Limerick FC in financial trouble

The Scunts beat MK Dons in a penalty shoot-out to get through to the League One play-off final. If they win this they’ll be back up to the Championship.
We didn’t get over to see them in a while now.  You might remember our last ridiculous attempt to see a Scunthorpe match, which ended in total [...]

It’s official. As of yesterday, not only are Scunthorpe going to be promoted to the Championship, but they go up as winners of League One.
What do you make of that? The Wrinklies are in confusion, as I am myself, and though we’re all agreed that while it will be great to see Scunthorpe [...]

Now look. It’s like this.
We travelled to Llanelli in high hope, and we were beaten fair and square by a team who were better on the night. We have no complaints, though obviously we were downcast and disappointed. We travelled home in our thousands, sadder but philosophical about it.
And then we heard the [...]

I was so consumed by anxiety over Scunthorpe that I neglected to even watch the Grand National, never mind put money on a horse.
So I have nothing to say about it. I didn’t see it.
Dum dee dum dee dumm dumm . . .
What to do?
I know, why not read what I said about it [...]

Today is a big one for the Iron. If they beat Huddersfield this afternoon, Scunthorpe United are guaranteed promotion to the Championship. Next season, if all goes well, they’ll be up against the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich, QPR and Crystal Palace.
Scunthorpe!!
What??
It’s fifteen minutes to kick-off, so I’m just going away now to [...]

I bumped into my friend Hopkins this morning.
Morning, Boss, I greeted him. Grand weather for Good Friday.
Hopkins stared at me manically.
What none would have known of it, only the heart, being hard at bay,
Is out with it! Oh,
We lash with the best or worst
Word last! How a lush-kept plush-capped sloe
Will, mouthed to flesh-burst,
Gush! — [...]

I was hoping to bring some kind of semi-coherent report of the Wales trip, but to be completely honest with you, I’m still shattered from it, emotionally and physically.
I’m exhausted.
Why?
I don’t know why.
Yes, we did have to get up at half past three in the morning, which is a bit of a conundrum in itself. [...]

They murdered us.
The scoreline does no justice to a team who outplayed Munster in every aspect of the game. Llanelli were outstanding and they walked all over us right from the start and when the Munster team went in at half time 17-0 down, there was never going to be any way back.
The next forty [...]

Munster play Llanelli tomorrow evening in the quarter final of the European Rugby Cup.
We’re going by road, which means that Bullet and myself have to get up at four in the morning to catch the Rosslare ferry. Christ Almighty.
The game is at 7.30 tomorrow evening and on Saturday we’re going to watch Sunderland [...]
