Not good enough. Relieved we're out - no more fixture clashes with Town. And after watching 95 mins of nerve wracking football at home where my team regularly fail to deliver to their potential I really don't need 85 mins of England egg chasers doing the same.  My heart isn't strong enough.


"Pound for pound, and class for class, the best football team I have seen in England since the war. In the league they were in they played football nobody else could play. Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football." Bill Shankly, Manager GTFC 1951-54

Quoted from KingstonMariner
I like the game. I used to like l playing it at school. I wasn't good enough at football but I could "do" rugby. I quite like watching it, though I wouldn't go out of my way. I like to see England win.

Having said that, all the supercilious, superior attitude a lot of rugger-buggers display towards football gives the last two results a slight twinge of pleasure. Yes there's stuff we could learn, but don't overdo it Oliver, or Josh or Susan.

Living in SW London this past 20-odd years you come across plenty of the male masturbators. In their pristine white shirts on days when England play. Half of them were previously "dedicated" England (football) fans. Now they've found something else. And pretty soon they'll be searching for the next thing that will fill that void of missing community, missing the point again. A big chunk of the other half in their too big for town BMW 4x4s. It's "a family game, but you and your family can get out of my way".

Then there's the hypocrisy. You never hear of rugby fans pissing in people's front gardens do you? Littering the streets. Throwing up. Being rowdy. They're just "good natured".

Then this time round, to make matters worse, all the overblown adverts that infest football tournaments, big brands who "share your passion" have infected the airwaves around this one.  Well there'll be a good few less people to "share the passion" with after tonight.  

So tonight I'm quite happy about that.


Tennis usually welcomes those "white shirts" After playing league and a bit of Union for a few years I coached Youth rugby union for 8 years at the local club more to see some lads who could have dropped off the straight and narrow building some self respect and feeling part of something rather than the love of the game and yes there is loads of hypocrisy as this game has plenty of idiots who cant drink for sh1t. The stuffy boys club politics even drips down to club level which is partly why I cant even watch the game now.

Loads if similarities with the rugby set up and the soccer set up at international level in that its a pro game that is a still basically run by amateurs in blazers. As an Englishman I like to watch England win at anything apart from tennis.

Sounds like there's no love lost there then?
