THE ONE WHERE AFTER THREE YEARS AWAY, HE STILL RUNS LIKE A GIRL



Well, fuck me sideways and call me Sarah. Muncher is back. And his unwierdly gait. His ability to not last 80 minutes has not lessened, but nevertheless, welcome back.

So let's count the injuries today shall we? Lucey's gash; Luke's ankle bulge; Paddy's shoulder; Frankie's whateverthefuck; Alan's something plus the various severe kicks/knocks to the head of multiple Keiths. Not forgetting Red's pride. Linwood weren't immune to getting knocked about either but i'm telling you, this seasons injury toll combined with last years retirements are proving to be an active force in our weekly score. Or lack thereof.




Linwood always put on a good game and today they simply came at us harder faster stronger and with far more determination than we were prepared to spend. And tries in the first few minutes proved that they wanted it more than we did.
Again, it wasn't all doom and gloom. Solid performances and solid commitment from the usual suspects made things from the sidelines look like they could be turned around, but hey ho. Not to be.




Quite frankly it's the same names cropping up every week who do the hard yards and the same names every week who coast along. And that's becoming boring to write about. This also applies to aftermatch festivities at the club. It seems not many Keiths think about being Keithly the same as I do. That's ok.

Personally, I'd like to thank those who still turn up at the games and at the club and put in an effort. Hopefully you'll lead a renaissance in the future.
