Play-off Hopes Still Alive!

Following today's Isthmian South programme we're pleased to announce that GFC's play-off hopes are still alive. All it needs is for us to get maximum points and everyone above us to lose all their remaining matches or go into administration/liquidation before the end of the season.

This being football the administration/liquidation option can't be ruled out but Ormering suggests you ignore the mathematicians on this occasion. Anyway, here are today's results:-

Carshalton 1 Whitstable 1 ; Chipstead 0 Corinthian Casuals 2 ; Faversham 0 Burgess Hill 0 ; Folkestone 3 East Grinstead 1 ; Herne Bay 0 Redhill 0 ; Horsham 1 Whyteleafe 3 ; Sittingbourne 0 Worthing 0 ; Three Bridges 4 South Park 0 ; Tooting & Mitcham 1 Hastings 1 ; Walton Casuals 1 Hythe 0.

Interested to see in recent days mention of a new raft of taxes to come in Guernsey, as well as more raised voices on the situation at and near the harbour. Politicians are rather like people that run football clubs in that they have a tendency to ignore the will of the people unless they take direct action or have a vote. As far as votes go they know when they're going to be up for election so, in the absence of direct action, they know how much time they've got to introduce hair brained schemes that they also know will be expensive to reverse by an incoming administration.

So, if you're really vexed about the works on the seafront and the situation with cruise ship passengers, you need to get off your arse and into/onto your vehicles the next time a cruise ship is due to visit (so the owners can take advantage of Guernsey's tax friendly territorial waters) and drive round and round, nose to tail for a couple of hours. Don't forget to do what every driver simply has to do in a traffic jam - beep your horn. A lot. And don't let any coaches into the traffic flow.

Bit crude and some will think such things aren't the 'Guernsey way' but, as the politicians and the civil servants clearly aren't listening to you, what's the alternative?

Sorry, got a bit distracted there, time to get back on track.

Tomorrow a response to the club's statement and various other mixed messages about the Jack Boyle situation.

Keep it Green

Allez les Verts!!
