If the sewers are one of the circles of hell, they have their demons. And these demons are the police dispatched to hunt down the surviving insurrectionists. Fortunately for Jean Valjean, their efforts lack thoroughness. Even the lantern failed to expose him in the darkness, as they hurried toward Saint-Merry with its larger barricade.
Adding to the portrayal from the previous chapter, Hugo reminds us that Jean Valjean's remarkable resourcefulness wasn't an easy feat, considering he teetered on the brink of exhaustion due to 'lack of sleep and food.' The sudden emergence of the police behind him must have been extremely stressful, likely triggering flashbacks of a previous instance when the police chased him with Cosette before he reached the convent.
I love how Hugo chose to digress and explain the meaning of the word 'bousingot' as it was in 1832. It’s just so like him!

This might be short, but!
The tension around the lantern reminds me of the scene where Jean Valjean flees the Gorbeau house (the first time): I don’t know if it’s just a similar image of Valjean hiding in the shadows, but it feels similarly suspenseful. There is also, of course, dog imagery, as he hides from the “bull-dogs” and the “watch dogs” that hunt for those who have crossed societal/political lines in the sewers.
“From time to time, parties re-sole their old insults. In 1832, the word bousingot formed the interim between the word jacobin, which had become obsolete, and the word demagogue which has since rendered such excellent service.”
This is just a very funny way of phrasing a change in terminology.
It’s absolutely terrifying that the bullet came so close to Valjean! As long-winded as Hugo can be, he really does get tense moments, too; this entire section is so scary, which makes it quite fun to read.
It’s also fascinating to know that Valjean was saved not by his escape skills here, but by the flaws of the sewer itself, with the system he’s stumbled into being too much of a hassle to explore. The possibility of armed people is a threat as well, to be fair, but the chaos of the sewer - much like other harsh environments, like the forest or the convent - proves to be beneficial to Valjean in that it destabilizes hierarchies, giving him a chance to prevail in a way he wouldn’t in “organized society.” The sewer is still dangerous; of that, there’s no doubt. Still, it’s the scariest and darkest place Valjean has chosen in a long line of shady places that offer cover.

if there was anything to do, and any "bousingot" to track out, it was in that quarter. From time to time, parties re-sole their old insults. In 1832, the word bousingot formed the interim between the word jacobin, which had become obsolete, and the word demagogue which has since rendered such excellent service.

Brickclub 5.3.2 “Explanation”
I don’t know what to make of this chapter.
We learn that the police in the sewer are part of a city-wide patrol looking for escaped bousingots--Hugo pauses to define the word, here, one that’s come up before in this book, but not often--with soldiers on the surface and police in the sewers.
(If I’d had to guess where in Les Miserables Hugo defined the word bousingot for the reader, I absolutely wouldn’t have put it here, after the rebellion is done, after all our favorite countercultural rebels are dead.... but maybe that’s because I’m too used to Borel reclaiming it, and normal people think of it as a pejorative term. Here, it’s the police’s term for the insurgents.)
Valjean isn’t seeing or thinking clearly--the lantern is a distant red light, and he makes out phantoms around it, and he knows to hold still and hide. But he hasn’t put together what or who it is, which is more indication than we usually get about how far out of it he is.
What he sees is a nightmare version of what he saw the night he and Cosette fled the Gorbeau house:
Jean Valjean saw these goblins form a kind of circle. These mastiffs' heads bunched together and whispered.
Once again, he’s on the run, and he can see the police gathered in an open square discussing how to catch him. Once again, the police make the mistake of staying in the light, which makes them easy to see and Valjean difficult to see. This time, in this bad light and bad state of mind, they’re not people but demonic guard dogs. And he’s not carrying Cosette, the living child he loves, he’s carrying Marius, her nearly-dead boyfriend whom he hates. And he’s not on the surface, heading towards burial, he’s already buried.
Javert failed that night because he was too thorough: he checked all the corners, giving Valjean time to climb the wall. Tonight, the police fail because they’re not thorough enough.
But I’m not sure how to put it all together. The police get a whole chapter here, but not much happens in it. We see again the ambiguous status of the sewer--the police can come here, but they don’t own this place the way they own the streets; they’re visitors here, and they’re awkward at it and out of their depth.
There’s something here about the inverted convent chase, but I’m not putting together what or why.

FOM BLOG: GILLINGHAM 3 - 3 SOUTHEND UNITED
My Thoughts On Gillingham V Southend United………………
I Left My House at 12.50PM in the afternoon and I made sure I had the following things on me,,,,,,,, (Money, Keys, My Gillingham Season Ticket, My Samsung Galaxy S2, Spare Battery, My Gillingham Jacket, Spare Lids, My Gillingham Scarf, My Gillingham Bag, Football Programmes, A Packet Of Polo’s, Pad and Pens, and a 500ML Bottle Of Coca Cola) - and I made sure I had everything on me before making the fifteen / twenty minute walk from my house to Rainham Train Station, and once I arrived at Rainham Train Station at 13.10PM, I brought My Return Train Ticket To Gillingham for £4, And just before leaving My House, I had posted the following status updates on Facebook And Twitter,,,, On My Way To Priestfield Stadium as Gillingham take on Southend United, Hopefully, Gills Pick Up All Three Points Today - COME ON YOU GILLS
I got on The 13.15PM Train, and checked for any messages on Facebook and Twitter, I got a few likes and feedback from tweets I had sent earlier in the day, and I was in A Conversation On Twitter Discussing How Gillingham Should Line Up Against Southend United, Should Liam Nash Start, and the importance on systems and formations, which is what the bulk of our conversation on Twitter Was About, I had the opinion that Gillingham would stick with the same 5.3.2 / 3.4.1.2 Formation, Simply Because we are trying to integrate so many new signings into The First Team and we have signed players specifically to fit into this formation, But we will have to wait and see on how Gillingham will line up against Southend United.
I arrived at Gillingham Train Station at 13.20PM and made my way towards Priestfield Stadium, and I saw A Lot Of Southend United Supporters Around The Ground so Southend United should travel in excellent numbers and there should be a very good turnout at Priestfield Stadium for what is essentially a derby, there isn’t any animosity between both clubs, because there have been so many players who have played for Gillingham And Southend United, and I am going to name A Starting Eleven Of Players Who Have Played For Both Clubs……  GK Simon Royce RB Sean Clohessy CB John Egan CB Adam Barrett LB Paul Clarke RM Jermain McGlashan CM Mark Bentley CM Kevin Maher LM Myles Weston ST David Crown ST Andy Thompson - It Isn’t Surprising that there have been so many players who have played for Gillingham and Southend United, given that both clubs are so close to each other geographically.
I arrived out-side Priestfield Stadium at 13.30PM, And The Southend United Team Coach had just turned up and Southend United had plenty of supporters around The Team Coach and this only strengthened my belief that this should be a decent turnout, Southend United Home And Away is one of many reason’s why it was so important that Gillingham retained there League One Status Last Season, and you want to see the team you support competing in the highest possible division that you can play in, for Gillingham, League One is Higher Then League Two, so we want to see Gillingham Playing In League One.
I queued Up In The Ticket Office To Buy My Ticket For Oxford United Away - £24 For One Adult Ticket is now the norm for League One Ticket Prices - Diane intends to drive to Oxford United and AFC Wimbledon, and Oxford United Away Is On The Saturday, With AFC Wimbledon Away On The Tuesday Night, and with only Seventy Four Seated Tickets On Sale For AFC Wimbledon Away, we will have to move quickly to snap up those tickets, because standing at AFC Wimbledon is horrible, and as I mentioned to Diane, When I have done Best Ground / Worst Ground Reviews, I cannot put AFC Wimbledon’s Ground as the worst ground because there rise up through the divisions has been so remarkable, our opponents this afternoon have one of the worst stadiums in League One, because the away end at Roots Hall is horrible with the supporting pillars, the over hanging roof and the speakers all hindering your view on the pitch, Southend United are in a similar situation to Gillingham in that we’re both trying to move to newer stadiums with much larger capacities, and better facilities, especially parking facilities because Roots Hall and Priestfield Stadium are both in huge residential area’s.
After Buying Our Oxford United Tickets, Me And Diane went into The Club Shop to buy our Match-Day Programmes for £3 each before waiting outside to see if Gary was here, And Me And Diane were waiting for the team news to come through, and the first bit of news we saw on Twitter was that Liam Nash was starting, finally, I think Liam Nash is over-duo A Starting Appearance For Gillingham having come on as substitute in all four previous fixtures for Gillingham This Season, I just think that Liam Nash looks like A Striker, he looks like a player who is capable of getting in and behind the oppositions defence and Liam Nash just offers Gillingham something different in attack that Tom Eaves and Josh Parker do not have, We have been calling for Josh Parker not to play up-front for the past two games at least, I like Josh Parker and he is a decent footballer, I just do not think Josh Parker should play up-front for Gillingham.
Lisa, Alan and Irene spoke with Me and Diane pre-match, and we spoke about Last Saturday’s Disappointing Defeat against MK Dons and how that was our worst performance of the season, but even though that was our worst performance of the season so far, Gillingham could have picked up a point against Southend United had Josh Wright just hit the target from The Penalty Spot, to blaze the ball over the crossbar was very disappointing and those are the games where you have got to get something out of the match.
