Paulo Di Canio
 

Just a question:

All the furore about Mr Di Canio being a self confessed fascist, would he get the same attention from the bandwagon if he had declared himself a communist?

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Whats puzzling me about it all, Why when he was manager of Swindon - No furore?:confused: Seems like double standards to me, Still nowt new wi the press that.:rolleyes:

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

The media attention might be in response to David Millibands resignation as a director, regarding something he said years ago while playing football in Italy, it now appears politics is worming its way into football now:(

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Thats exactly what i reckon it is.:(

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

I thought Milliband was going to resign from the Sunderland Board for the same reason he has given for resigning as an MP - he is taking up a job in the USA.
It appears to me that he is seeking an alternative reason for resigning, not the fact that he has now got a much more lucrative position - how could he meet his responsibilities as a director of Sunderland and an MP when he is working and living in the USA?

Tevez has got away with driving while disqualified and without insurance banned 6 months, 250 community service, £1000 fine, wonder whether I'd have got the same treatment if it had been me, doubt it, but I'm not an high profile footballer.

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Di Canio has said that he wants to turn Sunderland into a major force again and to conquer Europe................

Wonder if he's going to start with Poland ? :rolleyes:

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

What with Italian tanks 1 forward 6 revers gears, the forward gear is in case of an attack from behind;)

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Paolo di Canio has announced his love for a brutal and ruthless nutter who has bullied, threatened and intimidated thousands across Europe as well as blatantly trying to control the media.


Alex Ferguson says he’s flattered :-):rolleyes:

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Hey I saw him batter one of the Braysfords with the end of a climbing rope. No pussy cat. ;)

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Which one of the Braysfords Mr. D.

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Not sure of his first name Mr j... cousin of Malcolm I think , thick necked neanterthal did borstal time before he came down to the Tech nickname "Brainy" ...contradiction in terms I think ;)

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

I grew up with the Braysfords. Billy was a bit younger than me, Clive was just older, we mated out for years in the seventies, sadly he died a few years ago, there were to younger brothers think they're still roaming round Ossy somewhere, could well have been one of those

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Too young yon fer Borstal, would have been either Approved School or Detention.:)

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

I guess so Mr c...."Not that I would have any direct knowledge of all that" ;)

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

When did Borstal start and finish cashy, I'm very cloudy on this, I remember a guy from our class at school, think I was 12 at the time, was sent away, I always thought it was borstal, or has that just come into my mind over the years:confused:

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Very rarely was anyone under 17 sent to Borstal, Though i have known odd uns at 16 n 15 but no younger n that. Can remember a lad of 12 i think it was from gateshead who got life fer stabbing a copper, he was put in approved school first n then moved to borstal as he got older think that was 17.

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Cheers Cashy, might get Susie to dig up some facts:D

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Just had a look on the Web it seems Borstal was for youths between 16 and 21 Cashy, were abolished, in 1982 and replaced with youth detention centres

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Thats inaccurate there were detention centres in the 60s, I know loads that went to Buckley Hall near Rochdale, n also detention was a much shorter term 3 months, Borstal was 6 month to 2 Years. So they never replaced em, they were all that were left when they scrapped Borstals.;)

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

I was mearley on about Borstal Cashy, I know there were detention centres as well, but as you said earlier they were different, and for kids of different ages

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Lads who went to Borstal back in the day used to have a blue dot tattoo on one cheek,(face)

Think it's known as the' Borstal Spot'.

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Idiot identification, more like. :rolleyes:

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

You'll be wanting one of them then Dave:p:p:p

Re: Paulo Di Canio
 

Aye, I'll be wanting one of them stamped onto a few folk I could think of who should be sporting them. ;)
