Pragmatic expectations and serial divorcees

1500
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I spoke to a serial divorcee some years ago and he suggested that after one bad marriage, you’re more likely to plunge headfirst into another, then another, than your average person, despite all the warning signs.

He was driven by a need to put things right in his life.  Regretful of lost time, he wanted to get on with finding a secure, lasting, future relationship.

Parma were a tiny club for most of their existence, occupying the fourth tier of Italian football, but they rose inextricably to become one of the top clubs in Europe.  When Rangers knocked them out of the Champions League qualifiers in the 90s, they were sixth top seed in the Uefa rankings.  When the money dried up and insolvency grabbed them a few years ago it must have been hard to accept their place – a club with little substance going for it, but with fans expecting glory.

News this week that after liquidation a newco Parma would kick off at the bottom tier of the professional game in Italy is a morality tale.  Just as my pal, the divorcee, was compelled to plunge into a ‘lasting and successful’ relationship at the first opportunity, few people who pick up the pieces of insolvent football clubs seem to be blessed with pragmatic expectations.  A second, even more damaging liquidation, haunts in the shadows.

    If you read this that Jim McCann is wasting my Grace song, he keeps on going on about them being childhood sweethearts, it’s annoying even more because he sings the song so well but obviously doesn’t really care about the story !

     

     

    I blame you for making me watch that video about Joseph Mary Plunkett ! Sometimes being ignorant is bliss, but I am glad I watched that video and realised the “real” story

    btw when the utube vid ends the song doesn’t,Mitch goes into a long drum solo whilst Jimi goes behind the amps n does something very naughty with his snib,comes back out,finishes the song and starts Voodoo Chile,the gig is superb.

    @Lennon n Mc. Aye class ..the boy does it proud…

     

    I always say to my wee students when they’re copying some style or other,

     

    “Imagine being the first to do that” then they get some idea of the importance

     

    of the piece. R.I.P Jimi.

    I suppose it depends on who you know

     

    The only reason we were put in care

     

    Was because the trial was so damning

     

    There was no wall to wall and mock indignation like baby p

     

    And hypocrisy
