Title: Town vs Mansfield
Post by: Fly on December 30, 2021, 06:01:09 PM
It is just before the Chesterfield and Mansfield  in the local cup  game.
The manager James Rowe goes into the Spireites changing room to find all his team looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Mansfield . They're shite and we can't be bothered".
Rowe looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Rowe goes out to play Mansfield by himself and the rest of the Chesterfield team go off for a few pints. After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Chesterfield  1 - Mansfield 0 (Rowe 10minutes)". He is beating the Stags all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on.
"Result from the Stadium "Chesterfield  1 (Rowe 10 minutes) - Mansfield  1"(Eustace Sherwood 89 minutes)".
They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Mansfield !!
They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them.
"I've let you down, I've let you down."
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against Mansfield  , all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end"
"No, No, I have, I've let you down...
I got sent off after 12 minutes"
