Jimmy Giles.

[old and grey]

I missed my first home game for 11 years yesterday.Listened instead to Jimmy Giles.Jimmy, bless him, decided that it was a great game because people kept kicking each other off the ball,referee made rubbish decisions throughout the game,and Stansfield nearly got a hat trick,but the game was very exciting and high class.
Was it?

It was if you played it in 1972

It had a bit of edge on the pitch which I like from a game of football.

A battling 3 points.

Was it?

Exciting yes, class no.

It was exciting for the wrong reasons.

Luckily Jimmy and Dave Saunders chattered a lot, mostly about the game, to cover for the almost total silence! You would have thought the game was being played behind closed doors!

Incidently, not the castigation for the referee and linesman from them as there is on here. Usually, Jimmys the first to yell and bawl if he thinks the refs dropped a clanger too!

EDIT: From the commentary, Stansfield was man of the match by a country mile, with Jonah a close second.

Wrong reasons? It was an electric ending to the game wondering whether we'd get a second to make it safe or they'd get an equaliser. Right up to the whistle either were as likely to happen.

I don't think that that's exciting for the wrong reasons.

I am a miserable fecker and spent the last 20 minutes or so waiting for them to equalise rather than for us to get a second.

Therefore exciting for the right reasons: football.

How does that work then?

I thought it was very exciting. Proper League football!
