  1. Hmmm? Now would he get into most of the top teams in Europe? The answer might surprise one or two.
  2. They have both been nominated for the FIFA world player of the year award. Football 365
  3. About 1s 3d when I first went. Remember when everybody said they wouldn't go again, if it ever reached 2 bob*. Remember season tickets looked like cloakroom tickets as well. Just a small book with numbers 1 to 20 for the league games and a few cup tokens in the back. *Maybe that's what happened eh?
  4. Sporting life Full article from Hughes. Cocker - of course you can't blame Hughes for trying, you wouldn't want anything else would you?
  5. He still gets slagged off, even now FLB.
  6. No, not because Barcelona are rumoured to be interested, nor did I even hint that he was great. He has however, been slagged to death by some people on here. What I said was that he's one of the best defenders around. I'll stick to that. His performances have been excellent for a long time. -in my opinion, of course. We would struggle to find someone as good as Neill. Don't forget, he can play anywhere along the back four also.
  7. Maybe all the past doubters will now recognise that Lucas is one of the best defenders around.
  8. Not in this squad, but is named in the profiles [bottom of page].
  9. Bolton evening news It isn't just rovers fans staying away. "Wanderers, who averaged 26,718 in 2003-04 are currently running at 22,566 and, apart from the game against newly-promoted Watford, crowds are all well down on last season's corresponding fixtures: Tottenham (26,634 down to 22,899), Middlesbrough (22,733 to 21,164) and Liverpool (27,604 to 25,061). The Spurs and Liverpool games were screened live on Sky TV, which will have had a bearing on the crowd figures, but there is no denying that there is a worrying trend developing, the first signs of which became evident in the summer, when season ticket sales slumped from last year's record 19,000 to an estimated 16,000 (Wanderers have repeatedly declined to reveal the precise figure) despite prices being pegged.
  10. Can't make it since it was moved to Sunday.
  11. Most people are staying in Amsterdam. The advice I have, is that Rotterdam can be a nasty place. We booked thro' Octopus travel into the Europa 92 hotel.
  12. John, if you use This site, it says trains run until well after midnight and regularly.
  13. Like this one on the third October: FIFA rulebook
  14. Just one more word about being onside if you are behind the ball. Wikipedia "A player is in an offside position if "he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent," unless he is in his own half of the field of play. A player level with the second to last opponent is not in an offside position. Note that the last two opposing players can be either the goalkeeper and an outfield player, or two outfield players. In general, what this means is that either the attacking team should ensure the opposing team having at least two players (of which the opposition's goalkeeper is included) in between the goal line and the nearest player of the attacking team, or all players of the attacking team should be behind the ball such that it remains closer to the goal line than any of the player of the attacking team."
  15. Maybe got it from here: Tribal football
  16. Thanks 92er. It's hard trying to get through, that unless a player touches the ball, he's not offside. That is the new interpretation of "interfering with play" Quite simply, you can chase the bloomin' ball from an offside position, but you wont, or shouldn't be flagged offside unless you actually touch it.
  17. The referees now interpret the law differentlt. A player is only interfering with play if he actually touches the ball. That's why: 1] Benni wasn't offside when Neill played the long ball through 2] the linesman didn't flag until any offside player actually touched the ball.
  18. Did you read this, AR?
  19. In 2 years time.
  20. Don't think JW ever said there was any profit to be made Cap'n.
  21. Man to Amsterdam Wed to Friday, still available for £61 at Jet2go.com
  22. Ours aren't that sane.
  23. Booked in the Europa 92 hotel in the centre of Amsterdam via Octopus travel.
  24. Booking confirmed W. Just need a match ticket now.
