Darlington 1 Burton 0

On the way to the match we got stuck on the M1. Closed between junctions 29 and 31 due to an accident. Must be serious. Southbound is also closed due to another accident at the same place. Coincidence? Hardly. It's your typical rubbernecking accident. I very nearly ran into the back of bloke's car on the M42 the other day because he STOPPED to look at someone being removed from a car on the opposite carriageway. What do these people hope to see? A severed head rolling across the road? A body splattered against the back of a truck? Burning severed limbs being scattered over the hard shoulder? If you want to look at that sort of stuff then why not look it up on the internet? Being a sick pervert is OK as long as you don't hurt anyone else, so stop at home on your own and look at mutilated corpses if you like but DON'T HOLD UP MY JOURNEY!

Little was I to know that the Burton performance today was destined to be a road accident of a very different kind, and that i would have to watch the whole damn thing in multi-technicolour 3D.
