Taunton at Cigg-e

Will Merthyr Town's first league game at the Cigg-e Stadium (Oct 26) see a "DRAW???"

Let's hope it draws the crowds anyway.

I hope it's not a drag.

Hopefully we will play like we did against Shortwood, and Taunton will run out of puff:lol: 

Tim, any in-cider information on the Taunton boys....do you think thy will finish in the Botham half of the table.....with their season ' over' before Christmas ...or do you think there will be a cricket score for the away side plus Vat.....will Kyle Mc Flaggon feature?.....Boz

I will reveal some info on the Taunton team next week.

And I'll bring the clippers if you wish!

More like bring the buffer and pumice stone...with my tonsure.....Boz

I can also reveal that a famous footballing name is included in the match officials scheduled for this game.

The plot thickens...

Johnny Bisto....Bobby Bovril....or Dai Oxo.....or are you taking stock before beefing up the match programme....Boz

One of the linesmen was Martin Peters.

And the referee was Stevie Wonder....the other linesman was Jeff Stelling too....because he was watching a different game to me!,,,Boz

Scrappy game but hey ho, 3 points and a 100% record at home this season!  

Ironic, given Tommy was on BBC4 last night.

Surprised no one has commented on the Joe 90/Brains fella running the line...!

We thought he was one of the Proclaimers - must have covered 500 miles up and down the touchline, anyway.

Good one Hirwaunman....at least he had his glasses on...the other pot bound fella was letting them take throw ins from a different postcode....while he was rooted to the same spot.....I am not one to moan about officials even when we lose unjustly but this pair were special....perhaps we should award ref razzies this season ....mind you it does add colour to non league matches....usually my blood pressured face when they get it so badly wrong that is....I appreciate them giving up their time to entertain and keep our grass roots game alive....but those pair yesterday were hysterical....came we have them every week?....Boz
