No Game on Tomorrow.

[IBM]

tm4tj has finally had a well earned day off with our league finished for the season.  I remember when he worked a four day week, I bet he would like to do that again  

It will seem a bit strange with play offs and other football still going on tomorrow we will be thankfully looking from outside waiting to see what the setup will be for next season.  With the weather we have had recently it brings a thought for summer football but it's not likely to happen in my lifetime.  I will be busy in the garden and check the results later and no PotY or stats to do tomorrow   Hope you all have a good day.

He sure does a fantastic job which is appreciated throughout CTO. For years he has been asking for assistance with the match day previews and reports but there's been nobody coming forward. Well done @tm4tj for keeping going.

Thank you manfer, your efforts are always appreciated here in Australia. We always look forward to your excellent previews.

Thanks guys. My task was made much easier when IBM and our good friend and former work colleague EWD ict came onboard to lighten my load by doing all the background stats. Sadly Eric is no longer with us and Iain now does that side of it on his own. It's a considerable contribution which allows me to be more 'creative' or a pain in the erse, depending on your sense of humour.

The late Johndo contributed many reports and previews & Smileymometers and we used to have a conveyor belt of reporters who occasionally contributed if I badgered them enough. (Liam, OCG, Granty, Davie, Maryhill etc etc...)However, with the advent of other great media outlets like the fabulous Wyness Shuffle, X (twitter) the popularity of the written word takes a hit in favour of more 'hip' options. (see what I mean about antiquated terminology)

In an ideal world, I would like a young fresh reporter or two to come onboard and bring a new creativity and dimension to the CTO articles. So the offer of fresh ideas new blood is always on the table. Let your creative juices run free, mine are drying up. Might be an idea for anyone looking to get into writing/journalism/sports...

Get in touch if you fancy penning a few articles,

As IBM said, we are no getting any younger...
