Rooney could have turned out for Ireland. Fuck him, we stole McGeady off the Scots. It's like watching a Ronaldo who can cross.

vids.

I've seen two of him pulling off the same trick, which is pretty awesome, but he follows both up with some pretty dire crosses.

Is he left wing? I think he's played there whenever I've seen him (ie, once).

If England don't snap me up soon I might aswell try out for Iran. I'm getting real impatient.

It was a decent trick, but it's been done before, a good three or four years ago. Definitely by some Leicester player who fell into obscurity. Possibly Steve Guppy.

Celtic use him out there but he plays central for the Irish youth sides, apparently. He can play with either foot, and all along midfield, both wings or up front. Says he prefers the role behind a front two, though.

High hopes for him, ever since I read an article about him ages ago about how he could do millions of keep-e-ups with a golf ball, like Maradona.

I saw Rooney's uncle do an interview on the news during the Euros.

He was quite possibly the most Irish person I've ever seen.

In fact, he was so Irish, you couldn't actually understand anything he said, other than the fact that he was definitely from Ireland, and by definition, almost certainly very drunk.

I doubt it. He's a sweet crosser.

He did that Ronaldinho thing on his debut. Anyway, he's a couple of years younger than Cristano and the Roonyard. I've only seen a couple of full games from him and a bunch of sub appearances. Berne loves him.

I hear he hasn't been doing it lately, however.

I thought Maradona did it with a Ping Pong ball, but then I'm guessing he probably did it was both and it's probably not that you are mistaken.

I thought you wanted to marry Rooney.

I could imagine him there in a white dress (he'd be the woman) and I'd be in the corner drinking Kronenbourg, with Toby sucking my tiny willy with his black dog lips.

It was all of them.

It was an article I read in the Sunday Times ages ago, before he broke into the Celtic side about how he could do them all day with a football, so then he worked on a tennis ball, then a golf ball, then a ping-pong ball, basically emulating Maradona.

The more players we have like that in an Ireland shirt, the better. Robbie, Duffer and McGeady, with the Fat Controller, Andy Reid, not far behind.

nah trust me, both the crosses are bordering on terrible. You feel bad for the lad, cause he pulls off that move and takes it past 3 defenders then fucks it up completely. I have heard good things though. I'll hook you up with them when I get home, cause I still have them somewhere.

The Rangers one is scuffed, yeah, but the first file there, against Aberdeen, that's a great cross. If you had Hartson or Sutton in there instead of that Somalian spastic Camara, it'd have been a certain goal.

The free kick is great.

The biggest match of his career, against AC Milan, he was very impressive. Milan sent scouts back to watch him after it.

In the match I saw him, he looked decent, with some potential. Doubt he'll ever reach the top heights of the game, though, it's the Irish curse.

He's 18, you piece of shit. Bit early to be writing the kid off. That's like something Simon would say.

I bet if he was a Brazilian nig nog with purple hair and a ginger beard you'd be saying he's the next greatest player in the world.

I'm not writing him off, you wheelchair bastard. I don't think Kevin Gallen will ever play international football.

And please don't compare me to Simon. It's like calling a white man a coloured.

Dickie Dunne.

Ireland are the greatest team in the world. No other side has such a balance of obesity and genius skill.

And stolen black men.

okay, the two clips on that site are the ones i'm talking about. the rangers one is piss poor if he's supposedly two footed, but i can let that go as mistakes are made and it's just bad luck probably. As for the one against Aberdeen, I wouldn't lay the blame anywhere but at his feet. He has ten yards or so in front of him, with no-one steaming in for any obvious tackle. The duffer he took it past turns slower than my grandad and makes no attempt to go for the ball again, he just starts running up. So why he can't take the time to pick out a decent pass is beyond me. With the space he has, he could probably get into a decent shooting position as well.

The free kick is fair enough, but it's some shocking goalkeeping to say the keeper had that post pretty much covered. It's pretty much like the one Rooney took today, only James saved it.

WHOOOOOO

GUPPY FOR ENGLAND

Only watched the Aberdeen trick from McGeady, which was pretty smart. Gupps did a stepover which left him to the side of the ball and then nutmegged the defender, who was playing for Derby aswell, great stuff.

Also, watching Ronaldo and Rooney link up brings me close to tears of joy lately. Watching that bit with Heinze, Ronaldo and Rooney taking the piss out of city down the left was a joy to behold.

