Walking alongside the Colligan River

Today I took a stroll along the beautiful Colligan River. There was rain in the air and the cool breeze on my skin enhanced my walk.  This is somewhere I walk often , yet it is never the same and the seasonal changes are very dramatic. Today its peaceful and calm, even a little shallow. The greenery is coming into full bloom for the summer months. Its wonderful to just sit and listen to the silence and sounds of nature. I'll come back another day when maybe the weather is wild and the river is swollen and roaring down to the sea.

Where's the consistency

Its nothing unusual for managers in the premiership to be sacked on the whim of the club owners if they feel they are not getting value for money.  This can happen without given the manager a chance. But they will tell you its business. Have you noticed how on the other hand week after week referees get away with incorrect decisions, some ludicrous. Its all very well to say, well they are human and they can make mistakes. That isnt the point. What one ref would consider a foul or a sending off another would not and as for the offside rule, well thats another days talking point. Yet these guys, professional refs, who mess up week after week are treated no less than gods and beware of speaking your mind on the subject. Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger both brilliant managers are not alllowed to give their opinions without expecting a punishment. And think about how a bad decision could not only lose a team points, but it could affect their overall end of season position which equals money. And that is bad business.  No consistency..no respect..
