Meanwhile in t’real world “Barnoldswick Town” of the North West Counties League Premier Division, the 9th tier of English Football, have made the 2nd Round qualifying of the FA Cup for the first time in their history. To get there they’ve dispatched Brighouse, Northwich Victoria, and Lancaster City. All these ties went to replays which means in August and September Barnoldswick have been involved in more FA Cup ties (6) than QPR play in half a decade.
The unchartered waters of the 2nd Round qualifying has thrown up a tough one for Barnoldswick Town, an away trip to Curzon Ashton of the National League North. A team playing three tiers above them. If they achieve the incredible and win that they still have to get through two more rounds and then it’s the crazy dream land stuff of a possible FA Cup Proper Round One clash with local rivals Accrington, or a war of the roses with nearby Bradford or the almost unbelievable prospect of a Lancashire derby with former FA Cup winners Bolton Wanderers. Up t’Barlick!
The UK Subs & The Dooleys. What a line-up. From the same promoters that brought you I’m in the mood for Nihilism: an evening with The Nolans & Crass. Not forgetting Peters & Lee supported by Suicide. Richard Digance sings Oi (with special guests). And on the other side of the pond take a cruise with The Partridge Family, the cast of Happy Days, and, playing all the hits … Black Flag.
Partly/ mostly foreign language. The Rs should instil a Coati Mundi inspired fitness regime in order to enhance stamina, resilience, and general midfield box to box in your facedness. Imagine Jimmy Dunne bowling through your local park busting these moves.
Can you hear me Brian Stein, Mark Stein, Dr. Frankenstein, Harvey Weinstein, Andy Goldstein, Leonard Bernstein, Brian Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Albert Einstein. You Steins took one helluva beating!
Paddy - I’m a big fan of the Michael Caine tune but for all these years didn’t realise it was Caine’s real voice - thought someone in the band had mimicked it. So that’s a proper Michael Caine Micheal Caine.
Have to say tho I love Madness their version of ‘Sweetest Girl’ is for me musical murder. Especially as the original Scritti number is one of my favourite tunes. And something I only discovered a few years ago - Robert Wyatt is on piano.
Best version the dubbier one given away free on an NME mix tape.
Trying to work out the formations. Wondered if Marti toyed with a back 3 - or else Santos or Varane? played as defender. Must have started with a false 9
Then changed up after an hour - including Frey on so a real 9
Interesting Shann gets a run out. Has impressed me the few times I’ve seen him for Dev squad. A full-back I believe. Or is he a centre-back? And sounds like Kieran Morgan got involved the few minutes he had.
Probably the most interesting thing is no mention of Colback being carded.
