Still Sunday but for us Monday 15th July 01:00 Copa America Final Argentina v Colombia
Double heartache? Double celebration? Or...
Was walking around Rochester town centre yesterday and most of the shops had red & white displays with "it's coming home" messages. The wife asked the significance of the phrase so had to explain that, luckily a few minutes later was in a shop with it on radio.
Finally, saw a Roger Waters look a like on the grounds of the cathedral, trendy ripped jeans and an all black jacket in the style of Adam Ant's Hussars jacket
Reading Phil's response earlier referencing an untrue alien abduction story made me think...
This thing about probes (specifically of the rear), these aliens have the technology to jump galaxies, evade radar etc. Then use 19th century medical techniques...?
I would have thought that at the very least they'd have a Dr. McCoy bleepy thing.
But hey, I guess that just be inter dimensional galactic perverts...
Finally gotten around to watching this and the brief one with Holland and Ashton.
We're now a month on from another fantastic season finale; the sights, sounds, smells and tastes (it tastes like promotion!).
We've had a (media led) fright and finally get to hear carefully delivered interviews.
My biggest fear is that someone is savvy enough to take Ashton AND McKenna, that would really hurt us.
McKenna's eloquence is fantastic, intelligent analysis, challenge facing approach is wonderful, hopefully we see his trajectory continue upwards with us.
If it continues to produce results like the last 2 seasons, I'm happy to be in the washing machine.
Maybe just my device or my elderly disposition but scrolling for some items took a number of attempts as the scroll disappeared and had to start at the beginning again!
Example Favourite / best opposition player could not get beyond C, so ended voting for someone who caught my eye but didn't do nearly as much damage as Gnonto. And let's face it, Leeds needed to win something. Or maybe, knowing my intentions the drop down fell apart, again.
When it comes to the question about how well McKenna has done please could you reveal the identities of anyone that gives anything less than top marks.
I have acquired a job lot of pitchforks and torches and will happily distribute to a willing mob to take care of the heretics [aka trolling budgies]
Today at midday a friend of mine passed away, someone I'd known since moving to Ipswich at the age of 3.
Whilst he was a town fan, he wasn't a regular attendee.
As kids with our parents, and into teens as a group from the estate. our We took him to Charlton for the famous 3-2 FA Cup win the day Deller won the darts, and he was one of dozens of Chantry kids there the day Dozzell made history.
I travelled to Ipswich specifically to see him last Saturday in Parkview, opposite Chantry Park. Told him I'd be back to see him Sunday warning him I'd have a monster hand over. He was in good spirits, but looked dreadful.
But when I noticed the WhatsApp messages weren't being viewed let alone responded to I knew. I let it get to me and had a row with a colleague that almost went beyond words, he's 6-5 and 25 stone... I'm a lot shorter and lighter.
Got a message from my oldest male offspring offering condolences for my loss, he'd seen it on FB and knew my friend as he'd taught 2 of my kids. Then a LinkedIn message from his older brother. I cried a little, I didn't when either my mother or step-mother passed away. Explain that.
Dropped a WhatsApp on one of the Town fans I'd met on day of Naaaridge game who told me he'd been taught and inspired enough to take his subject to degree level.
The bitter? Wish he could have lived to see Town get promoted.
The sweet? One more game.
As Shankly said Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."
When I listen to music, mainly whilst driving it's always on random play and "my music" goes from ABBA to ZZ Top via Chopin, Adam & the Ants, NWA, Spitting Image, safe to say eclectic.
But there's a handful of tunes that sometimes result in cracking open the windows and volume full blast. A12 on way to Ipswich in the roadworks South of Chelmsford, if you heard the song in the title of this message, yep that was me. But I think it fits ITFC supporting experience.
IF, COULD'VE, SHOULD'VE, WOULD'VE
I'm with Rafa Benitez - FACTS Ok it didn't go so well for him after that rant.
FACTS Top of Championship with 3 to play It's in our own hands All the other clubs in Top 6 have been in the Prem more recently than us Many of them are supported by income from that time
Yet here we are after dropping 4 points at home. If we don't go up in top 2, it will be a failure, of sorts. Let's not talk about the other route.
However, we have out performed all but the wildest of pre season expectations.
In our lives and work, we all make mistakes, the odd poor decision; I bought a Citroen MPV EV for my Fleet thinking range was 180 miles but is actually only 120 (without any electrics on) and we will avoid life decisions; way too complex, but my best UK earnings came in 1999/2000 tax year....
Anyway not about me.
What I mean is that whatever happened / happens in games players make mistakes, to err is human. But does anyone not think we've benefited from a hardworking squad busting a gut for the collective goal? Does anyone think they lack application and effort?I Is anyone not excited when attending PR?
Yesterday there were times when PR rocked to the collective sound of all 4 sides of the stadium in unison, a beautiful thing. But there was also the sense of fear, may expectation that this image of the promised land before our very eyes is going to be ripped up, viciously and cruelly, our hopes and dreams stamped upon. And I think that translates to the players.
As for the bloke next to me...
"That was a foul" (Ipswich player on Boro player) Ref gives it (Jumps up) "oh referee!"
and the other side
Well he just doesn't get McKenna ball.
Me? 50 something shouting and singing, kick every ball, making every tackle, every header. I do like to enjoy an immersive interactive experience. Apologies if you have to sit anywhere near me and I inadvertently kick you or tug on your sleeve (no Keno! Not what YOU think)
Thanks to all involved;- Gamechanger Three Lions The Executives Management and coaching staff Players And my fellow fans
