So Brassed Off

[Duncer]

I had flights booked to go to Dublin this morning for tonight's Linfield v Shamrock Rovers game, but my other half was ill starting on Saturday afternoon, and continuing well into yesterday, throwing up everything she had eaten, even the odd drink of water.

Mercifully, things improved late last night and I thought I was back on for the game again. Then, at about 03:00 this morning, an "Exorcist" like projectile vomiting arrived and I was utterly floored, lying in the WC hugging the bowl for far too long. I have never had anything like this in my life before, and even water was flying up again while I was doing all the actions although I had nothing left to give. My ribs and abdominal muscles ache but, worst of all, I'm missing a big, big game for us.

I am, in a word or two, p1ssed off.

Remember, duncer, when you got married to your OH, they said, everything I have I give you..... Well......... now you know what they REALLY meant... :)

[Duncer]

That has crossed my mind a few times.......

[Canary42]

You're in good company - i.e. Liz

[Nibble]

I'm wondering it that's all that crossed your mind??

[Duncer]

Many a thing crosses this sick mind Nibble, but I'm too illl for that at present.

[Nibble]

^lol

Have you checked if the games on Saorview, (with the correct equipment), or is it on "council" telly?

[Duncer]

It is on Setanta, whcih I don;t have, but I'll be checking the streaming sites.

A very poor third to being there indeed, especially as I haven't been to Rovers' ground before.

[Maydup]

Aww poor you duncer. Rest up and try to drink, if you cannot keep even water down, phone the GP. I have no doubt that you, along with our Queen, have the Novovirus and need to keep hydrated.

Get well soon

We're 2-0 down and deservedly so, not a good day at all.

[Duncer]

[Duncer]

Back to 2-1, and what a goal?

[Duncer]

Still 2-1, twenty minutes to go. I'd take that right now.

[Duncer]

Bairy Hollocks, it's 3- now.

[Duncer]

4-1, being sick was more fun.

[Duncer]

Penalty, and we missed it.

[Duncer]

There can't be many clubs in the UK who miss as many penalties as we do?

[ichkeria]

Home leg to come?
We caught them before they'd warmed up, obviously, in the first leg. Never much chance of me getting there that night, despite having relatives stationed all round the suburbs including Tallaght.

Bit of a disastrous night for the Irish League.

Anyway get well soon :-)

[Duncer]

Fine now, apart from the aching abs and the lost money, not to mention the thrashing we took last night. I also missed meeting up with my old Limerick supporting, Dublin-based buddy but, as you say, it was a dreadful night all round for the Irish League.

About two or three hours after winning it against Derry City last year Stephen Baxter was sitting holding the Cup and said, "We'll probably be the last Irish League team to win this". He may well be right.
