I stood by the dugout for the Newton Abbot PSF, and Buckle was clearly encouraging the full backs to press up BUT stressing that when one pushed right on the other had to stay back.  You see why some managers (not ours any longer) opt to keep to a rigid 4-4-2.....................because it means no-one has to think - and less thinking means less mistakes!  |

The atmosphere, as has been said, was electric. There was a bald headed chap at the front who kept screaming: "Roberts, you're sh*t!" After about 2 minutes, Roberts made an exceptional save from Carlisle and I had a feeling the Gulls fan's sentiments were going to be shoved right back down his throat. Alas, Carlisle got a very similar chance a minute later and this time he found the back of the net. Note to the bald headed chap: screaming "You're sh*t!" at the goalkeeper every 30 seconds get very old, very quickly. Luckily, he was saved by some far wittier fans towards the back of the stand. And thankfully, the players on the field gave us plenty to sing about. Was he the same guy who kept shouting cheating Basthard every time Woodhouse came into the half in front of us?? Did you also see Woodhouse give the finger to us behind the goal at one of our corners, so obviously he could hear the abuse he got. It didn't inspire him much though because i didn't think he was involved in the game at all. |

Does he not have a croc jacket in his wardrobe.

Fashion Statement: Whilst a trilby has an upturned brim at the back, a fedora's brim is either level or turned down for the whole of the circumference. A Pork Pie however, has a flat top (and had I worn one at a football ground, probably gravy dripping down it and with a bite taken out of it judging by some of the shite I saw being eaten around me!  Whatever, your example looks like something off a Paignton Pier stall minus the "Kiss Me Quick" ribbon, and the "model" appears to be a member of the clergy with that dog collar.  I'm surprised that such observation is forthcoming from one who has been known to sport a "Tommy Cooper" resplendant with tassle on the terraces of England one week followed by a caste off from the Red Army the next (or was it a "syrup")  ...........................what next - a Sherlock Holmes Smoking Jacket? Right, having got that sorted; I'm off to pickup John McCririck!
