It's still not a tescos or an asda yet.

AFC on their way up.

Sneeze!

Bless me.

It's not the same any more though is it Earl?
The romance is gone, they'll be bred like racehorses in ten or twenty years.

They already have done, look at Frank Lampard, Nigel Clough and Darren Ferguson to name but a few.

Even the FA Cup is no longer what it was.

Why don't we start our own rival football association. One that still has time for romance. One where Ronnie Radford can bang it in from 35 yards.

One where Barry Davies can shout "Look at his face! Just look at his face!"

Yes the third round draw for the spoof fa cup live from some pub. Skoob will draw the home teams and Fergus the away teams.

That's how it should be!

There should be romance in football, it's a beautiful game. Thankfully the big clubs keep it alive with pre season friendlies.

We have Real Madrid here at the moment on a 10 day training camp culminating in a friendly against Dublin team Shamrock Rovers. Thayt's a trivia question for the future, "Against who, did Ronaldo make his debut for Real Madrid?"


Liverpool are also sending a team to play a raggedy arsed outfit in County Cork from the metropolis of "Dunmanway" that wrote and offered them a game, 40 grand a week wont impress those lads, "Dave's ball!" means "Daves ball".

Ronaldo will be marked by Ian Bermingham, who earns £300 a week, lives with his mammy and wants to swap shirts after the match.

Ner Ner Ner Neer Ner.

Tallaght Hospital is literally a stone's throw from the ground, he'll be fine.
First class medical services.

Stadium.

Not ground.



That'd only confuse some people.

Ferg

I answered the question. Do I win 5 Euros?

Regards

Skoob.

But will the show pony turn up? I doubt it, sadly. Was at Shamrock Rovers game some years ago. No Ronaldo then either.


I still say start our own cup. Have our own draw. Romance? We can make it happen.


Not like that though, please.

Double again!

I had a season ticket once a Wimbledon, always could see the big guns play, was a super club back then!

I went to school in Wimbledon. All the Chelsea supporters became Wimbledon fans.

Then, when times got tough, it was back to Stamford Bridge.


They walked out on a decent club. All very sad. But the AFC lot are coming back.


Just not in Merton. The council are a bunch of tossers so it will never happen.

Earl

I was born in Salford, literally just down the road from Old Trafford. Hope Hospital.

United are my team. If they were absolute shite I'd still support them.

They've provided me with some lovely moments.

I still talk like Noel Gallagher even though I've lived in the south for 20 years.

Who wants to talk like a farmer?

I have no idea what I'm trying to say here.

Whatever...I'm free

Regards

Skoob.

It wouldn't cost much to make a new one properly. Maybe? I don't really know the answer to that. -Ally

Wimbledon were the only the only club in the South East where you could get a season ticket, they were a great bunch, only when Utd visited town, things could turn ugly!

Skoob, there's no need to prove your Utd status, a real one and a good one by the sounds of it!

Last game of the season, United champions, Wimbledon v United, Selhurst Park - first big game Mrs Skoob attended,

Pete Boyle ((United legend) streaking on the pitch.

Pub drunk dry.

Programme seller robbed by thieving Manc bastards.

Victoria Station: Every train full of United fans.

That drunk bloke singing his head off - "Who's the champions now scum?" in Victoria station concourse.

Buck House - Skoob takes pictures of jubilant reds by the gates.

Happy days.

He'll play 45 minutes at the most but he will play.

This is an Island..... And we control the skies over Europe, Dublin Airport staff
could drop him in Bratislava at three in morning with no luggage, passport or will to live.

Anyway. It's Tallaght.
Small stadium, fans up very close, it's safer playing and he wouldn't have his boot's nicked.


Imagine Tallaght as the ancestral home of the Scouser, still linked by a love of Football and car theft. Most babies don't say "Dada" as their first words, they say "Prisoner J959233".

They have a shopping centre in Tallaght that's known locally as the Olympic Village due to the amount of track suited inhabitants.
It is one of the few places where you can see horses running wild and free.



He'll play.

Enough of the hypocrisy. Just come out and admit you're a red. I am. And I'm proud of it.

United Forever

Despite all the commercial bollocks, it's still my home town team.

I've been there. But I didn't stay! Everything you say about it is true.

Now, if he was to be taken to Bratislava.....

Fergus

Please don't destroy all my romantic illusions about the fair city.

It's like fucking Salford with horses by the sound of it.

James Joyce/Anthony Burgess

Comme ci comme ca.

But without horses.

All The Best

Skoob.

Do you know they have a life size wax figure of James Joyce in the lobby of a hotel in Mullingar, County Westmeath. I think he's sat in a chair reading a book, he scares the shit out of the tourists.

Miserable looking git.



"Salford with horses"
Great name for a book.

Fergus

You just freaked me out.
