Just back from Hawks v Lewes. The game was dire, and when we went one down after 12 minutes I couldn't see us getting anything out of it. The most entertaining moment came when Rocky Baptiste collided with the massive Lewes goalie, and the keeper went down as if pole-axed and stayed on the deck for about three minutes. One Hawks fan yelled at him "Get up, you fairy-arsed git" and a couple more colourful insults - I'm not in favour of foul language at non-league but have to admit to having a bit of a chuckle. Well, it did enliven a boring match for a moment. We all sarcastically applauded when the keeper finally got up. Rocky was booked, leading to a chant of 'The referee's a wanker' from the Hawks fans behind the goal.

On 70 minutes, a lovely Brett Poate pass found Rocky free just outside the box, and he rounded the last defender and tapped past the goalie for the equaliser. It ended 1-1.

I didn't even try to race for the 5.15 train this time; headed for the clubhouse for a Coke (you can tell it's near the end of the month; if I'd had a couple more quid spare it'd have been a Magners) and to watch the results coming in on Sky Sports News. My Scottish team, East Stirlingshire, won 5-0 at home to local rivals Stenhousemuir :)

Gotta go watch X Factor.

There's been some real nutters in the auditions, haven't there? What about the guy last week doing Michael Jackson, who fell against the back wall and almost collapsed it?? I felt sorry for that girl, Kylie, this week who had all her family carrying placards for her. They raised her hopes far too much.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the girl this week. I missed the person last week though who sang Michael Jackson because I was on holiday, but yeah, the auditions are pretty funny.
