Copenhagen was a waste of time. I've lost interest in soccer, I reckon my time down there had a profound effect on me, watching talentless idiots pulling on the shirt due to halfwitted coaches rubber stamping their presence on the field. I used to love the game, booze and depression didn't help either. I'm sure you know what I mean. As far as Clough was concerned, the man was as heterosexual as the singer from "right said fred" and I take back my utterings. Messrs Huigsloot Eamonn Kelly and Farrell Shaw were the only guys who ever came up to me and said thanks for playing mate. Anyway enough self pity. Good to see South Hobart getting success and not falling by the wayside like calies.madmcglonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283792431948878507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-27469998049188696022010-01-12T12:10:52.522+11:002010-01-12T12:10:52.522+11:00by the way how are you coping with the weather mac...by the way how are you coping with the weather macca?<br /><br />it's a bit like a balmy glasgow day here.Richard Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279018136372849497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-21565578580580606152010-01-12T12:08:15.500+11:002010-01-12T12:08:15.500+11:00madmcglone

A goalkeeper was seriously wounded and has been flown to a hospital in South Africa. <br /><br />The only thing that saved the team was that the rebels attacked the first bus in the convoy. That bus was carrying the team's kit and other equipment. The players were in the second bus and had the rebels opened up on that first, probably everyone would have been killed. As it is, six players have been wounded.<br /><br />Adebayor is reported to be on his way back to the UK already and the team seems certain to withdraw.Walternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-1069283895405611202010-01-10T03:14:37.541+11:002010-01-10T03:14:37.541+11:00voss has chosen a great club ;)voss has chosen a great club ;)Coxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06925531441779157103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-82150616492526689222010-01-09T23:02:44.563+11:002010-01-09T23:02:44.563+11:00Chuq, you're very perceptive.Chuq, you're very perceptive.Walternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-15692015248319139162010-01-09T22:59:07.811+11:002010-01-09T22:59:07.811+11:00I'd love to put my hand up to have a go with B...I'd love to put my hand up to have a go with Borough or South but knee ops and pending outbound expatriation will mean this will be the first season in 7 years that I won't play.
