Cod Almighty | Diary

Short but sour

7 January 2022

I've noticed a little nostalgia recently for the shorter and more concise diary. Indeed, one of the CA founding fathers pointed out it was originally meant to be just a few lines detailing happenings at the club. I think the long-windedness really set in with Retro Diary, whose offering on Wednesday January 5th 2004 was so long it was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature, and was continued by less able diarists who bulked out their contributions with completely random rants about Sinead O'Connor and other irrelevancies.

So, in that spirit, this one is going to be shorter than Jimmy Krankie's left leg.

We haven't got a game tomorrow. The last game was on Monday. Battersby has been recalled. Ed is dead whahoo hoo. The transfer window is open, but so far only a dozy wasp has flown in. I missed the flag on the badge controversy because I couldn't possibly care less.

I thought Pearson was absolutely outstanding on Monday and was shocked to see a Fishy contributor name four potential men of the match and none of them were him. The performance against Halifax has given us some hope, but being mid-table in the Division of the Damned still isn't doing it for me.

Some Town fans calling for Crocombe to be dropped and McKeown reinstated because the former made one – one – repeat ONE – mistake – made me wish I had more hands so I could facepalm harder.

I still find it weird when we play two consecutive games against the same club.

And that's it, apart from the Badger Parade. Oh hang on, parade's cancelled.
