The way we are playing you can chuck all that hocus pocus out the window, Gillingham had better pull their fingers out this week or else before the first month is over were going to be in deep s**t.

Somebody tell me again how good Holy is in the air. There have to be some positives, in this case three of them and it's a shame we didn't get points to match. We ar a poor side, however, no getting away from it.

I watched the highlights of the game maybe 5 times yesterday, how does a forward out jump a 7 foot keeper to score with his head when there standing two feet apart ? As far as the penalty goes the game should have been stopped seconds before the foul that gave the penalty when the Gillingham player had his foot waist high with all the studs showing, in most cases it would have been a yellow but we got away with being given a penalty, with which we scored after the keeper saved a weak attempt.
Wheres Justin Edinburgh when you need him ?

I followed the game on Twitter,and feared the worst after we conceded.I'm pleased we have finally got off the mark in goal scoring terms.An Eaves hat-trick will do wonders for his confidence! We have struggled for goals of late,but the day we scored a few we stop being hard to score past.Hopefully that first win is not far away.The attendance is a real worry with just 4,300 Gills fans there.

Why would anyone want to go and watch a team that after three weeks of the season is in the drop zone,it's not like in the last hundred years we have ever done anything except for a very very brief spell in the Championship Division,so why would anyone think this season is going to be any different from any other ?
I swear I love GFC but if I lived in Gillingham NOW I honestly don't think I would go on a Saturday afternoon in the summer to watch this shit, I would play golf, have a BBQ, go to the seaside, take the kids to Bedgebury Park, I sure as hell would not give Scally $20 ++ of my money to watch this crap that Pillock is putting on the pitch, I would rather go to Penenden Health and watch some locals play bowls , and thats the God's truth.

Proof of the pudding..., after 14 season ticket years and several before that attending many games, I haven't been to a game yet this season and I'm afraid to say I haven't missed it at all. I didn't even realise that we were playing last night until I saw the result on twitter. Does that make me a bad supporter? Maybe, but I know I was bored last year more than I was excited and for the moment, I will use my Saturdays for other things. I'm sure I'll come back to it, but as I don't know many of the players and I'm not sure how much they really care about GFC, I'm taking a break.
