certain poignant desperation to this one that stands out in the midst of the foul-mouthed tirade

Windsor Davies, Tuesday, 28 June 2016 15:12 (eight years ago) link

i think, as the last comment in the entire rant, this is some endtimes shit:

Sometimes think football is over-thought. Too much tactics instead of, "Look, there's 11 blokes out there up for a game. Go and beat them"

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 15:13 (eight years ago) link

I actually think the idea of a manager is redundant. A relic. Today a captain should be able to tell his team who does what and manage it.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 15:13 (eight years ago) link

what we need is a strong leader

imagine what he'll say when something genuinely important happens #satire

The captain/manager one is choice but i had to go with "no fuckin good" if more englishmen could finish a run like that then, well....

I loved this so much when lg posted it on Facebook, I laughed so hard it hurt. It's beautiful. (I've never posted on this forum before btw)

Voted 1 though, don't think angry people squeezing in as many adjectives as they can is often a good look

Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 22:30 (eight years ago) link

What a roundabout way to work yourself up to the Giles classic "tactics is a nonsense, Bill"

Besides which, a manager totally shitting himself and trying to fit all his strikers at once into one available position could and should be accused of a lot of things but im fucked if 'tactics' is one of them.

feel bad for danny b tbh, imagine not having built up an armour of total apathy wrt to this shower, what a fucking existence to be stranded in

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 28 June 2016 22:49 (eight years ago) link

just imagine for a sec being a dude that can get so affected by the england team being shit and then picture the years stretching out ahead of you. terrifying.

paul hayward -"credit to Alan Shearer for raising his hand. He would be capable, despite his inexperience."

why would he be capable? where the fuck is the evidence for this?? incredible.

i didn't vote yet but yeah, raging british people seem very fond of adjectives. dunno if this exists with other languages or cultures.

prob could do individual polls for "stupidest", "most unpleasant" etc. what a dick.

surprised this gets two votes: "Oh we are getting Glenn Hoddle's reaction now. Next up the reaction of a paving stone in Blackpool."

hoddle fans or just highlighting the dire british angry man metaphor?

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 08:47 (eight years ago) link

hoddle vitriol coming from anyone came as such blessed relief as to excuse the entire rant imo

(even if it is 1998 gazza partisanship mainly)

the esteem your average bloke on the street maintains for hoddle is fucking terrifying, he is ingerland's cruyff and they won't be told otherwise

r|t|c, Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:26 (eight years ago) link

surely nobody actually likes hoddle? (xpost, weird, really?)

baker is honestly seeming like the worst cunt ever right now.

"Zaza's stupid penalty kick - which he was brought on just to take - is so indicative of the vapid ego driven modern player. #EmptyGangsta"

"All these fake run, hesitating, stop-start stupid dance-move run ups to penalties must be outlawed. Yellow card plus loss of penalty turn."

"Germany miss! let's that stupid dancing prick from Italy off the hook."

"When Italy went out of 66 World Cup fans waited for them at the airport in Rome & pelted them with rotten tomatoes. Thats the style #England"

"We English can only see Wales victory against our abject failure. Our squad should be forced to pull the Wales open top bus thru the streets"

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:29 (eight years ago) link

"I would love to take a penalty. Really fancy myself at it. Don't get the bravery thing. #WallopInItGoes"

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:43 (eight years ago) link

Whenever I read footballers shouldn't be booed I am stunned by the idea. Booed? They should be kicked up the arse on the way to their coach.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:43 (eight years ago) link

Once again, the only response to these over paid, over indulged bores is BOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOO! #POLPOR

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link

Footballers are owned by advertisers these days. We should show our dissent by making anything these creeps endorse toxic. #ShittyProduct

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link

wake up sheeple

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link

How can it be? How can it be that game after game in this tournament is no good? TV keep telling us its better than ever? Its not.#Illusion

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link

If Poland won this tournament, Poundland could change their name to Po'Land and I don't think they could be sued.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link

finally we get close to the heart of the issue:

"And it's true. Like dopey Kanye, thick PL players think a crowd turns out just to witness their existence. Fucking crumbs. #JustOneCurse"

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 3 July 2016 09:46 (eight years ago) link

danny baker def suffers from expert fatigue, I recall him complaining about michael cox's articles being like prophesying from pig entrails, and cox being gracious in return
