‘Here’s To You, Jimmy Gannon’…


County completely capitulated in the second-half as Huddersfield secured their play-off place in one of the most embarrassing days of my County-supporting life.

The Terriers cemented the final play-off place with a 6-0 victory with six different goalscorers as Gary Ablett’s side collapsed humiliatingly in front of 3424 Town fans.

I’m currently listening to Pure FM’s Gary Ablett interview as he struggles to find the words to discuss the ‘two-week silence’ from the 2015 Group.

‘I don’t particularly want to hang around in a job until the 13th of May (Football League meeting) just to be told I’m not needed any more. And if someone from the group had the, erm…I’ve got to be careful how I word this…the fortitude to come and speak to me, I could find out tomorrow whether I’m needed or not.’

Well, judging from the reaction of the Cheadle End Gary, you’re not.

Without going into the whole Ablett debate, today was unacceptable. And you can’t blame that sort of thing on administration. And as the 4th, 5h and 6th goals went in for The Terriers, the chant rose from the Cheadle End…

Here’s to you Jimmy Gannon, Stockport loves you more than you will know…

Jimmy Gannon’s Blue ‘N’ White Army…

And I knew it probably wasn’t the best thing to do. But I couldn’t help joining in.

We need Gannon back. He belongs here. Today was an absolute shambles and if Ablett is the nice man we all believe him to be, then he’d walk.

Ex-County man Anthony Pilkington opened the scoring without celebration, before Theo Robinson and Jordan Rhodes added two more.

And as full-time approached with the score at 3-0, Danny Drinkwater curled in a beautiful free-kick before Gary Roberts cleverly chipped fon Williams from 20 yards. Yes, after being given the freedom of Edgeley Park.

Sub Lee Novak then scored from the spot as Sam Barnes hacked down Roberts in the area.

Please go Gary.
