Ian Wright was a very good player and a dreadful pundit. I also liked his Football Behind Bars show where he made a lot of noise about his Tribulations and Hard Prison Life as though he'd done time for murder rather than two weeks for not insuring his car

And also the time he stormed off Match of The Day saying they were using him as a 'comedy jester' rather than a serious stat dude, which conveniently overlooked the fact that he was loving poo poo and no-one missed him when he was gone

Was it 4-3 to Leeds with Viduka scoring all four?



It was also the day 10-year-old me realised that Mark Viduka was the greatest footballer of that or indeed any generation.

There are very few things I love in football more than a player attempting a minutely-detailed complex setpiece out of Roy of The Rovers that must have taken countless hours on the training-ground to get right. And then loving it up completely and looking like a total tit. I love it

Alan Shearer, on Match of the Day, said something to the effect of "who'd heard of him?" when Newcastle signed Ben Arfa. He had something like 10 caps for France at the time. Journalists and pundits are all pretty much terrible

Official TRP board game found

quote:

Modelled on Monopoly and selling for €49, Play Ultras swaps the car, the hat and the boot for miniature hooligans armed with belts, sticks and bars.

Players must pass helmeted, baton-wielding riot police figurines to reach a football stadium. The winner is the player who can get the largest number of his pieces into the stadium to watch the game, while avoiding a stay in hospital.

I'm going to go ahead and assume Zidane junior will be putting a bunch of poo poo english cloggers to shame in a few year's time, but who were the last father and son to both be properly good players at the top level? The Maldinis? Lampard and son maybe? Kasper Schmeichel is alright as well I suppose but I'm sure there's a really obvious one I'm forgetting

Straight reds for any celebrations which involve props or took longer to think up than to perform. Sorted.

Give all fans little foam balls at the start of games, or maybe some kind of rotting fruit. You can't suppress a football fans' inate violence and bigotry, but you can atleast impair it.

If a racist fan threw a banana at a black player and the player just stopped and ate it in full view of the fans would he get booked? I wrote in to you are the ref about it once but they never got back to me

What the gently caress is wrong with this guy jesus gently caress

I don't understand why you'd go steaming in like that obviously angry and then just sort of tread gingerly on the edge of his chest and mostly just catch his shirt and maybe lean on him a bit. Surely you'd know that you're going to get at least a red for lashing out to start with so you might as well just start properly booting the poo poo out of him

If you do that you'll probably get an extended ban and a fine too.

But if you've properly lost your rag with a guy enough to shove him to the ground and stand snarling over him you'd have thought that getting fined and stuff would be the last thing on your mind. I suppose when you're a pro there's always a little voice telling you to reel it in a bit even when you're at that point because of training or whatever. It probably also goes a long way towards explaining hilarious 'fights' where a defender sprints a good 50 yards to get stuck in only to end up giving a few half-hearted shoves
