To follow up RRH’s excellent post about his excitement and joy at the approach of the new season……
Can anyone tell me where that time has gone since we were leisurely watching Spurs and the Hammers fighting it out whilst we were nonchalantly putting Sunderland and Chelsea to the sword?
Ok there was a World Cup but it seems like the end of the season was about a fortnight ago.

Since then we’ve lost our best player and a superb manager….
Here we go again …… Coyr!

It seemed like forever, mate. ? Prolonged World Cup, where at least half the matches were pants. Mind you, the first match I sat and watched of the new season was like watching paint dry.

Good to see FC Moneybags go out to Boro, though. Only a couple of weeks, and we will see proper, competitive football again. Quietly confident about this season in regards to our fortunes. ?

I'm not, sadly. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong.

Old saying here, you can only piss with the cock you've got. Yeah, happy with new coach. But, my good luck.

Just back from The Fleadh in Belfast.
Absolutely buzzing!!!
Superb musicians, some as young as 8-9 years old.
Happy, brilliant atmosphere.
A woman collapsed and my son jumped straight in, cool as a cucumber.
Took control in a panicky situation, until the Emergency Services arrived.
Super proud of you, Dr Cain Rogan. ???

Cheers, Bowie, what a son...
He was so unassuming about the whole thing... I asked, "How the hell you do that?"
He just replied, "Well Da, I just hope she makes a full recovery... now get me a Guinness."
Home now, and we're watching
"One Night In Dublin".


Gary Moore's Tribute To Phil Lynott.
Eric Bell, ex-guitarist from Thin Lizzy, makes an appearance for Whiskey In The Jar.
The fun, the Craic, and the warmth of my lot is just unbelievable.
Unreal. ??????

Bowie, love that saying. ? Not heard it in ages. One of my old managers used to use it in his half time team talks, that and 'he missed it by the length of a nat's cock'. ? ?
