The Dolman Pragmatist

Planet Earth … Duran Duran (bit of an obtuse connection there - think Jane Fonda…)

You were saying?…

Anyone know who the trialist up front for Forest Green is?

Yes, I thought Nigel Tassell’s ‘The Bottom Corner’ was a good read, especially about grassroots football. Since reading it I keep meaning to go and watch a match at Bishop Sutton FC, but haven’t yet managed it.

Pretty harrowing at times. Anyone who thinks Danny Wilson was a good manager should read it…

By John O’Farrell, surely?

Sympathy for the Devil … The Rolling Stones

I really enjoyed David Peace’s book about Bill Shankly ‘Red or Dead’, but it’s not for the faint hearted. I’d suggest having a look at it in a bookshop to check whether you think it’s for you, as it is a mind-boggling book, incredibly repetitive, but quite hypnotic if you can get into it. You’ve been warned!

Emigré … James Dean Bradfield

I know, I meant on Plymouth tv…

What time does stream start?

Lava … The B-52s

Forever Autumn … Justin Hayward

Coward of the County … Kenny Rogers

Do the Bartman … Bart Simpson

Yeah, got it in 3 5 6 8. That said, I’ve had 18 losses in 148 games…

Some truth in this. Footballers born in August are statistically least likely to succeed - recent article in the media about it. We’re very rigid about year limits in this country compared to other European countries…

Does anyone remember a pre-season match against the Gas at Twerton Park in ?1990 when Devon White had just been cautioned by police after an altercation with a neighbour outside his house, and the City end all sang the theme tune from Neighbours?…

Listen to the Radio (Atmospherics) … Tom Robinson

Tommy King Power Stadium?

The Colours … The Men They Couldn’t Hang

Massachusetts… The Bee Gees

Blind Among The Flowers … The Tourists

Matty Groves … Fairport Convention

Working in a Coal Mine … Lee Dorsey
