[Copps is Magic]

Unfortunately true. Get well soon to him. Necessitated a shift around in the Barnsley board as below.

Let's hope that he can beat it.

Goes without saying from me, he has my best wishes and prayers to beat it. Please God

Hear hear. Best of luck PC.

Awful disease for any family to face, i hope he wins his fight with it. It takes too many good people.

Cryne, not Clyne

[Bentley Bullet]

I didn't like to say owt because I didn't want to detract from the serious message, but I must admit I thought it was about Patsy Clyne at first glance.

My best wishes to Mr Cryne and his family. Hope he beats this dreadful disease.

It was a genuine mistake that needed pointing out. (I knew it was Cryne). But who could have predicted it would be done in such an abjectly humourless way?

As sad as this thread is, and as much as I wish PC and his loved ones all the best in their battle, I actually had a little splutter of laughter when I read Esdaille's post. Probably because I've never heard the expression before rather than an indication of the level of humour, but it still made me chuckle!
