The Football.....

[roubaixtuesday]

As were the comments approved by the BBC for inclusion on their live commentary page, shortly before the regulation 90 minutes was up :

The BT commentary were the same. Mrs T and I were shouting at the telly "no, not over yet" every time whichever witless scouser was on was saying the tie was over.

City chat online today is that those who've got bookings for hotels and flights are going to wait until the very last moment to cancel to make life as difficult and expensive as possible for the scousers. Gotta love the sheer pettiness of football fans.

Yep, I never get this. My next door neighbour is a Utd fan. Never goes just sits in the front room shouting at the telly - not my idea of support especially as Old Trafford doesn't sell out these days.

We could hear him and his 14 year old son loudly cheering every Real goal. I know Rovers fans who spend matches singing about their hatred of Burnley. Personally I like to sing about supporting my team.

We've got a ManU fan one side. I sent him this to pre-empt him.

The Liverpool fans the other side (yes, I know), by happy coincidence, left to live in Malaysia two days ago!

Do you have a particular affiliation with Rangers @Accy cyclist?

The BBC don't, usual open all mics style rubbish from them.

That is utterly pathetic. They could go to the match as neutrals, or to support Real. Hopefully it'll be a good match worth watching regardless of who wins. They could do other things in Paris, one of the world's greatest cities (presumably they have interests outside of football). But no, they'd rather stop Liverpool fans getting to enjoy it (and if they win, they will, regardless of how much they've paid to get there, or if they didn't).

I've always liked them since my school days. I have a pic' somewhere of me wearing their away shirt on my honeymoon in Portugal in 1991. I must have about 9 or 10 Rangers home and away shirts. I went to the final in Manchester in 2008, though obviously I couldn't get a ticket, but reaching a mere mile from the ground was just like being there!! Yes, the 'commentary' is like 2 blokes waffling in a pub, or a garden shed!!

Fair enough. Football can get weird. I've never lived in Killie and inherited my fandom from my dad and grandad who grew up there.

The Beeb can f*cking do one with their coverage of Scottish football. It's an afterthought at best. As much as I have time for them, they're utter b&llends when it comes to football reporting.

I also 'support' Liverpool, but only (well mainly) when they're playing in Europe. It stems from the 1970's when England didn't qualify for the 1974 and 1978 World Cups. Liverpool's Euro' and UEFA cup wins in the 1970's kind of made up for England's absence. So I'm hoping for a Liverpool and Rangers double win this season, but If I had to chose just one to win it'd be Rangers.

Oh well.The Hammers couldn't do it on the night.
They gave it a real go in the second half but going down to 10 men for most of the game was just too much.
Good luck to Rangers in the final.I'll be cheering you on.
