Am killed out working, have a really full diary for the next 2 weeks, hardly have time to breath.
The weekend was fun and depressing, fun in that the over 40's beat Tipperary on Saturday (I even scored a few goals), and Marys won thier Intermediate game (a few points) and then we won the senior match as well.
The frustrating thing was watching Roscommon on Sunday putting in an tired "could'nt care less" performance and getting beaten by Mayo, even worse was the fact that some of them seemed quite pleased with themselves afterward.
Anyway I am sending Val Daly the manager a copy of the "Little Prince" by Antoine D'Exubery.
In the tale of the little prince, our hero lives on a tiny planet, where his jobs each day include cleaning out his two volcanos and digging up any baobabs he sees.
Now a boabab is a small tree which has no interest in anything but itself, and if you don't cut it out of the ground when it is small and young. it will simply smother and take over everything on the planet, therefore the whole planet will be overrun by Boababs if you don't keep a constant look out for them and if you don't take the necessary action to dig them up and weed them out as soon as you spot one!
The Roscommon County board seems to have a policy of appeasing, watering and fertilising thier Boababs, they sacrificed a decent manager and a decent man for the sake of them.
Take heed Val, if you don't weed out the Boababs, they'll get ya.
