Monday - football, ju-jitsu, politics ...

Found out early doors that the Stalybridge game tomorrow is off as Alfreton have to travel to Buxton for a Derbyshire Senior Thingy tomorrow ... tonight boy goes to ju-jitsu so I got to watch about 40 minutes of the Burton v Barrow game on Sultana @ the Railway in Greenfield - naturally my support was for the Brewers (the last time Barrow were @ the Pirelli, I was there with my "Stalybridge hat" on in last season's Play-Off Final - not so many Barrow fans there tonight ..) Burton were pretty flaccid in the little that I watched (I've since found out they won 2-1 so .. hey) - what to do tomorrow - it's Woodley Sports v Warrington ...

But now I'm watching "Bloody Sunday" - another sad indictment of British thuggery, that continues to this day in Iraq and Afghanistan - although these later skirmishes come under the "Yankee banner" - we managed the Irish problem all on our own - and before we get the "American contributions to the IRA argument" - the Protestants were similarly sponsored were they not ? Never seen this before - but James Nesbitt is doing a fine job as the MP - maybe the British "power/attitude" - up to now - is a little "overdone" - but it's only 2315 and the march has not yet begun ... sign off now to watch the "meat" ... just listening to the "voices" (scripts ?) of the Paras though - a done deal of anti-Catholicism hidden behind a "crush the IRA" agenda ??

0030 Update - and the misery and injustice continues ... 36 years on .....
