There's a gloves ban.
{You can't handle the cards proper or get a feel for the dice in gloves.} UIMS But what if it's extra cold, Boss? (It's snowin' like b*ggery at the moment…..) Can we wear tights? Even the men? Y'know…… Men in Tights….. Picture the scene..........

They're good for keeping your legs warm on a 250cc Yamaha. Don't ask!.

Has anyone had a report back from our spy at the training ground? Was it Rog in a tree giuse or Chuffed as a walking the beat Bobbie?

Yes, I was only kidding about the torture, Dees, but I thought it was worth a try because it usually works. Chuff must be EXTRA-TOUGH. ) As you say, ' WHY'?, plus I was just trying to get all the skinny on the style of Chuff's tights, eg. were they a pair of standard Saino's three-pairs-per-pack in American Tan, or black fishnets (my personal faves) or proper male ballet dancer's tights, with one of those little built-in tuckboxes to keep the team's cheeses fresh, and which can also double-up as a ledge for the ballerina to stand on when they do all those high lifts? I'm really, really impressed, anyway - there's something so avant-garde about the whole thing and I love a man with a sense of adventure……..

Devastating result to report...
Magpies 4 v 2 EEFC
A thrilling encounter, EEFC not able to get a foothold in the game, some with legs seemingly in a bit of a twist. Seems the tights approach caused issues for all, bar those more used to them {reflected in the ratings.} First half EEFC 2v1 down, a penalty for us from Mermaidsal, she was brought down in the box, converted the resultant spot. Half time Assassin brought on for skipper RogJ, Pearo took the armband. Same story second half, the Magpies efficient, relentless scored another two. Murphs consolation goal from a Mermaidsal indirect free kick. The ladies shone.
Player ratings etc later.
UIMS.

We'll definitely need to buck our ideas up for the next game. The tights were a definite game changer for most of us.

Grow your own birthday present I've found a site (USA) with a national food day for every day of the year. Your week has some real tempters so if you want to risk revealing the actual day I could reveal the treat that awaits you. 18th JD You have a gorgeous double whammy, D. National all ice cream pie day. Ice cream AND pie. Who's a lucky chap, then?

Don't know who's leaking images to the press, extremely undermining before a match. Pictures of some of the squad out in the Big Market with BojanMackey. You'll have noticed our discipline in even sitting for the photy in our team positions, boss. That'll be me at the back, on the right as you look. Seems like the national food days diet is putting some weight on me.

Honestly gaffer, I hope you put a complaint in about that ref. I knew we were on a loser when he came out wearing a shirt emblazoned with Toon Army. Sorry about yet another yellow card. The blood was up. I know, I shouldn't have risen to it, and getting booked for dissent is unforgivable; but after he booked Bath for saving a shot I just couldn't stop myself from telling him his shirt should have said Spittoon Army.

I thought I'd gain favour with the opposition fans off by not wearing a shirt. I was froz. Warnt just me teeth chattering, me whole body was shekkin. Me ribs sounded like someone was rattling a bag of terrapins. Think I might leave off that idea again until we have our summer tour. Hopefully it'll be somewhere warm this year.

Given the wind chill factor over the weekend, I’ve been in touch with Great Grandad Pearo and he has given me a couple of bottles of what he calls Beelzebub’s Comforter.
It’s a bit of a twist on moonshine, but a small sip each before kick off and we won’t feel the cold, we could even play in Chicago in short sleeved shirts.

Good on yer Pearo - it sounds like just the job for the weekend ! It seems ages since we last played. Makes you laugh doesn't it when you see Chicago and then you see our travel disruption, school closures etc for the paltry amount of snow that we've got. Great Grandad Pearo's magic brew should give us a definite advantage over the opposition tomorrow. Bring it on !!!!!! COYMEEFC !

Just back from some warm weather training in Georgia for ten days. Arrived back in Md where parts had had ten inches. Taught the missus the difference between snow men and snow women (snowballs)
Hotel was located a short walk from a superb “Irish” bar so most of the major training was 20 ounce curls. American Guinness is never like home but bad American Guinness is still better than good American beer in most cases.
Looking forward to the next outing...if it’s ‘shine we are training on I have a very acceptable apple pie, a cherry that’s chock full of maraschino’s (where’s the irony, try and spell maraschino after you’ve drunk three shots of that) and of course, a Georgia peach after the trip. I am thinking that if we are now in tights we can keep a couple of hip flasks handy at strategic positions in the team..
