Saturday and start of the new football season, Oldham at home. 2-2 and not languishing at the foot of the table..yet. As the first (and last) home game should be. Shirtsleeves and green grass. What is it with refs? Yes we are one eyed the lot of us when it comes to decisions. But how can you miss two blatant handballs and two getting inside the striker's shirt in 3 minutes? Old boy Big (and I mean big) George Elokobi came on in the 2nd half for Oldham to really warm applause all around the ground. The boy is still a unit. Tank or dench I believe are the yoot speak terms. His party piece used to be the overhead kick clearance from the edge of the box...
Some more nostalgia on the way down. This is Abberton reservoir, once the place to go for winter piking. One rod stuck in the crack of the concrete, hoping to get on the culvert. it's been massively increased in size and the main dam walls are much higher and steeper. No fishing now which is a sad loss.
Had a look at Layer Pit too. Probably the first ever match carp bagging water for a while. Huge home made wagglers holding a 2 oz bomb and floating maggots. Seems a little smaller now.
Boro play Oldham tonight and the local paper had a picture of Elokobi in a Wolves shirt. he is built like like a concrete blockhouse.
ReplyDeleteBoro's old home, Ayresome Park, is a housing Estate too and the Riverside soul less too.
The drains are unfishable at the moment with all the pumping, they're running faster than the Hampshire Avon. more news to follow when I've straightened Google and the blog out. It publishes things it's not meant too and generally plays up. Maybe it's using it first thing in the morning?
All the best,
John

DeleteBig George made it to the Prem with Wolves, perhaps not for his silky skills. A lion heart of a man who marshalls the back 4 tirelesly. He couldn't touch Lua Lua our golden boy (he of the impressive celebration and later Newcastle) but to overuse that tired old standard he is a Col. U legend, and I am sure genuinely liked where ever he plays.
we've got Charlton tonight and a bye to the 2nd round of the Johnsons Paint trophy so not "concentrating on the eague for a little while yet..
Bure hardly trififled by the biblical downpours a la Bertha.
I try and reply/comment once signed into Blogger, not from Google+ which I only use to run Snapseed to upset the local photo police.
That's way to technical for me BB, no wonder I can't get comments to work… Boro won again. I must do the lottery tomorrow for the first time ever. Two straight wins? Unheard of.

used to fish layer about 15 years ago it was hardcore carp,had a huge head of twenties and a few thirties, i also had some cracking roach to 2lb and bream to 11lb,bit of a funny lot though,used to be pistols at dawn to get the best swims,not my cuppa tea.
ReplyDeleteHad a fish kill recently but still seemed rammo to me.
DeleteWhittler, you'll have to come along when Bainsy Boy makes his annual trip down to our secret pike water. We don't always catch but we always talk alot of shite. You'll fit in perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI always catch Wak.. apart from eel day then my rod broke anyway.I do talk shite though
Deleteit would be an honour to talk shite with the best.
