Unlucky lads, thought you stood a good chance of staying up these last few weeks!
Got quite excited when I saw you were one up today, but ah well, how were the Leeds fans with you guys?
All the best for next season!
A great cup tie today proper FA Cup 3rd Round stuff.... Bad luck on the result I thought you deserved a trip upto Villa Park for a replay

The last Gills game I set the video for was Wembley 99 so can anyone tell me was their penalty dodgy or not, I sit down at the other end, but it clearly looked dodgy to me

Jackson would have dived before the bloke even got close to him

I was sat right in front of it, definitely one of the softest penalties i've ever seen. Although i've only seen it the once, it looked at the time like a completely shameless dive. Will be watching the highlights in a bit.
Was an absolutely cracking game, we gave them the absolute run around the whole game and i thought that we played near their level for the whole 90 minutes. I've never seen such good defending at Priestfield! Had a brilliant time at the game, brilliant to see the place packed completely and the noise when we got the goal was incredible. Disappointed we couldn't get the 2-2 for the replay and a trip to Villa Park, but I hope we can carry that kind of form into the league and bounce straight back from our relegation.

oh it will feel so good to wave at swindon on the way up after the job they did on us at the last home game last season. hopefully we'll also be meeting the scummers* in league 1 next season too. as for snatching the championship, how appealing does the game at griffin park in a couple of weeks look to be my first Gills away game
how bloody good does it feel to be talking realistically about a gillingham promotion for the first time in 9 years!?

I think that this little Gills sub-community is quite novel. I saw a Gills game several years ago, 2-2 at Millwall. Quite an action-packed match if I remember rightly. Then again I was only fifteen.
Hayes and Yeading also are flying at the moment...
I am a bit of a doom and gloom merchant and after 20 years on the rainham end I have every right to be but I think our goal difference may be our undoing for automatic promotion. Hopefully one more team will drop away soon leaving us the play offs. Roll on the next few weeks, March is being so mad this year.
