An interesting few days – I am “officially” over Covid but feel worse than when I had it, Gillingham beat Tranmere Rovers to go second in the table and I have met some interesting new football friends. All in a ll a good week!

Let me introduce me to you the guys at The Dads’ Talk. Bobby Conway says, “We are four football fanatical UEFA Coaches, football Dads and all round Good Blokes who have created a YouTube channel that will be full of debate, discussion and banter on all levels of the beautiful game from elite to grassroots. We will have regular content but we are also including special guests. 

We have started the channel due to realising that grassroots football is what brought us together. We thought that as between us we have such a broad knowledge and passion for all aspects of the game and covering all levels, that it was something that would set us apart . 

We would love people to firstly see that we are genuine football lovers offering genuine opinion without any bias. The chemistry between us when talking football just flows naturally. Come over to our Facebook channel and subscribe free of charge to view all our future content.”
So, there we are. Nice to meet you Bobby and the Boys and I wish you every success with your YT channel The fact that you have forsaken the Mercenaries at Arsenal for your local heroes puts you very close to my heart!

A few minutes later Chris Buckley introduced himself to me. He is the man behind the fabulous PrideOfNottingham website that focuses on Notts County. Every week he asks opposing fans about their team and its Good, Bad and Ugly. Gillingham play at Meadow Lane this weekend as we look to take top spot. I shall spend this evening trying to write incisive and meaningful overview. Hopefully it won’t turn into a Bradley Dack eulogy but I have to say that I am excited seeing him back at the Priestfield. If he can keep fit (BIG “if”) he is probably worth a dozen points to us this season. That could be enough to move us from play-off contenders to automatic promotion. That is how important I think Dack could be.

Bradley speaks here about his new life at Gillingham.

If Chris chooses to publish my thoughts, I will add them here too. Fame at last! Taking about fame and stars, Darren Ashley was out blogging again this weekend. Catch up with him at Aylesbury United in sunny Bucks …but not Aylesbury!

Enjoy the week, everybody. I know it will be tough for many of us. Arsenal stealing all three points means I will worry if the sun will ever shine again but then I realise Brentford play Orient tomorrow and that FC Deportivo Galicia are at Uxbridge to play Langley on Wednesday and realise I have something to look forward to. The fact that AFC Wimbledon destroyed the Plastics at the weekend is a sign there is justice in the world and that Taylor Swift has come out fighting for Harris should guarantee some MAGATs follow Kamala.