Fair play to Chelsea if they win the league, cause I think the promise being shown by our team, along with the veterans pulling their fingers out and putting in games like it was 99 again is brilliant. My only real gripe is that Silvestre is a bit of a dopey cunt at times, which is a shame cause he can be great on his day. Carroll is doing his job fine too, and I suppose it's nice to see a steady keeper, as Barthez had me a gibbering wreck at times, and I never felt confident with him in net. Carroll seems to generally keep the ball out of the net, and as long as he does that, I'm happy.

I'm looking forward to AC, knowing what we can pull out against Arsenal, and the likes.

Carroll does no such thing, you are doing and ECG now and bigging up the Irish just for their nationality. That was fucking shit keeping when he got nugmegged for Arsenals second goal the other week, and yeah he makes good saves like from Shauny Wright Wright Wright yesterday but overall he is still unreliable, you still need to sign Given in the summer.

:love:

*Senegalese, but whatever, :love:

I know he's Senegalese. I just wanted to emphasise how much I hate him, by associating him with the least worthy of our African brothers.

Henri Camara is a disgrace to the sport of association football in every way concievable. He is shite, greedy, arrogant, disloyal and most probably rapes babies.

If they sign Shay Given I'm going to kill myself. I love that lad.

Jesus calm down, they're 3 old clips.

If you were being that critical about your beloved Cristiano, you'd probably grow to hate him.

ECG, Camara is not shit, he scores some good goals and he was good for Wolves.

Aenima, whats the point of Given staying with you, you won't be in Europe next season, Souness is an incompetant boob, and with him in the United or Arsenal team they'd be in a better league position, I would be shocked if he stays put.

Henri Camara is awful. Really diabolical player, with a ridiculous attitude to go with his lack of ability.

On our side, because he's a really superb goalkeeper that earns us more points than Alan Shearer over the course of a season.

On his side, he's a bit thick with blind loyalties. He could have left a long time ago, but he keeps coming out and saying he loves the club and wants to stay. I wouldn't really blame him if he went, to be honest, but I wouldn't complain if he stayed.

What the fuck, are you two the same person, you are always here at the same time.

And yeah obviously you'd want him to stay, but he was fucking sensational against Arsenal at the Library, and Wenger must have taken notice.

Sam Baker wants to be me. It's a pity his cleft palate and dyslexia hinder his progress, as I am a perfect role model for the modern teenage boy.

Gatesy just follows me around nowadays. Ever since Berne died.

I don't know why nobody has put a bid in for Given yet. He's about 30 now, and been playing regular first team football for a good six or seven years. There was a rumour going around before the January transfer window that Ferguson wanted to take him to Old Trafford in the summer, along with Jenas, which was a weird one. No idea how that one'll play out.

I agree with Dazz on Camara but his attitude stinks.

No, Camara is absolute bollocks. He has the touch of an absolute rapist and is a woeful finisher. One of the worst players I have seen at Premiership level, and definitely at Champions League level.

He's quick, and black. That's all he has going for him as a footballer.

As for Shay, I think he's still only 27 or 28. He made his debut for Ireland at 17, about ten years ago, and has been pretty much number 1 since then.

Maybe he wasn't 17 on his debut, actually, but pretty sure he was still a teenager. I think I'm getting him mixed up with Kilbane who came in around the same time as a 17 year old.

Yeah the way he treated Wolves and stuff was bang out of order.

Given may be 30 but up until this season Newscatle has always been competing for a Champions League place and always seem to look like they might get it, now that they are officially shit, and with Shearer on his way out.

Just checked, he's 28. I thought he was older than that, seems to have been at Newcastle forever. Love that bastard.

I remember when Kenny Dalglish had a mental breakdown and tried to sell off all our best players. Given was one of them. My God he was a cunt.

ECG, did you not see his goal on his debut for the Saints the other week, fucking great goal.

If Camara had been any good for us he would've scored goals when we weren't already more or less relegated :mad:

Actually, he established himself in the Dalglish era, when we were midtable and going nowhere. Out of the eight seasons since, we've challenged for the Champions League about four times. People always seem to forget that between third place with Sir Bobby and second with Keegan we were struggling to finish in the top half.

I don't care if he scored a great goal on his debut. I see great goals on windy pitches in North Antrim on Saturday afternoons scored by fat wankers who smoke 40 cigs a day.

Fact is, Henri Camara has a first touch akin to that of the seductive caress of a rapist, he is quite capable of missing 10 times when presented with 10 clear-cut chances, and overall is a diabolical footballer who does not belong anywhere near top flight level.

Considering the flak his countryman Diouf got, despite being far superior in quality, Camara should probably be executed in the Tower of London for being paid so much money to pretend to be a Premiership footballer.