Finally, Gillingham’s Team News Appeared On Twitter, And Gillingham Lined Up As Follows,,,,,,,,, Tomas Holy (GK), Max Ehmer, Gabriel Zakuani, Alex Lacey, Luke O’Neill, Mark Byrne, Billy Bingham, Connor Ogilvie, Lee Martin, Liam Nash, Tom Eaves SUBS: Steve Arnold (GK), Ben Nugent, Scott Wagstaff, Darren Oldaker, Jake Hessenthaler, Josh Parker and Greg Cundle - It was great to see Billy Bingham back in The Starting Line Up Again, because Billy Bingham has been missing in the middle of Gillingham’s Midfield, and Liam Nash has been long over-duo A Starting Appearance For Gillingham, Formation Wise, I think Adrian Pennock will stick with The 3.5.2 / 5.3.2 Formation that we have played in every match so far.
But The Big News Was Josh Wright’s Omission From The Match-Day Squad, Now Josh Wright could be injured and this explains his absence, But My Initial Reaction is that there has been a offer accepted for Josh Wright and as The Charlton Athletic Rumours have not gone away all summer, then I believe that Charlton Athletic have made A Offer that was too good to turn down, and if that is the case then we’re not in a position to turn down a good fee for a player who could leave Gillingham Football Club for nothing in a year’s time, A Real Shame To See Josh Wright leave Gillingham Football Club, but if the offer is deemed acceptable, then we’re not in a position to turn down a good transfer fee for Josh Wright.
Alan and Irene headed round while Me and Diane waited for Gary to get his thoughts pre-match, and I didn’t see Gary before the game, Charles Breakspear was Referee For Gillingham V Southend United and he is another Referee we need to look out for, But it does appear that there are some controversial decisions being debated about in The Premier League already, As Morgan Schneiderlin was shown A Second Yellow Card when he intercepted the ball cleanly when Everton played against Manchester City On Monday Night, Before Kick Off, there were two things we were hoping for, One, Gillingham Pick Up All Three Points, and Two, The Referee isn’t taking centre stage and we’re constantly taking about refereeing decisions left, right and centre.
Diane decided to head round to her seat in The Gordon Road Stand and I headed off to the entrance for The Family Enclosure Stand, I brought one fifty / fifty match day lottery ticket, and I got speaking with A few Gillingham Supporters about Josh Wright not being in the side, and I think Josh Wright is going to sign for Charlton Athletic and this is a hypothetical scenario here, But I think Charlton Athletic have offered £50,000+ and offered a player that they don’t want but Gillingham might need to try and get the deal done, and possibly Charlton Athletic might offer A More Creative Midfielder Or A Striker in exchange to try and get the deal done, But With Josh Wright not being in the squad, I think it looks very likely that A Transfer Fee has been concluded for Josh Wright.
I also got speaking with Martin pre-match who predicted a draw or Southend United nicking a winner, With Gillingham beating Southend United three times last season, The Double In The League, and The League Cup First Round Win, I could see Gillingham keeping that run going and possibly nicking the winner to get our season off and running, Gillingham do have a decent record against Southend United, and I am hoping that record carries on this afternoon.
I mentioned to Martin that at MK Dons, I could hear Colin a few rows behind me and there was a altercation between Gillingham Supporters as we were really struggling during a dreadful spell in the second half, When Colin arrived, he mentioned it was a disagreement with elderly supporters who told Colin, and other fans, that you should back Adrian Pennock 110%, But this was during a spell during the match where change was needed and something needed to change, If you spoke to every Gillingham Supporter, most, if not all have there question marks over Adrian Pennock, but at the same-time realise that he is working with a much lower playing budget and at least has addressed the defensive problems, we need to try and resolve the situation in attack, because Gillingham need to start getting themselves on the score-sheet, and we will probably need to score at least twice to try and pick up all three points against Southend United At Priestfield Stadium.
Looking around the ground, the turnout was really poor, and Gillingham V Southend United Is A Derby Game Essentially, I haven’t realised that it was Bank Holiday Weekend which might well explain the poor attendance, but if attendances keep dropping, the playing budget will be cut to cover costs, which means the likelihood to sign better quality players looks less and less likely, It’s going to be a difficult season this season, Southend United have brought decent numbers with them to Priestfield Stadium, and you look at the players Phil Brown has signed, he has built a side that are pushing for A Playoff Place In League One, they look like they are going to be a strong out-fit in League One This Season.
Colin added that Liam Nash is either going to be inspired to play exceptionally well, or, the step up in class is there for all to see, and we were hoping for the former over the latter, and hopefully the big man, little man combination up-front will work successfully, And Tom Eaves and Liam Nash will give Gillingham more of a balance in attack, although, we are hoping to see these two get more goal-scoring opportunities and some service provided to them in open play.
Colin and Martin went to there seats, while I went to my seat in The Medway Stand as both teams walked out on to the pitch at Priestfield Stadium, the atmosphere raised in volume around the ground as this crucial League One Encounter is about to get underway, Thankfully, Referee Charles Breakspear didn’t switch ends, meaning that both teams will be kicking towards the ends there supporters are situated in The Second Half, As Gillingham will kick towards The Rainham End, and Southend United will kick towards The Brian Moore Stand, I did think for a moment that Referee Charles Breakspear was going to switch ends, but he didn’t and Gillingham will be kicking towards The Brian Moore Stand In The First Half.
Hopefully, Gillingham can finally get there season back on track with a win against Southend United and start this run of three home matches in a row with our first win from these three important home fixtures, Three Points Today will do very nicely - COME ON THE GILLS!!!!!!!!!!
FIRST HALF:
And Southend United make an incredible fast start to this match as Jason Demetriou has whipped in an dangerous in-swinging cross from the right side of the pitch and already Tomas Holy has been called into action to punch the ball clear and away from danger and Luke O’Neill reacts quickest to get to the loose ball and play the ball down the line towards Lee Martin.
In The Third Minute Of The Match, And Southend United could have scored a very controversial opening goal, As Southend United have the pace to hit Gillingham on the counter attack as Jermaine McGlashan goes on a driving run forward down the right side of the pitch, and Connor Ogilvie has come across, put himself in-between Jermaine McGlashan and the ball and Connor Ogilvie is clipped and brought to the ground, and every Gillingham Supporter was expecting a free kick to be awarded in our favour, but no free kick was awarded, much to our irritation, and now Jermaine McGlashan is basically through on goal and Jermaine McGlashan see’s his shot towards goal saved by Tomas Holy towards the near post and Gillingham survive a real scare, But Referee Charles Breakspear should have awarded Gillingham A Free Kick For Jermaine McGlashan’s Foul On Connor Ogilvie, in the aftermath of that chance for Jermaine McGlashan, Michael Timlin is penalised for his challenge on Lee Martin and finally Gillingham are awarded A Free Kick, but had Jermaine McGlashan scored that one on one effort, then every Gillingham Supporter would have been infuriated.
And From The Resulting Free Kick, Gillingham came close to opening the scoring, as Tomas Holy manages to pick out Luke O’Neill down the right side of the pitch in Southend United’s Final Third With A Fantastic Pass, and Luke O’Neill brings the ball down with his first touch and manages to clip the ball over Stephen Hendrie’s Attempted Challenge, and Luke O’Neill just about manages to beat The Southend United Left Back to the ball and Luke O’Neill see’s his fiercely struck shot towards goal saved by Mark Oxley and John White manages to get the ball partially clear and away from danger, but the second ball falls kindly to Lee Martin, who brings the ball down nicely with his first touch before playing a neat one / two with Liam Nash, and Lee Martin fires a curling effort over Southend United’s Crossbar - A Good Start To The Match From The Gills.
Five Minutes Into The Match, and Connor Ogilvie plays a long pass down the line which picks out Liam Nash down The Gordon Road Stand / Brian Moore Stand Side Of The Pitch, and Liam Nash’s First Time Hooked Cross goes out of play for A Southend United Goal-Kick, But A Minute Later, And Gillingham are putting Southend United under a lot of pressure, and Liam Nash plays the ball through to Lee Martin down by the byline down The Gordon Road Stand / Brian Moore Stand Side Of The Pitch, And Lee Martin has fired in an dangerous low cross which is well defended at the near post by Anton Ferdinand, who slides in to clear the ball out of play for A Gillingham Corner Kick, and The Gills could well open the scoring from the resulting corner.
And that is almost precisely what happens, as Lee Martin whips in an dangerous in-swinging cross into the heart of Southend United’s Penalty and Max Ehmer climbs highest to header the ball wide of Mark Oxley’s Left Hand Post, another good goal-scoring opportunity for The Gills and this is precisely what we wanted to see from Gillingham straight from the kick off, on the front-foot, creating goal-scoring opportunities and asking questions of Southend United’s Defence Early On.
Eight Minutes Into The Match, and Gillingham continue to build on this promising start to the match as Mark Byrne plays the ball forward to Liam Nash, who takes a touch to control the ball before playing out-wide to Luke O’Neill, who has whipped in an dangerous in-swinging cross towards the back-stick, and Tom Eaves has climbed highest to header the ball over Mark Oxley’s Crossbar, another decent goal-scoring opportunity for The Gills and we have probably seen more goal-scoring opportunities in The First Eight Minutes then we saw throughout the entire match against MK Dons at Stadium MK The Previous Saturday.
A Minute Later, and Southend United Have A Throw On Down The Left Side Of The Pitch, and Stephen Hendrie has thrown the ball down the line and Alex Lacey has headed the ball clear and out of play for A Southend United Throw On, And From The Resulting Throw On, Stephen Hendrie has thrown the ball short to Michael Kightly, who plays a one touch layoff out-wide to Stephen Hendrie, who see’s his first time cross charged down by Luke O’Neill.
