Stayed local today and watched Woking v York quite a tense game as both in danger of being relegated from the conference. Standard of football shocking though but couldn't help but admire the passion from both sets of fans fair play like!
Finished 1-1 equaliser scored by Parkin bloody hell he is fat !
Went to see Forest Green v Maidstone.Quote:

As he is big framed lad , it can't be easy to keep lean and mobile.
Good luck to him for sticking at it and taking on the verbal ""fat boy "" stuff which we all dish out , I do admire his tenacity.
Reckon a right hook from the man would put most folk to sleep.
I was not ridiculing just stating a fact and did say he kept going for the full 90, there are many others particularly in the national league less agile and a lot less effective than Parkin.Quote:

really surprised he would keep going for 90 mins, as at Kev testimonial he looked knackered when he was playing hi stints, and thet game was a " knock around "
Still looked knackered ! but always on the end of an amazing long throw in fact the goal came from a long throw in from almost the half way line !Quote:

Live in Cheltenham. Pop along to games with local friends from time-to-time when City are away, one of whom is a FGR fan.Quote:
