Re: The Rogalypse LAR V Munster

That makes perfect sense to me. He’s received a bad pass from a standing start with three blokes at full tilt coming for him. A step looks like literally his only chance to try and get an advantage, there’s no way he’s beating those lads to the corner from a standing start. At least, that’s my take...

He's yellow. Cant have it!
He very clearly isn't - no sane man with his defensive limitations would step on that pitch, imo.
Agree to disagree Joey. For me it's a mental thing.

He’s excellent.

I went to that game and got sunburn. Past 10 years have seen milder winters in Chicago, so may get lucky.

I really don’t rate Conan. Has had 18 mths of good form out of nowhere. Think we have a lot better options and shifting Doris from 8 isn’t ideal.

Turk, I'm still in ChiTown. This place has changed so much in my 21 years here. It's really gone downhill the last 5 years. Some of the old heads from the Globe still meet up but we now frequent the Ambassador. For the first time ever I'm actually contemplating moving home.