And From The Resulting Throw On, Instead of putting Gillingham’s Defence Under Pressure, It Is Gillingham who are looking to hit Southend United On The Counter Attack, as Luke O’Neill nips in to intercept the ball and play the ball behind him towards Alex Lacey by the byline by The Medway Stand / Rainham End Side Of The Pitch In Gillingham’s Final Third, and Alex Lacey has cleared the ball long down-field, and Tom Eaves has headed the ball down into Mark Byrne’s Path, and Mark Byrne has managed to play the ball through to Liam Nash, But Referee Charles Breakspear had already penalised Michael Timlin for his challenge on Mark Byrne and that free kick decision was frustrating because Liam Nash had possession of the ball and was looking to continue Gillingham’s Attack, Michael Timlin was booked for his challenge on Mark Byrne, and you do wonder how many yellow cards we are going to see throughout the entire match ???
And From The Resulting Free Kick, Alex Lacey clips the ball down the line towards Liam Nash, who wins the aerial challenge up against Michael Kightly, and Liam Nash reacts quickest to slide in on the deck to not only keep the ball in play and prevent the ball going out of play for A Southend United Goal-Kick, But Liam Nash does brilliantly to win Gillingham A Free Kick Down The Right Side Of The Pitch, as Liam Nash draws the foul from Michael Kightly, Fantastic tenacity from Liam Nash and it is a passage of play like this which is why Gillingham Supporters have been so desperate for Liam Nash to start in recent weeks.
And Gillingham had the chance to open the scoring from the resulting free kick, as Billy Bingham has fired in an dangerous cross / shot, hard and low across the face of goal and John White has booted the ball clear for Southend United and Mark Byrne has headed the ball back into the heart of Southend United’s Penalty Area, But The Linesman Down The Medway Stand / Brian Moore Stand Side Of The Pitch had his flagged raised as Lee Martin was flagged for standing in an offside position - This Has Been A Very Promising Start To The Match For Gillingham and something to build on.
This match really has started at one hundred miles A Hour, Because Southend United are on the front-foot and Luke O’Neill times his challenge to perfection on Marc-Antoine Fortuné, and Luke O’Neill needed to time that challenge to perfection as well, and Alex Lacey kicks the ball long down-field and Tom Eaves gets the faintest of touches to flick the ball on into Liam Nash’s Path, who runs down the right side of the pitch in possession of the ball, and Liam Nash waits for support, checks the ball back, and Lee Martin whips in an dangerous in-swinging cross which is comfortable for Mark Oxley to save, but again, this is showing that Gillingham are on the front-foot and it is something to be positive about.
But Southend United do give us a reminder to be wary of them in attack, Jermaine McGlashan has been a threat for Southend United, and The Former Gillingham Winger has whipped in an dangerous in-swinging cross towards the back-stick and Alex Lacey has only partially cleared the ball away from danger, and Stephen Hendrie plays the ball inside to Simon Cox right on the edge of Gillingham’s Penalty Area, and Simon Cox tee’s up Marc-Antoine Fortuné to hit a fiercely struck shot that thankfully hit the back of The Rainham End and not the back of the net - A Early Warning Sign From Southend United - and with Marc-Antoine Fortuné and Simon Cox In Attack, and Michael Kightly and Jermaine McGlashan out-wide, then we have got plenty to be concerned about as far as Southend United’s Firepower is concerned.
Southend United are really pushing for that opening goal of the game, and Gabriel Zakuani makes a fantastic block to prevent Marc-Antoine Fortuné from getting a shot off on goal, and the follow up effort from Michael Kightly is then blocked by Alex Lacey, and finally, the cross Stephen Hendrie towards the back-stick is over-hit and runs out of play for A Gillingham Goal-Kick, Desperate Defending From The Gills, but desperate defending has ensured that Southend United do not open the scoring.
But Southend United do open the scoring in controversial circumstances, Jason Demetriou plays the ball back to John White, who is forced to pass the ball back to Mark Oxley, and Liam Nash is charging The Southend United Goalkeeper Down and this forces Mark Oxley to quickly clear the ball down-field down the left side of the pitch, and Mark Oxley’s rushed clearance actually turns into a decent pass into Stephen Hendrie, and Stephen Hendrie chests the ball down before hooking the ball over his shoulder as Luke O’Neill looks to close The Southend United Left Back Down, and Stephen Hendrie’s hooked pass is aimed towards Marc-Antoine Fortuné, But Alex Lacey gets to the ball first and hooks the ball over his shoulder to get the ball partially clear and away from goal, However, Simon Cox manages to bring the ball down with his first touch and play the ball out-wide to Michael Kightly on the left wing, and Michael Kightly takes a touch to control the ball, gets a lucky ricochet off Alex Lacey before running down the left wing to get to the loose ball ahead of Gabriel Zakuani, and Michael Kightly checks back inside and whips in an sensational cross and Max Ehmer can only partially header the ball clear to Jermaine McGlashan at the back-stick, and Jermaine McGlashan chests the ball down and Jermaine McGlashan see’s his driven shot towards goal loop up into the air off Connor Ogilvie and I thought that Tomas Holy was fouled by Ryan Leonard, who manages to react to the second ball quickly ahead of Alex Lacey to hook the ball over his shoulder and over Tomas Holy’s Head and despite the protests from Gillingham Supporters, the goal stands and Southend United have taken the lead, and that is a real shame, because Gillingham have played really well so far, and probably the best we have played attack wise all season, but when you are on top, you have got to take your chances and Gillingham haven’t done that, but I do have question marks over the goal and whether that was a foul on Tomas Holy ???
Now Gillingham face an uphill battle to try and turn this match on it’s head, especially as Gillingham have yet to find the back of the net all season, Gillingham now need to score twice to try and get something out of the game, because you do wonder how many times Southend United are going to get themselves on the score-sheet throughout the entire match ???
Twenty Three Minutes Into The Match, and John White has been penalised for his challenge on Tom Eaves, But Southend United had the golden opportunity to double there advantage, As Gabriel Zakuani’s cross-field pass picks out Michael Kightly, who is now baring down on to Gillingham’s Goal and Stephen Hendrie takes over possession of the ball, and The Southend United Left Back see’s his shot towards goal blocked by Gabriel Zakuani, and the ricochet falls kindly into Simon Cox’s Path, and Simon Cox cannot hit the target with his follow up effort towards goal and that is a massive let off for Gillingham, and A Huge Let Off For Gabriel Zakuani as well, who will be breathing a huge sigh of relief.
Twenty Six Minutes Into The Match, And Southend United are on the front-foot yet again, Southend United Goalkeeper Mark Oxley kicks the ball long down-field and Billy Bingham wins the initial aerial challenge and Marc-Antoine Fortuné brings the ball down and retains possession of the ball before playing the ball back to Jason Demetriou, who clips the ball down the line towards Jermaine McGlashan and Connor Ogilvie manages to get himself in-between the ball and Jermaine McGlashan, and Jermaine McGlashan’s persistence forces Connor Ogilvie to concede the corner kick.
And Southend United came close to doubling there advantage from the resulting corner kick, as Ryan Leonard whips in an dangerous in-swinging cross and Tomas Holy comes off his goal-line and completely misses the ball, and Marc-Antoine Fortuné brings the ball down and lays the ball of to Anton Ferdinand who fires a first time effort over Gillingham’s Crossbar and into the back of The Rainham End, I am not sure who Tomas Holy is having ago at, because if you attempt to go for a cross, you either catch it or punch it clear, completely missing the ball is Tomas Holy’s Error and one he needs to avoid making throughout the rest of the match.
A Minute Later, and Gabriel Zakuani times his challenge to perfection, But Gillingham really are under the cosh and ever since Southend United have scored, the visitors have been in the ascendency, and Gillingham really are struggling to get a foot-hold into the game at the moment, and fouls and free kicks are starting to slow the pace and tempo of this match down, as Billy Bingham and Luke O’Neill are both penalised for there challenges on Marc-Antoine Fortuné, Gillingham just cannot find that out-ball at the moment.
And when we did have the chance to get the ball forward, Tom Eaves heavy touch as Gillingham are looking to counter attack hasn’t helped at all, Thirty Four Minutes Into The Match, and Luke O’Neill is forced to concede A Corner Kick at the back-stick as Southend United are really on top at this present moment in time, and Southend United look to cause Gillingham some problems defensively from the resulting corner kick as Michael Kightly fires in a dangerous low cross and Tomas Holy does brilliantly to dive low and gather the loose ball, however, Tomas Holy tries to quickly distribute the ball quickly and this goes towards Gillingham’s Detriment, as Southend United win possession of the ball back and Marc-Antoine Fortuné now looks to get a shot off on goal and Tomas Holy is forced to make another save, this time with his feat and the ball does spin up into the air and out of play for another corner kick, It’s Going To Be A Very Long First Half For The Gills.
The Corner Kick didn’t come to anything, But Max Ehmer’s pass back to Tomas Holy was horrific, passing the ball back to your goalkeeper with the ball bouncing at mid-height off the turf means that Tomas Holy has no other choice but to kick the ball into the stands, and we as Gillingham Supporters are getting frustrated and we’re getting irritated, and that’s a real shame, because for the first fifteen minutes, Gillingham were superb, but once the goal went in, Southend United look a completely different side and Gillingham have dropped a level or two.
And Southend United are looking to create a decent goal-scoring opportunity from the resulting throw on, as Simon Cox throws the ball back to Jason Demetriou, who takes a touch to control the ball, and Jason Demetriou takes a touch to control the ball, hook the ball over Liam Nash’s Head, runs into a more central position on the pitch before passing the ball out-wide to Stephen Hendrie, who takes a touch to control the ball before whipping in a high and hanging cross into the heart of Gillingham’s Penalty Area, and Marc-Antoine Fortuné’s header is on target and Tomas Holy dives low to his left to make a solid save.
