Bath City 1, Forest Green Rovers 2

It was a game of two halves and we had a mountain to climb but the boys done well and give it 110 per cent. It's a funny old game though and everyone is as sick as a parrot.

Be not misled

My last post concerned the subject of football - or, for readers in the USA, soccer. I am indisputably male and therefore, by definition, have usually-dormant Neanderthal tendencies, but my enjoyment of watching football (rugby, baseball etc.) should not be taken as an indication that I have an IQ below room temperature.

As they would say in Croydon, I is well brainy, innit.

Tears on Merseyside

So, the mighty Liverpool FC have failed again.

Oh, how we all weep. Not. Much more of this and they may have to start learning some humility, however unlikely that may seem. I'm so old that I remember when they used to win championships.

Meanwhile, we are now within 100 hours of the ultimate footballing machine, Bath City FC, taking on the upstart Forest Green Rovers for the prize of a place in the draw for the Third Round of the FA Cup. Come on, you stripes!
