JAMESY – 10/10 MOTM – How dare you! How dare you not have faith in The Prestwick Pele for THE money shot. How dare you not heed the testimony of thousands of broken-hearted lassies (and a few purring MILFs…). How dare you consider the possibility that The Flash would not score. Jamesy ALWAYS scores; it is written.
🟩 “I’m just happy I could repay everybody who put their faith in me”

From the – ridiculously late – moment he took the park and re-energised a toiling Hoops power-bank, something was on the cards. It appeared that something might be the glory of his teammates as Jamesy’s directness created chance after chance for them. All spurned. But of course, in this life, some scripts are already written. Cometh the hour, cometh the top-stagger; Well, cometh the last kick in the last throes of the season.

‘Fancy it?’
Yes he did. The unreal sizzling finish gave us all an taste of how a night with Jamesy ends – edging us through his comeback games as the season ticked down, then slamming home for an explosive climax when it looked like he’d run out of steam. There wasn’t a dry eye – or seat – in the house. The drama took a twist or two but the good ghuy won out in the end and everyone got THE moment they really came for. Hail, hail Jamesy Forrest.

Just spare a thought for shocked glass collectors all over Prestwick tonight as tributes are made with Jamesy’s motto uppermost:
“Always fill yer empty pint glass…”
Continues on the next page…

They were “organised and well drilled “…now wonder they get smelled in any Euro campaign…the opposite of football…dearie me !
F’off Rodger$ … if only.
