Champions league 20/21

Nice

No pace, no height, bad positional sense 

Racing were ‘the’ Paris team.

This actually put into my mind one night around February 2002, it was at closing time on a Wednesday night in Bruxelles pub just off Grafton Street

I was in the rock bar part downstairs and was about to ascend the stairs to leave when yer man Kev who used to be on The Den emerged from the other part of the bar to go the jacks and I said to him "how are Zig and Zag?"

He replied curtly "they're fine" before moving swiftly on 

I realised later that what I did to him by drunkenly making that quip to him was a form of bullying for my own personal gratification, I was playing an unfunny joke and laughing along with it to myself, poor Kev was only out for a few pints with his mates and must have been asked that question at least a dozen times that night by random people who each, like me, thought they were being funny but were not

Poor Kev could not escape his past, which was nothing to be ashamed of anyway

I felt very mildly guilty and resolved that if I ever randomly passed Kev in a pub ever again I would not ask him how Zig and Zag were getting on, I'd ask him how the fook somebody as untalented as Ray D'Arcy got a well paid lifetime career in Irish media, I suppose the answer is in the question

They are 2-0 down to Qatar

Great to see real football after the dross served by the Eire champions
