That’s All Folks!

If there’s one thing that being away from social media has taught me it’s that feeling the need to have an instant take about everything is a feeling we can all learn to live without.

And the same goes for this blog as well.

Wasn’t it Marcus Aurelius who said, “You always own the option of having no opinion”? Yes it was him because I googled “quotes about opinions” to find something appropriate.

Anyway, it’s been fun writing it and it’s nice to leave while the Whitecaps have a likeable team that work hard and try to play good football.

But leave I must (well maybe not “must” but I want to and that’s what matters).

Thanks to all who read, commented, criticized and praised over the years. A solid 5.5/10 for all your efforts.

(Memo to self: Just for once make a decent effort of cheking for typos!)

  1. I always looked forward to your newsletter over the years. I will definitely miss your wit and analysis after each match. I think you can take some credit for the improved form of VWFC.

  2. Thank you very much. However it was obvious for some time that you had passed your “Best before date”. You were a fun read, and much appreciated.

  3. I remember your entertaining efforts for the Vancouver Sun and was happy when you started “Soccer Shorts “, continuing to put a frequently engaging slant on my favourite team.

    I felt it was a “small” sign of respect for the care you put into your scribbling that I found myself looking up more than a few words – always to my benefit.
    Thanks, Mark

  5. A sad day for the Whitecaps faithful. Yours was a perfect mixture of sincerity and comedy that will be sorely missed in my post-game routine. All the best wherever the road may take you…

  6. My hat is off to you. You lasted a lot longer than I did.  I’ve deeply admired and enjoyed your writing over the years. You’ll be missed from my daily feed. Thanks Russell, for all the fun.
