WILF 46,815 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) fact is, if you want to see good football played how it should be played you don't do it watching England!! Odd statement coming from a West Ham fan ......We,re English Wilf,that means we follow and support England...................id love to watch Man Utd every week but im from West Ham......in my opinion the club you follow shouldnt be a choice same as the country your from is not a choice......only an opinion like. I would rather watch my club any day of the week mate, course I would like England to win and play good football but the fact is they won't and don't ......... Maybe I am coming at it from an odd angle because I love my football, other than if it's against my club, I want to see the team that plays the nicest football win.......watching kick and rush stuff in the hope of nicking a goal isn't my cup of tea at all.

Lab 10,979 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 If I am honest I couldn't give a flying f**k about The England football team, they play shit football anyway.....anyone who loves the game will get more enjoyment from watching Holland or Spain or even Portugal. Managers like Harry will give fans so much more enjoyment at club level anyway, they may as well get an amature coach to coach England for all the time that it ever matters and for the standard that they play at......fact is, if you want to see good football played how it should be played you don't do it watching England!! Oh i dont know Wilf i reckon with the players you have you definately have the potential to be a quality side. Just take a certain type of manager to bring that out. For me that manager is Harry and has been for a few years now. Glad too see the men at the top have bottled it again and chosen someone else. Still think it has alot to do with the 'bung' scandal Harry was involved with.............who knows? Been hearing about the quality of our players and our potential for ever and a day mate, no offence but when you put them together on the world stage they look like a mid table SPL team but without the spirit!!! They run out of ideas quickly, resort to " put the big lad up front" , play like the ball is a ticking bomb......it's embarrassing !!! Some of the selections are truly mind boggling !!!..........all of the better teams just play round England cause they know that when it comes down to it, as a team, we don't have the answers and are not comfortable enough with the ball. Thats were the manager thing comes in. Someone who knows the game, someone who doesn't panic. I'm not one for remembering football facts and that but i'm sure you've been pretty unlucky on some goalkeeping errors in the last few tournaments.......probably down to the pressure the media put on the team. Up here its a case of knowing our limits and since 98 not to qualify for a tournament has been shite. I think this World Cup there is an expectation level now for alot of Scotland fans...i'm just not sure if Levien is the man to make it happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) The scum media will crucify. Roy at the earliest opportunity wait and see followed by hurry up Harry come on come on hurry up Harry come on , David the twat Davis did an interview with Harry on radio five today , yet the FA never asked Harry.

the_stig 6,614 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 looking likeley ---- biggest plus in hodgsons favour is he`ll lower our expectations so any wins will be a bonus :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,121 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 And how do you propose they do that......they dont have a magic wand!! We have 2 massive training facilities up here in Lennoxtown and Murraypark and they're not producing much hidden Scottish talent so doubt if one or 2 managers sticking it out up here would make any difference. Facts are they have a life to live and families to support so they will go with the money. Yeah same old same old.......Scottish football is a diabolical joke and as always its anyone elses fault just as long as they dont have a Scottish accent ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 look at the talent that has come south , good job that twat wee eck was not around he would have taxed us for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who blamed anyone apart from the lack of talent coming through the ranks? Its you that had a dig saying Scottish managers should stay in Scotland but whats the point if the talent is not there. You wouldn't work for a tenner if someone was willing to give you 20 would you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some people are fans of football before they are fans of clubs........i understand that......me im a fan of my club before im a fan of football i really couldnt give a shit if my team plays well or not just as long as they win ( look at the shit football ive followed round the country all year ) ........we all want to follow our own club who plays great football but the reality is very few of us are that lucky.....dont mean we drop our loyalties does it thats what glory hunters do England are not as good as Germany,Holland etc etc we know that but im f****d if id want to watch the Germans play when England are playing kick and rush or not.......

WILF 46,815 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 personally, I don't think players playing Scotland have the benefit of playing next to world class players week in, week out even at the two top clubs.....it's just not at that level, you can have the best facilities in the world but if your not testing yourself against good opposition every week it don't matter a f**k England as a team have no such excuse, that's what makes it even more bizarre that they can't cut the mustard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Club first, football second for me too pal but I am afraid that don't extend as far as England......when England give the fans as much passion as the fans give them, then they may deserve a bit more respect IMHO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cracks me up the way you jocks bitch and whinge when an Englishman jumps onto a Scottish football thread and slags it off Your game is a joke......no talent coming through,piss poor attendances and managers that dont want to manage there............but f**k it blame money,blame the English,blame the Green Cross Code Man.................blame anyone rather than say " we,re f****n useless " !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You wont see me whinging....i take it for what it is............a debate!! Seems to me the only one getting there back up is you. Infact all i have stated is England is a good side in need of a top manager. Once again i'll say it............I'm not blaming money cause all the money in the world wont chnage the talent that is coming through. Dont get me wrong the younger National side seems to be doing ok so heres hoping for the forseeable future.... Now away and have some pie and mash or some jellied f*****g eels before you ahve a heart attack..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its a phrase that gets thrown around a lot......is it a money thing ? do we think when a player playing well on 500 quid a weekgets noticed and go,s to Man Utd on 100,000 a week he should " run around " more or " shout louder "..................what is this passion thing ?.......our players lack technical ability compared to the Spanish.....but i dont think the Spanish have any more passion,determination or will to win than our lads they are just more gifted footballers with better understanding of the game.

It takes more than a " wee jock " on the internet to get my back up mate Ive said it a zillion times......a Scot cant talk about football without talking about England.......thats the way it was is and will always be......my bet is you will watch the Manc derby game tonight....i havent watched a Celtic/Rangers game for years.........i love football you love football......some things tell their own story i suppose.

Sorry to burst yer bubble mate but its only cause we are on an English manager thread that were talking about it. Infact your beginning to sound a little bit arrogant and exactly what the rest of the world cant stand. But your right i will be watching the game tonight and thats just because i reckon it will be a cracker. Maybe you should try an Old Firm game now and again. Would let you know what passion really is since your struggling with Wilfs explanation. And i mean real passion and hatred, not mickey mouse stuff like the Hammers and Millwall.
