Gillingham FC Forum

Hi Gary..I'm guessing that stats man on the gills wall is you? Can you please explain the comment from the wall on Saturday? '' Radeem Harris is the only player in the football league whose name is an anagram of Danny Kedwell'' This led to much confusion from other gills fans on the wall!

Why would it be me? You know I log in with my twitter handle of @Gills_Stats! He clearly hates what I write and it was a sarcastic comment which, I notice, never got a response from the club. There were comments in the past that Phill said were quite rude and he couldn't/wouldn't put them on there! I am the first to admit not everyone likes them but I'd rather read those than some idiot saying how badly we are going to lose all the time! If you don't like them, ignore them because in 30 seconds they are off the page!

I will be at the game and can't read the wall but I will try and post internet allowing so you can put him straight for me! Ha ha.

I love the wall when I am not at the games but recently it has been spoiled by some inane comments which don't add anything. The stats that Gary posts add colour and context to what is going on and when other fans contribute thoughtfully that adds to the enjoyment also. But when people are constantly posting 'come on Gills' or 'I'm from Outer Mongolia, where are you from?' etc, it just gets in the way of the actual commentary. If I join late I enjoy going back to the beginning to find out what has happened, for example, has anyone hit the post, been booked and so on. That is almost impossible when yo have to trawl through people telling me how players from teams not even involved are doing or posts such as 'oh no' or 'I knew it!' I think the commentator has to decide which posts to publish. Perhaps he needs to be a little more discerning!

I agree. We seem to be getting an awful lot of score updates of late for every team in the division like its the final day of the season or a side has just scored 10! And you forget the most annoying one of all, the posts that come from between 2:50 and 3:15 of "How many Gills fans are there"? Well you'll find out officially in the second half and does it really matter presently!!!!

My apologies Gary

No worries. I can't really read it much at the game (more like my PC can't keep up). Was he on there? I've only seen him twice moaning how stupid they are!!!

OK what the **** are you guys talking about. I admit I have been drinking and thats because the MIGHTY BIG BLUE MACHINE kicked Fleetwoods ass all the way back to, ???? well I guess Fleetwood where ever that is, but is the Wall one of those annoying things that runs on a electronic screen during the entire game next to the side line, if it is who ever invented that needs shooting.

Its a great way of not only keeping in touch for those who have no radio coverage of a game but also to interact. Very useful..........if annoying people didn't keep filling it with junk!

If they want to really find out how many Gills fans are they, why don't they turn up and count them?! Seems a funny thing to be proud of when you are not involved!
