Who would want to be a football referee! The problem is that the end-of-match reports from losing Gaffers would all be the same: “rubbish, worst ref in history, that wisnae a penalty…” By the time the junior secretary in the Department of Waster Paper had sorted them out, then I’m sure they would be of no relevance. After all, our Gaffer has not always been the most realistic of post-match assessors in his time. Now, we averaged a conclusion that 14th is where we ought to end up, so we are only 3 points adrift of that, and 4 points adrift of an over-achieving season. Us Wombles like to be in our burrows, but the deepest and darkest recesses of the league are not for us. We came up too soon and we miss the impact that Bayo used to give us at the start of seasons (before he then disappeared for games on end). 2 games down and eight until we make our assessment n’est-ce pas. Let’s keep the faith and look at the table upside-down and rejoice!
