I presume you mean “if you can’t beat em join em”. That’s understandable but I still hate the diving and rolling around that’s so prevalent in the game. I don’t think they would do it so much on a muddy 60’s pitch for fear of getting their hair mucky. 😃

Is Sako actually English? He rolls around on the grass like a soft Latin. Has Jesus been giving him lessons? Stay on your bloody feet you soft arse.

All the very best with the course of treatment DeeCee. Keep us updated as many of us getting on in years might benefit from the same. A friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer so it may be of benefit for him. Keep your chin up pal.

Well done to all for putting names to faces. I thought it a little sad that the Premier League winning squad for so poorly represented.

I just hope we beat these Mackems, be it 1-0 or 10-0. I don’t dislike Sunderland too much but I certainly dislike Dack after his snide comments about us, after the club gave him so much support after his injuries. He’s a total knob in my book now.

Ok so who’s on here. Forget Waggot he doesn’t deserve to be there.

Too right. It’s like watching a reincarnation of Gaza .

Well deserved goal from Harry. Justified selection from Southgate.

134,000 when I was a lad Gav for a full international. Dougie will tell you!

So Southgate compliments his style by bringing on the no-mark McGuire. You couldn’t make it up!

Of course Chaddy, but you know what I mean. I’ve been going to Hampden since 1960 so Scotland-England has a meaning to me for sure.

@roverandout So sorry for the loss of your dad. I am 73 but think of my dad everyday although he died 36 years ago. It doesn’t matter how long ago it’s still the man who made you what you are. Keep him in your memory always.

Why does Southgate play the best lineup when it’s a friendly that doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things, but picks a boring sideways/ backwards lineup when it does matter? He’s a total f**kwit.

And then we get this total knob head telling us interesting things. Wait for him saying it’s even better than the Premier League in which he is frightened of playing. What a prick. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66751562

You’re quite right Gav, that’s a perfect summary.

Took this last night at the T20 v NZ. I thought it was a nice touch by LCC to remember a great player, he might have been an Aussie but I think most fans here still loved him.

What? Even Bumley!

Great so far, and when we reach the final it won’t be against Spuds 😃 The BBC and others p**s me off though. According to their scores page it could be Harrogate Railway v Blackburn Olympic. They should be forced into using the correct names.

Dolan is garbage. Fact

The consistency of referees is getting far worse. Howard Webb is trying to sort things out as best he can but even he must be tearing his hair out, if he had any! In the game last night the ref gave a second yellow and a red for a foul and previous time wasting (a minimum amount) but then later didn’t give anything to two Arsenal players waving imaginary cards.

Personally I don’t give two hoots about their pro league , nor anybody going there to play in a football backwater. (My description). What I would really love to see is one of these football icons to be found in a homosexual situation, or to be found drinking alcohol in an area where it is illegal, and then see how the Saudi government deal with it. A public beheading of a football superstar should put the end to their WC aspirations.

I was at the BBE but over the wall on the red track. I was 13.

From the BBC web site: Brazil forward Neymar, 31, reportedly requested a 25-room mansion, a swimming pool and sauna, eight workers to keep his house tidy, nine cars and all expenses paid for travel, restaurants and hotels when he signed for Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. (Cope, via Goal)

Absolutely, I struggled to recognise him as a Brazilian after being brought up watching great players from the 60’s and especially the 1970 team. Neymar is a cheating diving arsehole compared to those greats.
