The goal that never was...

We’re just like The Beatles today, here, there and everywhere and after a weekend spent up in the grim north, we’re still struggling to find our Southern mojo.

Further geographical dislocation comes in today’s Football League decision not to replay the Reading v Watford game after Saturday’s goal that never was.

For those who missed it, Reading were awarded a goal after the ball dribbled over the goal line on the wrong side of the post and the linesman, who’s eyesight would frankly make a bat look sharp and eagle-eyed, maintained it was all down to - and-we-shit-you-not-this-is-an-actual-quote an ‘optical illusion’.

Now we’re divided, we now live in the ‘Ding (it’s like the Nam, only with slightly fewer snipers) and have always had a soft spot for Steve Coppell’s men. But we’re lifelong Hornets fans and it seems grossly unfair to not only rob us of a victory, but maintain all the yellow cards and cautions we got from complaining against .

Still, we’re reluctantly forced to agree, you can’t exactly replay a game just because the ref gets something wrong, otherwise we’d never finish a weekend, let alone a season.

It’s just one further bit of shit luck, in what promises to be a decidedly shit season.
