It's all in the timing.....

Gordon. Gordon. Gordon.

Perhaps you are just a bit late with your demand for a review of all Government data handling systems.

How many years was it that you were the man in charge?

Now I would indeed have called you a visionary, if you had come to the conclusion that our personal data was at risk, and things must be improved, in 1997 when you took over at the Treasury.

And just a little observation…..you may regret saying ’I apologise for the inconvenience….’

Moving the Grays Athletic game to a Thursday night to satisfy Setanta would not have gained my approval…. but then who cares about the long distance supporter.

I dislike the influence that television has over football. Call me old fashioned , but a Saturday 3pm kick off is just about right, with the occasional Tuesday evening game to make sure the floodlights are working ok.

So tomorrow I live in hope that the M4 widening at Cardiff will not be too troublesome, and with luck I will get to the Social Club in time for a pint before kick off. If not, then I will return home and pour a glass of Chablis to accompany the memory of Ben Harding’s goal against Rushden last Saturday. A better struck goal I find impossible to recall in all of my years supporting the Shots..

Well done Ben.

For me you have been the player of the season so far……continue to celebrate your new found confidence and the Football League will be your stage next year.

Gary Waddock and Martin Kuhl have built a vibrant team (yes well done to you too Martin……so many points of improvement over last season)….and Ben you are the heart…..brilliant goal.

It’s all in the timing.

And Steve McClaren……….
