If the players impress they are hoping to get a transfer to the bloke with the concession on the beach, some of them reckon they can make the step up to play alongside 'Hercules', 'Princess and 'Dobin'.

I hope the Weston donkeys were given the day off today, with Rovers in town, for their own safety.

Gas 1-0 up at W-S-M. 

I guess they are raising their game, playing at such a relatively inspiring venue. 

Expect the tide will change in the second half in this one..

Let us hope it is not serious. A fully fit Korey is vital to our season in my opinion.

What's the weather like down there? It's been chucking it down up here in the Midlands.

Totally agree . He didn't have a pre season last year. And because of that we didn't start to see the real Korey smith until late in the season. Let's hope it's nothing serious

Talking of reading things into something that maybe nothing. On Snapchat it looks like Bobby is wearing number 10 whilst the likes of Magnusson and Brownhill etc are wearing their squad numbers from last year.

Why then is Tomlin not wearing his squad number ?

edit - may be wrong !! Had another look on this small screen and it might be Smith and might not be 10 !! What number was he last year ??

So just to confirm, a man who may or may not be Reid, may or may not be wearing the number 10?

Sometime a 'like' isn't enough and it requires further acknowledgment.

[WhistleHappy]

Expecting us to hit three in the second half...

However! I have it on fair authority that he looks slightly different to Tomlin. He's shorter for a start. And worth 5 million.

If they win tonight Dopey have said he will take them to the beach after the game and show them what real donkeys look like and what standard they could reach

This sounds crap!

Oh it is. It's absolutely awful to be honest. One chance really. Lots of backwards passing, bit scrappy. Hopefully 2nd half, with some changes will be much better. 

 

Edit = someone asked about the weather, been raining all game.

Is the game that dire or is it just the poor commentating, coupled with a monotone voice, that makes it sound like it?

[Bar BS3]

Yessssss! 

Oh, just a friendly. Sorry.

Sort of ruins it when it was our keeper that gave it away and then failed to save it.

If only we could play non league teams all season, Bobby would have a field day.
