Fulham 1 (Zamora 38) Blackburn Rovers 1 (Rochina
32)
Attendance: 24,856
After the rigours of the international on
Monday night, I was looking forward to a relatively quiet game against
Blackburn. Unfortunately, it was a little too quiet, as I was positioned at the
pitchside, one of the worst places to bem especially as I had been established
as a vomitory steward for the past six months.
As it happened, I don’t think I missed too
much on the pitch, as it was a pretty dour encounter, though there was a nasty
clash of heads between Mark Schwarzer and Junior Hoilett in stoppage time of
the second half. I didn’t see the incident, of course, and I had to rely on
asking the Canadian guy wearing a Toronto F.C. shirt who was sitting in front
of me.
I suppose the only benefit of being pitchside
is that you get fairly up close with the opposition goalkeepers when they’re
warming up. Paul Robinson, the Rovers keeper, was very good with the fans and
happily signed autographs for those crowding the front of the stand.
I must admit that if I don’t get my place back
in the vomitaries I will seriously consider resigning, as it’s not really worth
me doing the job if I’m just going to be pitchside.
