Will this be the game where we score our first goal of the season? I hope so! It is a winnable game,and defensively we have been good.With Wilkinson suspended you would hope Nash will partner Eaves.

A "whine" able game, hahaha, this lot wouldn't know what that was if it got up and kicked them in the ass. 2-1 to the team with the stupid name and another nail in Pillocks coffin.................................................God I hope I am wrong.

Awful. Truly awful. Thank the Lord I escaped Medway and don't get suckered into watching this crap more often.
We have no-one remotely creative and a so called striker who spends more time on his arse than a chronic dysentery sufferer.
Holy did well to save the penalty, unfortunately it was his fault we gave it away.
It's going to be a long season.

Interesting the comments on Holy as the general consensus on the radio was that Holy got a hand to the ball. In fact both penalties were a bit dubious according them but a more clearer one than either was denied after Max Ehmer was fouled in the box.

I only saw the result as I was at Herne Bay Air Show.Disappointing that we have lost,and also not scored again.Wright`s penalty was a shocker from the highlights,and Holy did well to save their penalty.Both penalties looked soft from the highlights.Surely our first goal will come next week?!

Shirley, don't call me Shirley, of course our first goal will come against SARF END in a Gillingham loss to the Mud Flat Boys. Well done HOLY,HOLY,HOLY,Lord God Almighty,you saved a penalty. OK, me and a team of experts have put together a PLAN B.
OK plan B....... You now don a number nine shirt, you stand on the half way line and every time Gillingham get the ball you run towards the other teams goal, and you stand on the penalty spot, and all the Gills players kick the football at your head, jeezzzz your almost SEVEN FEET TALL,YOU DON'T MOVE OK,you just stand there ,and I am pretty sure at least one or two of the crosses will slap you upside the head and bounce into the goal, Gillingham 1 the bad guys zip, GO GILLS.
