I have spent the whole season warning everyone our keeper would let us down big time.
He was 100% responsible for one of Bromley's goals in the semi and we got away with that.
I am 70. Put me or any of the top amateur goalies around when I was playing and I'll guarantee we'd all have seen County's equaliser and thought we'd have stopped it for certain ....... and a good percentage of us could probably still manage it now.
To compound it he went into rabbit-in-the-headlights mode for the penalties. You could tell he wasn't going to save anything, movement was almost beyond him, we might as well have swapped for a traffic cone. And still Bostock tried to give us a chance with a Panenka, which he clearly confused with an Italian dessert.
We won the game 1-0 ...... except clearly an entire season isn't quite long enough for us to identify an obvious problem and we ended up trying to take penalties with our most likely scorers benched and exhausted.
As an extra delight the lovechild of Edward Scissorhands and Kate Bush whose diction had been removed got trapped on a sunbed and won Eurovision, whilst our sweet entrant, who has been writing songs since she was 8, clearly hadn't suffered enough parental abuse or violent disappointment in love, and warbled a weak little song about writing a song ............. And I suffered the disturbing sensation of finding Croatia's middle-aged lead singer bouncing about in his y-fronts vaguely attractive.
Do days get any worse?
