That saddened me on here when someone mentioned they met nicky morgan, and he has never been asked back once.

I find that shocking.

Might have been me. He was working as a taxi driver and gave me a lift home from Lulsgate in 2015. Top man, happy to chat about his time at the Gate and how much he enjoyed it. But he did say he’d never been invited back despite living up in Redland since leaving us. 
 

As @GrahamCpoints out, he scored some vital goals for us and did a great job - think we might have signed him for £30k? Which was great business, particularly with God pulling up lame against Crewe in 89/90 and Morgan stepping in.

Don’t ever recall Akinfenwa, but do remember Jermaine Easter & Michael Mifsud being told to eff off by GJ because they didn’t seem to be joining for the right reasons.

Been commented on numerous times but we have much to do to improve our scouting & recruitment set up.

Jermaine Easter! A player so good that he ended up at the Gas!

Have to say I love the Derby celebration after they beat Leeds away in the play offs to get to Wembley - “stop crying Frank Lampard!”

Thought he did a decent job bringing through the youth at Chelsea but your only ever a bad run away from the sack there. Will be interesting to see how he gets on at Everton - a club in disarray and only headed one way at the moment. A massive task awaits.

To quote John.

He could have scored 10 own goals and he still would have been clapped off after what he did the previous year.

We wont see another botham performance of 82.

Or 81 either!

Shaun Goater for me. 

Gregory Goodridge for me! 

If this doesn’t go through I guess it’s Klose but no cigar

Sinclair, Newman, Shelton, Gavin, Taylor

No room for Henry McKop or Jehad Muntasser?

Ah good old Henry, the Scottish Liverpool fan

Clemens Zwinenberg (sp) and Vilmos Sebok at centre half with Gustav Engvall partnering Peter Styvar up top.  Neil Kilkenny providing the regular assists.

Been watching some of the darts gold and watching back at the crowds at Circus Tavern etc, completely different.   2/3rds of the crowds now are drunken knobheads who aren’t even watching the game. 

Look at them in the background while Smith being interviewed - bottles being launched left right and centre. It’s like he’s being interviewed in front of S82!

circus tavern atmosphere completely different. But it’s all about the money nowadays

Get in there Michael Smith!

What a game.  Something needs to be done about the crowds tho. Enough is enough. 

Agreed. It’s not a darts crowd

Part is having a mare on comms. And with Mardle constantly getting his words wrong earlier it’s not good!

Get Webster in there 

Price wins this game, he wins the tournament. 
 

Also, the crowd are a disgrace.

Just twigged Andy King`s back

Why did you do that? Can’t afford for him to be injured again

Not heard the chant either but I can’t believe fans would choose that as a topic to sing about.  Disgusting.

Well done on those fans above for calling it out and apologising to YTFC.

Great day that was, certainly shut the inbreds up! It was on a Sunday IIRC?

Here we go - 

what a ball through from God. Great slot from Junior as well. 
 

As has been mentioned previously, great signing for £30,000. His crossing wasn’t always great and I’m pretty sure that generally, 1 on 1’s weren’t his strength. But if they were, he’d have been playing at a higher level and not for us!

Re. ‘Lovely bloke’, I remember an interview he gave shortly after joining (it may even have been his first game, I can’t remember as it was so long ago) following a match against Rovers or Swindon (can’t remember) when he either made or scored (can’t remember) the winner after a typical fast run.

Whilst I have obviously forgotten the finer details of the match itself, , I can well remember how natural, warm and friendly he seemed and how he spoke with a very strong Yorkshire accent.

Junior scored the winner in a 1-0 win up at Swindon in our, I think, 2nd game back in the old Division Two.  Bob Taylor drilled a 60 yard pass to him after their corner was cleared and Bent ran through and slotted it past the keeper.

30 years ago and I remember it clear as day…..as I’ve got it on VHS!

Love how many left backs we had around that time who’s surname began with B. Bailey in 89/90 and Bromage before that. Not sure who was before that - possibly Wryan Billiams?

A show pony who rarely puts on a show!

So he’s pony. Sounds about right!

Maybe a loan to Sunderland in Jan to be reunited with LJ. 
 

Or to MAITFC to be reunited with The Ego. 

Wonder how many pages this will get to once Plan C is announced!

 

He's not going to say much about it though is he. I'd be amazed if we got much more than "It was a difficult period. I'd like to have been given more time. Wish them well for the rest of the season, after Wednesday night obviously." (A "Ha, ha. Tweet your questions for Dean on twitter.." from Geoff Twentyman, who still hasn't realised the redundancy of the latter part of his tweeting instructions...)

Presumably any settlement agreement (assuming there was one! after his sacking would prevent him revealing too much?

Just take some black paint with you and paint over the lines before parking there. Job done. Updated version of just moving the cones and sticking them in your boot.

Is it my memory, or weren't Elokobi, Velicka and Vokes all injured during their first game with us, and in consecutive seasons?

Each season we had an exciting, rated loan. Each season they were crocked in minutes.

Elokobu's was the most memorable, but wasn't it either Vokes or Velicka who departed after about 10 minutes on the pitch?

I think Velicka came on as sub, went up for a header in his first action on the pitch, landed and did his ACL, never to be seen in our colours again. 
 

Think Christian Ribeiro did his ACL on debut as well, although he wasn’t on loan and returned to make a few appearances for us.
