Ewan Murray doesn't have opinions. He has ideas that he thinks will wind people up. Graham Hunter always reminds me of the Only an Excuse impersonation of Jim Kerr. I just can't listen to the guy talk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready to discuss this at any time. I feel very strongly about the injustice visited on the supporters of Meadowbank. As any decent human being would. I make no apologies for this and I'll be bringing it up repeatedly in future. It's one of the most shameful episodes in Scottish football's history.

Billy Jean King Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Quote below from a BBC news article regarding a bank holiday if England's ladies win the WC (ludicrous but an argument for elsewhere). So their team didn't actually win their version of the last Euros tournament ? "If they win on Sunday, they will become the first England football team to lift a major trophy since 1966". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a man who has lived among them a very long time, I've just become used to their interchangeable use of England/UK/Britain. But this is just thick. The missus in English and I used to point out whenever she did it. She is now hyper aware of it. Not so much out of sensitivity to me, more because there's nothing that will bruise her ego more than having her ignorance pointed out to her. But an awful lot of English folk will skim over that and not see a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice wee reference to 1966 in the first paragraph of today’s match report too. “The Lionesses, looking to become the first England senior side since the men's team in 1966 to win the World Cup, suffered heartbreak after being outplayed by a Spanish side full of flair and creativity.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 This morning there was a BBC article about the women's World Cup with a title along the lines of "suddenly all anyone can talk about is 1966". For the past 40 years, at least, all anyone in England has been able to talk about is 1966. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
