Left Pie-ning

Thanks to the suck ass job I have, I had to work Saturday, whilst Tony H and Crespo took off to Macclesfield to watch The Mighty Bantams play their first away game of the season. Wankers. To top it off, Peter Thone scored another brace, as the Silmen were downed 2-0. As for me, my first away game of the season looks like being the Darlingtongame on October the twentieth. Back to Saturday, the lads were good enough to do some ratings for me. As you would expect from a team that only attained league status eleven years ago, after being founded in 1874, the ground is about as garden shed as you can get. Crespos photos illustrate this beatifully. But all is not lost. The pies. Tony tucked into a steak and kidney, and it got an excellent 8/10. Very tasty was the prognosis, and we have a serious contender in our search for pie-topia, the best savoury pastry to be found at a footie stadium. On to the performance of the mighty Baz Conlon, our testosterone fuelled target man. As I feared in my report on the opening game of the season,Baz might find himself slipping down the pecking order, and it has come to pass. An unimpressive showing against the Terriers in mid-week (Crespos words not mine), saw him confined to the bench, as Boulding got the start. According to Crespo, with the game won, Baz was warming up to come on for the final ten or so minutes, when he took a swan dive, no one else was in the immediate vicinity, and injured himself. Oh dear. It earns our stubbled hero a massive -1/10, for being a noodle. This weekend we take on the Dale, a tough game that should indicate just how good we are. There is also a buzz that an unexpected Squad member could be granted parole to attend. Promises to be a good one.
