conspiracy theory - coleraine style



Is it an unfortunate mistake on the part of the organisers? Surely our esteemed goalie didn't misread the the dress-code on the invitation? I believe it is yet another conspiracy against Coleraine Football Club.

On the back page of today's News Letter there is a photo showing representatives from teams competing in the CIS Insurance cup this season. Now look closely and you will see that the player second on the left is not wearing his team's official kit. While everyone else is sporting their colours proudly Davy O'Hare has turned up in a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a coleraine polo shirt. It is obviously an attempt by the powers that be to stop Coleraine showing off their lovely new diadora strip, thus people won't be encouraged to buy it and Coleraine will continue to have money problems. Terrible state of affairs. Well we can all put it right - if each reader of this post goes out and buys a Coleraine shirt... then there'll be three more sold than would have been sold otherwise.

I'm just glad Coleraine are there at all (clubs colours or no.) It was this time last year that we'd started a season not knowing whether we'd be there the following week. I remember vividly the "last ever game." It was against local rivals (well, not really rivals) Portstewart. I can't describe how it feels watching a team, listening to their heart monitor get slower and slower and waiting for the end. We played Portstewart again two days ago and won 6-2. How times have changed. Anyway it gladened my heart to read the statement on Coleraine's website from the IFA saying they can find no reason why Coleraine should be excluded from the league this year. Onwards and upwards. And don't worry Davy, you may not be in kit like the rest of those posers but you look like you could take any of them in a fight.
