The Beginning

Welcome all, I am Longy and it is fair to say that I have been put on this planet for one reason; to follow, play, live and breathe FOOTBALL.

Like so many of the mates around me, I have played the fine game since the age of 6. With my old man as coach, my debut was something to remember; I was told to stand in the opposition half and to kick the ball into the net at the end of the field. Short and sweet were the instructions, and sure enough the Bangor Brumbies 6C's felt the full wrath of my right boot, securing a 1-0 win on my debut. That night, i watched Ian Rush and John Barnes carve Queens Park Rangers to shreds as they too secured a 1-0 win over the hapless Rangers at the home of football; Anfield. And so my love affair with football commenced.

Over the past decade or two, I have endured the highest of summits and been put through weeks in the murky depths of the world of football. In my opinion, this is what attracts so many individuals to follow the game. Sport has the ability to carry anyone involved in it through so many different emotions, its like nothing else. Football, for me, does this better then every other sport put together plus some.

As you may see I am very opinionated; hence the creation of this blogspot. The comments that are to follow will perhaps be controversial, skeptical; foolish even. Those of you who read this may shake your head in disbelief at the words have been published, but lets remember that Football is a game followed by millions like me. I urge you to rebut my annotations, let loose your assessment of the world game. For now, I leave you, but fear not more will come in the not-too-distant future!
