Posted on 08/07/2021 19:45 by Rocky 2 bucketsIt will best it by giving us something & some players who are actually still with us & from the 21st century. With due respect BB I’m not interested in your lifelong hero worship at all. I’m focussing on the OP-Euros, I’m happy you are comfortable in the past but it’s time to move on. In 1966 it was a dream I don’t doubt. 76, 86, 96 even but not 56yrs later🤷🏻♂️. I dare say your seat at the bottom of the top table cost you a lot but if you got to breathe the air of your hero’s & sit at the feet of one of them I’m happy for you. For me it’s time for new hero’s👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It wasn't any Green eyed God that angered me today -- it was the tv pictures of the Danish 'keeper Kasper Schmeichel being facially illuminated by some cretin with what appeared to be a laser beam !
Now I will head up the wooden hills, to sleep, to dream of what I would like to do to that { word Deleted User } !!

The one thing we noticed about the Spain v Italy Semi? Not a single black player in either team, and, given what happened to Zinedine Zidane in his very last game, (World Cup Final), I am worried for England’s black players. The Italians are masters of the Dark Arts of Football, way beyond the odd foul here and there.
Disgusting behaviour from whoever used that laser pen. However, Schmeichel’s initial save was superb, shame his defenders didn’t react as fast as Harry Kane did. Given that England had what appeared to be a penalty chance denied earlier in game, justice was I think, duly served.
Sincerely hoping that England win🤞

BB, they were 66 heroes, but your view might be slightly through rose tinted specs. Nobby Stiles and Jack Charlton were two of the game’s hard men, they had to be given what the game was like then. Think of England’s 66 game against Argentina. You don’t get someone like Rattin, Argentina’s captain, sent off by sheer luck alone.
High level competitive team sports are hard, occasionally nasty, but the aim is to win, not quite at all costs, but all sorts of tactics, shenanigans are employed to do so within the rule boundaries. The stakes are just too immense to be chivalric and terribly, terribly gentlemanly nowadays. 😉
(I once got sent off (sin- binned for 5 minutes to consider the error of my ways😂) at Trentbridge in a County Lacrosse match. The goal stood, the Goalie was ok after a few minutes, and we won the match....Reesult🥳)
