We lost 7-6 to Leyton Orient on penos (after 3-3 after extra time when we were 2-0 down until the 44th minute). Absolutely dominated them from the second half all the way through to the pens. Hit the post, hit the crossbar, their 'keeper made 7 or 8 great saves but in the end we couldn't do it. Brilliant game though.

His daughter wrote a lovely open letter:

My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn't help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.
To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you've had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too…
Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I've ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.

I got invited for an interview with Lidl the other day, decided against it as I'm currently being trained as a supervisior at WHSmith and I like my current job. didn't realise Lidl staff pull down almost £8ph though. Why are their stores so crap if they can afford that sort of wage?

The hours are shit iirc, or at least the shifts are.

Totally lost for words. It's strange how the death of someone you've never even met could hit you so hard. RIP Robin.

Just downloaded my first ever audiobooks from iTunes; Sir Alex Ferguson's and Sir Bobby Robson's, whose is actually narrated by the man himself. Settling down to listen to a bit before football kicks off.

The verdict will be announced on the 11th of September.

Never knew court cases took so fucking long. If Law & Order were set in real time I'd never bloody watch it!

I fucking love Bristol City's kits this year. So clean and with collars. Although they do look like rugby shirts.

Currently losing 1-0 to New York, missed the goal but was scored by Wright-Phillips.

He's better than Shaun, he's better than Shaaaaaaun, Bradley Wright-Phillips, he's better than Shaun!

We got hammered 4-0 by Swansea today although I thought we looked really good personally.

Our shirts have been sent out today, if you pre ordered they sent you yours today (don't want to take mine off). Excited for the season now, it's getting real.

Seriously considering getting the remastered Last of Us when it's released.

At the moment this is the only thing that the PS4 has got going for it for me, the Xbox One has the remastered Halo collection for it but neither have anything major to make me buy one or the other at the moment.

Gone done for speeding before I went on holiday, had a lovely letter to come home to! Get to go on a driver's awareness test for 4 hours of watching pictures of brains splattered all over windscreens \o/

I watched Pretty Woman for the first time expecting it to be utter gash but it actually wasn't that bad. Young Julia Roberts was smokin', shame about the crazy.

Here's our away top

Not liking the sponsor's logo on that top...

I don't think we've had/are having a kit launch, our tops have just been "teased" by our Twitter account being worn by "famous" fans.

Love how Kevo's turned super Irish now. Don't love how he passed up the opportunity for a shit cheesy pick up line with the air hostess by replying it could be her when she asked what he was wearing.

Neymar's going through the typical teenage phase of "I can grow facial hair, so I will grow facial hair" and looks like a dick.

How Hulk gets in this team ahead of Willian, or Lucas Moura, or Bernard, or anyone with a Brazilian passport I don't know, he's absolute muck.

A nickname like Hulk and he goes down easier than a £20 prostitute.

I don't live in Ireland nor have I ever been but I met some Irish girls on holiday last year, said they were from Athy and that it's a shithole so... I'm just joining in with the Irish theme.
