A journalist once asked Ian Baker Finch in an interview how it feels to be reduced from world class golfer to only being able to hack his way round a golf course with scores well into the eightys. He has suffered some kind of mental breakdown which has stripped him of the mental strength to carry on as a professional. His answer was that as hard as its been, if you look at the engraving on the bottom of the claret jug that's the trophy for the Open Championship, you'll find his name etched there as a winner and no one will ever be able to take that away. He will be forever remembered as a winner of the greatest golf championship on earth. Barnsley FC are 180 minutes away from having their name etched forever on the most famous club tournement trophy in the world as winners for 2008. What an awesome thought, and what ever happens at a later date it can never be erased or taken away. I've never been this closed to watching a little bit of history being made before. I've never wanted to support a bigger team but I've never been this proud to support my team before. Win, lose or draw if the lads leave the pitch at Wembley knowing they've given their very best and couldnt have tried harder, then we can have no complaints. Immortality beckons ......what a thought.
To paraphrase Achilles Simon Davey at approximately 15:45 on Sunday :- "My team of nations! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that white line? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!"
Lions? Not exactly renowned for their footballing ability, spend most of their time lazing around doing nothing and ...oh, I get you. Nice metaphor.
Plus all the bloke's have to do is growl at other blokes every now and again. For that they get to shag every female they want, with no complaints from the others, and when he's done they all have to bugger off and bring him food. If there is such thing as reincarnation...
Kev's thoughts exactly! He'd make a good lion, apart from the going off with all the females part! He's far too idle for that!!
My mate friendly Kev made a decent point about gay bummers. </p> You get to go out with the lads, drink proper beer, talk about proper stuff like football and that and then go home and rattle each other. No drinks with fruit in, mood swings and endless drivel, all the pros and none of the cons. </p>
hahaha well that is true though there are many bum boys who are jus like women for moods and bitchiness.
So I'm not "friendly Kev"? Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday, Billie Holiday ad infinitum.
How did my thoughts on immortality ..... end up in a debate on the pro's and cons of being a ******!!!! It could only happen on the BBS :'(