And we started to see a bit more from Gillingham in a attacking sense, Because In The Thirty Seventh Minute, Luke O’Neill whips in an dangerous in-swinging cross towards the back-stick towards Lee Martin, and although Lee Martin doesn’t get to the ball, his presence forces Anton Ferdinand to knock the ball out of play for A Gillingham Corner - COME ON GILLS!!!!!!, Ws My Response - And From The Resulting Corner Kick, Lee Martin has whipped in an dangerous in-swinging cross which is cleared at the near post by John White, and the second ball comes back towards Lee Martin, who see’s his second cross charged down by Stephen Hendrie,.
But Gillingham do have A Throw On In Southend United’s Final Third Down The Medway Stand / Brian Moore Stand Side Of The Pitch, Mark Byrne has hurled in an dangerous long throw into the heart of Southend United’s Penalty Area and Max Ehmer manages to flick the ball on and Jason Demetriou headers the ball partially clear and away from danger and Gabriel Zakuani loses out to Marc-Antoine Fortuné in the air, and from here, Southend United turn defence into attack as Simon Cox brings the ball down and threads the ball out-wide to Jermaine McGlashan who sprints forward in possession of the ball and Southend United have got a four on two in attack and Jermaine McGlashan carries on his run right up to the edge of Gillingham’s Penalty Area, and Jermaine McGlashan threads the ball through to Michael Kightly on the over-lap, and Michael Kightly’s dangerous low cross is cut out by a combination of Alex Lacey and Tomas Holy, and Southend United have thankfully only been awarded A Corner Kick.
Thankfully, Michael Kightly’s in-swinging cross towards the back-stick is over-hit and runs out of play for A Gillingham Goal-Kick, and from the resulting goal-kick, it just looks more and more likely that Southend United are going to score, Tomas Holy kicks the ball long down-field and Ryan Leonard wins the aerial challenge to header the ball down-field and Marc-Antoine Fortuné plays a one touch layoff into Simon Cox’s Path, and Simon Cox takes a touch to control the ball before threading the ball through to Jermaine McGlashan, who is one on one with Connor Ogilvie, and Jermaine McGlashan is twisting and turning and Jermaine McGlashan shifts the ball on to his right foot and fires a driven effort towards goal which had to be tipped over the crossbar by Tomas Holy, And Southend United have been awarded another corner kick.
Thankfully, Southend United do not create a goal-scoring opportunity of note from the resulting corner kick, But In The Fortieth Minute, and Josh Parker comes on for Max Ehmer in what was a combination of an enforced substitution and a tactical substitution, I thought this change meant that Luke O’Neill was going to move inside to Right Centre Back with Josh Parker playing at Right Wing Back, But I stand corrected, it looks like Gillingham are going to line up with A 4.4.2 Formation, and play with Josh Parker and Lee Martin on either flank, and Liam Nash and Tom Eaves will continue to lead the line for Gillingham in attack.
And that change just appeared to give Gillingham a lift, as Marc-Antoine Fortuné is penalised for his challenge on Josh Parker In The Forty Second Minute, And Gillingham have the chance to go in at the break on level terms, and from the resulting free kick, Lee Martin has aimed an dangerous in-swinging cross towards the back-stick and Alex Lacey has header the ball back across the face of goal and Mark Oxley has made a routine save for Southend United.
And In The Forty Fourth Minute, Gillingham were awarded another free kick, Gillingham have A Throw On Down The Left Side Of The Pitch, and Connor Ogilvie throws the ball short to Billy Bingham, who played the ball short out-wide to Connor Ogilvie, and Jermaine McGlashan has been penalised for his challenge on The Gillingham Left Back, and Gillingham have the chance to get the match back on to level terms from the resulting free kick, and that is almost precisely what happens as well, as Lee Martin whips in an dangerous in-swinging cross and Liam Nash scoops to allow the ball to go over his head, and the ball deflects off Ryan Leonard and the ball then hits Tom Eaves and goes out of play for A Southend United Goal-Kick, that free kick routine almost came off for The Gills.
And The Final Noteworthy Moment Of The First Half, Was Gabriel Zakuani being in the right place at the right time to clear the ball away from danger, and Referee Charles Breakspear blows his whistle for Half Time, and Southend United’s Controversial Opening Goal is the difference between the two sides, although, Southend United should have extended there lead further, and 1-0 gives us hope that Gillingham can get themselves back into this match, possibly nick the draw, or, even go on and win the game from a losing position.
HALF TIME: GILLINGHAM 0 - 1 SOUTHEND UNITED
Colin, Martin and myself spoke about The First Half in all of it’s entirety as we gave our own analysis of the mach so far, and Southend United should be out of sight and they should be two or three goals to the good now, and it is a shame that we are saying that, because for the opening fifteen minutes Gillingham were on the front-foot and our performance levels were very good, Gillingham were asking Southend United a few question marks defensively and we were causing them problems at the back, but as soon as Southend United opened the scoring, they flipped a switch and have been dominate from then onwards, and Gillingham have been disappointing.
The goal we conceded was debatable, It could well have been given as a foul on Tomas Holy but the foul not being given allowed Southend United to nip in and score a very soft goal, although I have question marks about the goal being awarded in the first place, But ever sine the goal has gone in, Jermaine McGlashan, Anton Ferdinand, Marc-Antoine Fortuné and Michael Kightly have all had chances to score, and the 1-0 score-line gives us as Gillingham Supporters some hope that things can change and that Gillingham can get something out of the game.
We spoke about Tom Eaves performance so far, which has been largely hit and miss, at times in The First Half, Tom Eaves First Touch was heavy and he couldn’t retain possession of the ball, and there were other times where Tom Eaves has flicked the ball on and put himself about, his strike partner Liam Nash has been tenacious, full of running and endeavour and he could well be a hidden gem for Gillingham Football Club This Season.
Colin added that he has got huge sympathy for Adrian Pennock, because The Playing Budget has been cut, This Time Last Season, Gillingham were signing the likes of Billy Knott, Paul Konchesky, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Scott Wagstaff, Jamie O’Hara and Chris Herd, Now, we’re signing players like Alex Lacey, Tom Eaves, Billy Bingham, Steve Arnold, Ben Nugent and Liam Nash, now, of course these players will all appreciate being at Gillingham and they will perhaps try harder then some of our marquee signings last year, But Colin believes that this is A League Two Squad Playing In League One, and we clearly need that stardust, and players who are capable of producing magical moments that turn defeats into draws, and draws into win are the type of players who cost a lot of money - money, which it appears that Gillingham do not have at this present moment in time.
It’s clear for all to see that Gillingham can do with signing another striker, and we can do with another creative player in midfield, whether we have the money to sign both players, or, Josh Wright needs to leave to finance the new additions will be something we will find out over the next week or so, Hopefully, Adrian Pennock can bring in a few more players to strengthen the squad and strengthen area’s of the team that clearly need improving, I realise that we can rely on The Free Agent Market if we need further additions, but I think there are players available on loan that we’re eager to sign.
With Josh Parker coming on for Max Ehmer, I don’t think we will see Adrian Pennock making a second substitution at half time, Now we do have Scott Wagstaff on the bench if we need to make a change to try and get ourselves back on to level terms, and maybe we will see Scott Wagstaff come on for Gillingham during The Second Half, If someone were to ask you to name Gillingham’s Best Player In The First Half, then that would be difficult to answer, because everyone has been so hit and miss throughout the first forty five minutes so far.
I also spoke to David briefly during the half time interval, and David mentioned that he would take a draw now, and I guess with Gillingham 1-0 down and the score-line could be so much more worse, then yeah, I would take a draw as well, But I am hoping that Gillingham can turn things around and picking up all three points from a losing position - COME ON THE GILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SECOND HALF:
Both Teams came out on to the pitch at the start of the second half, and neither Southend United Manager Phil Brown, or Gillingham Manager Adrian Pennock made any half time substitutions at the break, with both manager’s looking to save there substitutions for later on in the match, And Straight after the re-start, Luke O’Neill is penalised for his challenge on Michael Kightly, even though Luke O’Neill intercepted the ball first, it’s going to be a very difficult second half for The Gills.
Gillingham win A Throw On In The Forty Sixth Minute Of The Match, And Mark Byrne has thrown the ball long down the line and Tom Eaves has won the initial aerial challenge and forced Southend United Defender Stephen Hendrie to concede A Corner, and the atmosphere from The Rainham End raises in volume as we are anticipating Gillingham pulling the game back on to level terms, And From the Resulting Corner Kick, Lee Martin has whipped in an dangerous in-swinging cross and Josh Parker cannot direct his header on target - but this is something to build on for The Gills.
However, Southend United were looking to double there advantage a minute later, as Marc-Antoine Fortuné is twisting and turning in possession of the ball in Gillingham’s Final Third, and Marc-Antoine Fortuné see’s his fiercely struck effort towards goal blocked by Gabriel Zakuani, and Luke O’Neill kicks the ball into Michael Kightly and the ball ricochets off The Southend United Winger out of play for A Gillingham Goal-Kick.
In The Fiftieth Minute, Mark Byrne slides in to intercept the ball and Mark Byrne clearly wins the ball ahead of Michael Timlin and Southend United have been awarded A Free Kick, I thought that was a appalling decision from Referee Charles Breakspear, and from the resulting free kick, Michael Kightly has floated in an dangerous in-swinging cross which Tomas Holy has done really well to gather, however, Tomas Holy has quickly distributed the ball to A Southend United Player, fortunately, Tomas Holy does get the ball back again, but we have seen the up’s and the down’s from Tomas Holy throughout the entire match.
