TBR, saying you seem to like calling the English racist, provides a get out clause - he can say he misinterpreted you. Keep waiting mate.

My point is, you're in the same predicament as me. You'll have to watch some of the Scotland games on a subscription channel, and make do with the highlights for others. You should be flattered, Sky obviously think there is a fair bit of money to be made out of the Scotland games, or they would not air them.

It depends on the style of the banter and the way that it is done...

If you think that none and half are the same there's a problem mate, you get to see ALL you games in one form or another on the BBC.

People in other home nations, who pay the same fee as you, have to buy another channel to see theirs.

F**k me, I don't live on here you know. Sometimes real life gets in the way between posts, you know?

Anyway, you aren't saying the British media is racist then? There I was thinking you say they have an institutional bias against Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Either way, I ain't apologising. In fact I really couldn't careless about all this, we've done it all before.

We get all our games on BBCNI. That said, it's probably because not many people out side of NI would want to put themselves throught the torture of watching Norn Iron! :D

Gallas threatened to score own goal

As is now well documented he refused to join up with the team in Los Angeles during pre-season, despite agreeing the dates for his return as the other World Cup players did, with the club.

When JosÃÃâ€*’© Mourinho generously offered him a way back into the "family" after the American tour, this was thrown back in the Chelsea manager's face. :p: :D

The manager told him that, even if he did not agree a new contract but returned to the "family" and abided by the rules, he would still select the best players available and would not punish him playing wise.

[...]

Before the first game of the season against Manchester City, when only four defenders were available and John Terry was doubtful with an injury, he refused to play.

He went on to threaten that if he was forced to play, or if he was disciplined and financially punished for his breach of the rules, that he could score an own goal or get himself sent off, or make deliberate mistakes.

The Family :D :D

What a childish Statement.

You are the one with a sky sports subscription, and therefore have access to ALL the games, I do not. You also have access to premiership football, and scottish league football, I do not. And also other sports, that Sky have exclusive rights to. And no doubt you watch Sky, and couldn't give a toss about the people who cannot afford such luxuries. You talk of hypocrisy, I suggest the hypochrisy lies with you sir.

And why is it, there are over 18,000 members on here, and a good portion of them are scottish. And yet you're the only one who constantly moans about this issue ?.

Trying to pass yourself off as the patron saint of non-subscribers, is pretty pathetic IMO. I would rather you admitted the truth, and tell me that you are an arguementative bugger, who likes to rock the boat because you have nothing better to do. :rolleyes:

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
Good news for them, i think the BBC must have a deal with England and Northern Ireland then because somebody mentioned that the first NI game was on BBC NI as well.

Although i will be dammed if i can find any more info about it.

What i dont understand is that UEFA said these games should be available on Free-To-Air in the countries of origin. So a Scotland, Wales, England or NI match should be available locally on the relevant channels. Strange :shrug:

Yes - but what (to paraphrase Mrs Merton) first attracted the 22 year old to the 40 year old millionaire football player? ;)

If you read her biography on her web-site http://www.daniellelloyd.com/ it starts off quite well, then it all seems to go "blonde-shaped".

"I left St. Hilda's with 9 GCSE's and I decided to go to College to do Advanced Science in Chemistry and Biology." So far so good

"As I enjoyed my modeling work I decided to go to Beauty School where I qualified as a Beautician with Massage and Indian Head Massage. I also qualified as a Nail Technician in Gel and Acrylic nails" It's all gone horribly blonde!

Why is that 'terribly blonde'? Have you ever studied any of that? Do you know the extent of practical and theory work that goes into that? Do you assume that all beauty therapists and nail technicians are 'blonde'? Charging 40 quid for an hours work isn't anywhere near 'blonde' IMO.

Not yet... although we now have one thing that we have lacked for years - goal scorers...

I do think we are capable of beating everyone in the group excluding France and Italy, but we all know these things never go to plan as Italy proved at the weekend showing that Lituania are no mugs.

We just need a bit of luck when we do play France or Italy to have a hope.

Giggs showed his class in a 45-minute cameo in Tuesday's 2-0 friendly defeat to Brazil at White Hart Lane.

And Dunga said: "Any manager in the world would like a player like Giggs in their side, and I am no different.

Fantastic third goal by healy. We had the Spanish rattled all game. To come back twice was great.

Even better to see two 18 year olds making their full debuts.

