Pure class, whatever your thoughts on him as a Head Coach. I won't be alone in wishing him every success in future...

This is news to me, was anyone else aware of this? When did we stop being the Hoppers and start being the Gills?

Here we go...

Not sure what to make of that. Not a Mickey Mouse source either.

As the curtain comes down on a disappointing season we welcome Doncaster Rovers to Priestfield for the final game of the season casting envious glances at their meteoric rise up the division to the cusp of a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. The whys and wherefores of the season have been done...

So far the picture is grim.

The penultimate game of a frustrating season for Gills comes this afternoon at Mansfield, a side who secured their promotion to League One next season by beating Accrington on Tuesday night. Congratulations Stags. While there remains a mathematical chance of a playoff spot it would take a...

Looking up from the foot of the form table is not the sort of place you want to be with three games of the season remaining, whatever your ambitions as a club, but sadly that's where we find ourselves as we go into our penultimate home game of the season against Barrow. The home form this...

Eleven years ago today we celebrated promotion from this rotten division after Danny Kedwell's 15th goal of the season gave us a 1-0 home win against Torquay United. Those halcyon days seem a long way off today as we make the trip to Yorkshire, we've blown our chance of promotion this season by...

After yet another goalless home performance on Friday against Crewe, we make the long trip to Harrogate today knowing that we are now in prime "must win" territory. Amazingly, our goal-shy side still retain playoff ambitions by dint of the fact that every other side aiming for seventh place is...

As Saturday's game ticked into the 73rd minute our season was effectively done, Gills staring down the barrel of a third defeat in five that would finally snuff our faint playoff hopes. Then Dieng launched a howitzer from the sun that sailed past the hapless 'keeper before the aforementioned...

It feels like a long time since the home draw with Grimsby last time out, a decent performance according to most sources, but resulting in only a second point from 12 at a time of the season where results are imperative. Today it's a long haul to the Lancashire coast to take on a 12th-placed...

Watched Coventry - Wolves yesterday, Chelsea - Leicester earlier and now United - Liverpool. As a complete neutral all three matches have been hugely entertaining despite some questionable quality at times. Some fantastic late goals too, reminded me how much I miss celebrating a crucial last...

I am aware that my last match thread catered to those of us considered to be bedwetters, so in light of Rob_b100's madness of a thread elsewhere on this fine site, and in the interests of fairness, I will endeavour to write this to lean more towards the apologist camp. Following Tuesday's...

After undertaking the longest trip of the season last Tuesday night away at Barrow, we now make the shortest to take on AFC Wimbledon at Plough Lane, desperately hoping for a bit of positive consistency to keep the smouldering embers of our fairly unconvincing playoff push alive. There are...

After two successive trips to the North-West totalling some 860 miles and three points from six, we return to Priestfield today to face a team from...the North-West in Tranmere Rovers. Last Saturday was a solid performance in trying conditions, Tuesday was a tired performance in slightly less...

The postponement of the original fixture following a soggy pitch on 9th December has resulted in Gills making two huge trips in the space of just fours days. Saturday's result and performance on another North-West mud heap was very, very impressive and built on the back of a solid home win...

Last time out we narrowly knocked over media darlings Wrexham by yet another 1-0 margin of victory which had the added bonus of annoying a fair few of their newly minted American fans into the bargain (YouTube being a post-match goldmine of US Wrexham vlogs from their game against Gill-ing-HAM)...

Right, this is going to be rush job because it's the last day of my holiday, it's snowing heavily and I want to get out there. Gills are without a win in three as we take on Hollywood FC at a sold out Priestfield today. I'm not sure of the attraction over any of the other rag-tag, average clubs...

Last time out at Newport was shit from both a performance and result perspective. Tonight we cannot afford to be shit, or we risk being turned over comfortably by a Stockport side desperate to bounce back from their own excrementable weekend result against lowly Tranmere. Stockport, despite...
