I was too cold to notice. I was doing interviews and had been on the road since 5am. One lass walked in really looking the part, smart and professional. My fellow interviewer asked her a question, and she got increasingly flustered before bursting into tears in short order. I spent the second half of the interview throwing her gentle underarm lobs to try and dig herself out, but I doubt it worked (we score separately and donāt discuss).
As an aside, the cricket ground in Hampshire looked absolutely lovely as we turbopropped over it in the early morning sun. I think the plane was an aer arann cast off.
My day, as always, was brightened by the couple of troy mclures. Thereās always one or two who improve your humour no end.
That and a quite stunning lady at the end.
Did the stunner get the job?
Iād imagine she did.
Whatās a Troy mclure
I interviewed a bird this evening and she couldnāt stop talking about her maternity leaves and kids. Didnāt have to do a John Halligan on it.
Iād say you imagined it too you dirty dog.
Did you ask her to go to North Korea?
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Where are we all meeting up tomorrow guys? Iāll surely meet @dodgy_keeper in the usual spot. Itās a little playoff tradition of ours.
You sly divil, how did you get her talking on that track?
51 obviously. Before and after.
Get up to Dublin early, mate. Iām around for a couple of lunchtime pints.
Just give 'em space to talk.
Johnny Giles sat at one side of Claire Byrne tonight and that horrid cunt Tony OāDonoghue at the other side, i wonder what they are on to disagree about?
Johnny saying the result in Denmark was a bad result and we should have been more positive and tried to get a goal. Also saying that itās a āmythā to be playing away from home.
2 fuckin simpletons
Thereās a priest in the audience called Father Shorthall who theyāve cut to and heās saying āIreland have god on their sideā for tomorrow night. Seems a bit of a pointless segway to the priest in relation to the chat about tomorrowās match. He has also stated he is āorally gluedā to what Tony and Johnny are saying.
