[ 3 May 15 ] Gillingham v Notts County - Match Thread

[gillsfan1066]

See that's where we differ, your happy to survive in Division One playing Port Vale and Colchester year after year, going down a division then having to climb back up again, celebrating PROMOTION, what a great club we are, back in the mighty First Division, where we wallow in mediocrity for a few years before going back down again.
The Fans need a dose of realism, WE HAVE HAD YOUR ******* DOSE of REALISM FOR A HUNDRED *******YEARS , JEEZZZ HOW LONG DOES THIS MEDICINE TAKE TO WORK.
I am sorry Mr Garawadeboomseyadee, but you have drunk to much of Scallys cool-aid, he is "Mr. I am just happy to be here," and your becoming the same, and yes I supported that guy to the ends of the earth for saving GFC when he did, but that was back in 1995, twenty years ago and from what I can see he has done nothing in the past 10 years since we were relegated from the Championship that has improved GFC in any way shape or form other than make the club the laughing stock of the league and found a way to hide everything that goes on inside of Pretfield, creeping round like a thief in the night,no one must know anything.
For fifty years I have watched them do NOTHING ,EXCEPT FOR ONE WONDERFUL FOUR YEAR SPELL, oh yeah and and win two Fourth Division trophy's ,excuse me if I don't stand up and light a cigar or open a bottle of champers for that.
I know the ride Blackpool has had over the last 15 years, has not been that great, financial worry's, more managers than God has Saints, but like Wigan at least they got to play in the Premier, in 2000 they were in the Fourth Division, and yes today there coming back into our division but how can you say GFC is any better position than Blackpool or Wigan , and at least they have BEEN THERE, we never ever even came close .
Blackpools population is a 140,000 , Medways 260,000, and like us they have a bunch of teams 45 minutes away, but the people of Kent don't support football like the rest of the country, bah rubbish, the dam team is not being promoted properly,were still in the dark ages , might as well have Dr Grossmark back in charge.
As for building for the future , when the hell does the building stop and we get to live in the dam house ?? This time next year when we just miss making it into the Championship Division, and teams come and snap up Dack , Marquise, and Cody what do we do, start rebuilding again ??
The only title worth winning is this years title, no one has a clue what's going to happen next year or the year after. Look at Hull cruising along nicely, bunch of injuries ,now on the verge of relegation, you never know whats going to happen next year.
The money Scally and his family spend flying backwards and forwards to Dubai each year would pay for a good player or two, but anyway I have to go, Stevie Bruce needs my support to help him stay up, there down 0-2 already ,opps make that 0-3, lol.

The key issue is that each time a major change occurs the rebuilding starts. You push the reset button, some are bigger than others. After Allen we had MAJOR changes and just staying in League 1 was a massive achievement. The Edinburgh change was a much smaller one.

I never stated that I am happy to stay in this division more needing to build for the future as we don't have the same ability as others. I could be in a room full of sprinters all wanting to beat Usain Bolt but it isn't going to happen. Train hard every day, build and build and build and hope he has an off-day and you never know. Like all sports there are always much bigger and better rivals and the only way you can beat them is by doing what you do to 100% as it's better to be a mediocre competitor at 100% as opposed to a great one at 60%. Just ask Tiger Woods!

[Rimshot]

Yes, ambition for better things is an entirely unreasonable expectation of Sheik Scally. Just ask Bournemouth and Watford. Or those dreadful people at Mk Dons , great new stadium and Championship football in 11 years.

Are we talking about the same Tiger Woods who is worth around a billion dollars, who has won like 14 Majors, 72 PGA events, 40 European events and a handful of other events world wide and about 20 amateur titles , THAT TIGER WOODS ??
I am like you, I normally use Tiger and GFC in the same sentence when talking about Gillingham footie, they go together so obviously don't they ??
In ten years half the athletes running would beat Bolt if they were running backwards if he were still racing, ( and by the way I couldn't work out why you were comparing SPINSTERS with Bolt, need new glasses, haha ) GFC can re load every year, but they don't because they have an owner who is happy just to tell anyone who will listen that he is someone special, he owns a football team in England.
I bet he follows that comment with, Were going places next year, next year is our year, new stadium, new manager ,new players , you should invest in my company, got a couple of million in your back pocket, then turns to his wife and says does that sound convincing darling, she giggles , eats another sheep's eye ball and he tucks into his camel hump all happy and proud of himself ?
