I almost went to that match. My cousin was living down London at the time and knew both Fulhams´John Lacy and Cutbush (who´d played the previous year´s FA Cup final vs West Ham United) As it was, to cut a long story short, I only got to watch it the next day on the Sunday afternoon´s ATV Midlands show, Star Soccer.
Watching a team financed by comically evil dictators tear apart a team probably financed by some bloke called Henry ... modern football
Shame. It's a disgrace really, quite like Huddersfield as well, small club but have a bit of history behind them.
The big news should shhhhurely be Rangers getting through the second roond o’ the cup. Quietly and steadily making Scoatland great again.
Hey laddie - we fuck the arse ootae AIDS ridden Brazil - name one Brazilian thing that’s better than the telly.
Compared to Jockland? I'd say everything: lifestyle, weather, people, women, sports, music, crime/murder-rate, etc I mean I could go on but this is just the obvious stuff...
Crime/murder rate??? Are you fucking retarded? Brazil has one of the worst homicide rates in the world... Scotland isn't even in the equation
Ah think that wiz a wee joke laddie There wiz an article last week aboot hoo many homicides there are in Brazil and it’s enough per year tae fill up a large fitba stadium. But if Ye divide the deaths (just under 70 thoosand) ba the size o’ the population, the odds are no’ so bad. It’d be good tae ken which country Ye’re more likely tae be randomly murdered (Ah put random as Ah wid probably be impaled upon a stick the moment Ah arrived in Dublin, fer example).
Brazil has the 15th highest per capita murder rate on earth nestled on the chart between rwanda and the democratic republic of Congo. At 25.2 per hundred thousand you're over 10 times more likely to be killed there than in glasgow and 20 times more likely than in Scotland as a whole. Admittedly, like the people of Congo and Rwanda, magus does get the sun
No idea about the AIDs statistics (Anthony probably does though) Scotland's fine. Been there many times...Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dunfermline, St Andrews, Lock Lomond... Grandfather loved Scotland - used to fish for salmon & trout there a lot. Obsessed with single malt whiskey.
Got into a bit of bother on the Old Course at St. Andrews with Jim Baxter and Joe Jordan back in '77 ... it kicked off when I bottled Jordan and Baxter bottled me so I whacked him with my sand wedge... we sorted it out eventually and I got their autographs... unfortunately the autographs were lost in a Monsoon at my cottage in Bangladesh a few years later
2010 - The Open at St Andrews! Stayed at a B&B in Dunfermline (The Skids hometown), then a 45mins drive every morning along the A92. All done on the company´s credit-card: accommodation, food, petrol...
cdogg - , seriously, how far and away have you traveled outside of the USA? I´d been half-way around the globe and had lived in another continent on my own by the time I was 22. Your dreams of bamboozling and impressing sheltered-life fools on an Internet forum with your boxing and musical creed were just a mere twinkling by then!
I remember back in 2000, I was in Italy for a conference... ran into Elizabeth Hurley who was on holiday with some bloke; had drinks and some banter with Claudio Gentile in a restaurant in Turin. Got a gondola ride on the company's schilling
