Robin's Diary

The feelgood factor is back!!

Forget about Westminster.?At present, we don’t have a say in what happens, we can’t affect it, so there’s no point in worrying about it, unless you want to fill papers and news programmes!

What we need in a crisis is the feelgood factor, and sport can sometimes bring it back in barrowloads.?There are probably many of you who, like me, have never really watched Ladies Football, but after the quarter and semi-finals of the Euros, we are once again in a major final, and I think it’s great.

Having watched Bradford City for many years, I understand that if two teams of similar abilities strive for the victory, the fact it may be lower league quality, doesn’t really matter when the teams are of a similar standard – however, on last night’s performance, and the quality of the goals, it was every bit as good to watch as men’s football.

Just at the moment, we desperately need positive news, and it really does make a difference, even if it just pushes bad news off the front page for a day or two.

So, fingers crossed for a great game on Sunday, and let’s all get behind Team England, and enjoy what could be a very rare major Championship win, and feel good and proud to be English!!????????
