00:29So, I suppose when 20 or 30 lads, 40, 50 lads are running at you,

00:53Unlucky and well done and all the best in the playoffs.

00:55Unlucky and well done, yeah, shake hands, yeah, well done.

01:02Nothing too, you know what I mean, nothing past the playoffs.

01:07Unlucky and well done.

01:19Yeah.
