LAST CHANCE SALOON
After coming so far, someone will fall at the final hurdle tonight – but Ralf Little, Blair McDonough and Rocky Marshall took the benching blow like true pros.
Rocky faces relegation for a second time, but he said was willing to take one for the team. “It was expected, so I’m fine about it,” he shrugged. “Graham knows more about football than I ever will - I just want the team to win.”
Blair has spent more time on the bench than a homeless person in a park – and he was understandably fed-up. “It doesn’t matter how much effort I put in, it still keeps coming back to smack me in the face,” he moped.
But the Aussie delivered one final plea to the Gaffer, saying: “He can rely on me 100%.”
The biggest shock of the night was the Manager’s decision to bench key defender Ralf Little, but the crocked left-back wasn’t surprised.
“I knew he was going to put me on the bench,” he revealed. “Before the announcement Graham called me into his office, looked me in the eye and asked if I was going to be fit – straight away I knew I was up. But I hold no grudge, because I haven’t trained for two days.”
Ralf’s answer to the Gaffer’s question was emphatic. He declared: “I will be fit. I don’t have a choice.”
With one night of voting still to go, let’s hope he sticks around long enough to prove it.
