Theres a difference between taking his work seriously and taking it too seriously though. I agree his reports are good.

If you are going to get paid for it next season than fair play to you and best of luck with it but if its going to a wider audience you will need to get used to people speaking badly about it someone always will no matter what.

I actually like a lot of your work I thought you were spot on with the formation you gave and made good points in other parts, there are also 2 points in the report on the Sligo game I disagree with but that doesn't mean I am discrediting your work or don't enjoy it overall I have enjoyed your work on the junior game a lot. You do seem to get very sensitive at times though that isn't intended as an insult or anything just my own view and tbh you do seem to think quite highly of yourself with some of the comments on here and others I have seen from you elsewhere like this "I know some people take the attitude that going beyond the emotion and actually thinking about the game is somehow shameful" is just nonsense really..

I appreciate you seeing why I waded in to respond to the original comment.

I accept that I am quite sensitive, yes. That is tied into the fact that I do not, in fact, think highly of myself. Or at least I didn't for a long time. That's why I'm only making a proper go of this now - ten years later than I should have.

I also accept that I can be defensive. But I hope you can see that that is only in response to unfair criticism or personal abuse. If you're being honest, I also get a lot of constructive criticism that I take on the chin.

As for the accusation of not letting it go, I think that's directed at the wrong person to be frank.

Finally, I also appreciate da bishop's comments. I do take a lot of pride in my work and put a significant amount of time into it. I now think it's up there with anything emanating from other media sources. Shame it's taken me so long to believe that.

Also the "widely tipped" 4-4-2 is a straw man you pulled directly from your arse.

The levels of touchiness are franklymind boggling for a report you finished two hours after watching a game once on telly from 1 and a half camera angles.

Anyway, good night lads wasn't it?! I saw grown men cry with a few minutes to go.

Not to come off too much like a mod, but surely enough has been said on Alan's report?

Up there with anything emanating from other media sources??!!!! Come off it man, throw away the spade, the hole is deep enough. 16 likes on Facebook does not a summer make... Enjoy the reports for the most part, you've improved every season.

If you're genuinely questioning the bit you've quoted, LTID, then it's pointless arguing the toss with you. Completely pointless, in fact.

Bluewhitearmy, you're dead right - I'm going to have to develop a tough skin by the time next season rolls around. Perhaps I might be best served to take the tack that other journalists do - indulging the exalted view that a certain section of the Limerick support has of itself.

I'll leave you to discuss the tears. Bye for now.

Which was it??

Are a 4 1 4 1, a 4 3 3 and a 4 1 2 3 all the same thing as implied by you saying "also known as" or what??

No need to be snippy. Are you doing the reports to impart information or to gaze at your own navel??

Rumbled. Should probably remove the "Sport" part though, haven't done anything on that in ages.
