BIRMINGHAM CITY v
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY
Another of my rare big days out at St. Andrews because 5,500
miles is a long way! . . .
|
So to the Press room I go, and I turn to this
fella and say, "Didn't you use to be Joe Gallagher?!" It turns
out he still is. I forget what he told me he does at the club,
but his main income is via Rover in Solihull . . . following
Villa fans around the plant and breaking their legs.
|
Spot the ball and win 3s 6d.
|
The [lousy] St. Andrews turf flies in this shot. It sez
'football' to me, but where the hell is the ball [again]?
|
McSheffrey tries a long lob, and kills a Sheffield Wednesday
supporter at the back of the Olympic Gallery.
|
Second half, and Jerome goes close, but . . .
|
Jerome returns to the penalty area to fire the first after the
keeper had spilled the ball under pressure from his own
defender. Another defender narrowly avoids a red card as the
ball whistles past his gesticulation of adulation.
|
Time to celebrate! Jerome rarely seems happy, or is he always
like that?
|
Borat's English bro appears and wins a bet to win him much more
than his fine. That plus life imprisonment, a modeling career
with Vic Secret, and an Aston Villa season ticket.
|
I missed the damn second goal has I was using a long lens and
it's dark in there. It was good for this shot though, as Larsson
heads for the Bull Ring to celebrate. Oh happy days at St.
Andrews!

|
I have a lot of favourite shots from this great day out, but in my top 3 is this
one of young fans. It's so good to see kids following the Blues as they are the
Club's future in so many ways. I have 4 boys of my own and when they don a Blues
shirt I just melt. Yep, daft int I loike.
