Catalans v Hull FC

Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Hahaha..nope, because I was generally bigger than most, smarter than most & was a generally all round nice person..whatever that's got to do with anything.

All I hear on this forum is BLAH BLAH BLAH..excuses, excuses, excuses.

When my son was born 7 weeks premature and had lung problems & had to be put in an incubation unit (& didn't come out of hospital until he was 10 weeks old) it was a tough time..did I take time off from work..no i didn't. Firstly because actually it was a massively stressful time & work took my mind off the fact my son might die.
Could I have helped him get better..no, because the nurses and doctors were doing eveything they could. did my partner need more moral/practical support than what she already had from me despite she having a horrific pregnancy..no. Our first child and my support for her was without question and was enough, she knew that I had a job to do and when she & baby got back home I'd be there for them both at the time when it would be needed most.

So for all you 'idiots' out there banging on about how I'm embaressing myself then you're wrong.
Yes I appreciate that DH has a newborn kid, but the baby was born on the 11th June, that was a full 10 days before the Catalans game..sorry but as much as it's great he has a kid and stuff..being away for a couple of days makes jack difference. However it would have made a difference to the team.

As for 'mandatory' paternity..so what, he could have said, yeah we're in a spot, I'll play..but that's me..nothing can prepare for parenthood the first time but even at a much younger age than DH with my family hundreds of miles away I was able to balance things, so I know for a matter of FACT that two days away just isn't going to make any difference whatsoever.

I've said my piece on the matter and nothing any of you can say will change my mind.
Radford is still a loser of a coach and needs binning off for the sake of the club.'"

Biggest load of bollox I've ever read on here and that is saying a lot. What works for you, doesn't work for everyone else. Hope everything turned out OK, by the way, just me being human or humane, not robotic?????????????
