Match Number 6

28 December 1997, Liverpool at SJP, Tino's penultimate game. An early girl from perennial Scouser-tormentor Steve Watson had everyone smiling before MacManmanmanamanaman scored 2 before half time to kill the game off. One of those exciting games where Tino battled up front on his own with Ketsbaia, JDT and Rush gathering splinters right to the final whistle. Must have been tactical, eh?

Points Hislop 1 (2 + GD) Barton 2 Hamilton 1 (sub) Beresford 2 Pistone 2 Pearce 2 Watson 7 (def goal!) Batty 2 Lee 2 Barnes 2 Gillespie 2 Asprilla 2 So let's see, that's 5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders...a bit open isn't it? No wonder we lost!

This brings Athletico Backworth's 100 percent record to an end, although the unfortunate Toon Goons have continued theirs...

G'gate	1-1	Bax Bas

PPP	1-0	Che Chop
PLU	5-0	Dud Boys
Q Mech	0-2	Dunc's D's
Real Z	0-1	How Har
Spayne	0-1	JHP

Still frighteningly titght in the Notionless, except for Proper Lard Unathletic who appear to be in the wrong league. TGJnr's revolutionary dietary habits are already being followed by the other managers, and reinforced suspension is being fitted to team coaches whilst the half time oranges have been replaced with pies.

All of which alters the table rather nicely.

Thank you. Although I wasn't involved in team selection my influence was clearly evident in last night's performance. If the crowd get behind us tonight against Yellie's Yobs I see no reason why we can't pick up 3 points and start a push for the promotoin play off places.
I'm off for another Pizza now, ciao!

Hmm?! You took me unawares Rude - unfair tactic wearing those shorts on the touchline! Totally distracted me from the job in hand! Should think the same disgraceful tactics will work well tonight though, - can`t say any more though - insider information and all that!

e Management TSW !!!!

When's game 7 Softie?

-- Anonymous, April 26, 2000

Many apologies folks, a Tynedale Man, Mrs Tynedale, Softie and Guiness interface took place in the Trent House after work. A tired and emotional League Chairman was scolded by his good lady some time after 9.00pm. There is to be a general tightening of policy in future and the fixture congestion will be sorted out tonight.

A perfectly understandable and valid excuse Softie. I trust a good time was had by all!

Anyway my team play better when the fixtures come thick and fast! :o))
