Bitter but optimistic

I don’t know which we’ve had more of - proposals for training facilities or rebuilds

It doesn’t really matter who is to blame , because if we are in the same situation this time next year ............ the last person out can turn off the lights!

I shall lend you the above whip to self administer a jolly good thrashing REd

Please close this thread before it does my head in

Well I can tell my loyal readers that I am going to The Royal Darwin Show tomorrow The bearded lady has arranged a VIP pass for me

Well so much for “ friends in need”!!

Of course this raises all sorts of phone protocol issues Suppose I .......err ... accidentally drop my phone into the lap of the young lady fortunate enough to be seated next to me? How does one proceed in this situation?

Interesting! Haven’t flown for a few months.... never been able to do so before

In flight posting ! Is this new?

Cash flow issues at The Manor bb

[censored] the bananas!!! Your poor old Uncle Bitter is currently being royally ripped off at Tulla $11 a glass for an ordinary Shiraz - FMD! The worst part is I’m sober!!! At that rate I’ll be beggared by the time I’ve quenched my thirst

My recollection is that he first got into "difficulties" when he had that wrist injury and MFC gave him leave to return home.

I didn't watch that game but just before the main game, one the commentators claimed that Liam's younger brother also played but on the opposite side. Anything known about him?

I think we are seeing that last flash of light before the sunset. I would love to see Lewis stay on in some sort of specialist coaching role...….. But as a player? No! We need to look to the future.

FMD! That's a new one . Thanks for broadening my vocab deegirl. And thanks to you Beetle. Previously, when I wanted to say shithouse, I always misspelt it as shitehouse - due to censorship considerations. Demonland certainly broadens one's education.

Oliver Fritsch Gawn Harmes May Lewis

Is he related to our own @picket fence? Nah ! That would make him a nut job!

I’m sick of saying this ..... but..... we were our own worst enemies AGAIN!!!!!

Umpire Gloutfis doesn’t have much of a clue

FMD!!! We are a bizarre football team !!!!!

I’ve been on about shitty kicking all year [censored] me!!! It’s killing us

Umpiring is [censored] ordinary

We were/are a [censored] team.

Earlier in the season when hope still sprung eternal the Gameday Thread was always bullish and full of humour ( not all of it funny I'll admit) but now, like all else Demonish, there's a surfeit of apathy and despair. It now fails to lift the spirits of even a sad old flagellator such as myself . Arrrh!!! …. The MFC has a lot to answer for.

Thanks for that tip dazzle - I'll try and catch it. Arrrrh …………………………… what might have been !
