    Yep i get that......though i think playing next to a lad like that Dyer kid gives us the best of both worlds.....well thats the plan i think.......i dont think sides really have those Bryan Robson type of all round midfielders anymore do they its either a ball player like Rooney or a holding player like the other lad again it seems we,ve gone the continental way with that.......i do think sides will always try to isolate your ball player when they get the opportunity i guess its just how well his mate can protect him thats just how teams play nowadays dont they ?......ive said before though im
  2. Exactly as I saw it Gnash, when a teams on the back foot keep them there, I'm not a fan on Milner anyway so my heart sank when I saw him coming on!! You probably understand a players mind better than me mate but upon seeing those 2 come on wouldnt other players automatically go into a more defensive mindset ?......Walker and Rose looked a threat going forward all game but soon as them subs were made they just stopped.......it must give the opposition the bit of confidence they need when they see that with 10 minutes to go surely ? Rooney going off changed that IMO, they knew they could bomb o
  3. Bless your heart......i think its just called having stand up morals Stan dont fight it id feel the same about you or any of the regular lads on here A few years back id of been bang in trouble running round like a lunatic in a scenario like that but i cant be doing with it im just there for the footy these days..... we was watching it all unfold on our balconies sipping the local reds its one of the best regions in the whole of France i spent most of Saturday dashing round the vineyards in the local Provence area.....how times change eh

    I thought Rooney played well myself i think this deeper role suits him as he can be trusted on the ball and has great vision.....i agree he probably hasnt got the legs for 90 minutes but i didnt see any reason to change anything i like Wiltshere but he does seem to march on a bit and leave big gaps behind him.......call me old fashioned but i just dont get this obsession with making substitutions when nothings going wrong......its what cost us in my opinion and theres only 1 man responsible for that....lets face it another 30 seconds and we would all be sitting here perfectly happy with a good

    Too late.....they didnt have the bollocks for Harry and went safety first....... if given the opportunity now Harry would stick 2 fingers up to them,and rightly so.

    England

    Thats exactly how i saw it.......the worry is we couldnt beat what im sure will prove to be the weakest team in the group.
  9. I thought we played well and controlled the game......I havent watched the game back on telly yet but the atmosphere in the ground was totally confident,it was almost easy......we should of taken our chances and been at least 2 up going into the last 15 minutes but even at 1 nil we was cruising...........so why did Hodgson feel the need to f**k about with the team and go all defensive inviting them on ?......he is such a negative manager nothing was wrong or looked like going wrong so why change it.......Milner and Wiltshere in my opinion were brought on for legs in midfield in a defensive get
  10. Just been reading through a few posts and not having a pop at you Jiggy or defending anything.....just answering your question. You say English and Irish have similar cultures.......but not within football they dont,far as im aware Ireland have never had any kind of terrace culture whatsoever......theres no point comparing to Gaelic Football or Rugby or other sports folk are inclined to compare to.... football violence was a culture that loads of young men went through it wasnt just about fighting it was about fashion,music loads of things......the scenes we have seen over the last few day
  11. We was making the comparison between the energy and enthusiasm you had playing with your son to the energy and enthusiasm you have playing with your grandson The English lads who are giving a bit back are merely the impressionable lads who still think anyone apart from the Russians and East Europeans running round in their Dunlop Greenflash actually give a shit about any of that stuff anymore !........on the grand scale of things we are now minnows in the football violence world.....but we did set the standard for others to follow which makes us a huge scalp.
  12. Ive just got back this morning after 3 days there we stayed at La Residence Hotel which is on the north side of the old port a few hundred yards opposite the Queen Victoria where most of the trouble was.....the long and the short of it is us English fans are seen as the ultimate victory for a country who has a culture of football violence......we spoke to loads of Russians and they said as soon as the fixtures came out their " ultras " were throwing parties ! Im loathe to call us victims as we,re not whiter than white when it comes to causing carnage at tournaments.......but i dont ever re
  13. Why havent you messaged me this privately ? Stop doing this ridiculous " bold "....." ruthless " ...." heart of a lion " confrontational thing when in real life you avoid confrontation !....just be true to yourself. I tell you what..... i will message you privately save you having to do your cringeworthy Bruce Banner act in front of an audience people are not interested Edited to add......your box thing is saying you cant receive messages for whatever reason.
  14. No your missing my point mate.....you are looking at 100% effort with the English mindset of rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in........the mindset of players like Ibrahimovich/Messi is totally different it doesnt mean they dont give 100% it just means they give it in a completely different way to how we see it......there mindset is far more technical than ours and they give 100% to their own mindset of how they think the game should be played. We dont get it because we are English .....​which itself tells us a little bit about where we are as a footballing nation from the grass
  15. Leave him alone poor old Noel.....seen him plenty of times down the Hammers thats obviously where he gets his positive energy from !
  16. I disagree for folk like me who have an inquisitive nature i never get tired of reading different folks views on things like this thats how we learn isnt it......it must get tiresome for folk who think they have all the answers to these type of million dollar questions but what is it they say if your tired of learning your tired of living.
  17. Personally i believe God to be a higher being who doesnt play by our rules so i dont expect explannations or try to treat him like a human being.... but if you want to ask God to send you an email then crack on what harm can it do.
  18. Likewise.....it blows my mind to believe that good intelligent fellas like some of you could believe something can come from that nothing...........................and round the merry go round we go.
  19. So if you didn't tell me you couldn't have kids what the f**k have you got so offended about ? ......your making up the script of your own drama show and then changing the script that nobody else even has a clue what your talking about. 8 years.....8 months i havent got a clue i cant remember having the conversation for crying out loud i just know we went through a bit of a " getting to know you " stage some time ago. No need to get personal ? coming from a man who decided to dissect my entire personal life from my parenting skills to the way i earn money have a think about what your
  20. What a nice little read.....did Currys sell bikes at one stage then i never knew that.......if its not rude to ask mate what part of England was you in and what part of France did you retire to ? Hi Gnash, I am from a village near to Barnsley and other than a few years living in Leeds in the Revie era when my Dad tried to escape the mines have lived in the Barnsley area most of my life. Currys in Barnsley were one of the biggest branches in the country. I worked there as a Saturday lad for about four years. After leaving school I went to work in a textile company and after
  21. So the guy doesnt give 100% yet is still a thousand times better than anything we have...............i rest my case !
  22. What a nice little read.....did Currys sell bikes at one stage then i never knew that.......if its not rude to ask mate what part of England was you in and what part of France did you retire to ?
  23. Obviously they,ve got to give 100% that's just to be expected......do you think Messi or Ibrahimovich don't give 100% ?.....of course they do but they give it in a different way than we do.....we are technically and tactically inept that's why we,ve been left behind over the years.......grafting our nuts off alone is not going to beat the top sides as has been proven in the past.
  24. Piss off that's never Scotland ......looks more like the Bahamas ! Nice pictures get some more up.
