Post by: Not Now Kato on December 14, 2014, 11:25:47 am
The Gills fans basking in the sunshine before kickoff

I know Curtis likes his hair in a bun but......................

If you could manage to do something useful with just one ball it'd be an improvement Son

The excitement builds as the teams enter the arena

In front of the usual packed East Stand.

O.K.  To be fair, the first half did see some goalmouth action at their end

Even if it didn't produce anything  :thumbdown:
 
 
Don't cry Reece, it's only a yellow
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0377_zpsd77420eb.jpg)
 
 
It could have been much worse.  I've seen red cards and penalties give for shirt pulling in the area!
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0378_zpsee5a3a16.jpg)
 
 
However, things got really exciting at half time.  Well, for ten people it did.  Show us your balls, one of you is going home ten grand richer....
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0382_zpse97dabd2.jpg)
 
 
Who will it be?  Pick a ball, any ball.................
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0383_zps6781a49a.jpg)
 
 
Well, we might have gone home dissapointed at losing 2 - 1, but I suspect there's one person who didn't really care that much

The South Stand faithful.  Just look how packed it is in there too.  Gives the East Standers a good run for thier money.
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0392_zps43defe0e.jpg)
 
 
Back to the action, and the yellow cards are evened up.  Come on Kyle, float a good one in
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0399_zps53a875e6.jpg)
 
 
But we stall can't find the target
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0402_zpse5889285.jpg)
 
 
Though we had enough chances
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0404_zps3ab2914b.jpg)
 
 
Stopage time, we, (somehow), get a penalty and their keeper gets booked for gamesmanship.  Sully was far better at it than this guy  :whistle:
 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/PeterLB/PhotoBlogs/DRFC%20v%20Gillingham/DSCF0405_zps92898149.jpg)
 
 
Gamesmanship didn't work either, though he did guess the right way and wasn't far off....

Hope these snapshots helped cheer some of you up.  Maybe things will be better come Saturday,  Then, maybe not..............................  But we live in hope.  :rtid:

That must be the closest the ball got to Curtis Mains head all day!

Good photos mate, that Wabara chance really is a clear header. Should have scored.

Good photos. On the east stand middle photo, where do the board sit in that area?

Immediately to the left as you look at the photo.  Another 2 or 3 metres  and you would have see them.

On the first picture
We were pin the box above the gills fans and that is my sister shielding her eyes
It was a pre- birthday treat and all the close family was there in the box
Even had a message on the big screen
And best of all I got to give copps a bottle of champagne and have my photo taken with him

Did Copps win man of the match?? I have to admit I legged it at 2-0..I had to pick the kids up from the ex and in truth I was frozen,bored and couldn't see us scoring in a nightclub full of Nymphomaniacs...Frankly I had suffered enough for one day..!
