I know this is the thread for bad posts but the American football player pictured above used to play for my NFL team and it makes it even more hilarious knowing that he was SO outrageously ripped and swole that he couldn't even function as a good NFL player because his body kept breaking down, presumably from the steroids. Yeah, what an athlete.

It is incredible that a trophy, which automatically becomes last season's news once the new season starts, is valued more highly than the very stadium in which a game is played. The stadium lasts longer than the trophies which are won ands lost in that stadium.

I never understand why counter-attacking goals get so much love. By definition, they're scored against a team who's trying to defend as they're running backwards, having over-committed and left the back door open. They're often scored at speed but that's because they've got wide, open spaces to run into and "look good". Counter-attack goals please the tourists but, in essence, they're rarely any good.

I'd probably agree with this tbh. A counter attacking goal is pretty much just a good goal played over a larger area.

There are no footballers left who play "just for the jersey".

They will go where the money is and thats that.

We have been hosed absolutely royally by everyone involved in this, the SFA, SPL, and the players too.

I honestly fear for our club, we are going to end up as a midtable SPL team at this rate.

what played out was the plan, and thats a bigger problem than having no plan.

It's ok to say "well we made the quarters" but surely it's better to leave a tournament having played good attractive football and knowing you've actually given it a go. England basically hung on in all of their games pretty much.

quote:

Personally I think so. He was never the man for the job, and Harry would surely have got the team playing football. Yeah, they probably would have lost all the group games 4-3 or something, but still...

In all seriousness, for England to progress as a footballing nation people like Sven/Capello/Woy are terrible choices. Just boring pragmatic managers who will not develop the style of play like the Germans have with Leow (remember when they used to be poo poo and boring like England???)

quote:

Del Bosque is not 'copying' Guardiola at all. One major difference is using 2 pivots (Xabi Alonso and Busquets) and not 1. Another difference is playing Iniesta as a left winger/inside-forward rather than a central midfielder. Yet another difference is allowing both fullbacks to make forward runs as opposed to the skewed system at Barca (where abidal used to move inside as a third defender and Alves moving forward as a right-sided wingback). In numbers, VDB plays 4-2-3-1 (occasionally 4-2-4-0) and Guardiola plays 4-3-3 (occasionally 3-4-3).
Guardiola's tactics and style at Barca would miserably fail if they didn't have Messi (not that they would be relegated without him, but they wouldn't have been so much dominant in all of Europe for more than 2 years). Spain doesn't have a Messi, and that's why they simply can't copy Barca.

She had been battered, raped and pillaged for several months. Every fresh blow seemed to bring her closer to that final crushing blow. Like a wounded animal she tried to stand on her feet, to regain her dignity and honour, but the attacks were relentless and to the shame of all, none would come to her aid.

And finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the end was near. The Haters, Vultures and Ghouls made their way towards Ibrox for the telling knockout blow. In the interests of "sporting integrity" a boxing referee was enlisted to deliver the final count.

At the doors of Ibrox they were met by two sentinels who barred their way. Alistair McCoist and Lee McCulloch. It was pointless asking them to move. Neither would walk away.

"Start the count" demanded one of the haters. And so it began.

But not as as they had expected.

10....9....8

"Wait, wait your counting wrong" screamed the haters.

7...6....5

The two sentinels were no longer alone. For on either side of them filing quietly into line were unknown faces wearing Rangers shirts with No. 12 on the back. They didn't need names on the back, it was the badge on the front which was important to them. There were young and old, sprightly and infirm, the capable carried the less capable lest they stumbled.

As the count continued the numbers, grew, and grew, and grew, until thousands joined the two sentinels barring the way to Ibrox.

The silence was broken momentarily when a whisper filled the air, some say to this day it came from within the walls of Ibrox itself....... "We’ve got the battle fever on"

"Who are these people?" asked one of the haters.

Ally McCoist stepped forward....... "Allow me to introduce you to my No. 12's......they don't do walking away either"
And so it began.

In years to come Rangers historians will recite stories of Baxter, Woodburn, Cooper, Laudrup, McCoist, Gough and of course of No. 12.

In the coming months news outlets will feature stories about the No. 12's – the fans who would not let their club die.

Their loyalty, faith and passion in a football club will capture the imagination of nations.

They will become the benchmark which other supporters aspire to.

Whatever is thrown at them or their club No.12's will come back for more, time and time again until eventually our detractors can thrown no more.

Wherever their club goes the No. 12's will be there. And every other Saturday Ibrox will be filled with No. 12's.

Our children's children will proudly tell their friends at school that their grandfather was a No. 12.

No. 12's will be the topic of conversation every Monday morning, in factories, offices, wherever people assemble.

Newspaper columns will mention the No.12's in the same breath as resilience and a never say die spirit.



Who am I and how do I know all this ?

Im a No. 12 and Im about to take my place in history.

How about a transcript of some great moments in Italian broadcasting history (Italy-England)? These are all things RAI commentators said during the match



The last few are
"Maggio crosses to Maggio...oh, no it's Diamanti"
"Buffon catches the balls with his fists"
"In this moment the English players have become real English people"
"Another breathless 15 min....utes. Yes, breathless"
The De Rossi one is only funny because he adds an extra word. He was trying to say "on his hands and knees" which is "carponi" but instead he said "carponi ardenti" which is one letter away from being "hot coals".
"Montolivo's goal is out of bounds"