Fifty Three Minutes Into The Match, and Anton Ferdinand is forced to knock the ball out of play for A Gillingham Corner Kick Down The Gordon Road Stand / Rainham End Side Of The Pitch, And From The Resulting Corner, Lee Martin quickly plays the ball short to Liam Nash, who skilfully evades 1-2 challenges from Southend United Players inside there own penalty area, But Liam Nash has overran the ball out of play for A Southend United Goal-Kick - Good Skill From Liam Nash.
Fifty Six Minutes Into The Match, and Gillingham finally score there first goal of the season and pull themselves back on to level terms, Gillingham have a throw on down the left side of the pitch in Southend United’s Final Third, And Connor Ogilvie has thrown the ball down the line towards Lee Martin, but the throw on is really poor and Jermaine McGlashan nips in there first and squares the ball short to Marc-Antoine Fortuné, who takes a touch to control the ball, and Marc-Antoine Fortuné’s attempted pass forward picks out Gabriel Zakuani, who brings the ball under his complete control, and Gabriel Zakuani takes another touch, passes the ball back to Alex Lacey, who passes the ball down the line towards Luke O’Neill, who takes a touch to control the ball, checks back inside past Michael Kightly and Luke O’Neill makes sure he has the ball under control before whipping in an dangerous in-swinging cross, but John White is in the right place at the right time to clear the ball away from danger, and the chance is still there for Gillingham, as Mark Byrne headers the ball inside to Luke O’Neill, who plays the ball out-wide to Mark Byrne, and Mark Byrne takes a touch to control the ball before whipping in an incredible cross towards the back-stick, and Tom Eaves has climbed highest to header the ball back across the face of goal, and Tom Eaves looping header has beaten the despairing dive from Southend United Goalkeeper Mark Oxley and hit the back of the net.
And that goal is precisely what Gillingham needed as well, great cross from Mark Byrne to pick out Tom Eaves and that was a fantastic header from The Towering Number Nine, We needed a response from Gillingham after a disappointing second half display in The First Half - if that makes sense - but Gillingham have made an impact in The Second Half, and now that Gillingham have pulled themselves back on to level terms, Can Gillingham go on from here and find the winning goal ???
Southend United were looking to go back in-front instantly from the kick off, and In The Fifty Seventh Minute, Southend United Goal-Scorer Ryan Leonard see’s his shot on the edge of Gillingham’s Penalty Area deflect off Gabriel Zakuani and clear Gillingham’s Crossbar, And Southend United have the chance to take the lead from the resulting corner, And from the resulting corner kick, Ryan Leonard has whipped in an dangerous in-swinging cross and Tomas Holy does brilliantly to gather the in-swinging cross first time, and Tomas Holy quickly distributes the ball out-wide to Connor Ogilvie, who takes a touch to control the ball before playing the ball forward to Liam Nash, who shows a brilliant turn of pace and skill to evade one challenge and Liam Nash manages to evade Jason Demetriou’s challenge, and Referee Charles Breakspear angered every Gillingham Supporter when he awarded Gillingham A Free Kick, Because Liam Nash was continuing his run forward in possession of the ball, and Adrian Pennock was not happy in the technical area with that decision being given.
Now Jason Demetriou was shown A Yellow Card for his challenge on Liam Nash, but Gillingham could have played on and potentially created a better goal-scoring opportunity and after play stops then Jason Demetriou could have been booked, Everyone around me said the same-thing as well, Referee Charles Breakspear should have waved on for advantage and not award the free kick.
And From The Resulting Free Kick, Connor Ogilvie has clipped in a high and hanging cross into the heart of Southend United’s Penalty Area, And Anton Ferdinand has headed the ball clear to the edge of Southend United’s Penalty Area, and Billy Bingham just gets to the ball ahead of Stephen Hendrie, and I was slightly surprised that this free kick was given in our favour, as I thought that Billy Bingham’s foot was high, But Referee Charles Breakspear does award Gillingham A Free Kick within shooting territory here, and from the resulting free kick, Lee Martin’s driven effort towards goal is blocked by Southend United’s Defensive Wall, and the ball goes out of play for A Gillingham Throw On Down The Medway Stand / Rainham End Side Of The Pitch.
And Gillingham came ever so close to turning this match on it’s head from the resulting throw on as Connor Ogilvie throws the ball short to Lee Martin, who is twisting and turning before checking the ball back towards Connor Ogilvie, who whips in an dangerous in-swinging cross towards the near post and Tom Eaves looping header beats Mark Oxley and John White is in the right place to get the ball partially clear and away from danger and Southend United do eventually clear there defensive lines, Tom Eaves just looks a completely different player since he has opened the scoring and he is looking a real threat in the air for The Gills Now.
Sixty One Minutes Into The Match, And John White is penalised for his challenge on Tom Eaves, and Josh Parker’s quickly taken free kick towards Liam Nash down the right side of the pitch see’s the flag raised against Liam Nash for Offside, and Gillingham being in the ascendency has forced Southend United Manager Phil Brown to make Southend United’s First Substitution Of The Game as Theo Robinson comes on for Marc-Antoine Fortuné, and I was surprised to see Marc-Antoine Fortuné substituted because The Former Celtic and West Bromwich Albion Striker was causing Gillingham all sorts of problems defensively throughout the entire match.
After Southend United have made that attacking substitution, Gillingham flip the match on it’s head and take the lead in The Sixty Third Minute, Southend United Have A Throw On Down The Left Side Of The Pitch, and Stephen Hendrie throws the ball down the line and Alex Lacey wins the aerial challenge and Josh Parker wins the fifty / fifty challenge with Ryan Leonard and the loose ball ricochets kindly into Billy Bingham’s Path, who takes no chances and smashes the ball long down-field which almost turns into a good pass into Liam Nash’s Path, But John White has headed the ball out-wide and away from goal, and Lee Martin just about does enough to get to the loose ball ahead of Jason Demetriou, And The Southend United Right Back has forced Lee Martin to run away from goal towards the left wing, and Lee Martin manages to back-heel the ball into Connor Ogilvie’s Path, and Connor Ogilvie manages to nip in there ahead of Jermaine McGlashan’s sliding challenge, and Connor Ogilvie goes on a driving run down the left side of the pitch, and Connor Ogilvie has whipped in an fantastic cross and Tom Eaves has done brilliantly to get ahead of Anton Ferdinand to header the ball into the back of the net with a fantastic diving header and there was nothing that Mark Oxley can do about that - great goal, and Gillingham are back in-front.
I don’t think SKY Sports do this goal justice, as they only show the cross from Connor Ogilvie and the header from Tom Eaves, because the build up play for this goal was fantastic and Tom Eaves has capped this move off with a fantastic diving header, great move, great cross from Connor Ogilvie and a great headed goal from Tom Eaves, and Now Gillingham have taken the lead, and it is now a question of can Gillingham hang on to the lead, or possibly go 3-1 up to try and pick up all three points at the fourth time of asking.
Unfortunately, Southend United respond with an instant equaliser, Tom Eaves was penalised for his challenge on Jason Demetriou, and it is from the resulting free kick on the halfway line where Southend United score the all important equaliser, Stephen Hendrie has clipped a high and hanging ball into the heart of Gillingham’s Penalty Area and Alex Lacey has headed the ball clear, and Ryan Leonard is first to react to the loose ball by playing the ball forward to Michael Kightly, who takes a touch to control the ball before running in possession of the ball towards the right side of the pitch - Gillingham’s Left - and Michael Kightly plays the ball out-wide to Jason Demetriou, who clips a high and hanging cross inside Gillingham’s Penalty Area and Luke O’Neill headers the ball clear, but Ryan Leonard beats Liam Nash to the loose ball and headers the ball forward and Michael Kightly takes a touch to control the ball before hitting a snap-shot finish into the bottom left corner of the net.
Great finish from Michael Kightly and The Former Grays Athletic and Wolverhampton Wanderers Midfielder showed his Premier League Class, as Michael Kightly was playing in The Premier League with Burnley Last Season, and that just tells you the calibre of signings that Southend United can make, because Michael Kightly is a top class player who should be playing in The Championship at the very least.
And Southend United could have gone 3-2 up in The Sixty Seventh Minute, Mark Oxley takes a few touches in possession of the ball before kicking the ball long down-field and Gabriel Zakuani wins the fifty / fifty challenge up against Theo Robinson, and Mark Byrne on the stretch gets the ball partially clear, but Michael Timlin brings the ball down and passes the ball out-wide to Jermaine McGlashan, who takes a touch to control the ball before whipping in an dangerous in-swinging cross and Simon Cox wins the aerial challenge up against Alex Lacey, and Ryan Leonard headers the ball over Gillingham’s Crossbar from inside The Six Yard Box, and that was a guilt edge goal-scoring opportunity for Southend United, and one that our opponents should be sticking into the back of the net.
A Minute Later, and Billy Bingham is penalised for his challenge on Ryan Leonard, and Simon Cox is then penalised for his challenge on Gabriel Zakuani, and Gabriel Zakuani comes off the worse in this Centre Forward V Centre Back Clash, and Gabriel Zakuani is substituted and Ben Nugent comes on in his place, Ben Nugent gets A Twenty Minute Runout for his Gillingham Debut, Gillingham have now substituted two centre backs during this match, Max Ehmer’s substitution was either enforced or tactical, Gabriel Zakuani picking up an injury was defiantly enforced.
And Gillingham survived a real scare after that substitution was made, as Michael Kightly tests Tomas Holy with a driven effort towards goal which was saved and then gathered by Tomas Holy at the second attempt, Alex Lacey is then penalised for his challenge on Michael Kightly in Gillingham’s Final Third, and now Southend United have got A Free Kick within shooting territory here, thankfully, Michael Kightly’s high and hanging cross was comfortable for Tomas Holy to deal with and this is much better goalkeeping from Tomas Holy, who has looked more assured in the past few minutes, even though his goalkeeping display has been hit and miss throughout the entire match.
