Be careful what you wish for...

Football is a human game, where mistakes
like life happen.It teaches us that things are
not fair, but that by and large things even
themselves out. If we open the Pandora's
Box of video officials where do we stop?
We should start by asking coaches and players
to be more honest, and to not breed a culture of
cheating.
In the Brazil v Chile match (28/06) there were
a couple of instances where I can see problems
with Video technology. One was a dive by the Brazilian
right back which led to them getting a corner from which
he subsequently crossed the ball for Juan to score the
opening goal. Could Chile ask for the video ref to look
at the dive by Maicon?
One of the things that I love about football is that it
is not an exact science, and leads us to still be talking
about things like the Geoff Hurst 'goal' nearly 50 years
on.
It must also be remembered that no matter what Bill
Shankly said, it is only a game, albeit the most beautiful
one!

Loyalty points?

Nice to see Lord H of Redknapp throwing his hat
into the ring..Must have seen the size of Fabio's
contract...I did tell you all, he said when he joined
us that he would like a go at the Engerland Job.
Job's for Les, Tim, and Jamie as well, maybe that's
why he is back on the Beeb.

Listen Carefully I shall say this only once...

It's a funny old game Charlie Brown!

Maybe it's a game plan to confuse The Yanks?

Being Frank

Alan Rough, Jim Leighton, both Andy Goram's
and maybe (just maybe) dear old Frank Haffey
would have saved that.

Let's hear nothing more on Scottish goalies.

Never.

Ever.

Hands across the ocean

It's nothing to do with me, but if I was Capello my
team talk would be along the lines of: What I'm looking
for is someone who can contribute to what England has
given to the world: culture, sophistication, genius.
A little bit more than an 'ot dog, know what I mean?

The immortal words of Harold Shand...

If anyone is interested I'm having a pony, or a monkey
on the Argies!
