@0586730O2 You were right I identified the wrong manager

@0586730O2 Pardon?

13 secs, 3rd from left at bottom. Did George W Bush attend Sutton United games regularly lol?

@crowder118  i stand corrected

@0586730O2 Yes Coventry beat Spurs in the 1987 final, one of best games in years and I missed it as my old boss from my Y.T.S placement asked me to work in his video shop that day, tight bugger only paid me five pounds lol. I have seen worse misses than that one on t.v, Kris Boyd has at least one every match lol.

@planetrockford 3rd place playoffs are always good generally as the nations really have nothing to play for and go for it. Yes she is doing well, because she is a woman should not be an issue, everyone complains at the linesmen/ref every week for dodgy decisions and we all know what gender they are. Anyway about the clip I remember this game, I think Coventry had won the cup recently as well, how did Sedgley miss that chance at 3.54, miss of the century!

@0586730O2 You are right, the matches were so boring I resorted to betting on the number of bookings instead of the numer of goals, true. The final was the opposite of the 3rd place play-off which was a great game. Maybe they should get Andy Gray to commentate on the next World cup, that would give us something to talk about lol. Personally I think female refs etc are a breath of fresh air and at only 25 years old she is doing very well to be officiating at that level.

@planetrockford yes a few shock results, but ultimately poor, started slow, waiting for it to kick into life, a few highlights but never got going. The final itself was a good representation of the tounament as a whole. Tight, pensive, frustrating and ultimately a letdown after much promise and expectation

@0586730O2 You are right, the last World cup was poor and my opinion is the only decent one lately post 1994 was the 1998 French World cup. I did enjoy Slovakia beating Italy and New Zealand getting a draw against the Italians. Spain for me were boring.

@0586730O2 Slaven was a hero of mine also Pallister and Mowbray. Slaven works for a radio staion 6 shows a week and is quite the comedian (3 Legends Real radio North East), definately worth a listen on-line as your old manager and boyhood Fulham fan Malcolm Macdonald is the Newcastle pundit. I got quite attched to the Belgian world cup teams of that era for some reason and could tell you the whole squad. Good result for you Saturday but same old Boro, as I listened to the match, lol.
