I've been to Nailsworth a lot: they are ALL vegans, unless they come across a wild boar in the forest and then it's bacon sandwiches all round. Dale Vince is a hippy anyway and should be in The Young Ones. And of course it is true everyone in the Forest of Dean is everyone else's aunt or uncle and the requisite number of fingers and toes is indeed a matter for debate.
Person of colour only counts if you marry a member of the royal family .... or the Royle Family.
Everything happens to Maguire - he has to play left back because we have a 49 year-old centre back who is too big to drop. Maguire gets dropped when we lose. He gets brought into positions he's rarely played. He becomes sub and is brought on like wherever. He plays centre back, plays well and isn't selected next game because the guy alongside him scored an own goal or something. Just play him centre back and let him settle down to becoming our next transfer fee.
Oh and perlease don't start the stuff about he's not a left back. On Bobs whoever has played there since Dan Jones has not been a left back, as though it is a difficult position requiring some strange magical abilities. It IS the easiest position on the pitch. If you are just reasonably quick, and can avoid having a player like Jay O'Shea, who might go invisible for half the game, stationed in front of you and you are not actually physically afraid of tackling, it is a cinch. You've got so much space to go forward into and so much time to get everything under control it's easy. The most difficult thing is covering your centre back if he turns out to be a head case. If your winger is a bit quick, don't drop off him is all, give any idiot space and time to run at you and you'll be screwed ..... and anyone looks quick in those circumstances.
I must admit I did think a lot of the anti-Ricky-German comment on Bob's was racist. They seemed to think he should have been eternally grateful to have been given one first team start and a few minutes several times scattered in between spells broadening his bum on the bench. I'm torn between being so delighted he's having such success and sickened that he's scored eight and we've managed nine so far this season. If he scores in the Cup replay tomorrow he'll be on level terms .....
