Have great memories of Ballyshannassy Park, playing Gridiron as an 18 y.o and nearly getting killed every week 😄

My main concern for the game is how well Max recovers from watching the Giro D'Italia final competitive stage last night.

Plus there's the let-down of commuting through the dreary 'sameness without theme' of an Australian city after watching the landscape of Northern Italy go past for five hours.

Hopefully it manifests in anger. A real 'I will create something beautiful today and nothing will stop me' moment.

You are correct, there is nearly no too far on this thread.

I see this post arrived below a '2 weeks later...' notice. I hope achievement of 30,000 posts hasn't been 2021-like in creating a no-more-mountains-to-climb attitude.

Back on pace and on message, please, ladies and gents!

30000 posts is just a good start.

Some credit probably should go to our former list manager Barry Prendergast, quick shoutout.

Great article by Langdon, who praises Goody and the Club Culture, for putting players’ welfare first, as evidenced by him being allowed to miss the Eagles game to attend his sister’s wedding in London.

He said the club was a great place to be and play football with as they really cared about their players.

That is a fantastic advertisement for any player thinking of moving clubs.

I read that same article and thought similar 

a really great advert for the playing group and their “culture “

Pretty ordinary behaviour by Dogs fans booing Lobb.

It could put off other players from going there and staying there.

On a different note, remember when decimate meant to destroy one tenth? I'm no good at calculating percentages but the evolution of decimate to mean largely destroy does my head in...
