owen

is BH attending tomorrow?

 

cant see Norman lasting 15 mins nt nt

 

RE: owen

both Brian Howard and Rob Atkinson are attending

 

Cheers

I'll see if I can arrange a bay sitter.

 

No unfortunately

Some FA rule says that I can't manage 10 minutes, but any old pot bellied 50 + bloke who's had 15 cans of Special Brew the night before, can... but that's enough about Gerry Taggart. (N) (casualty) (doh)
The bit that says I can enter the comp for my partner/ husband/ son really softens the blow.

 

He's allowed though

(doh)

 

Is Gerry playing for a club or has he retired? nt

 

RE: No unfortunately

Fiona
I agree that it is completely unfair, but until someonw takes them to court ala bosman nothing will ever change.

Why not try to manage the team and have fun ordering taggart about a bit!!!!

Owen

 

Don't worry

In all seriousness even if I could have played (am away that weekend) I probably would have been happier watching - it just makes me laugh that FA rules have ta apply for the 10 minutes of surreal football at the end of the game. I was just playing devils advocate - congratulations on sorting it all out though - looks like one not to be missed (unless you're on a hen weekend in Derbyshire trying to pass yourself off as a Footballers wife (fancy dress)). Believe me I'd have found playing at Oakwell easier!
