Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Racists, burglars, murderers, terrorists, drunk drivers and reality tv producers have all been on the go for quite a while now. Must they all be doing something right too?

    An utterly daft comment which has nothing whatsoever to do with the point.

    OK, how about "The Armstrong has been around *and generally successful* for a very long time, so there must be some positive aspects that bring people back year after year." ("And let's not change those aspects.")

    Yes, intentionally so, just like saying that something has merit just because it has been around for a long time.

    In my experience things that are around a long time generally do have merit hence the reason they have been around.

    On a separate point about Gonzaga dominance to date, its nothing special as Kevin Barry, Dublin and Phibsboro have all done 4 in a row, while Sackville did 6 in a row.

    There are hundreds of examples of enduring things that are bad, sometimes people are just too unimaginative or lazy to improve them.

    Just because other clubs dominated the Armstrong doesn't mean that it is a good thing. The Heidenfeld this year is a much more exciting league than the Armstrong, just as well as I will probably be playing in it next season.
