Up for the Cup

Today didn't got off to the start I had hoped for, but there's plenty of time to put things right. 

We Whites are due to clamber on to a teatime flight from Leeds Bradford to Belfast, before heading up to the North Coast to begin our (OK, "my") Irish League Cup Final preparations.

My beloved Bannsiders were nowhere near the Final when I booked.  But a couple of  incredible wins have meant that the weekend to come will hopefully be one to live long in the memory.

Yes, for Vanessa, Jamie, Charlotte, it might not all be about the football.  In fact, it won't be in any way about the football as they are not amongst the 2,500 Coleraine fans lucky enough to have tickets for Saturday's game.  Plus, they're not arsed.  But there will be plenty of other distractions and attractions for them.  Kids' stuff, women's stuff - you get the idea.

Which brings you to this morning's fun and games when I woke up to find that the hole where my recently extracted tooth once lived had become infected.  Excellent.

However, a quick visit to the dentist to have it packed with iodine and to get a prescription for alcoholic anti-biotics should hopefully do the job until we get back on Monday evening.    

COME ON COLERAINE!
