Crawford Bridge Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I was at an American second tier match in the summer. Corners and free-kicks were brought to you by Chuck's Hot Dogs etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should try and get Christies or the like to sponsor red cards in the SPFL imo. This red card is sponsored by Tampax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'WellDel Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 1 hour ago, velo army said: Back on topic. Two things (one will be contentious). 1. At Firhill yesterday each substitute announcement beginning thus; "this substitution is sponsored by such and such auctioneers. Going, going gone". Ooft. 2. Announcements in Gaelic. Very weird. Number 1 is both the depressing continuation of Americanisation on these shores, and at the same time so very 'Partick'. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that the word "rookie" is becoming normalised on this forum, it makes my eyes bleed.

In defence of White City it was still used regularly by FA through 1960s for Amateur Cup SFs, amateur and youth internationals and had been used by QPR couple of years prior. I'd speculate some other London venues may have had their pitches shut regrowing etc. I seem to remember that the FA's preference was for Highbury, but the pitch there was too small to meet the World Cup rules. White City had a much greater capacity then any of the other London options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White City had a much greater capacity then any of the other London options. Having checked in contemporary newspapers the game was down for White City immediately from the draw in January. It had been announced in July 1965 that England would play there and Wembley. HQ of the World Cup organising committee - and venue for in person London ticket sales - was actually White City not Wembley. Venues were selected in October 1963 - even then just 1 game at White City - and Middlesbrough was substituted for Newcastle in mid-1964 after dispute over leases. QPR tried to leave Loftus Road for White City during 1964-65. Of course it was originally suggested that WC 1966 should be a Home Nations bid not just England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian1 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 and yet the most tin-pot aspect of that final report from Stranraer v Clyde (from the Sun) is the last few lines..... "Meanwhile, Rangers beat Ayr United 2-0 in their Scottish Cup fifth round clash. But it wasn't without controversy on Willie Collum's first visit to Ibrox since he faced calls to be suspended from Rangers." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil perhaps? Aside from the seeming unfairness of it, you'd think the FA might want to actually give fans around England the chance to see the national side play meaningful football outside of London for once. Still, the rage, tears, snotters, and meltdowns when some bunch of foreigners has the temerity to pitch up at the self-anointed "Home of Football" and punt the home team oot is well worth it. Not only that, but it's well worth remembering that England with their sole major tournament win are tied with Denmark, Greece and Portugal on that number, behind fellow one-off winners the Netherlands, Czechia/oslovakia and the USSR in terms of finals reached, with those countries all having got to 4 against England's 2 (both at home). They are miles behind the "Big 7" of Brazil, W/Germany, Italy, Argentina, Uruguay, France and Spain, who have all won at least 4 and been to at least 5 finals. Germany are currently on 14 major finals and Italy on 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
