Our boys at the world Cup

[Rupert]

It has actually been quite exciting listening to the games. I happen to be on night duty this week and there are two of us working the segregation block because one of our gentlemen is on constant watch, so we take turns doing two hours on and two hours off, the two hours off keeping an eye on the rest of the block dwellers (very few this week because they tend not to misbehave when they face losing their TV as a penalty and something like the World Cup is on).

The lad on constant watch keeps his radio on low volume for our benefit while he sleeps. Only Talksport, but you can't have everything, but it has been fascinating listening to some of the games, especially the ones with our boys involved.

As luck has it, Sunday night/Monday morning is the last shift for the week, so I will be listening to England trying to overcome Mexico at altitude while watching somebody sleep just in case he tries to do himself in.

On the bright side, I can go to bed and sleep on Monday morning while the rest of you will be trying to stay awake or ringing in with very unconvincing sicknotes to explain your absence from work.

I'm guessing our pre-season is being impacted by all this success.  Our boys will need a decent break after their efforts.

It looked like Tim took a long throw at the start of the Belgium v Senegal game. He has a throw as good or better than Sess so wonder why we didn't use it last season.

I think Chestnuts has done really well for Belgium spot on attitude very  versatile bit of a unsung player.

The first of our boys will be going home tonight, good luck to Diop and LDF hope they both have great games. I guess from an immediate financial position it would be more beneficial if Diop progressed although talk now is of us keeping him rather than selling.
