Re: Tealeaf ????
I'm trying to be objective - yeh they were the better team going forward, but we had a game plan once we went one ahead to defend. I dont agree with it but......
The referee was unbelievably poor - I cant believe some of the decisions tonite, again I'm trying to be objective, goal ruled out for what exactly (just like St.Etienne 1998). How many more times must we go out like this?
I feel totally destroyed.....again.....now all we've got to 'look forward to' is the effette middle-class hurrahs with their "c'mon Tim". Good luck to him all the same - just not my cup of tea really.
C'mon then Tealeaf - give us the benefit of your footballing opinion, you know you want to......!!!!!

Re: Tealeaf ????
Hi CJ.....my brain is in serious trouble at the moment so I'm afraid you're going to be spared the usual lucid analysis and exposure to the truth. But there really is'nt much more to be said above what has already been written. I've stuck my neck out for the last few weeks and stated that England were of insufficient calibre to win this tournament; that Beckham is merely ornament; and that the team should be managed by someone other than Sven.
Footy is about 70% skill and 20% luck, the latter clearly deserting us last night...but it is also about 10% will to win, and that is something blatantly absent from this team. Who now remembers that farrago last october when, after Ferdinand failed to turn up for his drugs test, the team, led by Beckham, threathened to strike, saying the "FA failed us badly".? Does anyone reading this seriously believe that this team had the willpower and love of country to win this tournament when they were prepared to mutiny? Beckham and the others should have been told in no uncertain terms that he & theywould never wear an England shirt again.
But don't worry........the entire nonsense starts all over again next year with the qualifiers for World Cup 06...who do you think will be repreenting our country? I think I know, and I think I know what's going to happen as well.
:engsmil: <---------these things are'nt just for footy, you know.

Re: Tealeaf ????
Sven carefully surveys the team to select the next person to take that all important match winning penalty shot

Re: Tealeaf ????
Ooh, that's his website isn't it? Haven't checked it out yet but they announced it on the tea time news on Granada.. Have a feeling that he's going to get lots of negative e mail.

Re: Tealeaf ????
I dont ever doubt our will to win and even though I didn't agree with the threat to strike I think it showed a 'togetherness' within the side. thursday night was heartbreaking (again!) but we must be optimistic - a defeatist attitude is not suited to the English culture.
I hope your brain is feeling better Tealeaf!? I bet it doesn't help that the RU team is being beaten by Australia 41-16 at the moment, that's five out of the last six they have lost - what is going wrong?
Apparently the ref website was closed won yesterday after it received over 30,000 hits in one minute. I went on to have a look and had a serious debate with myself concerning whether to offer the ref some 'constructive criticism' - decided against it as it wasn't helping my rehabilitation so went down the pub instead. Funny how pain subsides in correlation to the amount of beer consumed.......

Re: Tealeaf ????
OK we didn't deserve to lose. showed true grit and a belief in ourselves. A fantastic performance and I was as gutted as the next fan. With a little luck we could have gone all the way. Look at Greece?
But did we look like the best in europe ? ... I think not
