Got up relatively early and got to the Senate House about 10.15. It was bloody freezing with a biting wind. If it wasn't for the heater we'd have all been chilled to the bone. It was a very slow day (think we did about 20 frome orders (though several were for 2 or 3 frames). Spent so long hanging about by the heater my boot heated up and left me with a sore foot. Richard M stopped by (either visit us or go shopping with the wife). Now he's leaving he's being less diplomatic about things in the UIS & the university. He's also bought a house in Denmark: it's an architect's building from the mid-50s & the architect wants to downsize (he is in his 80s).
We talked a lot about the ridiculous demand from the University that we pay 100k for the priviledge of being evicted.
Ceremony finished early so went over to Lou's to watch rugbyonly to find that somebody had buggered the PC so it couldn't boot up. So a long walk to the Isaac to catch the end of the 1st half & finding that Ireland had stuffed the useless jocks. In a crazy match we put 7 tries past the french and scored 55 points, agonizingly short (6points) of the total we needed to take the title. The main culprits for this was terrible finishing against the jocks & James "Fucknut" Haskell who saw yellow for a deliberate trip. While the twatsplash was in the bin, France scored twice.
Sunday 22/03/15
Over to the Isaac after a trip to Aldi. Heather was already there. Liverpool were absolutely gash in the 1st half.We played like we'd never seen a ball or each other before. ManU dominated the game comfortably and went in one up.
At the start of the 2nd half Lallana (who'd missed an open goal sitter in the 1st half) was subbed for Gerrard.
Who lasted 38 seconds before being sent off for a stamp on Herrerra! The decision was fair (and he acknowledged that later). Apart from SG, Jones should have gone for 2 fouls, Di Maria for deliberate handball (a fine catch that a full back would have been proud of), Balotelli for 2 fouls* and Skrtl for another stamp, this time on Di Gea.
The ManU fans (and everyone else) thought Gerrard's red card was the funniest thing ever.
This was Gerrard's heat map
And this an impression of his time on the pitch (even Pele lasted longer).
Mata won the game with a superb acrobatic kick and despite pulling a goal back we are now 5 pts off 4th and look like missing out again (which means players will leave & other targets wont come).
Stayed to watch the Hull Chelski match (after Lou turned into sweary mary & got told off by Dick) and howled at their comedy defending that had Heather screaming (she'd been laughing when the red was produced - karma is fast in these parts). Dick said he knew when Chelsea ad scored as he could hear Heather upstairs.
* Mario got smashed by Smalling and had to be restrained from twatting him by LFC fans.
