Until I was maybe 7 or 8, I thought Queen's Park & QPR were local rivals. A bit like the Grandstand announcer who described Chester 1 Chesterfield 1 as "a score draw in the local derby".
Blackburn Rovers were initially rivals of a team called Blackburn Olympic who were a very interesting team. They were, in effect, the first working-class team to win anything. They were accused by (I think it was) Old Etonians of cheating/ungentlemanly behaviour, because they trained & also played a tactical game (pretty much the first example of playing a formation rather than the 'huddle & charge' kind of approach the public schools used).
A guy I know (folk singer type) wrote a song about them but he's so obscure I can't even find the CD in my cupboard never mind on YouTube!
All I want for Christmas is a Blackburn Olympic away kit

England are just over-achieving at the moment

Tierney heavily involved in the build up for all 3 goals as Arsenal go 3-0 up. Having an excellent start to the game
Macy says it's the best league in the world!

Maybe Rodney Marsh? I remember a story that when he played for England under Don Revie, Revie told him: "Marsh, if you don't follow my instructions today, I'll be pulling you off at half time" and Rodney Marsh replied "blimey, at QPR all I usually get is an orange".

Dan Crowley. I watched him play for Birmingham City the other night, a few years ago watched him play for England youth teams and thought he'd be a star, although at 22 years old I suppose there is still time.

I watched the coverage last night from half time.
Nauseating stuff. The way they gush about pretty much everything that happened. Embarrassing some of the chat. Talking about City’s best ever players and none were pre Oil injectioned City.
I remember Peter Barnes, he was no 7 for man City a classic and brilliant winger long before the oil and even before your bedtime

I heard Henderson at Liverpool went to Klopp and told him "I'm more effective as a forward midfielder" and Klopp had the maturity to trust a player's instinct. Henderson has always been far better as an attacking midfielder, and Klopp recognised this. Maybe McTominay should advise Solskjaer in the same way.

For those who say that Ireland "developed" him...hasn't he always played in England since he first kicked a ball at the age of 3?

I wish they were called New Scotland Patriots, then I'd support them

Thank you Iainmac, I got my info from Wikipedia, so....it is probably wrong (sorry)!
At least Fort William aren't in as farcical position as the Denmark national team.
And yes, their ground is probably the most beautiful in the UK.... I would love to go there, and Campbeltown to visit Saddell Castle
On Football manager, with judicial computer shut-down of games, I could get Fort William into the Platini League (UEFA Cup) at least?
-
I am wondering if we should start going for the record books.... and to start supporting Fort William.
I always check on Fort William scores, as the way a doctor checks the medical graph at the end of the bed when they are on a drip.
Is it possible to play the manager for Fort William on Football Manager? I'd love to be the Steve Gerrard figure for them.
I'm surprised the patient has recovered somewhat, and only lost 11-0 vs Cove Rangers.
(and, FW have scored more goals than Lossiemouth)
But then they get deducted 9 points for fielding an ineligible player; is their no humanity left?:(
c'mon on....
And 150£.....(it's 10 bottles of Johnny Walker Red label, just to put that into context.....)
I read that the Fort William area is more renowned for shinty and gaelic football and hurling
Is it time for Fort William to just get some hurley sticks and use some wood?

Macy, I kept checking for England bozo's to start a riot in Russia, but nothing happened:(
Not even 2 swedish birds that needed rescuing from the basstud's evil clutches:(
So, the short answer is: Nowt
But I'll keep checking and keep thee posted la'

I have been coming to TAMB since 2001. I am always here. Becuase the funniest place in the world is here. I love you guys (I'm on the swally...I love youse)

I think, when we look back on this World Cup, the thing that will stick in our craw is how popular the ordinary England fans have been in Russia. We were all looking for stories of England fans trashing the place, or chasing Swedish girls (we need to save them!) but the England fans, the ordinary decent ones, seem to have made the Cold War a damp squib, and even had locals supporting them.
This is worrying; I can handle a successful England football squad....(errgghh!)
but surely they can't also have popular fans....:(
Can anyone google the news to see if England fans have caused any trouble?
Because if their is no news on that front....then the bastards may have lost the football, but then they have won the really important thing, which is, how much does everyone love us?

The girl who danced on the ambulance was from Scotland....and the local Millwall Football Supporters funded the money to get the ambulance repaired

England made it to the semi-finals of a world cup
Most of the 206 teams who entered didn't
Our worry is the fact that England will just get stronger....:(

I loved the comment from Mr Strachan on Thursday evening before the Everton game on ITV:
Sudio presenter : "Gordon, you've shaved off your goatee beard?"
GS: "Aye, I've finished my mid-life crisis"

Scottish Iniesta? I like the sound of that!
