I have to say you look horrible in pink turk but your assistant was doing a fantastic job !!! ;)
I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.

Couldn't a man's game support prostate cancer research?

I don't mean disrespect to the chosen cause but there isn't much we can buy nowadays that hasn't got the pink breast cancer ribbon on it, about time awareness was raised for a disease that takes the life of as many men as breast cancer does women.

And to bag a club for not supporting a cause chosen by someone else is a little rich - clubs often have chosen charities they support and also create financial budgets based on sales of things such as budgets. Charity is only charity if someome chooses to support it.

Well smac we did support prostate cancer through the year, if your so passionate about supporting mens causes and not womens causes no one is stopping you putting your hand up and doing something.

Correct ,most clubs supported and raised dollars for prostate cancer for the Call to Arms matches yellow arm bands ,its just not promoted as much as Breast Cancer.

Maybe next year smac can put his hand up to promote the call to arms prostate cancer drive, with over 8000 posts on here it seems he has the time.

The league should have sent out a memo to all 'home' clubs that they didnt have to print out a match day programme. As far as i know, the league fines 'home' clubs that dont do it in the finals.

I think most clubs would have rather had this done by the budget people, although its a good opportunity for the clubs to bang on about their sponsors free of charge when they do these programmes.

The only thing is that the people who do the budget would have to put the selected teams in, which means that they wouldnt be available to complete until lunchtime friday.

But what about when the people don't rock up to sell them?

That isn't very good.

I do plenty of work for various causes, test - I just don't have the need to publicly bang the drum about it to make myself feel good.

Test, don't be so defensive.
It was merely a question and a good one at that.

He was in no way having a go at the cause in question.
