Humble Pie, well, the crust at least - Delays Possible

So last week I had a rant at PFC. Yesterday I travelled to Doncaster to watch us play Donny at the beautiful Keepmoat Stadium (if you get the chance to go, do it!!)
Especially as an opposition fan as the Donny fans didnt sing one song yesterday!! An awful showing from the home crowd.

And Pompey won. Not only did Pompey win, they kept a clean sheet. Not only did Pompey win and keep a clean sheet, they played very well!

So I retract the sentence that we're fucked from last week. We still need a lot sorting, especially in the boardroom but the team played well. They ran for each other, passed well (ish) and defended...ish.
But what was amazing was our first clean sheet since early Dec came when Carl Dickinson, Ibrahima Sonko and Aaron Mokoena didn't play! except CD coming on as an extra defender in the 83rd minute, but whatever. Lawrence was a good captain but needs to learn to keep passing instead of trying to twist and turn out of the middle of 4 players!

Our new loanee Jonathan Hogg was sent off in the 88th minute, this was very unfair as the deliberate handball only happened as he jumped. And as everyone says, when you jump your arms come up as leverage. but the reason it wasn't deliberate was Hogg turned his back to the ball as he jumped, so couldn't have seen where it was going and therefore couldn't move his hand to block it, therefore it wasn't deliberate. Just saying.

But a wins a win.

So well done lads, just keep playing like that please!!

That's enough about PFC as I spoke in length about them last week.

This week I wanted to talk about roadworks, I say talk, I mean rant.

There are a lot of roadworks going on at the moment. I don't mind if the government want to widen roads or improve surfaces, this is obviously a good thing yes?

Well yes but if you are going to start roadworks and lower the speed limit to 50mph with average speed checks along long stretches of roads. DO SOME FUCKING WORK!!!

Twice now this year, I have travelled North and returned the same day. Going up at 7am and coming home at around 6pm onwards. And there's no one at these works ever!! So why am I going 50mph on a 3 lane road when there's no one around?! Dumb asses!

Also, if your going to CLOSE a stretch of the m25 on a Saturday night, TELL PEOPLE!! So to let all my readers know, the m25 will be closed between junction 9 & 10 every Saturday from 10pm until 6am until the end of March 2011. This would have been good to know before the 4 lanes got pushed into 1, and of course all the idiots driving past thinking they can sneak in further up causes a bottleneck at the junction and so increases the delay.  Twats!!

I'm getting angry again now, so I will leave you all to your lives until I bother you again.

Thanks for reading and as always, comments welcome.
