A piece of WFC trivia from those games: they were Darren Ward’s first two appearances for Watford - both away to L*t*n and both 0-0, about 9 months apart.
Those were the days when IKG's sparkling writing lit the place up. Should have been a football writer Ian, if you re reading.
I think I 'came across' Dominique when I was in Barcelona several years ago (not for WFC football, obvs!!!)
The problem with being a journalist whatever the field is unless you have your own column (and you have to be well-established and have a lot of experience in your profession for that) is the word and time limit. I attended a course in music journalism some years ago and was unable to finish one of the assignments on time and I think part of the reason was cutting my piece down to size. People have said I write well (I wrote a fair few lengthy match reports during the early months of my membership here largely as practice for a possible career as a sports writer, before realizing I just don’t have the level of insight into football of many of the regulars here who’ve been going to games far more often and in much greater number than me) but my problem has always been concision, I suspect it’s a problem with IG great though his reports are. Writing for your own website when you have all the column inches in the world is quite a different proposition from writing for a newspaper or magazine when you usually have a tight word limit and have to tailor your prose to the house style of such publication. Of course, IG could write a book or two but unless it became a best-seller you wouldn’t get much from the time invested in that…
I had to have this done when I was a slip of a lad. And me a 'left-footer, n'all!!! No memories of the actual procedure, mind...
Another club with a flying insect in their logo are that lot up the road, right in the middle of the badge. No idea why. Maybe we should reciprocate by putting a hat on the moose
I wrote an article for the university newspaper on Cambridge Utd winning the Southern League and Cup double and getting into the Football League for the first time. I was pleased with it and it was the specified number of words, but they csme by some great photos and cut the middle paras of my text out without editing the text to restore the flow. At that point I decided I didn't want to be a journslist.
Sounds a hell of an article if that article won you the Southern League and Cup double, and got you into the Football League for the first time.
I see you have fallen into the security services trap there. It’s reading or googling “Independent” that they are monitoring.
According to Big Geoff at the chippy, there will be no referee. So both sides can get stuck in with the bloodlust tackles from minute one. Problem is, our eleven fairies won't lay a glove on them. If we by some mircale go ahead early on, our shirkers will bottle it from a corner where Bachmann punches the ball into a Luton attacker who flcks it in off his shin Andre' Gray style.
I can't remember, were you in Bushey, Cassio, Fuller , New, or Platt? You weren't in T as I was in that form.
The good news is we can't drop a place by losing and Luton can't climb a place by winning (unless they win by 16 goals).
I’m disgusted to learn that it has been renamed from Traveller to Turner. Couldn’t stand the pompous bumbling twwat
