The Big Match

Screenshot_2014-11-22-15-24-01It’s really not that important but it is hard to miss the opportunity.

Brentford played their local rivals, Fulham, Friday evening in the Championship. The last time I saw them play each other was about 1990 when I went to Craven Cottage with Sara for a League Cup game. Jimmy Hill was the chairman of Fulham at the time and he spoke to the crowd at half-time through the PA. The Brentford fans were singing “Flats upon the Cottage…”. We lived in Hammersmith at the time-a short walk to the ground. I cannot remember the score and not really that important.

Anyway, a big match this time around and televised by Sky TV-which was good for me. Not because it was televised here but because I could watch it via an internet streaming site. Excellent! The quality of the image was average but good enough to watch the action.

Brentford dominated the first half, the second was even. Fulham scored first-no!!!

But an equaliser brought the Bees back to life and they managed to score the winner near to the end.

Riding high now-4th until tomorrow probably but it has not been this good in my lifetime I believe.
