Welcome to the start of another week, and that means it's even closer to Christmas and there's just over 6 weeks left for all us blokes to still NOT do any shopping - that's what Chritsmas Eve's for right?!!
Fistly I want to say a huge congratulations to our endorsee Paul Farman of Gateshead FC as he has won the Blue Square Premier Player of the Month for October, a thoroughly well deserved accolade for one of our young goalkeepers.
FA Cup weekend always brings back happy memories fro me as it's always a huge buzz to have played in the competition (I was even a named substitute last year when the club I was coaching for had a goalkeeper shortage! Our keeper got floored in the 85th and I thought that I was going to make my final bow in the historic competition, but he only went and got up! How selfish was that?!). This years competition saw a few of our endorsees debut the Portiere Pro range in the cup - even the Legends made an appearance on ITV's highlights on Saturday night, being worn by Nick Liversedge in Darlington's defeat against Barnet FC at Underhill. The sight that made me chuckle was Gatesheads's goalkeeper Paul Farman sprinting to celebrate with his team mates after they scored the equaliser late on against Brentford - he rugby tackled the scorer on the half way line, floored him then left him there! The other tie featured WarbyGK gloves at both ends as Ian Dunbavin's Accrington Stanley beat James Bittners Salisbury City 2-1 leaving the Lancashire club in the hat for the next round.
Finally I am away now for a few days, and am spending today tidying up a few things before taking my girls to Disney Land. I have my fingers crossed for an announcement imminently on an issue we've mentioned several times recently but the matter is now in the hands of Agents and Solicitors so we may hit a stumbling block or indeed brick wall which could kill it stone dead! If it happens today, rest assured that I'll be shouting about it!
