"There's going to be a time out there when you have to make a decision"

Feck reading all that before a match, would get a headache.....

Nice speech, not just us who have it though.

By the time you've run through all that the balls gone out for a throw in and we've thrown it straight to their unmarked twinkle toe-d playmaker..

I'd read it.

And if I got in a position to make that decision, I'd remember it.

And I'd go in for that tackle, run that extra yard or make that pass.

But then I'm a shite footballer. :-)

That's survived four years!

I discussed that with Powelly the day he got the job. It's a quote from Ian McGeechan just before a British Lions test match in, I think, Australia. He'd never heard it, so I got the transcript. He said he'd put it up in the dressing room, and he was as good as his word...

It's meant to be a lingering thought in a player's mind, just to raise it's head when they're tired.

Glad to see it lived on!
