Yet another late match report… get your finger out Deane!
You can get the BBC summary here, which I won’t bother rehashing…
We played well in the first half, and I was particularly impressed with Rossi’s distribution - often rolling the ball out to the full backs or giving a quick throw to the wings rather than the aimless punt up field which has been the norm this season.
Thorpe started well, looking lively, but faded as the game progressed. As he’s now been released, I guess that was his last chance and he blew it. Possibly a bit harsh given his bad luck with injuries.
It was great to see Birch scoring. I hope that he has a good rest and comes back rejuvenated next season.
Overall, the season ended with a whimper rather than a bang, but in a weird way it was nice to have nothing immediate to worry about.
I say nothing immediate, because there’s plenty to worry about next season… like, for example, will we have any new players, or even enough of our existing ones?
On a positive note though, I’ve felt that for most of the season, a lot of our key players haven’t been doing half what I know they are capable of. Whilst that’s not a good thing, it does open the possibility that we could really get going next season if a few people come back firing on all cylinders.
Time to cross my fingers and renew the season ticket… O we’re the R block we’re the R block we’re the R block Shepherds bush…
John Siracusa has posted a nice write up of some of the more interesting technical implications of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, including lots of interesting comment on the continuing meta-data saga.
Well worth a read.

Priceless.

To celebrate, he’s put up a page containing A Short History of DragThing
Yes, I did go to this one, but I’ve been away… and now I can’t remember much about it :)
We were poor, but they were worse!
