Play Up Brompton

Gillingham FC, past and present, with occasional nonsense. Lives in South London. Likes a pint. From Kent, but a rare Gills fan never to have lived in Medway.

G’wan Conor! Let’s hope he now doesn’t get the Gills injury curse.

Still a great keeper at that level.

@HaydnParry @Deutsch_Gills @FOM_BLOG @Gills_Stats It’s those rarities to find but then checking did they keep a clean sheet? Example: We had the Ashby-Hammond brothers play against each other away at Stevenage a couple of years ago but no clean sheet.

@pykestar @FOM_BLOG Cheers Ben, fair play for putting the time into the grassroots too. Would love to hear one of those debriefs. Managers have to explain themselves after every game; would be good to hear the officials’ take occasionally. Recipe for disaster, obviously.

[Play Up Brompton @playupbrompton]

@GillsInTheBlood @_joeb0501 @jamesc1988gfc Exactly this. Brophy back in the middle. King’s a big miss but we’re still such a new team. Brophy back in the middle, Dack to come back. It’ll happen, even while King is out. Roll on Rovrum!

@Deutsch_Gills @HaydnParry @FOM_BLOG @Gills_Stats @Deutsch_Gills & @FOM_BLOG thanks for ruining my Sunday! I can’t seem to find any examples before 1900. More news as I get it.

[Play Up Brompton @playupbrompton]

@Deutsch_Gills @HaydnParry @FOM_BLOG @Gills_Stats Found one in Scotland. St Mirren 0–0 Motherwell, 20 Feb 2007 - Chris Smith and Graeme Smith in goal.

@HaydnParry @TheGillsFC 65 since he came back has surprised me. Wouldn’t have guessed it was that many already. Hopefully many more - big part to play once he’s fully up to speed given the injury to Eli King.

[Play Up Brompton @playupbrompton]

@BlueBrazil1975 I agree. It’s laughable. With VAR the keeper gets done there - it’s the hands on the head that do it for me.

[Play Up Brompton @playupbrompton]

@FOM_BLOG @Deutsch_Gills This seems all I can find

[Play Up Brompton @playupbrompton]

@HaydnParry @FOM_BLOG @Gills_Stats Doesn’t seem to be terribly common but I’ve found one. Exeter 0–0 Leyton Orient, 10th April 2010. Paul Jones and Jamie Jones.

@FOM_BLOG @Gills_Stats @HaydnParry You’re right - he did face Mark Brown at Hibs in the Scottish Cup semi-final on 14th April 2012. Finished 2–1 to Hibs though. Found a couple of 0–0s between them too, but Mark was on the bench.

[Play Up Brompton @playupbrompton]

@JamesCruttwell It’s the hands on the head like he’s been hit there that do it for me.

@Gills_Stats @HaydnParry @FOM_BLOG I’ve spent the last hour getting a couple of AI models to look at this and I can’t find anything else. Almost as dull as watching our game earlier.

@Gills365 Nah, the one at York was way worse. But that Eaves one was shockingly poor.
