Bad day for midfielders of both sides who will have gone home with neckache from watching the ball fly over their heads. We need to start playing some football as well as the long balls.
Had a great stay at a very nice 16th century coaching inn just 6 miles from FGR. Wonderful countryside, great food, beers and the staff were excellent.
Nice meal in FGR hospitality. Pre match Q&A session with Robbie Savage. I embarrassed him with a question about the pre season friendly in the Hague where he had to travel alone on a later flight because he'd got his wife's passport instead of his own. Had to get a taxi from Schiphol to the Hague. Post game he came over for a chat. That was good but a short while later, following a toilet break I passed the director's lounge and in the doorway was none other than David Clowes. Great 5 minute chat with him and he came across exactly the way you'd expect from reports in the press and from online reports form fans. I did say I wasn't one of those expecting a huge transfer kitty once restrictions were lifted. He neither confirmed nor denied but reading between the lines, I think I'm right.
Grand few days away with Mrs Amster and the 2 lads.
Onwards and upwards.
