Live from County Mayo. Gutted I couldn't be there. Chuffed to bits - 3 last minute goals in the last 4 away league games shows a side that's battling like f.ck. pleased for Flicker too, especially after all the 'sidekick' ballacks he had on here. But let's not get carried away. This run of form has just kept us in touch and I reckon we need >50 to be safe but 20 points from 16 games seems much more achievable. You pissed up Guinness reds.
The late goals we've been banging in is incredibly pleasing. As is the tightness of the defence, the fact that we finally seem able to see off ten men, and the fact that we've still picked up results in the games that we haven't played as well as we can in. Form will dip inevitably, but if we pick up say three or four points from a run of four dodgy performances instead of the zero that it would have been before Christmas, that could easily be the difference between staying up and going down.
He was Keith's sidekick though, upon the timing of his appointment, let's be fair. So it wasn't ballacks, was it? It would be ballacks now, to refer to him as that. I agree. But at the time that I myself referred to him as sidekick, I was fully justified in doing so. Just as I'm over the moon to now say I was wrong about him. He's very much his own man. Clearly learned a lot from what happened to his best mate. Good on him for that.
