Re: RIP - Fruit n 2 Veg

Not around here much lately for various reasons so just heard about this. Very sad news indeed, especially for one so young with a family. Always seemed like a great bloke too. Hope he's joining Svaran and the 'dog for a cabal.

Re: Andy Gooooooooode Gooooooooing? (And staying)

He will be a very good coach, I've thought so for a long while. He is deceptively skilful, is a good reader of the game and has the right sort of temperament.
