something this pure and true and special could never last......we all knew this.
we had a good run with the #SOD campaign, we tried, we toiled, we fought....davey did his bit brilliantly, we just couldnt match his performances.
we will always have the 10 months of the 2013/4 season to look back on in the years to come.
thanks wee davey, you have made this season the best in living memory with your fantastic efforts, but a star as bright as yours can only shine for a little while, and now its faded and gone out.
James Whitcomb Riley says it best with his poem - 'he is not sacked'
I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is sacked. He is just away.
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers there.
And you—oh you, who the wildest yearn
For an old-time step, and the glad return,
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here.
Think of him still as the same. I say,
He is not sacked—he is just away.”
