An epic and equally upsetting weekend
If anybody has become bored or annoyed by my re-posting match text commentary in recent weeks I apologise. It’s my way of dealing with Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and/or separation anxiety, whichever you want to call it. From not being able to attend matches it is desired to be at. Without wanting to play…
