Still Undefeated!

I can’t complain about the football results yesterday, with both my teams being victorious. Leeds won 1-0 at Macclesfield in the Carling Cup, while Bath City beat Eastleigh in the league.

On the way to Twerton Park, Simon and I popped into The Dolphin pub. Simon surprised me by ordering a J20 – he normally orders a bottle of red wine, which he then washes down with a few Magners and a jug of Pimms. I went for a pint of Thatchers, which Mr. Goater, in a rare moment of wit, referred to as “farmers brew”. The cheeky bastard – I should stab him with my pitchfork.

The game was entertaining. City played well, and Eastleigh looked far from amazing. If Bromley and Eastleigh are examples of the “quality” in this division, I can see another promotion this season.

Unfortunately, the standard of the refereeing is still just as poor as last year. Apologies to anyone who was offended by a rather rude insult I hurled at the ref following a foul on City’s Phil Walsh in the penalty box. I won’t repeat it on here, but it sounded a little like “Ducking lunt!” When I got home, I washed my mouth out with lots of soap and water - I was a bad boy.
