    BOXING

    To me last night showed the absolute high and absolute low of boxing and competetive sport in general. Audley Harrison will have to live with that for the rest of his life,the trouble is he has no competetive edge to him whatsoever and will probably not feel the shame and embarrassment you or i would.He was so fearful of being hit he point blank refused to take his hands away from his face and engage in a fight. On the total opposite end of the scale the Pacquiao/Margarito fight was a true " fight " between 2 talented,skilled and extremely game athletes.Pacquiao,s incredible skill was onl
  2. What a bunch of big girls blouses ! Nothing wrong with a scrap at the footie,boys fight thats just life,schools fight other schools estates fight other estates men fight other men....it only gets stupid when knifes and other silly shit comes out.....unfortunately in todays dogooding society a boys natural urge to have a tear up is discouraged and he,s told to " talk about his problems " ...let boys be boys for f**k sake ! As for you divs on about how much you hate football....get a grip of yourself its THE most popular sport in world sport for a reason,so the reality is YOU ARE THE ODDBALLS
  3. ....trouble is i already do most of them,apart from the Lib Dems of course....im daft,but im not that daft ! Well,in for a penny in for a pound im doing 18 holes on sunday .....i tried a golf range today,f**k me im poor .....think im trying to smash the ball too hard its flying off in all directions at the moment so it could be a long day !!.....got a feeling i might be flogging a load of golf clubs monday morning. Cheers for your views boys
  4. Over the last few years im being constantly nagged by friends and family into taking up a " sensible " interest !....Having led a very competetive life through the gyms/sport etc the old body is finally starting to let go a bit and the Mrs has just bought me a whole load of fancy golf equipment to try and encourage me into a slower paced life !..... So....not really knowing anybody who plays i wondered if any of you folk play and if so how do you find it,.... i cant see any appeal whatsoever apart from some nice scenery.....im shit hot on a putting green but that only lasts half hour,the t
  5. For me a hardman is a man who earns an honest pound note and doesnt take the easy way out through crime.Ive seen single fathers raising kids while holding a job down and keeping a clean home etc that make you realise just what a hardman really is and makes you aware of just how inadequate you are and certainly far from being " hard ". Certainly does for me anyway.
  6. Today you got Kenny Noye ...he will be in his early 70,s by the time he gets to spend his millions....for a smart guy he made the biggest f**k up any man could make !
  7. Well said that man..... There must be a better way to kill time than pretending to be a foreign immigrant on an internet hunting website ...theres certainly some strange fuckers about !
  8. Maybe foreign immigrants should really be concentrating on why their own country is going down the pan and why they have to ponce off other countries to get a decent life rather than slagging off the countries that provide for them !
  9. Every man chooses his own path in life some walk the straight law abiding route some dont,as long as the ones who choose crime as a career dont sit whingeing and moaning about it when it go,s wrong then fair enough. To me theres far worse scum in our socieites doing far worse than lining their pockets at others expense......but unfortunately your average rapists,kiddy fiddlers and junkie pensioner beaters dont seem to be as hated as a few men fighting over money anymore

    BOXING

    He,s 6 foot 5 odd and around 18 stone.....fighting a smaller man who dont take a great shot......thats a puncher enough ! I spoke with Tony Burns this morning who had Harrison at Repton as an amateur he reckons " if " Harrisons head is right and he maintains concentration he has a good chance.Id go along with that. Personally i hope Haye wins as it will be good for boxing but i dont think its as straight forward as some folk seem to think.
  11. Being linked to the Krays back then was seen as a good career move if you was that way inclined,if you was a criminal from East London and you wasnt linked to the Krays you were seen as fair game simply because they wanted to control everything.If you was straight going people there was no problem my old dad was a fearless man who would take shit from no man but he never had any bother as the Krays were not interested in law abiding folk,infact from what the ol man said they was always generous,kind and helpful. Im no cheerleader for the Krays i just think its all been a bit overdone and exag
  12. No never,i was a kid when they was around,but i trust the word of enough folk who did know them to be able to accept it wasnt all like its been portrayed through books etc.....Put it this way,id rather live in the Bethnal Green of the 60,s than the Bethnal Green of today,and 99% of Londoners would say the same so life couldnt have been that bad back then.

    BOXING

    Quite possibly.....but like i said Harrison has only 1 real strength and Haye has only 1 real weakness......do the maths and its a recipe for disaster,particularly in heavyweight boxing.

