  1. I dunno if anyone reads The Guardian here but their football cartoonist, David Squires, is currently producing some of the greatest work known to man: https://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2016/jun/21/david-squires-cartoon-euro-2016-group-matches
  2. Bang on. Our ability to take the most self destructive course is unmatched.
  3. Romania 1v0 Albania Switzerland 0v1 France Russia 1v1 Wales Slovakia 0v1 England Northern Ireland 0v3 Germany Ukraine 0v2 Poland Croatia 0v1 Spain Czech Rep 2v0 Turkey Italy 3v0 R. of Ireland Sweden 0v2 Belgium Hungary 1v2 Portugal Iceland 0v2 Austria
  4. Excellent...now for the Hungarian riposte...two goals, I need a correct result. Btw Scottish teams could appropriate the Gaelic Psalm singing technique to freak out their opponents, it's spine tingling
  5. 37 is the equivalent of 32,33 when I were a lad back in the 70's & 80's. If players have looked after themselves, they are perfectly capable of playing to almost 40 nowadays. Most players won't have, or have suffered injury they can't recover from, or just plain don't want to - but Strachan showed the way almost 20 years ago, playing till he was 40, so there's no excuse for people banging on about it in 2016. Loving the 84-86 collar on that shirt, btw. The days of Eric Ferguson are come again.
  6. This is why it's vital to get your statements really spot on. If the clubs had only pointed out that some clubs going to Stadium x or y 4 times and some only going twice was radically unfair and pretty much negates the basic idea of a league, they'd have an unanswerable case. But by chucking in the bit about finance, they let people mock them (quite fairly, too) and allow deflection.
  7. Only caught the last ten minutes of the Croatia game but saw some fighting, lots of pyro, a steward narrowly avoiding serious accident from an exploding pyro of some sort, a nutso penalty a la Rogan, Mark Clattenburg just about abandon the game, and a centre back for Croatia whose protective hat made him look like the village idiot had been selected. You go whole months without seeing so much action.
  8. I'm a little surprised that the police have okayed an OF game on hogmanay.
  9. One more goal for England would have been perfect...finding Hartson & Savage unbearable
  10. Russia 2-0 Slovakia Romania 1-2 Switzerland France 2-0 Albania England 3-1 Wales Ukraine 1-0 Northern Ireland Germany 3-0 Poland Italy 2-0 Sweden Czech Rep 0-1 Croatia Spain 2-1 Turkey Belgium 0-0 R. of Ireland Iceland 1-2 Hungary Portugal 2-0 Austria Last minute edit to go for Hungary. Didn't see them but Murphy rated them highly, so I'll give them the win. Better not be 1-1.
  11. Pfft...belive it when I see it, Rousseau. Hard game to call, Croatia midfield and front suggest goals but we saw how slick Turkey were v England.
  12. Bloody goalie...Btw listening to Savage is hard work
  13. Think I should have put the Taff's down for a goal. Too late now!
  14. Surely I should be top on alphabetical grounds. I mean, really.
  15. If Garner has overcome his injury problems, he'd be a fabulous signing.
  16. But that's exactly what I saw, the u-20s playing exactly the Warburton way. I can't see how any coach could get the u-20's playing more cavalier, passing, attacking football than Durrant had them doing. Maybe someone can do it better, fair enough. But when you look at the u-20's, you see (I did anyway) a team playing identically to the 1st team with two or three Ian Durrants moving between midfield and attack, gliding into the spaces, setting up whatisname that was on loan at Raith. I'm like John on this one, as a player Durrant was like nothing I'd ever seen before or have since tbh. Even if he could pass on 1% of how he played we'd still be up on the deal.
  17. Mildly surprised & disappointed, anytime I watched the u-20's they seemed to have bought into the MW philosophy completely, up to the point of not bothering defending.
  18. I have always loved Rumania tops so I hope they score. 2-1 France. France 2-1 Romania Albania 0-1 Switzerland Wales 0-2 Slovakia Engand 1-1 Russia Turkey 2-1 Croatia Poland 3-0 Northern Ireland Germany 2-0 Ukraine Spain 2-0 Czech Rep Rep of Ireland 0-2 Sweden Belgium 1-1 Italy Austria 1-0 Hungary Portgual 2-0 Iceland
  19. As I see it anyone waiting for Ashley to fall on his sword would be waiting a long time. The only way to bag him is via City pressure, and since his performance today was one of a man without a clue how his business operates, his coat is on an even shooglier nail. That's my take anyway.
  20. Ashley: it's impossible to be perfect. No shit.
  21. Ashley on reviewing SD business model: "who can I get in to ensure a better income?" (laughter) "not income...outcome".
  22. Ashley: "I can't control everything all the time". Manages to take his money though.
  23. Ashley claims ambulance call outs to Shirebrook excessive. Chris White (cons) points out a female employee gave birth in a toilet. No reply.
