Surely (don't call me Shirley) a win against Bury MUST give The Space Telescope the Managers job at Gillingham, if it doesn't then I think it's time that Scally comes forward and tells the fans whats going on. Could it be he has a buyer for GFC who would want to bring in there own manager, or has he got the attitude of hey, Third Division, Fourth Division who cares ,it's not like we have not been there before,it's where we have lived for ever ?

A big game down the bottom today.A win could put us out of the bottom 4.We have been in good form,but our last match against a side in the bottom four with us we lost.We need to take our chances when on top.If we win I would be shocked if Lovell is not named permanent manager next week.I will be at the game today at a wet Priestfield,so hopefully I can see a win.

No rain at Gillingham today is there , looks like a pretty good day to go to a game ,50 degrees and a GILLS WIN.
Plym'th at Bra'd City, (a loss) The Wombles at Petbrgh,(at best a draw) Nthptn at Oxford ( another draw at best) and Rochd'e not plying, this is our chance to put 3 points in our pockets and actually get out of the red zone. I hope our shots today are in double figures and we win 3-1 , it will make for a great weekend especially without any "real soccer" on the TV.
Remembrance Day today, yesterday we played Germany at football, today we play Argentina at Rugby , coincidence ?

Half Time, time for a team talk, I've got it MISTER MANAGER wanna be.
Men, I don't know what the hell you think your doing out there ,but what ever it is your doing YOUR NOT DOING IT VERY F' ING WELL , UNLESS OF COURSE YOUR TRYING TO LET THESE BUMS BEAT YOU,in which case your doing it really well.
It's a simple game, you KICK the ball, YOU HEAD the ball AND YOU SCORE F'ING GOALS, and if you don't want to do that for GFC, come and see me before you go out for the second half, and I will get you a CAB home where you can stay for the rest of the F'ing season. Thank you.
Over you to Mr.I wanna be the Gills manager.

PPHHHHEEEEWWWWWWW COME ON YOU GILLS , lets finish them off.

[gillsfan1066]

TWO points Dropped, Nthptn win, bloody Plymouth win,were still in the red zone and now and the wombles have played one less than us, this team, or is it this acting manager just don't seem good enough to keep GFC in the 3rd division, now I am starting to think this is becoming a serious situation, away to a well rested Walsall next week, gulp.

There is so little that can be said in a positive way. Holy beaten from range again, our back line an utter shambles , our owner can't even be bothered to find a proper manager. Have to confess I really don't care that much any more.

[gillsfan1066]

Yeah think I know what you mean, if I wasn't 4,000 miles away with no one to talk to about GFC , I have a feeling I would feel exactly the same way.
No real soccer on the TV today, 30 degrees and snowing so no golf, lol, thought we would have been celebrating a win today a loss next week and a win by others could see us sitting at the bottom of the crapper, dam shame,dam shame.

A game of two halves really.Bury had the better of the first and probably should have gone in 2-0 up.They then in the second half hit the post,and Holy tipped a powerful Ajose shot over the bar.We had more chances in the second half,and our goal in the 85th minute had been coming.Parker with another header.With five minutes to go it`s a good point,but again we didn`t beat a side in the bottom four with us.FOM made a good point,that we probably need to win 2-3 on the bounce to get ourselves out of danger.