    BOXING

    For those of you lads giving Harrison no chance i,ll just remind you....it can often take 1 punch to change everything in heavyweight boxing. 2 important things to consider for those writing off Harrison.... 1.Harrison has only one real strength ( a powerful punch ) 2.Haye has only one real weakness ( a suspect chin ) Put them both together and it makes for an interesting scenario
  15. If i didnt know the family id probably agree with you mate as its easy to see how it could look that way based on that article so im not trying to pull apart what your saying.Garys father is a friend from way back and like any father he went through a lot at the time this happened,nothing compared to the family who suffered the loss of course but a lot came out in the trial that would not have done if not for the fact that they were a boxing family.For a start it was tried at number 1 court of the Old Bailey !! ...it also came out that during this incident Gary was being attacked by 2 men,one
  16. Shouldnt do yourself down like that mate i wouldnt say it was a below par Chelsea i actually thought they played ok they just couldnt break yous down thats all.Theres a lot to be said for doing the basics correctly and being together and thats what Liverpool did.The 3 or 4 world class players you have will be enough to secure top 7....i guess its just the few who are not really Liverpool quality thats going to stop you being top 4,this year anyway. Glad to see a big club beat a little club anyway
  17. Gary was a good boxer,not great but good enough to compete at a high level his biggest struggle was with his weight he wasnt big enough for the heavyweight division but struggled at cruiserweight......he lost to a young David Haye but did beat a few notable names.....His troubles were about 5 years ago he,s in Highpoint in Suffolk at the moment but not due for release till 2016.....in fairness Gary wasnt my cuppa tea but he certainly wasnt a murderer yet thats what he was convicted of.....To be convicted of murder " intent to kill " has to be proven....Gary hit a mans head too hard,that head t
  18. Im not really a rugby fan but seeing the haka is without doubt one of the icons in sport so i went to see the game yesterday,i found it a little disappointing how the english crowd sung over it,its obviously a tradition thats to be respected in my opinion not shouted down.As regards the game itself i didnt know what was going on half the time .....but im glad i went it was a big occasion and certainly a great stadium.I was surprised how different the crowd is to the football crowd,so much more passive and nowhere near as intense...i was amazed you could sit and have a beer while watching the
  19. Without doubt the fella was a bully with no class and no moral fibre,its easy to have a killer punch when the persons not squared up to you or in this case even looking at you !....the punches that do most damage are the ones you dont see coming. What i find strange is why any pub/club would employ a 22 year old kid with very little life experience in a position of such responsibility,it could be said the pub/club itself is partly responsible. The sentancing on situations like this are never reliable either,a friend of mines son was sentanced to life and is currently serving a minimum of 11
  20. Not really a drinker to be honest mate but i love the big occasion no matter what the sport and should be a good day,i think talent is obvious even when you dont know what your looking at so i should catch on quick enough
  21. Must admit im not much of a rugby fan,cant say i even know the rules completely ....but im a sports fan and love to see the icons of worldwide sport.Im sacrificing watching my West Ham tomorrow to go to Twickenham ive always wanted to see the all blacks do the haka,its one of those true honest sporting traditions every sports fan must see. From what im told we havent got much chance of winning,but really looking forward to the occasion anyway.
  22. Hilarious....i reckon 90% of people talking about Londoners on this thread are northerners,or at least not London people.....i was a kid when the Krays were banged up and the reality is they are far more well known today than they was then !....Yes they was known,as were the Richardsons,Smiths and probably the most feared family in London the Nashes....just because the Krays have had a few dozen books written about them people seem to take them writings and repeat it all as fact and make judgement of real life based on books that are far from truthful. In a strange way growing up in Bethnal G
  23. How a man who flogs the arse out of deformed dogs purely for financial gain can be a " top bloke " is beyond me....but then i guess we all see different qualities/faults in our fellow man.......and he,s obviously not rich enough or he wouldnt compromise his morals for money,unless he just dont have no morals of course which in fairness most puppy peddlars dont! The fact puppy peddlars are so disliked is perfectly normal to folk with a genuine interest in dogs,thats not jumping on a bandwagon its just common sense.
  24. The reason there is 2 people holding them is they are more than likely being held by a couple of 8 stone pakis with their jeans hanging round there knees !.....more asian money making bullshit.
