The Last Post

[Wolfmother]

Mine looked pretty shitty but. Wish i had 4 hands to facepalm with lol.

I didn't see your posts but it doesn't surprise me .
Hope you realised something about yourself there

 

[Dawgfather]

We are all praying for you, Izzy. For your sake alone I hope we get the premiership this year.

I didn't see your posts but it doesn't surprise me .

Mainly to read posts a bit more thoroughly before responding.

For the people who saw my original shitty half cocked post but not my apology which was deleted (part of an argument)...i will repeat it coz i want anyone who read it to realize i had misread the thread and throught it was another im quitting the dogs/kennel thread. A few of those showed up in the last 24 hours after the loss.

i fkt up and deserved the abuse i got on face value of what i said. What i said though was based on a misunderstanding though. Sorry ppl. Dont delete this other mods.

I figured that out for myself you cant be that much of a **** i had to read twice i thought was another im leaving thread as well glad i read again

Lol
I did that once with zee
I completely miss read what he said
I went off like a pork chop
Then re read what he said
Lucky for me, I avoided the embarrassment
I edited my post before anyone read it.

Would have been embarrassing if I didn't read back over it haha

I've followed the Bulldogs since 1962; that is 55 seasons. And bloody hell, there have been plenty of lows but they were eclipsed by the highs. It was reading Papa Het's post: "A large proportion of once loyal fans have given up on the team". Having read it through I thought "Yeah. Fuck it. I'm outta here".

There are two reasons for this.

The first is that I'm totally fed up with the ad nauseam display of tonight's error ridden incompetence from a side coached by a one syllable moron, plus the low life refereeing. The second is that I have terminal cancer and according to the experts I'll be at the checkout around October this year.

Its not the cancer I'm bitching about, I've copped that sweet. But Geez, I need more than the Bulldogs to bring positives into my life and I discovered that its not the Aussie cricket team either. Maybe I'll take on my wife at ping pong.

So farewell and all the best to you Kennelers who are left. We may yet see a modern miracle with the Bulldogs raising the Provan-Summons Trophy on Grand Final day.

Fuk Izzy, feel for you bro.

Izzy mate,

Please keep posting as long as you can
We are here for you till the end

I hope the club knows about this
A loyal fan for so long deserves some gesture from the club

My husband does not post here on the kennel but he does enjoy reading the posts and taking in the discussions from everyone. He has heard me talk of Assassin, SOH, Drop Bear, Trendsetter and so many others who have touched my heart and kept me coming back to the forum to read their thoughts and just to see how they are doing. So, as he picked me up from school this afternoon the first thing he said to me was " You need to go on the kennel when you get home because one of your mates who posts there is in a bad way. It is not good news, there is talk of last post and cancer and from someone who has been a fan of the club for just a few more years than you. Can't remember the name...."

I was not looking forward to reading this thread, nor learning the identity of the poster. When I saw that name Izzy Forreal, my head spun.

Izzy, I have always appreciated the input you have made to the kennel and your contribution to some very interesting and lively debates. Reading the messages from others here show that they feel the same and I am not lying when I say that I read your post and their responses with a tear in my eye. Like many, we have never met and it is hard to get a handle on someone as a person when you have never seen them face to face. The only connection we have is that of a footy team, something constant and important in out lives. I still like to think of those who post here as friends due to their love of the same footy team.

Absolutely devastating news to have been given and so many conflicting emotions must be going through you at the moment. Life is fleeting and precious and in some way we always hope that we can be bulletproof and ten foot tall, but that is not the way things work as you have so unfortunately found out.

You speak of the 55 years of support to the Bulldogs; a lifetime of highs and lows, the good and the bad the happy and the sad, but even now at this moment I reckon you still have the passion for the game even if you don't feel you do.

What you chose to do is entirely up to you and really none of us have the right to tell you how you should spend whatever time you have left. Your life, your rules, your choice. What I will say though and I am sure others will agree is that we hold you dear to our hearts and you will always be welcome to continue to post here about anything for as long as you chose and are able; the way you feel, the things you want to do, anything even if it is not about footy.

"Experts" are usually right, but they can also be wrong to an extent. Look at Assassin! Case in point.

As long as you feel able and as long as you have strength, don't give up on things. Everyday things like going for a walk, reading a book, seeing a movie give us a focus point that can give us much joy and satisfaction. Footy is not the end all and be all but it will still play a part in your life. Do what you like when you like, make some good new memories for the family.

You say that you are copping the cancer sweet, the acceptance phase of such things in life, meaning that you have gone through period of the diagnosis and the effect on you and your family, the next stage where you all come together to try and resolve things in a unified way and then onto the anger, guilt and sometimes even a resentment of the way things are going. Takes a special person to cope with that and takes a brave person to come out as you have with something so personal.

I wish you nothing less than peace and tranquillity, happiness and laughter. Keep close to family and friends and fight the good fight.

In emotional times like this it needs a woman's touch to properly express the feelings flying around. Beautifully said.

Wish you all the best... Stay positive.

 

[coach]

Brother, thanks for sharing something so personal. I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless. With the Bulldogs, win or lose the jersey and memories you have of your team remain.
