I have now decided that there is sufficient content on here to give out the address of the blog so anyone can come on and have a look. I hope people will. Please feel free to say if you've been on here and I'd like to know what you think.
I just want to say if you are venturing on here, presumably you are an Imp and you have got the link from Give Me Football or Twitter. The articles I write for gmf are for the Professional Footballers Association and that I have to write in accordance with the parameters set out for me by the pfa namely that I must show LCFC and indeed all players in a positive light. You may disagree with me, I'd be surprised if you didn't but you will not find overt critiscism of players. That's what I have to do in gmf and it is not in my nature to criticsise City players in any event. It's not a fan site I'm writing for.
I think it would be a good idea for me to stick to that philosophy on my blog too. That's not to say I don't sometimes think that so and so is a donkey or wonder how someone became a professional footballer of course I do.
I will not get involved in detailed discussion on formations, tactics etc. I don't know enough technically to do that. My son Matthew certainly does and has offered to help me with advice but I have decided it will be all my own work, a fans perception of the goings on at Lincoln City and life as a supporter. As Denis Thatcher once said "I'd rather be thought of a fool than open my mouth and remove all doubt!"
Finally the articles on here which appeared on gmf are, generally ,in their original form. Sometimes they are altered by the editor, usually the headlline is different. I suspect they will be shortened in the future as there seems to be a bit of a tussle between the pfa and Sports New Media who I report to so for the full unexpurgated version check on the blog.
