Much of above is SO true. But my take -
Auckland - Great city, Eden park is great for rugby bot not so good for cricket which is why we went. However, I preferred it from the outside looking in, so ferry to Davenport is worthwhile. Great views, as above regards the Sky Tower.
Wellington - Brilliant, we were lucky as the Super/Cuba/Dupa event was on. Cuba St, lots to enjoy. Park is great to wander around, Basin Reserve a wonderful cricket ground, the Cake Tin less so, but good for Rugby & Football. Windy and Great Pies (even from a petrol station !)
Christchurch - Very English, nice city centre, but Hagley Park/Oval is beautiful and the ‘seating’ memorial is emotional.
Queenstown - Stunning, alot of young adrenaline junkies, but for us oldies the luge and scenery is amazing. Milford Sound is beautiful.
We did Sydney too, excellent. As you might expect. Bridge & a show at the Opera House, Blue Mountains by train, SCG, Bus Tour. Personally, Bondi was a bit of a let down, a bit tacky IMO. But judge for yourself.
Heading to Adelaide & Melbourne later this year for the cricket. Can’t wait. |

I think we were in their faces a lot, certainly a few incidents on the pitch. Dunne in particular was having a few run-ins, thus his 'inyerface' standing over their defender celebration for his goal. Porteous for them was getting mighty peeved.
Ref was more kind to us than them I think. |

Towards the end of the game - their defender fell over despite minimal (if any) contact and grabbed the ball expecting a foul. No whistle from ref and we got the free kick. But he wasn’t booked for Deliberate Handball !?! Surely, that’s a bookable offence whichever division your experience comes from….? |

Probably sold because we needed money in and there were no better offers elsewhere. Same with Sincs.Financially we have little choice but to consider any offers. |

Any last business for us ?
Will we get the Liverpool or Man City LB on loan ?
If the Newcastle RB comes in, Cannon out, or on loan ?
Will we try to fill Dykes place ?
Dixon-Bonner out on loan ?
A couple of other fringe squad players ? Talla, Tuck ?
And that and a game to play…… |

Unless you drop down a division….?
Closer to Livingston level ? Actually probably not, that would be L2 or Conference but still relevant. |

20, RB from Sturn Graz on loan - Sky
Thought we’d need another LB ahead of RB, unless Reggie is history ? |

Be Here Now, too self indulgent and songs too long (one they reprised as the last track as if 9 minutes and 20 seconds wasn’t enough earlier !) IMO…..but, Even Noel said it was a cocaine fuelled pile of poop. |

They did !
It’s called The Masterplan !
Or they could have just put the singles from their last 4 (or 5?) albums onto 1 album and that ‘might’ have been half decent too. |

I thought he was good 1st half.
Some poor decisions 2nd half, some weird and what’s the point of booking the keeper 2 mins from the end after his 10th time timewasting…..! |
