If Harris is not fired tomorrow morning then I know Scally wants Gillingham out of the Football League ,this is a joke,a sad F ' ing joke, but a joke anyway. NO WAY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS HARRIS UP TO THE JOB, GET HIM OUT NOW while we stand some sort of chance of staying up. The Gills don't get better, each week it is the same,there is no improvement, for Gods sake get someone in here that can save us from joining the FIFTH " TEAR " OF THE FOOTBALL PYRAMID.
I guess since I seem to be the only person on here that thinks Harris is about as useful as a shovel worth of horse dung, made me think and wonder if in the journey through space over the pond from the UK to me , means I get false info on how the Gills are doing. The table I get here in the Midwest shows that we have played 16 games,only won TWO , only scored SIX goals , against three times that many scored against us.
OK I get it now it's due to the times zones and ice being found on Mars were really 17 goals FOR and six AGAINST, that puts us where, in like 10th place in the table knocking on the promotion places door. Sorry Harris your doing a good job ,I was confused,I thought were were the other way around like one loss off of relegation , my bad.
Of course thinking about it who the hell would want the Gillingham job, maybe one of the many time wasters our beloved owner interviewed as potential part owners of the Gills. Still lets be serious a monkey in a bow tie and clown pants could not do a worse job than Harris.God help the Gills.
