Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


If you time to watch for 60 minutes then I recommend this. Young Armagh lad who burst through to the Seniors and made our dreams come true as supporters. An icon to us but life happens. He is winning in life and am proud to call him a friend.

An inspirational story even though I couldn’t understand all the commentary. They seem a lovely family and I’m sure he will make a great social worker, he deserves every success.
 

Good morning all on this fine day .I hope all are well and had a good night . The ground loks absolutely fabulous and I am so jealous of those who had the chance to attend .Hopefully there will be a full report from @Val P later . I thought the best team won as we didn't get into the game until it was too late .The brightest spark was Braiden Graham who looks good but Wigan had three who really played well The laft back and left winger and a lad called Greenhalgh who was really stand out . Have a great day all COYB

I’d say some of the English speakers were hard enough to understand at times 😀

It is inspirational though. Life has thrown a lot at him but he is coming out the other end now.

*Edit- I have just realised they didn’t add subtitles to that!! The TV version did have them. Apologies 🤦🏼‍♂️
 
Afternoon all, just got back from Liverpool. Well I’m sure you’ve all seen lots of photos, streams etc of the ground and it seems like on social media there have been moans and great feedback.
In my opinion it is magnificent. We got to the ground as the sun was setting and it was quite breathtaking. The way that they have lined outside of the south stand with the trees and the view back to the city I’m sure will make it a place that people will want to linger even after the game. Inside it’s quite stark and industrial but they took great pains in the pre match email to manage expectations and say that there is a lot still to be done. It’s so spacious and the amount of ladies loos is fabulous- no more queueing for us hurray!!
We went up to where our season ticket seats are and I can’t explain the feeling of actually being in that spot, having been involved with the fan consultations and hearing Dan Meis’ vision at St Luke’s church, to see it was incredible. I felt very emotional tbh.
The sound system was magnificent and the big screens were big and bright. When they played the sirens and then z cars you could get a sense of what it will be like come August when it is full of people and atmosphere.
We were quite high up in the upper stand which was quite a challenge for mr p and his dodgy knee although there were escalators up to the stand entrance. And I’m glad our season tickets are further down. It reminded me of being in the high seats at Wembley. With hindsight we might have tried for the north stand but I’m not complaining at all. One thing I would say is it was flipping freezing- definitely going to need to invest in some thermals for next winter 🥶. We bumped into our Gwladys street steward who we always chat to and he was regretting not wearing a hat 😂.
Overall it was exciting to be there and an unbelievable experience. I’ll put some pics up below. I’ll never forget yesterday that’s for sure 💙
 

This one’s for you @jazzy ! As we had eaten earlier we didn’t sample the limited menu but the lads had a toffee doughnut (had a bite it was yummy). If we weren’t giddy enough before, the additives in the blue icing definitely enhanced our excitement 💙
That looks just as disgusting as the blue curry I once saw in a Birmingham City supporting Indian restaurantor.😀
