Off Topic Christmas Thread...

For me it has been a battle against prostrate cancer without getting my function removed, I had the right side removed at the end of October, the problem area and after a belly full of radiation I'm hoping that is it. I'm looking forward to Christmas, the usual smelly ****e will do for me but it's been a hard year so to see the girls smile on the day will be the best..

All the best lads and ha'waaay, I know I'm a tad early but I'm not here much now..

Enjoy..<ok>

All the best Joe, having family around is,what's important for me, at my age not bothered about presents a happy healthy family is far more important with my wife in her fourth year of cancer remission so all is good.

I must be an annoying sod to some people, I seem to have a charmed life no matter how many risks I take.

I have great health, people who care for me and wealthy people who want to employ me ... no idea why tbh.

My only wish is that all the people I know can be happy, healthy and wealthy enough to buy me a pint at the match.

Not that arsed about Xmas this year, just want a quiet one with some quality time with my little fella.

This year has been awful, going through a divorce, mental health issues, contact issues and money issues. Hardest one of my life.

It's been a tough one, but what doesn't Kill you makes you stronger.

All the best Joe and everyone else out there, wishing you all the very best :emoticon-0148-yes:

Been the most crazy year of my life for good and bad reasons. It's knocked **** out of me tbh but I've persevered and got myself out of a very dark place thanks to some humbling support from my friend network.

Health and work are my priorities for next year. If I'm honest I've spent the last few years trying to give myself a heart attack for an easy way out which doesn't involve putting loved ones through a suicide, but now I look at lovely people struggling with health while I sit around overweight trying to sabotage myself. It's not on. I've a responsibility to my health which I've been shirking and I know a lot of good people who'd do anything for a clean bill of health. I've been so disrespectful to these people and my own body so my sincere apologies.

For all the gruffness and bollox I sometimes read on your board about your football club you really are a sentimental lot at heart aren't you. It's threads like this that ruin your reputation because it shows what really matters and it matters to most people wherever they come from and whoever they are. Like me who comes from the other end of the Country it's family now and has been for a long time as I've gotten older. Presents, tinsel, trees, commercial crap shoved down your throat is a very long way down the list. I genuinely wish you all well and hope you get what you wish for,

I'm also in a pretty good place right now, health ok, family ok and my lifestyle is the best i've ever had. So I don't want to be greedy when it comes to wishes. But, I want to wish all the best to the guys on here and especially those who have been through a trying year one way or another namely, Burley, Joe and Brian..just hope 2019 bring you all health and happiness. also...Please Please let SAFC get out of this godforsaken division.

Flanders it might be a godforsaken league but it's got us all in a better place football wise.Winning games and a team of energetic triers seems light years away from what we've watched in front of us these past few seasons. Hard work will see us promoted and so far the lads have been putting plenty of hard work in so it's looking good. Merry Xmas mate.

I know mate, you're absolutely right, but I just hate seeing a fixture list where we are playing Fleetwood, Accrington, Rochdale etc.... But as you say, we are on the road to recovery, so enjoy winning games..its been a while.

Unfortunately, I've lost all my older family now. I've met and fallen in love with an amazing woman, though. I've not been able to celebrate Christmas for a few years, but she's begging me to stop being alone and eating pizza on Christmas day. I might just take her up on the offer.

Best wishes to every single poster on here.

Not to good a year health wise
Backs been playing up quite a bit causing now both arm pain
However nothing compared to some people
Just thankful I can still function pretty well.
I’ve lost over 2 stone in weight and I suppose it has helped a little
I’ve cut out pints of beer now drink bottles and cans I feel it’s worked
Together with a low fat diet little bread and potatoes.
I still have my regular holidays.
I’ve read with interst most posts on here every day and do realise that a few have more serious issues and understand they have more to worry about than me
I wish them and all posters on here pain free healthy and happy future
Merry Christmas and a happy new year
