Last night I supported, live on stage to a packed house, my all time icon poet and John Cooper Clarke right here in Stroud..still matchstick thin like a Lowry figure with that Robert Smith early Dylan hairstyle, he kindly allowed me to totally pinch and change his classic haiku for the sake of our football-less country..later we had a great time talking about the good old days when we used to get peed on and soaking wet on the uncovered terraces..often in fear of our lives at games..them were t’ days..when real men and real fans worked down pits, and players never got to train with a ball and players wore the shirt with pride for people in tweed suits like Sir Alf ..allegedly..
to convey one’s mood
in seventeen syllables
is very diffic

‘Get stuck in’ … the same managerial advice we were offered as 3rd Tolworth Cubs, back in the day. And at half-time, the same refrain, slightly amended: ‘The trouble is, you’re not getting stuck in enough …’
Thanks very much Sharon. Appreciate you taking time to peruse n enthuse. Hmm…are you perchance, the former poet known as PMG? Stay safe, come what may, and have a good day. Kev.
I am interested in the tale about The
Boot Room and Shankley
Hi Sharon
Please see my private message re arecent use of one of your poems from Manchester cheers C
Hi Daniel,
Good to see you are still writing about the ‘Tic. Hope all is good with you.
Best, Sharon
So true mate.
You’re certainly not alone in your thinking. I get incensed sometimes.
Aside from the endless and stillwith its -here once labelled Fergie Time moments ,we now have VAR with its far off decisions by supposed ‘neutrals’ .
So …the supposed influenced ‘integrity’ of refs and neutrals favouritism ?
You could tuck it away into some corner and call it yet another football conspiracy theory, (like analyzing and searching to find which teams refs follow and VAR assistant refs (if we knew ) but it still occurs too often for me.
It raises the question is there such a thing a a real neutral. Everyone who watches football definitely supports or has a soft spot for some club however tenuous..
BTW When I was 10 and the Munich Air Crash happened. i (and many at my school in Fulham) was a Chesea fan but took United on as my second lcub for a season through that awfdul time. Now FGR are my life and my team in the next village and i drum (when we get back) on the terrace at 72 with the young kids and scoff vegan pies and get bwind Dale’s green vision for the planet …
Go well Attila and stry safe with your good lady….
Best Crispin
nice one sorting a pic to go with..off to a trial run with several hundfred masked fans v Bradgford at FGR tomorrow
