The YP advert where he had a scratch on the table. "Hello, is that French Polishers?"
Did that guy go on to have a part in Sliding Doors?
Who remembers the advert where the preggers woman who was decorating ordered a tuna and banana pizza,and the kebab shop bloke was obviously bemused?
On the issue of needing a new centre-forward, I felt we went into the season a striker light. And with Burns in on loan and Johnson out injured that's still where we are. Only now none of our strikers offers any physical presence. Now I'm going to phrase this next sentence very carefully... I think that if Joe O'Neill were still at the club, he'd have started a lot of games this season.
He probably would.
And he would probably have scored very few goals, too.
He's doing OK now at his correct level: Blue Square North.
I'd agree with that. But the fact that a decent BSN striker would have got a lot of games for us this season in the BSP tells its own story. The ideal thing would have been to replace Joe with a better striker but failing that, rather than release him, I think we may have been better off keeping him.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It's just dreadful luck that Dale is out for the entire season. Even so, whilst Joe is probably a bit better than any of our remaining strikers at 'putting himself about', he's still not really what we're looking for. We need the big man who can make it stick. I wonder if Stockport, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale or some other local side have a big lump in their reserves who might be of use to us?

A choice of working or shopping today, thanks alty.......
Hughesy,
Alas, it might be a case of deja vu for you on Saturday, 28th November 2009, as our scheduled opponents at Moss Lane on that date, Kettering Town, will be playing in the FA Cup Second Round following their win at Hartlepool yesterday.
