SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2020/21

What the fuck are you on about, faggot?

I'm saying Brazil don't do anything like the shit that made them "every neutral's favorite" anymore in more than 30 years ... you agreed with me three posts ago, you fucking slag... hope you get your fucking guts cut out tomorrow

 

England were poor today. Don't let the scoreline fool you.

2 penalties, a gift, and a tap in.

Bulgaria could have 2 or 3 and a better team will punish England.

Englands midfield and forward line is very good.

But TAA needs to start and Maguire just ain't got it.

 

Boutique Republicanism and Irish Nationalism. I can't think of a drearier aspiration.

 

I play a Predo game with Jimmy on Sky Super 6...........I picked all 6 results correct today. From a league I don't even follow. If I had the scores to go with it I would be £250k better off.

 

Agreed.

 

Is Roy Keane the angriest, most bitter man in the world? Suppose it's what made him a great player though:

 

Irish finds his optimism and sunny disposition off-putting.

 

Keane hates low standards and wasted talent. The guy is resolutely bullshit free. He's not always right, but he tends to swerve bullshit .

 

He's become a ridiculous caricature of his image

 

Exactly he's become an attention seeking bore, one the one hand trashing current and former players while reacting with the utmost sensitivity if he's in any way slighted himself...telling people to stop living in the past while regularly rehashing stories about being cast aside by Ferguson or being disrespected by Carlos Queiroz...hard to imagine where he goes from here apart from performing his routines at after dinner shows and roadshows

 

Couldn't fall asleep last night, despite hitting the sack at 10:30. At work now and in 40 minutes I will have been awake for 24 hours. Insomnia is a cunt, today will be a struggle. #PrayForSlice

 

Keane isn't as 'hard' as people would think...off-the-pitch, that is.

Way, wayyyy back in 1989, one of my friends had an 'altercation' with him in the VIP section of The Black Orchid nightclub in Nottingham where he was (as usual) throwing his weight around (as usual) in front of his chums, Steve Hodge & Tommy Gaynor.

Keane didn't get dropped (as the myth perperuated for years after) but, he didn't want any part of it when punches started being thrown.

 

I am Jacks dangling 12 inch cock.

 

He was 18 back then FFS.

 

What's the appropriate response to the stories of Paul Pogba being a cunt? Is it to say "Well now, let's get all the facts, first"

No. It's to sit there are wonder why some guy with none of your talent is on twice your money.

 

Off the Ball is a joke, in fairness.

Get Keane saying something daft on a proper format and I will give it some time.

Keane reminds me of that story about Willie Pep trying to train a kid to box and getting frustrated when the kid couldn't do things Pep could. Keane thinks all everyone has to do is try hard like he did. He's right about Pogba. He's wrong about a lot of other guys.

Off the Ball is a joke.

Irish media is weak except for a few very very select programmes and commentators.

Dunphy still offers not the most honest but the definitely the most open commentary. Pat Dolan used to be very good but he's never on anymore. It's really quite limited now.

Dolan was on Setanta back in 2010 and Paul Dempsey was hosting. Dempsey alluded to Liverpools form and Dolan immediately launched into an attack on the decision to fire Benitez and appoint Hodgson. TalkSPORT had practically annointed the Hodgson appointment but Dolan destroyed it live on TV and said Hodgson would be gone inside months. It got a replay on British TV and they all had a laugh. By New Years, Hodgson was fired. Dolan had been a regular and never appeared again once Setanta folded.

Obviously, the British stuff is sanitized, PC and desperate to not offend or get sued. Weak. Soccer AM is for clowns.

Compare it to the crass Fantasy Football from the mid 1990's............vulgar, crass, but generally unafraid. The Jason Lee thing would get people jailed today.

There's a lot of guff masquerading as hardcore cutting-edge stuff.

It's just a lot of out of shape middle-aged dudes being clever Harry's. Guys who 30 years ago would have been Priests, telling people how to behave.

 

Dunphy, some time after his 175th birthday

 

Fucker looks like he got taken out of the ice box, warmed up and rolled out, then rolled back into the deep freeze later, before he fully thawed out.

Nice jacket though.

Tell the guy in the background to give it up. He doesn't have any hair, he's not fooling anyone.

 

Don Dunphy commented on La Motta being decapitated by Ray Robinson like I might comment on the impending threat of a rainshower from the safety of my living room.

"And......it looks like it..........might rain. Change the channel, dear"

 

My Great Aunt Irene's late husband Jack had the exact same accent as Don Dunphy ... picture what Don Dunphy would sound like if he was a smug banker prick ... that was Uncle Jack

 

Old timey erudite NY accent not spoken by anyone born after 1920

 

And?

 

This England game is mental.

 

4 goals for Cristiano Ronaldo tonight, 93 international goals in total. The best to do it.

 

Nope..........I said in the Bulgaria posts that England would get stuffed by anybody better than Bulgaria.

I don't know what game Phil McNulty watched.

I saw Sterling miss 3 chances in the 20 minutes I watched.

England simply have not progressed since 2018. Same old "Can't Defend" routine.

England 5-3 Kosovo: Kane and Sterling score for hosts

 

Ireland bashed Bulgaria and Ireland have NO players. None. Same Bulgaria side nearly had 2 in their game with England. Sterling is a flat track man. He was tired after 70 minutes and was up to his old tricks of missing chances and making the wrong decisions.

Henderson was working hard. Keane and Maguire classless clueless mongs.

 

18? Hardly his peak.

So this bird gets on a train and travels to see some Tinder boy and he calls her fat and dumps her fast.

She goes onto GoFundMe to recoup her losses........incurred mostly on the PT she used to get to there and back.

LOL. I shit thee not.
