Red under the bed Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 From the famous poemIf people all around you are losing their heads and you can keep yours, ... then you will be a man my son.Come on all of your moaners/ short timers. Please take a more constructive view of things.The season is over as far as league positions are concerned. Lets use the remaining few games to bring on the youngsters and try a few new ideas.BT is a new manager, what did you really expect in his first year?Lets stand up and be counted. CTID or City till things get a bit rough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red under the bed Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 isnt that a line from mike bassett england manager?(If people all around you are losing their heads and you can keep yours, ... then you will be a man my son.) ←It is also by a lesser known man called Rudyard Kipling, who also makes very nice cakes !Just to bore you[iF] If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt youBut make allowance for their doubting too,If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,Or being hated, don't give way to hating,And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same;If you can bear to hear the truth you've spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breath a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;If all men count with you, but none too much,If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!--Rudyard Kipling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
