Humility and achieve...Likeability is not important.<br />Humility and achievement are compatible.<br />Humility and pride are also compatible. <br />They are not opposites.<br />All of the above make fascinating debates. In each case I'll argue on whichever is the least popular side!<br />Good luck to Bohs tonight.<br />Now if Sligo Rovers can only get away from the bottom of the league.Michael Farryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166338392128797311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005314134013556886.post-41409828552528376592009-07-22T12:54:10.678+01:002009-07-22T12:54:10.678+01:00"Humility is much overrated"
That could..."Humility is much overrated"<br /><br />That could be a motion for one of your debates.<br /><br />It's an interesting one. How important is likeability? Are not humility and achievement compatible?<br /><br />I would say they are: exhibit A must be Leo Messi.<br /><br />Anyway, sold out signs up in the two main stands at Dalymount tonight. In all likelihood, though, it's probably another false dawn for Irish football.

Also the stadium is very impressive and when the new stand is completed it will be a great venue. <br /><br />As you get older you realise humility is a much overrated virtue!Michael Farryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166338392128797311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005314134013556886.post-58030055716294520482009-07-21T17:24:53.885+01:002009-07-21T17:24:53.885+01:00My first post on your blog, Michael, though I'...My first post on your blog, Michael, though I've been visiting sporadically for a couple of years.<br /><br />I didn't make it to Tallaght last night. In fact, shamefully, I've yet to make it to the new stadium. Watching on Sky, it was both <br />(a) great to see a full house and good atmosphere and <br />(b) disheartening that the next time there's a game in Tallaght the capacity will be back down to 3300 and it may not even be full.<br /><br />As regards the jeering of Ronaldo, I never condone that sort of thing but he doesn't exactly do himself any favours. He possesses none of the humility of Messi or Kaka, for example.<br /><br />Anyway, good to hear you enjoyed it. I'll be at Dalymount tomorrow night as Bohs try to keep the flag flying in Europe.<br /><br />ShaneShanenoreply@blogger.com
