No honour in win

Saturday, November 21, 2009

NO true glory can be gained from prolonged intentional steering of a soccer ball by a previously esteemed outfield player.

Neither is there any honour in a ‘slieveen’, or merit in an ill-gotten win.

The French, a noble and proud people, may reflect on how low their national team has sunk from the lofty heights of being world champions to winning by any means possible.

Allez les verts!
