Had to dig out a red check flannel shirt from the depths of my cupboard, and found a red scarf (my wife got it from a Bayern Munich game, but whatever, it will do), wore them proudly today. Was voting bright and early, was busier than last time (very safe Lab seat) but not much to go on there.
Let’s get some inspiring messages on the go!
Well, it’s real simple. You got two more quarters and that’s it. Now most of you have been playing this game for ten years. You got two more quarters and after that most of you will never play this game again as long as you live. You all have known me for a while… and for a long time now, you’ve been hearing me talk about being perfect. Well, I want you to understand somethin’. To me, being perfect… is not about that scoreboard out there. It’s not about winning. It’s about you and your relationship to yourself and your family and your friends. Bein’perfect… is about being able to look your friends in the eye… and know that you didn’t let them down. Because you told 'em the truth. And that truth is, is that you did everything that you could. There wasn’t one more thing that you could’ve done. Can you live in that moment… as best you can with clear eyes… and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that, gentlemen, then you’re perfect. I want you to take a moment… and I want you to look each other in the eyes. I want you to put each other in your hearts forever. Because forever’s about to happen here in just a few minutes. I want you to close your eyes… and I want you to think about John McDonnell, who is your brother. And he would die to be out there on that field with you tonight. And I want you to put that in your hearts. Boys, my heart is full. My heart’s full.
