End of the line for Platini at UEFA in my book. This was really the time to nail Blatter and whilst I don't expect Blatter to see out 2015, if he couldn't get him now I don't have any confidence in a UEFA-led Platini with a motion of no confidence. To be justifiable with that I think it has to be UEFA with a new leader.
They also need to be far more savvy in their opposition and not allow this farcical Ginola/Figo circus. All this then does seem a witch hunt for Blatter. That may be what it is, but it doesn't present or portray well.
With any sense before they table their vote they will find a high profile and extremely presentable Latin American or African from another sporting federation (or possibly even ex pro) to challenge Blatter and immediately back him to the hilt.
Now is also the time to exert the pressure of having such football treasures like the Champions League (ahem Europa League : /) and European Championships as your assets; the Premier League, FA Cup. You find those federations where we are not winning votes and you find your way in. The example is immediate because of proximity, but say Malaysia voted in favour of Blatter. You find your connections who can exert serious political pressure in Malaysia - ring ring, Cardiff City how can I help? Vincent Tan please - and you get them supporting your cause on the ground.
Blatter can do this because he is extremely savvy and a political master. UEFA need someone to outwit him and that clearly ain't Platinj.
What do you expect Platini (or for that matter his replacement) to actually do?

I see the route is going through Lawrence Hill. Have rovers plenty of Somalian fans then?
....Taking in Days Rd tip no doubt.

Not quite. A few doors away from me lives a Grimsby fan. We might yet share a joint promotion party.
Sounds like one of Aden Flints parties.

Dover are a bunch of ferries.
Where as the gas are a bunch of fives?

He has Subbuteo in his office apparently to show his players what he is talking about but I can't help thinking that he was NTTDS all along!!!
Yes, apparently LJ gets his kit on and plays in the team on the subbuteo pitch to demonstrate what he wants to be done.

I thought Gillingham looked much better than in previous matches. One of those days I spose. Earned a point and I guess it reminded the lads that it's not on a plate for them. Yet.
I love this team. I love this season.
Yep Gills defended well. They didn't do anything else. I believe they decided they couldn't bare to lose 5 times to us in 1 season and played accordingly. The second half in particular was the most one sided affair I've seen all season!

I thought the majority of the players looked jaded today, and they also looked weary as a team.
Agreed. I thought the same on tuesday against Vale. Hopefully, a lot of other teams will be feeling it as well. Unfortunately they'll want to raise their game as we're the league leaders.

No need for apologies Rr.

We are level on Points and games played at the moment.
No, we have a game in hand.

Yeah. Remember Phil Tottle? Describing Robbie Turner......"He smashed a lob into the bottom corner".....Smashed a lob eh Phil?
Yep, bring back the bumbling Full Throttle, so much better than screamer Hoskins, who seems much happier commentating on the gas.

We do seem to be more leaky now than we were earlier in the season though.
This should help. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=incontinence+products&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=ivnsp&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=UtBHVOeKOsrg7QaCkoBg&ved=0CBIQsxg

How would he achieve that, baring in mind that Blatter has just basically had a vote of confidence
