Magpies 0 Yate Town 5 SLPS 08/03/22 + VIDEO ADDED

I’m almost beyond words now, I don’t know how anybody can carry on defending this manager anymore. No guts, no fight, no spirit, no clue. It’s totally unacceptable and embarrassing to continue as we are.

And because we could do with brightening up here is my effort which appeared in tonights matchday programme:-

Yate is a commuter town and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, England, at the southwest extremity of the Cotswold Hills, 12 miles northeast of Bristol city centre and 98 miles due west of London. At the 2011 census the population was 21,603. The town is the birthplace of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who lived in Yate between 1965 and 1969. The first mention of Yate is the existence of a religious house in about AD 770; Yate is also mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name is derived from the Old English word giete or gete, meaning 'a gateway into a forest area. Yate is approximately 67 miles from Wimborne Minster.

A man was convicted of robbery and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. His lawyer visited him in his cell and told him:
" Now don't worry about a thing. I've got fresh evidence and I'm going to get you a re-trial. We'll get another Judge and a new Court. I'm getting you a completely new deal and you'll be free. Just don't worry about anything. In the meantime, if you get a chance, try to escape !

A man bought a dress for his wife's birthday which was 2 sizes too small. He said I want you to slim down so I can see you in it. For his birthday the wife said the same thing when she bought the husband a coffin.

Hours after the end of the world, a border dispute emerged between heaven and hell. God invited the devil for conversations to find a way to resolve this dispute quickly. Satan, the devil, proposed a soccer game between heaven and hell.

God, always fair, told the devil, "The heat must be affecting your brain, the game would be so one sided, don't you know all the 'good' players go to heaven?"

The devil, smiling, responded "Yeah, but we've got all the refs !

A passenger plane pilot was flying accross the Atlantic when one of the engines caught fire. The pilot was alarmed and was shouting into his radio Christmas Day, Christmas Day! There was no response and so he shouted 'New Years Day, New Years Day ! Again no response. His co-pilot turned to him and said "Captain, I think the word you want is Mayday!"

A man was walking accross a building site with his mate who said to him 'Why does the Foreman call you a Donkey' 'I don't know' said the man ' But ee-aw, ee-aw, ee always calls me that'

James is struggling at the moment the same as all the team are.

I think personally there are 5 a best that should be kept, and Gerrard as good as he is/was has only come back for the money he has no interest at being there.

I feel sorry for barts, morg and connal who are the only ones show any real level of effort or commitment

The problem I have is against the likes the MET and Gosport even last week. The players were good enough and capable, however last night and nearly other game in last 4 months it's the players that aren't good enough. Unfortunately there is one common denominator which remains the same and thats the manager.
All the talk of promotion next year seems very far fetched. I would think its hard for even the most experienced manager to go from one extreme to another let alone James.

As Yogi said this isnt working out well for James. But the longer this goes on, I think more questions need to be asked of the new board. A lot of us said it at the time that the decision to give a nee contract was bad, but at this point it seems absolutely incredulous questions really do need to be asked.

The problem with giving James a new contract is that the BoD have backed themselves into a very tight corner, considering that they are supposed to be successful business people I find this very hard to comprehend.

I cannot believe that they would reward failure in such a way in any other area of their business, yes budget can be used as an excuse but we have been told for weeks now that the budget is available and yet nothing has improved (in fact it has got worse) yet we are expected to pay to watch complete dross week in week out whilst pretending that everything will come up rosy next season with the same people in charge.  

Why would James now resign and give up on what he is owed on the remaining 15 months of his contract when he can hang around and wait to be sacked (with the BoD obliged to fulfil the terms of his contract)

Do the BoD really believe that James is the best person to have at the wheel next season?, have they explored other options? Do they have a plan B? What's the feeling from the dressing room? 

Now and then we get beaten by the odd goal. But most of the time we are getting walloped now. Where is the consistency. This is trying the patience of even the most committed supporter.

I would say this is the worst result of the season. We lost 8-1 away to Hayes and 4 nil away to Kings Langley, but losing 5nil at home is even more unacceptable. It stems back to the original BoD who allowed us to lose just about all the first team squad except Arnie and Curtis.
