Scouting Mission

And having said this morning that an experienced keeper like Ward or Williams could fill a short term gap,I've just looked at the squads for tonights Masters Football final which I'm about to head off for with my Dad and my lad, and guess who's in goal for Leicester? Mr Ward himself!

I'll send a full report to Deano in the morning!

No Saunders, No Fun!

With the play-off push in tatters, the most annoying thing about being without Dean Saunders this week is that I got tickets for my lad, my Dad and I to watch the masters footy in Liverpool tomorrow night, but our glorious leader won't be there to stick a few in for Wales!

My lad loves watching the masters on Sky, so he's still really up for it, but having Deano would have been the icing on the cake. Still, I suppose Ian Rush might get a game now though!

Memories Expunged!

Well I feel I've enjoyed a bit of a catharsis! Dearden's Spurs went into their last game with Watford needing a draw to get into the final, led 3-0, but lost 4-3! Dearden should have been sent off at the end for coming out of the box to save, but I've had my bit of schadenfreude, so I'm happy! Karma has been restored after ten years of hurt!

Painful memories!

What a way to start the day! I switch on the TV and Sky are repeating last year's Masters tournaments. Okay, no problem; my lad and I enjoy watching the old codgers (some of whom are older than me! sweating it out.

But then Spurs come on and who's in goal for them? KEVIN DEARDEN!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

That guy scarred me! I was a dodgy, short fat keeper, and it was always a shock to watch him and see a professional goalie pull the sneaky, unnoticed tricks I'd pull to try and avoid having to come for crosses, deliberately getting myself into a poor position so I couldn't attack it.

He made Brian Carey look like he was finished, because he made mistakes defending balls that the keeper should have come for, and once Dearden left and we had a proper goalie in Andy Dibble Carey got a new lease of life!

He hasn't let one in yet, not that he's had much to do! But he's already done enough damage this morning!
