Re: Has VK Lost the dressing room?

I’ll be staying off here for a while I think.

There appears to be a contest to see who can out gobshite each other.

It’s difficult at the moment but we’ve key players to come back and there is a bloody long way to go this season.

Yeah that’s a brilliant line up. 12 players should edge it over the 11 of the opposition. 🤣

This is where someone pulls Bobinho up, points out there are only 11 players and he claims a ‘wooooosh”.
