Fortune, Bantams, Lions, Gills and Cod

Catch up time. The Bantams, after what was yet another snore fest, came up trumps in the dying seconds to beat the Gills 1-0. I would at this point love to illustrate with words the winning goal, but Crespo dragged us out of the ground early, and we were just leaving the Carlsberg stand when it went in. Nice one Kev. The first half was as dull as dish water, but then second started out promisingly. Some nice passing and movement still made no head way against a dire Gillingham side, and a strange substitution by Taylor seemed to take the wind out of the Claret and Amber sails, We left as the game looked to be winding down to an inevitable draw, but it was nice Williams scored, as it was agreed between myself, Crespo and The Apostles, that he had been the stand out performer of the day. As for the pies. Still boycotting. Tried a packet of McCoys Grilled Steak crisps, which were good (as crisps go) but cost a staggering £1. I checked at the local shop, and there they are priced at 60p. Pants down indeed.



Kev Watch- A bit whiny if I am honest, but considering the standard of play understandable. Like City started off well in the second period, but there was to be no winner from the lanky pretty boy, as he made us miss the game winner. 4/10

Next up, we cross the North Sea, into Deutcshland, were der Lowen were the guests of Fortuna Dusseldorf, a fixture we attended last season. In April, the home side were good value for their 2-0 win, and to be honest, I expected a similar result this time around. So imagine my surprise, as the boys in blue pulled off a 2-1 victory. A goal down at the break, goals from Rackic and Buck sealed an impressive win for the Lions. Tomorrow night they have a chance to go sixth, as they are hosting FC Erzgebirge Aue, who are two points ahead of them.

And the cod. It is short for Call Of Duty, which ambushed all my good intentions for posting last night, as I got on a rare run of victories. Which doesn't happen often, as I am made mince neat of by a bunch of dole dossers and ten year olds.
