MERRY NEW YEARS Y'ALL

[rolf]

Cannot help but notice all the glumness surrounding our trips abroad. Ok we could be better (maybe even a lot), but we ain't that bad. Alls this team needs is a few breaks (ref-wise, nothing else) and some settled lines and the guys will soon realise their un-doubted potential.

Now I try to be as objective as possible, with my one good eye, but I do believe we are getting the brown end of the stick from officialdom. We do seem to get more than our fair share of dubious charging/boarding/random penalty calls whilst some nasty little opposition shytes appear to get away with all manner of cheap shots. We tend to overcome this at home but on the road maybe it's a different case. Always harder to play against seemingly 7 men than 6 especially if one is tinged with orange armbands. This has to be a major drawback considering our robust style of play, must be a bit like juggling with hand cuffs on..............

Anyways I have the pink specs firmly on and I have had a cheeky peek at both our and some of our rivals fixture lists against which I have put my predictions, they are below for what they be worth. I didn't do Belfart because they have some dodgy matrix which doesnt export very well and I am due out on the lash later, so no time for excel tom foolery on that scale. So here they are:-

Well Done Rolf, you always cheer me up! Happy New Year to you too!

Happy new year to you all, would love it if there are as many positive posts as negative ones this year as quite frankly we are bigger moaners than the Squeelers.

moaning simply underlines our passion, it shows we care !!! H.N.Y to all