No, if he scores good goals, it shows he can at least do something, he scored goals for Wolves too, so he can fucking finish the ball.

He was largely terrible for Wolves, except for a couple of months at the end where score four or five decent goals.

Never saw him for Celtic, but I've been told he was worse for them than Stephane Guiv'arch was for us.

yeah i never saw him at Celtic

Also, apparently Dyer nearly got battered before Jenas and Kluvert came to his aid at some club

7 goals in 29 appearances.

He is an awful finisher.

I'm just saying, all I've seen of him is that. I'd be interested to see more if you've got it, because anyone who can pull that off must have something going for him.

On an entirely seperate note, I think I am deeply and utterly in love with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...er/4265489.stm

Manchester United star Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has joined the anti Malcolm Glazer protest by becoming a patron of fans action group Shareholders United.
"I think it is important that the club remains in the right hands," said the man who scored the winning goal in the team's 1999 Champions League victory.

"I am honoured," said Solskjaer, who is the first current player from the Reds to join the group.

Other patrons include ex stars Harry Gregg, Alex Stepney and Paddy Crerand.


"I am absolutely on the supporters' side and think the club is in very good hands as it is today," said Solskjaer.

"I am a United fan myself and only want what is best for the future."

The announcement came on Monday as US tycoon Glazer finally got a chance to view the club's accounts as part of the due diligence process - the investigation to check a business is viable before a takeover.

Everyone had a fit over the lad when he got a few goals for Wolves but he really is nothing special. He's a Championship player.

Solskjaer is great really hope he manages at least one more game for United.

Honestly, this will sound like I'm bitter or something, but the spectacular goals he scores are flukes. 9/10 times they would go out of the stadium. I'm surprised you don't remember the game at the Bridge last season when he only managed to score via the inside of Carlo's right leg.

Arsenal 3-0 up at half time, some good goals but Palace were the better side for the opening 15 or so.

Lehmann very nearly did an Enckleman aswell.

Same linesman as the one at Old Trafford too. It was on the line when Lehmann cleared it.

5-1 at fulltime, could have been 6. Henry scored from onside but Bergkamp was offside so it was dissalowed. Vieira gave away a penalty but other than that was fantastic, as was Bergkamp.

Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

The Icelandic international was stopped in the early hours of Sunday morning in Surrey.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "At 5.20am on Sunday on the A3 southbound near Esher, officers stopped a car due to the way it was being driven. The driver, a 26-year-old man, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol."

She added: "He was taken to a south London police station and has since been bailed to return on a date at the end of March."

A report in The Sun suggested Gudjohnsen had been out celebrating his winning goal in Chelsea's victory at Everton on Saturday.

Why wait till march, he'll just get a fine and slap on the wrist anyway.

HAHAHA YES

first Scowcroft and now Makin has gone, brilliant stuff.

You did get Kamara :shifty:

I can't for the life of me remember his goal actually. I remember all of our ones, but like I've said to Owen before, I often forget goals against us. All I remember is you lot thinking you might get a sneaky win or a draw then Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Floyd 'Asselbaink annihilated you :love:

I never thought that actually. I was listening to it on Five Live and we seemed to be doing ok, then they went round the grounds and my heart sank cause I knew when they went back you'd have scored :'(

Bloody Lampard :rant:

His goal was a beaut, if my memory serves me correctly, Melchiot scored the first goal, then you went 2-1 up, your fans were singing loads and getting all cocky, I think "Champions League, your having a laugh" was one of the songs they were singing, as well as taunting Jimmy for being a sub.

Yeah Melchiot pretty much strolled through our defence :$ Then again he went past on Lee Naylor's side so that's not saying much.

I fucking hate that "xxxxxx you're having a laugh" chant, it's like complete overkill now. Ok yes it's I can see how it's good that it can be adapted to fit almost anything but it's a fucking annoying tune :mad:

You would love to come to a Chelsea game then, we used that tune to sing the following stuff:

Petr Cech, Cudicini
William Gallas, John Terry
Franky Lampard, Makelele
Arjen Robben, Damien Duff
Toppa the league, Aving a laugh
Champions League, Aving a laugh

But that's some good chants.

Better than Arjen Robben, Arjen Robben.

We get two for the price of one.

Plus Maka and Billy get their names sung deservidly.

Even The East Stand and West Stand can do that. Abliet not to loudly.

