Sir, – As a fiftysomething northsider I find it easy to identify with Vinny, and his weekly diary (Against the Odds, Roddy L’Estrange, Sports Wednesday) is a welcome diversion in these challenging times.
Recently, however I have become increasingly concerned about Vinny’s health issues and Angie’s redundancy – not to mention sharing his disappointment at blowing his chance of the captain’s prize by going out of bounds on the 18th at Royal Dublin. If it wasn’t for bad luck it seems Vinny would have no luck at all.
Dare I ask if Vinny’s fortunes are likely to improve any time soon? His beloved Dubs to win the All Ireland perhaps? – Yours, etc,