Seventy One Minutes Into The Match, and Liam Nash is flagged for standing in A Offside Position, and A Minute Later, Ryan Leonard is penalised for his challenge on Ben Nugent, and Gillingham have been awarded a free kick within our own final third to relieve the pressure building on our own goal, and looking across at who Gillingham can bring on, Scott Wagstaff could always come on and play on The Right Wing and Josh Parker moves across to the left flank, Darren Oldaker can come on to give Gillingham that creative spark in midfield, or, youngster Greg Cundle comes on to strengthen Gillingham’s Attacking Options, as Gillingham can still kick on from here and find the winning goal.
However, In The Seventy Third Minute, Southend United do take the lead for the second time in this match, and Mark Oxley kicks the ball long down-field and Ben Nugent wins the initial aerial challenge and Michael Timlin cushions his header out-wide to Jermaine McGlashan, who takes a touch to control the ball, and Jermaine McGlashan takes a few touches in possession of the ball, and just when Jermaine McGlashan losses his balance, he manages to pass the ball through to Theo Robinson who takes a touch to control the ball before curling a magnificent strike towards goal which crashes against the crossbar and comes back to Simon Cox, who see’s his follow up effort brilliantly saved by Tomas Holy, and Simon Cox reacts first to score the second re-bound, although it looks like for a moment that Jason Demetriou had stuck the ball into the back of the net.
My Initial reaction was that the goal looked offside, having seen the highlights back, I have got to say that the defending from Gillingham for this goal was very disappointing and Tomas Holy can consider himself very unlucky that he couldn’t direct his save from Simon Cox’s Initial Effort off the crossbar further away from goal, Now, Gillingham face an uphill battle to try and get ourselves back on to level terms, and Gillingham have got over Fifteen Minutes Plus Stoppage Time to try and find an equaliser.
After that goal had gone in for Southend United, Greg Cundle comes on for Liam Nash, who perhaps was starting to tire after his first staring appearance for Gillingham and Liam Nash has put in plenty of effort, and Greg Cundle gets the chance to come on, and maybe, just maybe, Greg Cundle could be the here here for Gillingham, and it would be good to see Greg Cundle score his first professional goal for Gillingham.
Theo Robinson is penalised for his challenge on Billy Bingham, and Southend United Manager Phil Brown believed that Southend United should have been awarded A Free Kick, and From The Resulting Free Kick, Connor Ogilvie has aimed a high and hanging cross towards the back-stick and Anton Ferdinand takes no chances and header the ball out of play for A Gillingham Corner Kick, and the atmosphere raised around the ground and Gillingham have the chance to score an important equaliser, Unfortunately, Lee Martin’s in-swinging cross from the resulting corner kick is headed clear by John White, and Michael Kightly plays the ball forward to try and pick out Theo Robinson, and we are very lucky that Luke O’Neill manages to get himself in-between the ball and Theo Robinson on the halfway line to win Gillingham A Free Kick.
But any attempt to try and gain and advantage from the resulting free kick is wasted, as Luke O’Neill picks out Tom Eaves with a diagonal cross-field pass, But The Linesman has penalised Tom Eaves for his aerial challenge up against John White, and in the same minute, Jermaine McGlashan is penalised for his challenge on Ben Nugent, and this match has turned into fouls and free kicks being awarded to either side, which is very frustrating, and with four substitutions made so far, and the number of goals scored combined with the amount of stoppages in play, there has to be at least five minutes of stoppage time at the end of the match.
But It Is From The Resulting Free Kick Where Gillingham Have Been Thrown A Life-Line, Connor Ogilvie has clipped a high and hanging ball into the heart of Southend United’s Penalty Area and Simon Cox has won the aerial challenge up against Alex Lacey and Ben Nugent manages to bring the ball down before Theo Robinson gets to the loose ball, and Mark Byrne is brought down to the ground inside the penalty area and Referee Charles Breakspear does in-fact point to the penalty spot, in real-time, I couldn’t precisely see the penalty incident, but the highlights show that Theo Robinson has given away the penalty for a reckless challenge on Mark Byrne.
And Up Stepped Tom Eaves - who should have taken Gillingham’s Penalty Kick Against MK Dons The Previous Saturday - and Tom Eaves strikes a powerful driven effort towards the bottom right corner of the net and Southend United Goalkeeper Mark Oxley makes the save, and the ball spins back into Tom Eaves path, and Tom Eaves manages to complete his hat-trick with a tap in, and we could all blow a sigh of relief when Tom Eaves scored the equaliser for Gillingham - Perhaps that was the bit of luck that Gillingham haven’t been getting in recent matches, Can Gillingham go on and find the winner with just over ten minutes remaining ???
Theo Robinson was actually booked when he conceded that penalty and A Yellow Card was the correct punishment, also, I think the triple punishment of a sending off, a penalty and potentially a goal can no longer be given if the player hasn’t been booked already, although if a player slides in and completely takes a player out with a reckless challenge, then The Referee would have no other choice but to send the player off.
This match really is end to end now, Luke O’Neill does manage to clear Southend United’s Throw On Down There Left Side Of The Pitch - Gillingham’s Right - And Billy Bingham does relieve the pressure on Gillingham’s Defence by drawing a foul from Ryan Leonard, and I have been impressed with Billy Bingham’s Performance For Gillingham Against Southend United, With Josh Wright out of the side with this on-going transfer speculation, then it is great to see Billy Bingham back in the side and back playing in the middle of midfield for Gillingham.
And Gillingham could have made the score-line 4-3 from the resulting free kick as well, Tomas Holy has come up to the halfway line to take the resulting free kick, and Tomas Holy has hit a high and hanging diagonal ball into the heart of Southend United’s Penalty Area, and Tom Eaves climbs highest to header the ball on target and Mark Oxley makes the save for Southend United this time, But Tom Eaves has looked a completely different player in The Second Half, winning headers and being the battering ram of a centre forward we expected him to be, two cracking headers and a re-bounded effort from the penalty spot, now if Tom Eaves were to score A Fourth Goal And Score The Winner For Gillingham, then we would all be delighted.
And A Minute Later, Gillingham really did have the chance to score the winner, Mark Byrne plays the ball back to Ben Nugent, who plays the ball out-wide to Connor Ogilvie, who manages to pass the ball down the left flank to Lee Martin down the left side of the pitch, and Lee Martin is twisting and turning, and Lee Martin manages to evade Jason Demetriou and whip in an sensational cross towards the far post which clears Tom Eaves head this time, and Josh Parker comes charging in at the far post, and Josh Parker can only header the ball into the side netting - Golden Opportunity For Gillingham, And Will The Gills rule missing that goal-scoring opportunity, or, will the Gills be given another chance to make the breakthrough ???
Eighty Six Minutes Into The Match, And Stephen Hendrie is penalised and shown A Yellow Card for his challenge on Josh Parker, and from the resulting free kick, Connor Ogilvie passes the ball short towards Tom Eaves, who’s cross towards the back-stick is over-hit and Lee Martin is penalised for his challenge on Jason Demetriou, and Connor Ogilvie is also penalised and shown A Yellow Card for his challenge on Jermaine McGlashan, and Connor Ogilvie had to bring Jermaine McGlashan down as Southend United had the opportunity to hit Gillingham On The Counter Attack, Thankfully, Gillingham do at least clear the resulting free kick but we’re coming up to The Ninetieth Minute Now, and we’re waiting for The Fourth Official to show how many more minutes of stoppage time do we have until The Full Time Whistle will be blown.
And The Fourth Official has his board raised - FIVE ADDITIONAL MINUTES OF ADDED TIME!!!!!!!!! - COME ON GILLS!!!!!!!! - And Southend United look like they are going to be the side who are going to pick up all three points, as Michael Kightly manages to pass the ball in-between Luke O’Neill and Alex Lacey to pick out Theo Robinson, And The Southend United Substitute clips the ball across the face of goal, and what a huge sigh of relief that there wasn’t anyone in Southend United Colours at the back-stick to stick the ball into the back of the net, and the ball goes out of play for A Gillingham Goal-Kick.
Southend United are awarded a soft free kick in stoppage time, and from the resulting free kick, Ryan Leonard has clipped in an dangerous high and hanging cross towards the far post towards Simon Cox, But The Linesman Down The Medway Stand / Brian Moore Stand Side Of The Pitch has his flagged raised for offside, and Tom Eaves is penalised and shown A Yellow Card for his challenge on Jason Demetriou - Much To The Frustration Of Every Gillingham Supporter Inside Priestfield Stadium.
Ninety Four Minutes Into The Match, And Southend United have an incredible chance to pick up all three points, Anton Ferdinand takes a few touches in possession of the ball for Southend United on the halfway line before clipping the ball long towards Theo Robinson, But Ben Nugent does brilliantly to win the aerial challenge and Luke O’Neill takes no chances by booting the ball high and away from goal, but John White headers the ball inside to Michael Timlin, who takes a touch to control the ball, and Michael Timlin manages to skilfully evade Billy Bingham’s attempted challenge and Michael Timlin see’s his threaded through-ball ricochet off Mark Byrne into Theo Robinson’s Path, and Theo Robinson see’s his shot on target blocked by Mark Byrne, as Theo Robinson was trying to find a shooting angle, and the follow up effort from Michael Timlin was fired wide of Tomas Holy’s Left Hand Post, and Michael Timlin made a great connection with the ball to strike it cleanly, thankfully, that effort wasn’t on target.
