With an away match against Reading this evening it was looking very bad. Each one was saluted with 'good morning Mr magpie' but the sense of dread remained. A very busy day at work ensured that I didn't think about that evening's match much at all. A text from Vicky later on informed me that Mr Russell had apologised and Jordan Bowery's red card had been rescinded. A bit of good news there then. Home and fed a couple of hours later the team news was in with even more good tidings. Alex Revell was playing. There were some mind games from Steve with him declaring that Revell may not play due to the kick in the head he received against Middlesborough.
Unfortunately Steve had decided to give Matt Derbyshire yet another chance. We turned on the TV to watch sky's rolling result service, of course being a night match it was Jeff's young replacement in the studio not the great man himself. All started well, 0-0 after five minutes, and then being Ian's dad's birthday we headed down to his house to hand over the presents.
Down at Pleasley Road his dad was very pleased with the ceramic knives we had bought him.
Checking my phone I could see it was still 0-0, after almost half an hour, than the magpies kicked in. 'Goal for Reading' screamed sky sports app 'Mackie 29 minutes'.Never mind, we can come back from 1-0, we have done before. More present unwrapping, the latest Wilbur Smith book, again delight. Halftime 1-0, all to play for in the second half. Kathy phoned and had a lovely long chat with grandma and Grandad. I checked my phone again 'Goal for Reading, Cox 55'. Never mind we can come back from 2-0, we have done before. More chatting and demonstrations of knives sharpness, then we set off for home. Back in front of the TV and young man told us 'Goal for Reading, Cox 64'. 3-0 is a bit of an ask even for Rotherham United. 'Shall we watch pointless' Said Ian 'yes I replied'.
Final score 3-0, Next Up, the pigsty.
Due to this being a match to forget there will be no funniest moment, men of the match or Ian's award tonight. All three will return on Saturday, along with the much requested toilet watch.
