Rugby, beer, football and curry

Had an eventful weekend. Friday night Geraint was kind enough to drive me to Galashiels for the Borders vs Ospreys match. It wasn’t the most exciting match you’re ever likely to watch but it was good to come away with a win after last years debacle. Was disappointed to find out that the Borders mascot (Flump) had died. The replacement horse wasn’t as impressive. Borders made a bit of a mess of the programme.

Went into Newcastle on Saturday to watch the football. We managed to find a pub with a low idiot count where we could watch the game. Spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening visiting pubs mentioned in the GBG. Drunk far too much beer and managed to almost completely forget visiting Sachins for a curry.

Spent Sunday walking off the previous nights excesses. Visted the Biscuit Factory which would be a very expensive place to visit if you’d just bought a house.

Decent performance by Wales against a very poor Scottish side. Duncan Jones was fantastic. Disappointed that the Swans were knocked out of the FA Cup by Tranmere. Especially after being a goal up.

Well not the most exciting draw the Swans could have hoped for. But Tranmere are 17th in division 2! What an opportunity to reach the quarter finals.

Great result for the Swans. Shame there’s no chance of them drawing Newcastle at St. James’ in the next round.

Great performance by Wales tonight. Just hope we can finish the job on Wednesday. I’m a bit worried that without Craig Bellamy and Simon Davies we’ll struggle to create any chances.

I was lucky enough to to be the recipient of my Uncle’s spare ticket for last nights football. It wasn’t the greatest game I’ve ever seen and the Referee was bloody awful. However, we did manage to secure a play-off place. The atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic.
