Gills & England away (82/92). Once collected 98 lost gloves and a child’s shoe during a single winter

This is what it means @BellinghamJude you little dancer ♥️

Lad is 7. He was only allowed to watch the first half then sent up to bed. I’m out early so won’t see him this morning. Some way to find out the @England score! 🦁 🦁 🦁

@Matthew79421198 @England Ah love this pal! It’s still happening 🤜🏻

@England_Pod question for the next (absolutely outstanding) pod… should he be allowed to watch the 2nd half on Tuesday!? #GoWell

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

For those asking… it wasn’t my decision to not let him watch the 2nd half! We shall pick our battles on that front. It’s a (hopefully) long old tournament for a young lad. Bring it all on 🙌🏼

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

@Harry_sims95 @England I was overruled be VAR pal!

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

@England_Pod what it means back home lads…

Nailed it…

Football had a monopoly on the single greatest moment of elation that existed in sport...and got rid of it in pursuit of a perfection that doesn't exist. Genuinely so shite

At this point yesterday The RE launched in to a passionate and frankly undeserved (all things considered) few mins of vocal backing

The players responded with a truly pathetic final half hour display

Give us a team who fight, graft and show some consistency. We’ll do the rest

[Gillingham FC @TheGillsFC]

58' (1-1) Andy Smith has gone down on the far side of the field and it looks like Shad Ogie is being prepared to replace him.

#Gills

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

Rubbish result but he’s happy as a pig in shit as he got a Gills colouring in book from the shop and his favourite player scored.

Worth remembering the bigger picture on a day like today. Better days will come! 🔵⚪️

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

The Ainsworth press conference is going to be even worse than usual tonight. Could someone from @BBCKentSport please ask some proper questions when he comes out bemoaning bad luck.

Dress it up how you want it’s another futile defeat.

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

Context fo anyone not there (you lucky gits!)… Dack took the kick off and punted the ball straight off for a goal kick. Never seen anything like it!

Ainsworth’s instant reaction was a ‘what the f*ck was that’ gesture which was met with a hard stare and pure disdain

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

Not sure is there’s been any coverage/footage shared of what Dack did from the restart after the 5th goal?

Looked like a statement being made!

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

GA blaming the injury list… come on pal the same players you listed have been losing us games since October. If they all start last night we still lose miserably and we all know it.

Go further with changes. Take out Clark, Smith, Hutton etc and play the kids at Cambridge 🙏🏻

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

Pay, beg and plead with this man by whatever ends necessary to get him back at the club asap

[Paul Fisher @Checkfish]

Terrible defensively. Looked lively for 5 mins going forward but now game over

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

@MarkHow63958178 Absolute nonsense. The only way Hale had to come off is if he’d broken one of his legs. Even then I’d have preferred to have him lay down upfront than have Vokes playing

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

This is unbelievable stuff from Ainsworth. The audacity of such a move is actually commendable in many ways.

I’ve tried so hard to stay behind him. Not any longer.

[Gillingham FC @TheGillsFC]

55' (0-4) #Gills subs:

➡️ Sam Vokes and Travis Akomeah

⬅️ Ronan Hale and Remeao Hutton

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

Quietly confident on this one…

[Jim Staples @JimStaples]

@Naylor94 Perfect! Not made a list yet but will do the same and reply 🤜🏻
