Blood, sweat and pyrotechnics...

On Saturday night about half the country flocked to the Domain to see the free fireworks display by Groupe F from France. It was very impressive from what we saw, which wasn't much seeing as no matter where we stood we were behind several kids on shoulders or tall chaps with bouffs (Dunc, you people have a lot to answer for).

On Sunday me and Rob headed over the bridge for Greenhithe's 2nd pre-season friendly. It was a fairly eventful match against much fitter opposition from the Saturday leagues. We were 1-0 and playing well when Rob went up for a header. He got half ball half opponent skull and earned himself a pretty spectacular cut. Off he went, shakily, straight to hospital for stitches...




The game ended 6-1 to the mighty Greenhithe. I got a couple of goals too, so it all bodes well for the new season. To be fair, pre season was always going to go well when we crossed the bridge for the first game last Tuesday and saw the Ghanaian flag flying proudly.

I think your plan of easing her (non-existant) worries of meeting everyone back home backfired slightly.

But at least it's given her a decent insight into what she's going to experience - plenty of late night hammered babbling conversations...I've missed all that.

Boz - the latics are back on form, hopefully at the right time. The Rovers are a mere flash in the pan.
