the ‘Bergerac Solves Combover Most Horrid’ head-in-hands league
So called due to the weekend birthdays of Sir John Nettles 71, Sir Bobby Charlton, 77 and Sir Dawn French 57. Two of these may not actually have been knighted…
(Further Apologies to Mr Smith as ‘Super’ Danny Maddix’s 47th didn’t make the cut….)
THE CATEGORIES
Dover Athletic 2-0 Chester. A thoroughly unrewarding 608-mile round trip by road for the handful of the fans who were rooting for the away team at ‘The Crabble’. Possibly they were the 9 in the total attendance figure of 1009.
The best we could find is Barnet’s Lee Cook, who’s been around many a London club but has Apollon Smyrni as his last port of call. And that’s Cyprus, which is not part of London. Maybe there’s a ‘Little Nicosia’ in there. (EDIT: There isn’t).
Nothing to see here. Move along, please…
No game in the top-flight leagues finished 0-0 (including Conference and Welsh Premier leagues!), I wonder what the odds on that are…?!
Nathaniel Knight-Percival at Shrewsbury and Matt Barnes-Homer at Dartford. The former’s nickname is ‘The Solicitors’
‘Doug Loft’s hit the roof’ – Barney
OR
‘Beautyman’s surely looking good for Welling’ – Jeff Stelling
John Akinde (Barnet) – YES! (Got one in the 3-3 draw with Kidderminster Harriers…obviously was skiving for the other 2 goals!)
Marc Richards (Northampton Town) – NO! (8 goals in 13 so far this season)
Matt Done {and you have been!} – (Rochdale) – NO! (8 from 14 games so far this season)
- Chris – called Barnet v Kidderminster Harriers on 43min at 3-0. Finished 3-3 (This could be said to be akin to the Reverse Churchill…)
- Howard called Port Vale v Yeovil Town, called on 47min at 3-0. Finished 4-1
- Barney called AFC Wimbledon v Bury on 54 at 3-1. Finished 3-2
IN SHORT: ALL FAILED!
