Dover (expletive deleted) Athletic - SaltergateBorn - 07-09-2018
(Bleep) me, Martin, that was a (bleep)in`good interview. (Bleep)in` brilliant, in fact. Gareth Crookes would `ave `ad a nervous (bleep)in` breakdown if `e`d bin confronted with those (bleep)in` replies.
You`re (bleep)in` right, a lot of the fans aren`t (bleep)in``appy at the moment. Not (bleep)in``appy at all. And they`ll be even less (bleep)in``appy if we don`t get a win this (bleep)in` week-end. Personally, I think we will - even though I`m coming up myself, which should (bleep) it up well and truly.
So - if you `appen to be in the (bleep)in` Lock Keeper some time after 1 o`clock on Saturday and see some wizened, white-haired and bearded old (bleep) slouched in a corner slurpin` `is John Smiffs or wottever and mutterin` to `isself about Danny (bleep)in` Whitaker, jus` leave `im alone, okay? E`s (bleep)in``armless, right. Not necessarily `appy, but certainly (bleep)in``armless.

To those of you who`ve chosen not to shell out 40 quid to subscribe to Spireites Digital and therefore have not had access to MA`s pre-Dover interview, this post will have absolutely no meaning whatsoever. Serves yer (bleep)in` right; (bleep)in` tight-fisted (bleep)`oles.

I think you'd have great trouble causing offence on here SGB and if you managed it we'd be pretty quick to tell you!
Even when managers try to embrace the ordinary supporter, and I'm sure MA genuinely tries, they rarely come close because their whole football experience and life experience is so different.
And somehow they think they can say things like ...... we did all the same things at Barnet last season and they were successful. And we're all thinking, Barnet had John Akinde up front who is now scoring for Lincoln who are top of League Two, who seems more of a handful than all our forward players put together. Add that to the different ways pros and amateurs see the game (cos pros are all trained the same way) and you've got a recipe for proliferating bleepin' bleeps once a team goes on a losing run and managers open their mouths.
Football people don't mean their words to be lip service. They are often genuine. But you have to get down to our level before you find many men in football who have actually done a proper day's work in their life. It's like Mrs May trying to understand how it feels to live a life in inescapable poverty - you could explain the concept of a food bank to her, but she'd never viscerally understand someone walking past one for days before they could swallow down their shame or pride and open the door to go in. It's life and unfortunately the delete button is all too permanent.
Can you cope with a 3-3 draw today? Watch Mitch Brundle, I've spent two years saying he's what we need. Unfortunately for them I think Dover are really missing Giancarlo Gallifuoco who left in the summer to play for Rieti in the Italian Third Division. At a club that cannot afford to carry a big squad he was invaluable. He seemed to be capable of slotting in anywhere across the defence and even seemed to put in the same level of performance when moved into midfield alongside Brundle. Home or away he always seemed to have put in a shift and their league position suggests they need more than George Smith to replace him. But you still do have to like a team that signs someone called Nortei Nortey.
Apparently Mitch Brundle chose this game to be fairly shit. He almost never goes below a 7 in Non-League Paper ratings, but he got a 5. I don't think I've seen him get a 5 before!