We need to develope some consistency. The difference between the performances tonight and last Saturday was astronomical.

Apparently Sanchez might be resigning this afternoon citing personal reasons, he is due to release a statement later.

According to a friend of a friend who was speaking to some of the squad in a club last night there is a lot of bad feeling between some players and Sanchez.

The 20-year-old Manchester United striker was with fiancee Coleen McLoughlin and three other couples, all long-standing close friends of the pair, at the Panacea restaurant, when Gray, himself capped three times by England in 1999, wandered over, apparently under the influence of alcohol.

The footballers exchanged words before it is alleged Rooney, while still seated, punched Gray, giving the player, who is now at Blackburn, a black eye.

"Wayne and Coleen were enjoying a night out with three other couples and were having a quiet dinner when Michael came up to their table uninvited," said a spokesman for the striker.

"Michael then began making a number of remarks which were offensive to Coleen and Wayne's other female guests.

No, not me. Spurs.

If someone insulted me, my husband would give them more than a slap. I think what Rooney did was entirely reasonable. Gray insulted his fiancee. Gray got a slap. Problem?

Thing is, Gray hasn't reported or complained about it, and no police were called. I think Grays silence speaks volumes...

Reasonable if you think belting people solves problems. Maybe one day your hubby will 'defend your honour' and bite off more than he can chew. Would you both be proud then? Husband in hospital, because he couldn't turn the other cheek to a bit of mouth? Presumably if you wanted the other guy for assault, you'd turn your hubby in too?

And no, I am not a hippy either, but this is neanderthal behavior.

Sometimes, people need a slap.:shrug:

Not likely. At 6'5", 18 stone and an ex-boxer, he can take care of himself.

Until he gets stabbed, shot, beaten with a baseball bat or attacked by 5+ people. No matter how small someone looks, you never know who they might be connected with. People who you hubby can't deal with. You never know what trouble you'll get yourself into. Also 12 year olds carry knives these days.

Charming response. There I was thinking I already headed off such petty posts with "I am not a hippy". I suppose that ends the discussion then.

Noone rattled my cage. You stated your opinion. I have an opposing one and also stated it. Problem?

I really couldn't a monkey's what you and your hubby get upto nor what happens in consequence. You're both grown ups. However, i've seen all too often the consequences post #372 happening in real life, so you might class that as a bit of friendly advice. As I said, I couldn't give a monkey's either way, but this is a discussion forum, so I thought i'd... errr... discuss it. Not relevent, but incidently I do give a monkey's though about irresponsible people who pass this ethos down the line (to children, younger siblings, impressionables etc.) which is leading to and endless circle of violent behavior.

Some people like to get in the last word. I'm making sure it doesn't happen.

This raises an interesting point to me. Unless either OB or Punky emailed a mod, can a discussion like this be closed down. And under the new points system would we get 'reprimanded' in such a case.
I am assuming neither pmed a mod and dealt with the responses as reasonable adults. isnt this a case of OTT big brother?

This is off topic but in order to explain....

This thread would only be closed if one of the team felt it was getting out of hand and nobody was listening to repeated warnings. The only other time it would be closed is if the original poster requested it. If either of those two contacted the team and request it be closed of the basis of their spat, their request would almost certainly be turned down flat as it's not a good enough reason.

And throughout today I have seen nothing in this thread which would make me come anywhere near deciding to issue warning points.

Back on topic now plz.

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about the entire thread, but the discussion between OB and Punky. (which was a bit of a tangent to what was being discussed re Wayne Rooney)

It wasn't a tangent. I was saying Rooney's behavior was not acceptable. Millions of people, especially children aspire to copy him. He is setting an example that violence is acceptable. Those following him will now use violence, thinking its acceptable. Well, that is just breeding a whole new generation of thugs. I don't think that is acceptable.

Something I have noticed about Old Trafford (i've been there)... How quiet the fans are.

Even just now on the TV... All you can hear is 'Yid Army" and "We are Tottenham". You'd think 65,000 Man U fans would be able to drown out a couple of thousand Spurs fans.

Sometimes it can be very quiet.

Why's Lennon not playing? Is he injured?

Which is a big shame... He's amazing... Real loss for us :(

Ronney and Scholes to come back and relegation candidates Arsenal up next.

*edit - I see what you mean now - you meant 4 straight wins - I took it to mean unbeaten. Still, who cares? Arsenal are 4th from bottom and that's all that matters :D
