Yesterday

Currently sat on the pot. Been here 20 minutes. Not sure if it was the Angus burger or the beer at silly o'clock but my arse is like Winnall, on fire.

Soz.

But aye, love my job. Thanks mate.

 

What about starting lineup sudoku??

 

Brevity has never been my strong-point, pal.

 

I reckon we should have a one off Whitey/Red Rain Haiku match report challenge

 

pmsl!

 

I always enjoyed looking for Wally.

 

There'll be one with a handheld camera around Oakwell on Saturday.

 

Angus was superb yesterday, oozing more and more confidence as the game went on.

 

Forgot to say re the ground. I loved it. A proper football stadium right in the heart of the community. I said to my mate that, if I was from London, I wouldn't support Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea or West Ham, it would be a club like Brentford.

 

I really genuinely
Would love to read that
Another seven syllab...

Bugger.

 

He meant you have bad Hobbits.

 

Lol

 

Petty.

I think you're a little jealous. Or summat.

 

Jealous of what?

I don't know how to use 'Like' on this website but that was a really good read. Nice one. Apart from when you said 'My bad' - God I hate that expression.

I went to Griffin Park a few years ago when we lost 2-1, Bambi came on as a sub and scored late on.

I went with an Italian lady who was no football fan, and the only the other stadium she had ever been to in her life was the San Siro in Milan.
I remember her looking round, laughing and saying that it felt like she was watching her son play at school.

 

I agree. Cracking read. Like a good Clem

 

Anyone who uses the term ' my bad ' deserves a long and painfull death or a lesson from Ryan Kents linguist . Good report though.

 

One day I hope football looks back and realises that grounds like Griffin Park were special, unique and brought something extra to attending games that you don't get in other lesiure activities. The more generic' facilities' that are built on the end of a retail park three miles from the centre of towns, the more the away days at the likes of Brentford become ever more enjoyable. I missed yesterday but hope to go next season if possible. Give me Griffin Park, Ninian Park, Gay Meadow, Saltergate, Highfield Road, The Vetch etc over the new sponsored white elephants that have replaced the afore-mentioned grounds any day of the week. I do get the business case for moving most of the time and understand that the men that matter don't give two hoots about tradition, but we're losing so much richness and authenticity from the game at an alarming rate. I suppose younger fans and especially families will look at Kenilworth Road or indeed Griffin Park and think it's a dump, but for me I'd rather have that football ground feel than sit in an arena that could easily be a concert venue, hockey stadium or whatever else the latest sposorship deal allows for.

 

Missed that, Red Rain. I think your posts have a lot more depth than Tolkien's tomes. I remember saying to a mate what ***** it all was. Mate says "Our Tiffany's reading that [names changes to protect the innocent]. I tried to recover by saying "Yeah - but it's good *****!" [It's not though!]

 

Andy, was there any sign of Rick Wakeman? I believe he used to be a Brentford director.
