Re: Guinness, for about 10 years I drank nothing else but I can't remember the last time I had a pint

I don’t mind Guinness. Not something I’d routinely order but I’ll have it occasionally if I don’t fancy the rest of the ale selection.

Insightful, I know.

It depends on the individual. For example,  I have a very unsophisticated palette and low standards so I don't mind it.

I haven't tried it with the new Nitrosurge device. Wrt the regular draught Guinness can, I'd say it's adequate. You'd be disappointed if you got it in a pub, but not bad enough to bring it back to the bar and ask for a replacement pint.

Far too many years ago I started dating a girl from Portmarnock after we hit it off in a Blackpool nightclub. The first time I went to visit her in Dublin (Holyhead - Dun Laoghaire) her and her pals from Trinity College all watched me in anticipation as I was to sample my first "real Guinness". Of course, ever the diplomat, I waxed lyrical about its splendour but my stupid tastebuds couldn't tell the difference.

Reports that we still can't spend the £40m raised from selling Ramsey is very concerning if true. How are the finances so dire especially after having the highest turnover ever last season on the back of playing in the Champions League? The squad depth is looking thin - a couple of injuries could easily derail the season early. Our top-six rivals have mostly all strengthened.

But that's the problem. We are not short of cash indeed we have owners that want to spend but are prevented from doing so. The absurdity of PSR is it seems to only look at revenue and not at the overall financial health of a club.You can have mountains of debt as long as you have the revenue to service it. Being debt free like us counts for nothing.

The answer is that our wages as a % of revenue has been the problem and we are playing catch up.
