, which makes it seem worse, I've kept the run going before even when I've been ill, I saw us play Dagenham and Redbridge when I had shingles, but I suppose I had to miss one eventually. Hats off Alan, that is a truly tremendous run. Getting there with shingles, and many of the other obstacles that life throws our way for that many consecutive games is some serious dedication to the cause. Superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonstrix Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Outrageous fat shaming in this ODMT. The funniest I’ve read M’lord. Too many funny lines to pick just one. Evans deserves it.

WalthamOwl Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Really hope the rumours of Gregory being out aren’t true. The thought of having to rely on the likes of Paterson, Berahino, Kamberi or Sow up top make me feel sick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical that after 20 months of the Covid pandemic I eventually caught it when we had 3 home games in a week! Plymouth was the first ever home FA Cup tie I missed since I started going in 1981 as well. Yeah, made a few sacrifices over the years to keep the run going, went when I was ill, had conveniently timed holidays (came back from Florida a day early to avoid missing a 0-0 draw with Rushden and Diamonds), and got lucky with timing a few times, like when my first child was born on a matchday, I still made it to the game but only because it happened to have been moved to a Sunday because we had a televised cup game on the Thursday and I'd been stuck in the labour ward all day on the Saturday when it should've been played. Bet the bassads actually play well today and have a stonking win, just to let me down even more! Still, at least I won't have Steve bloody Evans constantly distracting me in my eyeline all afternoon, from my seat near the back of the North Stand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlsPilgrim Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Excellent work Sir this is definitely some of your best work and accurately portrays Fatty McFraud to a tee as well.

Big Jack Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Big respect for Gillingham but zero for odious lard arse. All teams deserve our respect, every team in this league will make it difficult and will be very physical. Hopefully we are now gelling and getting to grip with this league. Today will tell if are moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If other results go the right way it would put Wednesday in the play-off places and be a real morale boost to the squad." "Eh? No. I'm not on about that. I'm on about Fatty Evans! We have to win because it's him visiting. By God, I can't stand the man. The thought of him booming down the touchline gloating, it doesn't bear worth thinking about" "Yes, but you're playing the Club, Gillingham, not the man" "No. We're playing the man, Stubbs. Playing the man. That's the thing with you none football folk, Stubbs, you think it's just club versus club. But it isn't. No. It's the little stories that make the game and this odious toad is one of the games villains. Literally a villain too he couldn't lie in bed straight him...more bent than a nine-bob note..." "Hello?....oh good evening Mr Harg.....yes, yes of course. Of course....goodnight ,Sir" "Who was that?" "That was Mr Hargreaves, Sir. He says careful with the accusations, he can't afford the lawyers at the moment as he's bought a new HDR Camera for filming the beautiful historic towns of England." "Oh. Where's he been?" "Dewsbury" *Shudder* "Oh right. Well, he needn't worry on that score because it's nothing we can get in bother for. It's a fact. Evans was a proven to be a crook.." *TEN MINUTES LATER* "Now come on Sir , don't sulk. Mr Hargreaves was only thinking of the site" "But Evans is a bloody croo-" "Sir!" "Fine. Fine." "Besides ,Sir. As you said before. IT's the side show isn't it. The little side stories. Isn't Evans just playing a character? Like Wenger was as the Professor who never saw anything? Or Fergie the gum chewing Glaswegian. Warnock the 'Wednesday hater. For all we know, behind the facade there might lie a very different character. In fact, in reality I've heard Evans is a little shy" "What of, a metric tonne?" "Sir. Really. We're not just going to engage in infantile remarks about his weight now are we? Now lets get down to football." "Ok" "I do recall Evans at Leeds ,Sir but he fell off my Radar a bit after that where did he go?" "Mansfield, Stubbs" "Oh, made the move to Nottinghamshire did he?" "Didn't really move Stubbs, as much as expanded over two borders" "Sir!" "Sorry" "Anyway Sir, he can't be that bad a chap. His assistant manager Paul Raynor has worked with him at his last 5 clubs. You wouldn't keep doing that if someone was horrible" "Raynor doesn't like him Stubbs. He's just stuck in his orbit" "Sir. Really. This is a bit much." "You're right Stubbs. I'm sorry" "I mean, you're talking about another human being here. A football manager to boot. They work under extreme pressure, and it must have a negative effect on their health. Its an all consuming job-" "He's all consuming all right" "Sir, really. I can't continue if you're going to carry on like this." "I'm sorry. Go ahead." "Right, thank you, Sir. Now a recent report about the health of football mangers suggested that they all need to find relaxing pastimes outside of the game to help them unwind." "Quite right, Stubbs. Common sense." "Steve Evans has apparently bought a race horse" "To stick between two slices of bread?" "I'm done" "Come back Stubbs! I can't do the OMDT without you!" "Ok. But this is your last chance. I mean, it really is puerile. And besides which, it's not very brave you know, is it Sir. Saying all these things behind the mans back" "I'd say them to his face!" "Really?" "Yes. I would. But there's not enough petrol in the car to get around to the front of him" ----------------------------------------------------------- WEDNESDAY -V- GILLINGHAM Sky Bet League One Saturday 13th November 2021 Kick off 3:00pm Hillsborough. Wednesday have only lost one of their seven league matches at Hillsborough this season and have conceded the fewest home goals in League One this season (four) Gillingham will be trying to make it four league matches unbeaten for the first time this season, after winning one and drawing two of their last three in the third tier. Steve Evans's side have only won three of 16 league games in 2021-22, with just one of those coming away from home. Meanwhile, only Crewe Alexandra and Doncaster Rovers have scored fewer goals in League One than the Gills this season (15). ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- WEDNESDAY ------ Sheffield Wednesday will be without Bailey Peacock-Farrell who is on international duty with Northern Ireland, meaning Joe Wildsmith should start in goal. Though he probably should be anyway in my book. George Byers and Massimo Luongo played 72 minutes in the EFL Trophy in midweek as they returned from injury and should be involved in the matchday squad. Sam Hutchinson, Dominic Iorfa - well, that's just the Wednesday way isnt it. Josh Windass is back but needs some "volume" ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- GILLINGHAM ------ Gillingham's already extensive injury list was made worse last weekend as Robbie McKenzie, Rhys Bennett and Ryan Jackson all hobbled off in the FA Cup and will face late fitness tests. Max Ehmer also suffered a knock in that game but was fine to continue and should be able to feature at Hillsborough. Stuart O'Keefe is also in contention to return, having been forced off with a hamstring strain against Accrington Stanley a fortnight ago. ----------------------------------------------------------- UTO Best dialogue I have evr seen you do, Snoots! Just another reason why you have to do the book for the 2022 Christmas marketing opportunity. It's crazy not to do it!! We have a worldwide Wednesdayite network and (esp. in USA) that's a huge market for a targeted sales push. (Better if we were in The Premiership, natch). Anyhow - aren't Gillingham just there to be a team starting with "G" when you're lying awake at night, unable to slepp and are trying to go through the alphabet naming teams that start with each letter in turn, hoping it will send you to sleep? This is going to backfire, isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
