The people
Several recent happenings in Colony football have been steadily brewing up into a potent and not very palatable mixture, who have been on the swallowing end are most unappreciative of their own particular ration and it could well be that the servers are going to hear a lot about their part in the affairs pretty soon.
My first item concerns the integrity of sportswriters.
The members of the public are quick to form their opinion of a writer who is entrusted with the job of covering and reporting their favourite sport. It does not take them long to decide whether a man knows what he is writing about or whether he does not.. and similarly, if it is justified, they soon build up a certain falth in his judgment,
