Re: The New Football Thread
Kane goes into the English changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Scotland. They're shite and we can't be bothered".
Kane looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Kane goes out to play Scotland by himself and the rest of the English team go off for a few pints. After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "England 1 - Scotland 0 (Kane 10minutes)". He is beating Scotland all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on.
"Result from the Stadium "England 1 (Kane 10 minutes) - Scotland 1"(Angus McShagnasty 89 minutes)".
They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Scotland!!
They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them.
"I've let you down, I've let you down."
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against Scotland , all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end"
"No, No, I have, I've let you down - I got sent off after 12 minutes"

Re: The New Football Thread
Just to mention the important domestic promotion.
Hartlepool Utd. have been promoted back to the Football League!
Cloughie would be happy.
H'Angus will be around the grounds next season.

Re: The New Football Thread
He gets paid for this insightful view
Former England forward Ian Wright speaking on ITV: “The tests are still to come but I am still feeling quite positive about what we are capable of doing.
"We don’t know what our best attack is yet but there is still stuff to look forward to.”

Re: The New Football Thread
Looks like Ian16th has been commenting on the BBC website about England v Germany next week
Southgate will need to up his game plan if he has one, as watching this England side is just like watching the Boro when he was in charge there, “boring”
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Wee Krankie has demanded a re-run of the Scotland-Croatia game because it didn't give her the result she wanted.

Re: The New Football Thread

Re: The New Football Thread
Ah! Thanks for explaining it - I don't really follow the 'beautiful game', but I did have a drink or 3 to celebrate the 55 year gap (OK - any excuse.... ). Both my sons were not even a twinkle in my eye then and I was a JP student.
Re: The New Football Thread
These fairies need to sit down and watch the Tour de France.Absolute carnage on the road yesterday.Looked like an explosion in an abatoir.Despite all of that only 1 rider didn't turn up today.....broken collarbone stopped play.To top it all Mark Cavendish took his 31st stage win.