Just when I am thinking - Yeah, I take The Point Now - Gillingham had a fantastic opportunity to possibly nick all three points at the death, Gillingham have A Throw On In Southend United’s Final Third Down The Medway Stand / Rainham End Side Of The Pitch, and Connor Ogilvie has thrown the ball down the line and John White has won the aerial challenge, but the second ball falls into Lee Martin’s Path and Lee Martin runs down the left flank to try and win a corner kick, but Jermaine McGlashan also had the pace to get to the ball first, and Jermaine McGlashan shields the ball, passes the ball inside to Jason Demetriou, and Jason Demetriou’s attempted clearance is charged down by Lee Martin and the ball ricochets into Tom Eaves path, and Tom Eaves takes a touch to control the ball and Tom Eaves passes the ball square to Greg Cundle, who takes a touch to control the ball and Greg Cundle came ever so close to placing the ball into the bottom right corner of the net, but the ball takes a slight ricochet off Michael Timlin, and Gillingham have been awarded A Corner Kick.
And From The Resulting Corner Kick, Lee Martin rolls the ball short to Luke O’Neill, who doesn’t control the ball brilliantly with his first touch, and Luke O’Neill cuts inside into an more central position and Luke O’Neill’s dangerous in-swinging cross is comfortable for Southend United Goalkeeper Mark Oxley to gather, and that was the last noteworthy moment of The Second Half, and Gillingham have managed to fight back on two occasions to earn an important point, and you have got to say that given that Southend United had re-taken the lead on The Seventy Third Minute, then this has to be considered an important point for The Gills.
FULL TIME: GILLINGHAM 3 - 3 SOUTHEND UNITED
After The Full Time Whistle has been blown after a thrilling encounter at Priestfield Stadium, Adrian Pennock went over to Tom Eaves to congratulate him for his hat-trick and applaud The Gillingham Supporters In The Rainham End, some fans have criticised this response as The Gills only drew 3-3 against Southend United, but I have also heard from those who were standing close to where Adrian Pennock was standing, and he was merely showing his backing and appreciation towards A Player who rightfully was being criticised for his first half performance, but Tom Eaves really did step it up with an sensational performance in The Second Half and Tom Eaves fully deserves his Man Of The Match Award - If Only Tom Eaves scored one more goal to help Gillingham to win 4-3 against Southend United.
After I applauded the players off the pitch, and the players deserved there plaudits for battling back to earn a point, I made sure I had everything and I went towards The Players Entrance to catch up with Gary after the game as we had so much to talk about, because that was an action packed second half performance with five goals, could have been a few more as well and this match had everything.
And the first thing that Me and Gary spoke about was the build up play to the second goal and just how brilliant that move was, which was capped off by a brilliant header by Tom Eaves, and when we spoke about the penalty, I mentioned that although Tom Eaves Penalty Was Saved, the ball ran across the line and was heading in and Eaves tapped in the re-bound, But I wonder what would have happened had Mark Byrne scored ??? - Because would Mark Byrne have surely been penalised for encroachment ??? - Thankfully, Tom Eaves scored and this was a non-debatable issue.
However, I wonder what would have happened had Mark Byrne scored, would the penalty have counted, would it have been re-taken, most likely the latter, because I did think that Mark Byrne would have been penalised for encroachment had he scored, Gary then spoke about the number of times Gillingham have won points from losing positions last season, That was one point gained from a losing position, and we are hoping that Gillingham can continue to battle back and win points throughout the season.
We then spoke about how Gillingham went from not scoring but only conceding one goal, to scoring three and conceding three in what was a very entraining game for the neutral and both teams will have been pleased with the point, even though we’re slightly disappointed not to get all three, but when your losing 3-2 with twenty minutes to go, then you gladly take the point, and a point against Southend United is still a solid point.
Me, Diane and Gary started to speak about the controversial refereeing decisions, It appears that The Third Southend United Goal Wasn’t Offside, even though there were calls at the time that it was - Having seen the highlights, it is clear for all to see that The Third Goal isn’t offside - But The First Goal was defiantly a foul on Tomas Holy, If you jump near the goalkeeper nowadays and make contact, normally your penalised, but it was such a poor goal to concede, and from there onwards, Southend United dominated the first half, because for The First Fifteen Minutes Of The Match, Gillingham were very good, The Gills were on the front-foot and causing Southend United a lot of problems, But after Southend United opened the scoring, the score-line could have been anything, and Tomas Holy had one of those games where he made goalkeeping error’s, but he also kept Gillingham in the game with some decent saves as well.
Interestingly, Max Ehmer went off, and it appears that was a combination of being a tactical decision and Max Ehmer picking up a knock, so Max Ehmer had to come off, and then Gabriel Zakuani picks up a knock so two of our senior centre back’s were injured in the same game, Thankfully, Billy Bingham can slot into the centre of defence if we need him to, but we are hoping that Max Ehmer will be back for The Shrewsbury Town Game (Gabriel Zakuani will miss this match because of International Duty), As for the match on Tuesday Night, ironically against Southend United again, I am expecting Adrian Pennock to make quite a few changes For The Football League Trophy Match.
The three of us spoke about our four league games so far, and Doncaster Rovers were newly promoted when they played us so that was a good point for Gillingham, Bradford City were one game away from The Championship Last Season so that was always going to be a tough fixture, MK Dons are one of these teams who you think will be there or thereabouts, but they can also have dreadful season’s as well, and Southend United just missed out on A Playoff Place In League One Last Season, as Gary Mentioned, four tough fixtures at the start of the season, and had those four fixtures been Shrewsbury Town, Oldham Athletic, Blackpool and Rochdale, then we might have been a hundred times more concerned, of course, two points from four games is disappointing and we need to find a way of picking up more points, and The Second Half Performance Against Southend United is encouraging, Gillingham went behind after going in-front and managed to pull the game back to a draw.
But it really does feel like Gillingham are battling and scrapping for every single point we are getting at the moment, it’s going to be a really challenging and very difficult season for The Gills This Season, I think we all expected that to be the case after what happened last season, but Gary pointed out that in 1999 / 2000, Gillingham didn’t win there first five fixtures, and then went on to achieve promotion, and while I don’t think anyone is expecting Gillingham to replicate what we managed to achieve during 1999 / 2000, I think we can look forward to a very solid season this season, and we just need to make one or two more additions to the squad.
And speaking of squads, Southend United have got players with genuine quality in there side, Anton Ferdinand, Michael Turner, Jason Demetriou, Anthony Wordsworth, Michael Kightly, Michael Timlin, Stephen McLaughlin, Marc-Antoine Fortuné, Simon Cox, and of course Jermaine McGlashan, who was constantly causing Gillingham problems with his pace and Phil Brown has assembled a very good side at Southend United, because Marc-Antoine Fortuné, Simon Cox, Anton Ferdinand, Michael Turner and Michael Kightly have all played in The Premier League, they just look like they are going to be in contention for A Playoff Spot Again This Season.
But looking at results elsewhere, and Northampton Town losing 4-1 against Peterborough United in the important derby game is a result that does Northampton Town no favours what so ever, well, both teams are close enough for this fixture to be considered a derby, and it looks increasingly likely that Justin Edinburgh will get sacked very soon, Gary mentioned that what will likely happen is that Justin Edinburgh will get sacked one game before Northampton Town Play Gillingham and A Caretaker Manager takes over and Northampton Town will likely win in that scenario.
But if Justin Edinburgh was to lose his job, then he won’t get another job from A Club Currently In League One, he has worked with two clubs in Gillingham and Northampton Town who will have given him decent playing budgets and Justin Edinburgh will need to do exceptionally well in his next job and try and get a club promoted to re-build his managerial reputation, Obviously it is early days, But Justin Edinburgh will need to win and win quickly to turn things around.
We also spoke about the young players out on loan, Tom Hadler (Gloucester City) Finn O’Mara (Folkestone Invicta) Bradley Stevenson (Cray Wanderers) and Noel Mbo (Hampton & Richmond) It’s great to see many of our young players sent out on loan to play competitive first team football, But with so many sent out on loan so quickly, it does raise the question that we might be loaning these players out to perhaps look to bring someone else in on loan.
Greg Cundle is another young player who was sent out on loan last season, but he is getting game-time in Gillingham’s First Team Now, Starting Against Reading and coming on as substitute against Southend United and almost scoring, Adrian Pennock appears to rate Greg Cundle very highly, and the Young Striker made two substitute appearances for Gillingham Last Season, and he is getting game-time for Gillingham’s First Team This Season, There are a lot of young players in and around Gillingham’s First Team, Because Darren Oldaker was an unused substitute and he is also another young promising player who is highly rated at the football club as well.
Gary headed off, pointing out that he will see us on Tuesday Night, While Me and Diane tried to find out how long Aaron Morris is going to be out for, and Aaron Morris needs to see a specialist, Gabriel Zakuani mentioned that he picked up a slight knock, but he should be OK to play, however, Gabriel Zakuani is likely to not to play against Southend United In The Football League Trophy On Tuesday Night, and that is because Gabriel Zakuani has been called up for International Duty By DR Congo.
I Re-Tweeted A Few Tweets From Adrian Pennock’s Post Match Press Conference along with the tweets from Tom Eaves Post Match Press Conference As Well, But one of the talking points that Me and Diane talked about was The Attendance, Gillingham V Southend United saw an attendance of 5,339 with 1,027 supporters turning up from Southend, this is very worrying and something to be concerned about, because Gillingham V Southend United On A Saturday Afternoon should be hitting around 6,500+ - If this is going to be the norm and Gillingham see home attendances drop, then the one thing I am concerned about is that there will be further cuts to the playing budget, which means less quality players, and it is the players with quality who make the difference on the pitch.
