Sterling is shite - Vardy on for him Hart :oops: Too many Spuds in the starting 11 Rooney is not a midfielder! Woy trying to accommodate players instead of picking balanced line up No creativity in the midfield Bring on Jack :D I'd agree with most of that. Sterling totally out of form and Rooney wo...

go the Welsh :) Tonights score tips: Group B England 2 (Rooney and Sturridge off bench for winner) Wales 1 ( Bale) Group C Ukraine 1 N Ireland 1 Germany 2 Poland 1 ( sorry Bomber!!!) If both group C results go that way, its not necessarily that bad for Polska. Think England will win Been happy in g...

GIAE twisting things again to suit his fancy. I know that West Germany and East Germany reunified in 1990 (not long after the 1990 World Cup which West Germany won). However, as a matter of FACT FIFA recognises that Germany and Italy have won it 4 times each. Denial x3 for Germany and denial x2 for...

[quote="God is an Englishman"] Germany did not win the world cup in 1954, 1974 or 1990 - GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT! GIAE twisting things again to suit his fancy. I know that West Germany and East Germany reunified in 1990 (not long after the 1990 World Cup which West Germany won). However, as a...

PLEASE get your facts right as in actual fact history states that Germany and Italy have BOTH been World Cup winners 4 TIMES each (3 more than England). History does not mean in your lifetime GIAE, though if you want to count from 1966 Germany have won it 3 times and and Italy twice. If you are a '...

Quite happy to justify it. We've won the same amount of world cups as 3 of them and the 4th has only one one more than us . im confused What part are you struggling with Italy 2 Germany 1 Spain 1 France 1 England 1 Sorry GIAE, I am also 'Struggling with this' PLEASE get your facts right as in actua...

Just putting it in. Looking forward I must say. Poland to win, French runner-up, Italy third, Albania fourth. :D :P 8) Why Poland Bomber? :lol: At least they do carry the threat of a natural goalscorer (as we found out in the qualifiers). Could be an open tournament with hopefully a few surprises. ...

Be interesting to see if Rodgers want to keep Tommy Rogic. Would be surprised (and disappointed) if Rodgers doesn't do his best to keep Rogic as he was one of the stand outs last season and he appears to have a great attitude. Fully expect him to stay for another season or two as I think Rodgers wi...

Reading and Sheffield Wednesday looking to buy Rogic in the summer transfer window. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2016/05/18/race-intensifying-sign-socceroos-star-rogic Depends on what Rodgers has in mind, I would hope that he wishes to keep him as he is one of the more attractive players ...

Gee barely 160 minutes played this season and walks straight into England Euro squad lucky or not? Woy loves him and he is a talented player, BUT only if you can keep him fit. Personally, I don't think you should take half fit players to a tournament, so I would have taken Drinkwater. As well docum...

Must be a pretty uncivilised place It's a paradise compared to Stalin's Soviet Union. I got lost whilst driving one day and asked for directions in Elizabeth North- found out it can be a very uncivilised place! Got to f*** out of there pretty quickly and found my own way. To be perfectly honest you...

Back on topic guys - I thought Stokes for Hibs looks like a good left sided attacking player :arrow: Hi is an excellent player when in the mood but terrible when he sulks and can't be bothered. Very frustrating at Celtic at times though to be fair Delia had a fall out with him and spat the dummy. E...

GIAE Quote you say reeled in, I say you made a mug of yourself. Disappointing so many of your countrymen bottled it and wanted to be part of the U.K.[/quote] Sorry to disappoint you GIAE but does it take a Scotsman to give an Englishman an English lesson? My grammar is perfectly correct and once aga...

I think he knows.

Was a wind up mate and it sure worked! Should I let him go to fight another day? Think I should to see how easy I can reel him in again.

I don't think it's most of Scotland. Just hibs and Celtic - the scum clubs who should just leave the country they hate so much.[/quote] Well here he (GIAE) goes again (though I must admit he is well qualified to judge scum from reading his general comments, talk about the pot calling the kettle blac...

Celtic have secured the services of Brendan Rodgers on a one year rolling contract and as a Celtic supporter I don't think we could have done any better. The board must have offered him a reasonable amount of money for players and it will be very interesting to see how it all pans out. IMO he was a ...

Great to see the good guys beating the unwashed. If they're not the same club, why are they paying their debts? Where I come from you would get a tanking for such a statement (hence the hatred of the Old Firm). Seen it, lived it and experienced it. Bigots like you should concentrate on supporting y...

Respected Blatter several years ago but he is well past his sell by date and should be removed from power immediately- FIFA has become a laughing stock and if they don't sort out this mess a splinter group will form and break away. As a man if he wants to receive any respect or shred of dignity (mos...

Not a Spurs fan but I would not want to see him go if I was as he is obviously a class act. If a transfer does take place do not assume that the FULL amount will be spent on 3 or 4 replacements and even if it was the new guys have to gel and take time to settle. On a selfish point I would like him t...

EPL- Enjoy it for what it is- great entertainment and extremely passionate. Who cares if Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, etc. attract the biggest crowd or perform well or poor in what after all are friendlies. I am more excited that the big four all have new managers and look forward to how the...

Seems these FFSA refs r quite precious. No senior men's games have been cancelled this year at Fulham. So what if the ground is a litte boggy and heavy - its a winter sport for Gods sake - conditions are same for both teams. Bigpond, please refrain from 'jumping in with both feet' when you do not a...

I believe in passion. I believe in commitment. I believe in the winning mentality of sport. All that said I believe in the safety of players! I have seen many brutal games of football in my lifetime in both semi-professional and professional games and this goes way beyond passion, commitment and win...

I agree Crue Head, it is hardly worth the bother- by the time you thought about it the ball would most likely be in the back of the net but give Steve #4 some slack as crazy things do happen in games (beach ball on park during Liverpool game last season for example). P.S. Loved the last line or two ...

I assume you mean a team-mate(s)/defender(s) lifting their goalkeeper to aid a higher jump? If so this would be deemed to be unsporting behaviour and an indirect free-kick would be awarded in favour of the attacking side. It could also result in a caution to the player(s) lifting the goalkeeper (dep...
