![]() ![]() The BBC website has decided that Grimsby's relegation is now incontrovertibly real, and has today put the club on its presumably soon-to-be-renamed Division Three page. With Division One in England being renamed The Football League Championship and Town starting next season in something called League Two, may I be the first to suggest that the English Football League be made to join their SFA counterparts in the dock?" Consider it suggested Pete, me old mate, and put me in the witness box for the prosecution. I'll raise my boot up Brian Mawhinney's ringpiece in a minute."īob-haired Cod Almighty columnist Pete Green goes an interesting step further as he writes in to say: "It has been suggested that the Scottish Football Association be charged with bringing the game into disrepute for their endless fannying about over the no-brainer of whether the Division One champions should be allowed promotion to the SPL. And it's to 'raise the profile' of the lower leagues, apparently. The ever-excitable Miles Moss penned an email that succinctly describes the episode: "Is this a late April Fool? What, it's true? That must be the biggest pile of catsick and goatwank ever thought up. The colossally stupid idea of renaming the Football League divisions has, predictably, inspired a few Cod Almighty readers to vent their spleen via this column. ![]() But don't worry, gentle reader, none of your diarists will ever be seen in a suit. It starts by explaining that "the channel is predicated on the notion that, at any point of the day, somewhere in the world a sports story is breaking of sufficient moment to be announced immediately, in tones of gravity, by someone in a suit." Giles goes on to say that this holds true only if "you allow a groin strain picked up in training by an apprentice at Grimsby Town to be a sports story worth putting on a suit for." Cod Almighty yearns for such gossip at the moment, as RussellSladesblackandwhitearmy remains at roughly the size of a cub scout patrol. Giles Smith wrote an amusing piece in the Times yesterday on life inside the strange world that is Sky Sports News. Which describes Mr Carragher quite well, actually. 'Stubborn' and 'slow' are the words that come first. Now having been brought up in a barn with oxen and the like, your Guest Diarist feels vaguely qualified to comment on their mental strength. "Mentally he's as strong as an ox," said Michael Owen yesterday as he struggled to explain how good his Liverpool team mate Jamie Carragher really is.
