VINDALOO – 6/10 – Easy, isn’t it Vinny? Bang! Bang! Take me back to the safe space of the subs bench…So as Kasper cackled from the comfort of his couch with a big bowl of Nutella, young Vindaloo was caught like a kid in
Pennywise’s deadlights. Thankfully he recovered his composure, mostly, after a couple of flappy moments and sheer luck, to define his afternoon with a splendid save late on.
TONY THE TIGER – 6.5/10 – There are roasters in our support who just don’t understand the importance of The Brickie. Days like today are a fine learning mechanism for these phish-addled gum-bumpers – days requiring little finesse and a heavy load of grind. Tony provided a lesson for all in coping with skite-ing footballs and rampaging jobbers in order to fortify our resistance as they gave it a real go.

CRUSTY THE CLOWN – 6.5/10 – And breathe… Occupied as much as a Dublin post office at Easter, the big mhan had a torrid day’s work. But as with nearly every performance since a return that was almost more of a surprise
than Lord Lucan rocking up in the Sarrie Heid, he stayed focussed and on-point to cope with a lot of troubling pressure.