And Gillingham V Southend United On Tuesday Night is going to see a much smaller attendance, as Supporters are boycotting The Football League Trophy, or, they never bothered going to these matches in the first place, It isn’t like the attendances for the opening rounds of The Football League Trophy were that huge prior to the inclusion of Premier League B Teams, even though we were all against Premier League B Teams entering this competition in the first place, I would much rather see Sixteen Teams From The Conference National Enter This Competition, because Gillingham could well be playing against one of Maidstone United, Ebbsfleet United, Dover Athletic Or Bromley in the group stage.
I knew that Stephen wasn’t going to the game on Tuesday Night and I mentioned to Diane that I have got My Ticket In My Usual Seat, but because it is looking increasingly likely that there won’t be a decent turnout at Priestfield Stadium for this match, then there is a good chance that we could move around the ground and find two seats together, I also think we will see a rotated side for this match, but because I was unsure on the rules on how many changes we can make, I don’t think Gillingham will make eleven changes to The Starting Line Up, although I do think that teams’s should be allowed to do that if they choose to do so.
All in all, we were pleased with the point against Southend United, but it is going to be a season where Gillingham have got to battle and scrap for every single point we have to pick up throughout the entire 2017 / 2018 campaign, Me and Diane both knew this was going to be the case, but I don’t think either of us thought that Gillingham would still be without a win in five matches in all competitions.
I Said C Ya To Diane, before going inside Sainsbury’s To Buy One 500ML Bottle, and once I paid £1.30 for My Drink, I made My Way To Gillingham Train Station and once I arrive at Gillingham Train Station, I arrived with just a few minutes to spare before getting on The 17.57PM Train back to Rainham, I saw Eddie at the train station, and I asked Eddie “Was It A Penalty???” In-Regards To Mark Byrne being challenged inside the penalty area, and Eddie mentioned that it was A Penalty, even though the challenge was more clumsy rather then being reckless, Me, Eddie and Two others were pleased with the point, we didn’t want to see Gillingham lose three league games in a row and this draw does at least stop the rot.
I Said C Ya before getting on The 17.57PM Train, and I checked My Messages On Facebook And Twitter and responded back to any feed-back I got on Social Media, I tried ringing him a few times, and when I got through, Mum mentioned that she would want A Fish-Cake And Chips, as I was going to the chippy to get My Dinner, Once The Train Arrived Back In Rainham at 18.03PM, I went to George’s Plaice to buy A Small Portion Of Chips and Two Jumbo Plain Sausages, and A Small Portion Of Chips and One Fish-Cake for £8.50, I spoke to the owner about the result and how Gillingham had gone from not scoring to hardly conceding, to now scoring three goals in one match, but also conceding three, I also mentioned that Gillingham play against Southend United again in The Football League Trophy On Tuesday Night, and both teams are likely to make a few changes for that match.
Once My Order was ready, I collected my order and then said c ya, before getting a lift back home from Dad, who didn’t know the score for The Gillingham V Southend United Game, and Tom Eaves scoring a hat-trick and Gillingham avoiding defeat were the positives to take out of the match, but it is wins that Gillingham need, but Gillingham haven’t been thumped by anyone this season, we have been every game, but every match is going to be an uphill battle for The Gills.
We were back home at 18.20PM, A Hard Fought Point For The Gills against A Southend United Side who will be in contention for a playoff place at the end of the season, Phil Brown has built a very good side at Southend United and I think Southend United are going to be in and amongst the teams challenging for a top six finish this year, as for Gillingham, we play against the same opposition again in The Football League Trophy and follow that match up with a home game against Shrewsbury Town in the league, back to back home wins against Southend United and Shrewsbury Town would mean four points out of six in the league and a win in The Football League Trophy for The Gills - Hopefully, that is precisely what happens, and Gillingham can build on the draw against Southend United by picking up back to back wins in the next two games - COME ON THE GILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bousingot Bouzingo Bousingo
@everyonewasabird​  you mention in your post on Les MIs 5.3.2 (and I hope you don’t mind my quoting you out-of-post!, but this got. Long.), 
(If I’d had to guess where in Les Miserables Hugo defined the word bousingot for the reader, I absolutely wouldn’t have put it here, after the rebellion is done, after all our favorite countercultural rebels are dead…. but maybe that’s because I’m too used to Borel reclaiming it, and normal people think of it as a pejorative term. Here, it’s the police’s term for the insurgents.)
Indeed! “ Bouzingo/Bousingot/Bousingo”  was a word with a lot of connotations-- not unlike “ Romantic”  or, if it comes to that, “ Socialist” :P  But I think we’ve got enough versions of it for a sort of general Romantic consensus XD  :
Hugo’s version here is, of course:
From time to time, parties re-sole their old insults. In 1832, the word bousingot formed the interim between the word jacobin, which had become obsolete, and the word demagogue which has since rendered such excellent service.
“ Demagogue”  being something Hugo himself had been called by this point, and , as suggested, right in line with “Jacobin” -- it means, well , “ the reds” , and the cold war US sense of “ the reds” isn’t a bad way of translating it, either-- a term  that can mean either genuine political radicals or just someone a conservative doesn’t like for “ lifestyle”  reasons :/ Either way, fair game for a little police brutality!
More confirmation of them as Favorite Police Targets from George Sand in Horace,  via the novel’s main narrator, who is...left-sympathetic but politically more or less apathetic, like a more self-assured Grantaire, really (translation Zack Rogow, bolding/italics mine):
...They always find themselves naturally carried away by riots.  The youngest go just to observe, others go to take part; in those days almost everyone threw himself into it for a moment and then quickly withdrew, after having delivered and received a good few blows.   This activity didn't change things on the surface, and the only alteration produced by these efforts was a doubling of the fear of the shopkeepers and brutal cruelty on the part of the police. But not a single person who so casually disturbed public order back then need blush at the present hour for having had a few days of youthful warmth.   When youth cannot demonstrate the greatness and courage of its heart except by attacking that  society, that society must be evil indeed! 
They were called Bousingots because of the sailor hats of that name, made of shiny leather, which they adopted as their rallying sign.  Later they wore a scarlet headpiece in the form of a  military stocking cap ,  with a black velvet band all around it.  Pointed out again and again, to the police,  and attacked in the street by stool pigeons, they next adopted a gray  hat, but they were no less frequently rounded up and mistreated.  Their conduct has been much denounced; but I  don't think the  government has been able to  justify that of its own officers,  veritable assasssins who beat to death a good number of Bousingots while shopkeepers looked on, showing not the slightest indignation or pity. 
The name Bousingots stuck.  When le Figaro , which kept up a teasing and caustic opposition under the loyal management of M. Delatouche, changed hands, and little by little changed its stripes, the name Bousingot became an insult; after that there was no mockery too bitter or unjust with which to smear them.  But the true Bousingots remained unmoved...
The narrator’s description of a  “ true Bousingot”, his friend Jean Laraviniere,   seems familiar, as a personality:
...his face was pleasant, his  appearance original, as were his wits.  He was generous as he was brave, and that was no small measure.  His instinctual combativeness, as it's called in phrenology, drew him impetuously into every brawl, and he always brought along a cohort of intrepid friends, fanaticized by his coolheaded heroism and his bellicose joyfulness... He was a blusterer, a carouser, if you will; but what a loyal personality, what magnanimous devotion! He had  all the eccentricities of his role, complete recklessness about his impetuosity, all the swagger of his position.  You might have laughed at him; but you would have been  forced to love him. He was so good, so naive in his convictions, so devoted to his friends!
It doesn't sound too far from 
...a good-natured mortal, who kept bad company, brave, a spendthrift, prodigal, and to the verge of generosity, talkative, and at times eloquent, bold to the verge of effrontery; the best fellow possible; he had daring waistcoats, and scarlet opinions; a wholesale blusterer, that is to say, loving nothing so much as a quarrel, unless it were an uprising; and nothing so much as an uprising, unless it were a revolution; always ready to smash a window-pane, then to tear up the pavement, then to demolish a government, just to see the effect of it...a man of caprice, was scattered over numerous cafes; the others had habits, he had none. He sauntered. To stray is human. To saunter is Parisian. In reality, he had a penetrating mind and was more of a thinker than appeared to view.
He served as a connecting link between the Friends of the A B C and other still unorganized groups...
right? 
So there's an image of A Bouzingo as a character, at least:  loud, leftist to a point that would seem absurd to Reasonable, Moderate types, violent in that cause , a constant target/enemy of the police.  This seems consistent across sympathetic writers; even le Figaro, in the mocking article The Red Bouzingo, gives them the same general assessment, albeit from an unsympathetic POV:
The bousingot is inexhaustible, he will leave his mark like the camaraderie, the piqueurs and the jeunes-frances.  If one were still writing books, one would put him in the books; if one still had theaters, one would drag him over the theaters by his beard and by his hat.  The bousingot belongs to painting, statuary, to trestle-stages, to the Cockaigne pole, to Chinese shadows, to blockades at the intersection, he’s the sea-foam of politics, the flower of the ridiculous, the prototype of all exaggeration.  By nature he’s a being of 93 in politics, honorably refined for his fashion, a royal bird for his habits.  We’re waiting for Poulaine slippers.
Again: dangerously republican, dramatic to absurdity ; yet,even le Figaro concludes “ They’re not evildoers. “ 
And of course Philothee O’Neddy, the only person I’ve got quotes from who can and does actually claim the title for himself, says they were, rather intentionally, “laughable” in their exaggeration,but sincere in their politics.  
..and of course, that above all else, they were  bouzingo, no S, no T.  Ah well, what message is ever perfectly preserved across the ages? XD 
I suspect this is one of those (many) places where Hugo fully expected the audience to need no more than his nod at a term to understand both the reference and the opinion he had on the subject, but here we are now, and it’s an excuse for me to assemble a small run of references instead XD
