Response

Don't really think thats an option Jeff, and I hardly think if Strangford Road is unplayable that Shaw's Bridge would be.

Question for Roger Bell.
Roger which gave you the most satisfaction. The result on Sunday at Comber or last night's at Turf Moor ?
What a week for you. What odds would Jeff have given on that double ?

To my good friends Cabbage and Mr McConkey, how could Staffy possibly know who you are , have you ever seen him in Division 2 section 2, division 3 section 1 et al. I've never seen him.

re Paul Stafford

Thanks for the great response Paul, spot on.

The only 2 things I would take issue with would be the accusation of a rant and secondly the rights of forumites to contribute anonymously, (got the spell checker for that one). The forum would not be half as interesting and anything barring slander/libel/out right spitefulness should be encouraged regardless of the name provided.

Finally I don't think there was any need for the second post explaining number 4 as I don't think anyone would have been pedantic enough or looking to seek to increase their own sense of self worth by pointing out anothers errors. We all make mistakes after all.

1) Fair play to you. You have come on here to have a rant but at least you had the courage to use your own name. (you can now expect a lot of uptight outrage from NCU follower or Interested Observer or Danny or Mark or whoever etc)

2)Not former NCU players, former Cliftonville players.

3)What have I to say sorry about? If someone comes on here to criticise my bowling I think it is fair enough to enquire if he ever faced it. Would you not agree?

5)Sorry if you didn't enjoy my articles. They are meant for people with a sense of humour. My advice would be, don't read them.

6)You are right. I don't remember you.

7)I'm sorry I can't say anything without a sarcastic comment. By the way you should try 'Spell-Checker' it's reely grate.

Re Paul Stafford

You have certainly kept me amused over the last few days, it really is wonderful to see that the old forumite staple of, "I don't remember playing against you in Senior cricket", quote has not died a death. It has even inspired me to go and read your column on the other channel, regretably it wasn't quite as funny.

From what I can see the boys at Cliftonville are all fighting really hard to keep their club going despite the obsticals being placed in their way. To their credit they seem to be suceeding, even better they seem to be doing so with a smile on their faces.

One wonders if simply holding your hands up and saying sorry without a sarcastic comment has ever crossed your mind.

Just to save you any hassle trawling through your obvious extensive lists of former NCU players you wont remember having played against me either.

Danny - I take it you were pissed on £2.50 then in the good old days!!

Just looked at the 5 day forecast. Pretty brutal. Lets hope it is wrong as it does promise to be a belter. Instonians were very impressive in stuffing us (CSN) last Sunday and I was impressed by their self belief and desire on the pitch and they deserve to lift some silverware this year. Good luck to them (as much as it pains me to say it as a Methody old boy). I reckon you will see a pretty determined bunch from Comber who will be out to prove their doubters wrong. I doubt they will have lost 3 from 4 this decade and 4 from 5 is unlikely. If I was a bookie it would be 4/6 North Down, Inst 7/4 (I am not though). Anyways, lets hope the sun comes out and a good game unfolds.

Congratulations on the Cup win Danny, don't know why people get annoyed about CIYMS bringing in players from other clubs to strengthen, everyone does it. The higher a teams profile , the easier it gets.
No harm Body , old boy, wouldn't want you as my wingman, you'd snipe me down. Stew still hasn't forgiven you for that bird after the Egg in 1993!!!
