Alan Shearer was def at Largs. He wanted his A licence and decided to go to Scotland instead of doing the English FA course after speaking to Newcastle youth coach Tommy Craig.  Many top coaches studied there. Jose Mourinho is another who saw the light!

Scottish education always the best  :003:

Heard along the line that Barry W. was at Largs doing his latest course. While he was there he met Alan Shearer and got kinda pally.

Now this is the good bit. They had some agreement that if and when Barry gets a ICT testimonial game, Shearer would come up with a team and pull on an ICT shirt himself. How good would that be! Perhaps our greatest ever loan signing  :clapping04:

I'm sure Denzil said he met Paulo Maldini on holiday once !

Interesting to read that Poll has retired from International games!  :015:

He said he feels it is right to give another English ref a chance.

He is another of those arrogant self loving refs who think the crowd has turned up to watch him. Along the lines of Frisk. Good rid. to him.

Now if we can only get Calum Murray, Iain Brines, Dougie MacDonald and co. onto the International scene! Highlight their mistakes and make them retire, completely!

They are claiming it to be the goal of the tournament! Quickly forgot about Argentina didn't they!

Tongue in cheek but Steve Wright's mob claiming it as one of the greatest world cup goals ever. Getting a little bit excited me thinks.

Build them up only to knock them over !!!

First match i remember going to was Carlisle Utd v Reading. About 1979/80  2nd Div. Lived just around the corner from Brunton Park when the crowds seemed huge.

Then moved north and watched Thistle/Elgin I think with what seemed a tiny crowd. The quality of football of course was far superior !!!!

Ghana or any african nation. They know how to party !

Go mental when they score. Non stop drumming. I met some Cameroon fans at the 90 world cup and they were fantastic.

MUPPET OF THE YEAR AWARD ..... drum roll please ............... goes to ................

Ian Wright ..... da dah !!!!

Shrieking like a girl after the France / South Korea game. Desailly sitting beside him obviously upset and yet that arse can't help but laugh and rub it in.

Think back to the N. Ireland / England qualifier when all he could do was throw the rattle out of the pram and sulk like a 2 year old. (sorry to any 2 year olds - no offence intended).

What does this man offer to a match analysis? Nothing. Absolute joke. I'd rather listen to Jimmy Hill than Ian "down wiv it man" Wright !

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!! 

England have been shocking in 2 games. No excuses about heat against T&T. Devoid of any great ideas and strikers look poor. It would take Rooney a couple of games to get fully match fit and will they still be in by then? A decent team will punish them.

Ecuador? Looked ok - decent enough side.

Germany? Always solid and have actually played quite well.

England World beaters? Me think not !

Pure and Simple:

Scots love to see England lose and English feel the same about Scots.

It seems there is no place for fun and a bit of ribbing. There is nothing posted anywhere on this site that is racist. It's all been good clean fun in perhaps a "jealous we're not there" kind of way. The Aussies have taken more of a verbal bashing than anyone!

Political Correctness has taken over.

Big change from Oban tournie or Keith!

Too much. And to top it there is a programme now running with Ricky Tomlinson trying to trace the 66 shirts! For feks sake.

Hopefully Uri Geller will do his usual bit, urge England to touch a photo of Rooneys foot and ferk it up for them (again) !

Personally, don't like

England - nuff said

Holland - Arrogant

Itay - Bit dull really

Germany - Nah

Argentina - Maybe on a good day, nah, dirty.

Australia - couldn't stand Aussies mouthing off about another

game

Ivory Coast - Drogba - No way

Ghana - Essien - No way

So it's either Brazil or Spain- too obvious.

I think I'll settle for Czech Republic.

This world cup I hadn't really got caught up in the anti- English thing (too much). Certainly not as much in previous years.

However last night I watched a programme on Sky. Greatest world cup goals or whatever presented by Sean Locke. Every goal against Scotland was finished off with a sarcastic " Byeeee"

So now I am riled. I can't wait for England to get ferked and this DVD will be played every day until I can say "Byeeeee" to them !

Ladbrokes have ICT as 350-1 to win SPL next season.

If that doesn't fill you with hope then maybe a World Cup bet.

Englands Top scorer - Rooney 9/1 or Gary Neville 200/1.

But I think I may go for 33-1 odds. England not to score A goal!!

Don't have a clip of it, but for me the best was Mark McCulloch bulleting an attempted clearance in his own net with no-one near him. Funnily enough against us!! Magic stuff.

Nearly fell off my seat laughing.

How about some answers? I'm stuck at 28

Heard Motson and co describing a Hungarian tactic as gamesmanship !! Surely taking a dive in the box and conning your way to a pen means the same?

You can't beat a good bit of neutral commentary!

Motson

1 min 49 seconds. Blimey !! That's fast even for him !!

Can't afford to lose Fraser. Every team needs a good back up keeper. I think we would actually struggle to replace him for sensible money should he be allowed to go.

A few surprises in the England team there. I thought it would have been more on the lines of:

Al Cockitup

R Soul Terry Bull Justin Credible Nay Chance

R Ping A Bowt U Nowhat Nev Ergonna

A Pinn A Gain

After a hard England training session Beckham was feeling thirsty and headed off to the drinks machine to get a drink.

In went the first 50p and out came the Lucozade. David decided to put in another 50p and out came another bottle. For a third time he put in 50p and again another drink came out.

By this time there was a queue behind Beckham with Neville and Lampard getting more frustated calling out " Come on Becks we're dying back here how many do you want" ?

"Just a minute Lads" say's David "I'm winning big time here "!

One we must hear:

21: Sadly Sven has got his tactics wrong and after the embarrasment of Northern Ireland we now have Trinidad. If only we had Rooney
