Defeat...

“But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.” Paulo Coelho.

They acquitted themselves well, I think. They lost to the better team, whilst carrying the weight of an entire city on their shoulders. I didn't go to Old Trafford. I watched the game in a city centre pub full of Hull FC fans, with three lesbians and a packet of Quavers for company. Some things just aren't meant to be.
