    It’s not easy being a live streamer,
    not easy at all,

    when hapless camera crews seem
    incapable of following the ball
    or wiping rain drops from the lens
    while we can see nothing at all
    or zoom so far from t […]

    In the Forties and Fifties footballers
    looked like the thousands who watched
    from the terraces. Short back and sides;
    and Billy had a quiff.

    In the Sixties and Seventies styles changed,
    players set […]

    The seagulls circling over Plainmoor
    are not bothered about the final score,
    don’t care we’re not in the Premiership,
    they’ve got their eye on a tasty chip.
    Three whistles signals the end of the match […]

    but half the pitch; the Warbro Road end.
    The old pop-side-terrace shed blocked
    my view of the r […]

    to avoid the ‘crowds’ at Plainmoor is a misnomer.

    going out to dine and not finishing your […]

    At the burger bar the cooks grill and fry
    while the Yellow Army queue to buy –
    chips with a beefburger, cheeseburger,
    double cheeseburger, belly buster,
    hot dog, or even a local pie.

    Perhaps the steak […]

    When the transfer window closed how did you do?

    Did you get a keeper with gloves like glue
    or a stopper with the kick of a tetchy emu?

    A wing-back whose clearances all miscue
    or an old head who knows […]
