Thirty Plus

Despite having 9 men available, we lost 2 - 0 in a game we looked unlikely to score in even if we had the 2 subs on at the same time. Unfortunately the loss of Matt meant defensive changes, an area we've done well in recently, and as a result, the team playing too deep. The one real chance, a chip over the keeper, was headed off the line and the outcome had an inevitability about it.

The after match atmosphere was initially subdued but picked up as Dave bought a packet of cigarettes, an event recorded for posterity by Jason on his camera phone. You will be able to tell that Dom wasn't there to provide the usual supply.

Simon has provided me with some management speak hot from the adminisphere which I am going to try to incorporate into my day at school.

• it's a self licking lollipop
• my ladder is leant against your wall (must be accompanied by hand on shoulder for maximum impact)
• we all need to pull together to boat this bass

I had plenty of this type of comment directed at me during INSET Day yesterday which I will come back to in a later post.

Inclusion is busy today with 12 people already there with a further 5 meant to be in too but either absent or at college placement. Currently having to investigate an incident involving a stanley knife and the theft on an Ipod.