Your back at last, I was wondering where you'd gone. Someone suggested we sing (to the same tune):

I told my mate, the other day
That I have found, the White Pele

My mate said who? Who is it then?
I told him that, it's Arjen Robben
Arjen Robben, Arjen Robben

Personally I like the on MHL sometimes sing:

Robben's Good, Robben's Good
Running down the wing

Robben's Good, Robben's Good
Watch him do his thing

Wanted by the reds, bought by the blues
Robben's Good, Robben's Good.

Match is about to kick-off soon. I'm expecting Stevie Gerrard to give everybody a good kicking, including his own teammates.

What match :wtf:

The Tsunami thing, probably.

It's alright so far. 2-1 to the dark fellows. Ronaldinho, Kaka and Eto'o have been taking the piss.

Did ya think of me when Camara scored twice and set up another :naughty:

I know there was no tackling, but come on, the guy has some serious talent.

Oh yeah and Zola's goal was a beaut, I wish he didn't go, but then, he left after his best season, so I guess that was good.

Also, I am really glad Ronaldinho never went to United, the guy is class and so loveable, his skills, his body language, his smile :love:

Yes Owen, I know, I am not an idiot, trying harder or not, he still has a good touch and a good finish.

One of the worst players in the Premiership??? Nigga what? No one remember dickheads like Jason Lee, Weah's 'cousin', Slavisa Jokanovic, Stephen Bywater, Diego Forlan, David Bellion, Pascal Cygan, Giles Grimandi, Arjen De Zeuuw. I bet Bolton have a shitload of shit players too, I just can't remember them

Liverpool have had some duffs too. Igor Biscan, Torben Piknik to name some.

Oh yes, Biscan, lolz. You've had a few horrible nig nogs too, shame the names aren't coming to my head right now.

Owen you blind Doofus, I think I know what this comes down to, he is only a poor lil scummer, once he moves to a team you don't envy, you will like him. He has skill and a great shot.

19 goals in a season and has some skill, the Yak is the man, but fuck off to ten million for him. Look RBF, Biscan is shit, De Zeuuw is fat and slow, other then your blackburn rant, you are always wrong.

Please take Biscan off our hands. He's had one good game against Olympiakos, since that and before that he is and has been terrible.

Mr Electric, did you cheer on Mehdi? I most certainly did.

Was Mahdavikia playing tonight?

Yeah, thats who i meant (I think), I didn't know which one is his first and last name

Mehdi is his first name like me. I just wish I could play football like him, one of Hamburg's best players and was wanted by Spurs but they were scared that he would miss too many matches in playing internationals for Iran.
I still rememer his goal against the USA in the 98 World Cup, my house went mental. :)

I see, my name is too fecking English for my liking, I wish my middle name was something cool, even Rischard would have done, there are so many great paki/irani names to choose from and I didn't get one :mad:.

I don't remember his goal, but I wish there were more (or at least any) Irani's in the premiership.

Only Iranian I know to play in The Premiership was Karim Bagheri a couple of seasons back for Charlton but they hardly played him.
I remember Ali Daei scoring twice for Hertha against Chelsea in the Champions League a few seasons back.

4 RBF :love:

<img src="http://www.football365.com/mediastore/Story_Images/MediaWatch/Dioufus.jpg">

I notice you have nothing to add to the Camara debate, not even an 'He played well last night"

Forlan? Joint 3rd top goal scorer in Spain. Fair enough. Where's that gypo Kezman though?

Nig nogs? Did you just say that?

He should have said coloureds, really.

Camara is crap. See his goal last night, where he played it through the defence and ran onto it? He meant to trap that ball, seriously.

He's awful, and a charity match won't change it.

He's quick, I'll give him that, but his technique is terrible and he is not a good finisher. A good finisher would have came away with more goals than he did last season, given the amount of chances he skied or sliced.

I'll never forget seeing the shape of him in the Champions League for Celtic, against AC Milan. Ball coming across the box to him, he's free on just inside, just needs to put it away to become a hero in the San Siro. He was probably thinking about that as he completely missed the fucking ball and caught the air with his wild swing, like the spastic kid who has never played before and just tries to boot it as hard as he can.

Probably because I didn't see it. Unlike some round here I won't wade in and comment on something I've no clue about ;)

EH???!!!!! Bollocks don't I know what I'm talking about, just because you disagree with me MMM, doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about, you don't like him yet he scored goals for you, and has been good in the couple of games for the saints.

I said the premiership, not the world, in his time in the Premiership, Forlan was a joke. I wanna give Kezman more time first, plus he is the man, so I refuse to slate him yet, and don't make me nick MMM's statistics.

Where did I say you specifically :roll: Paranoid :p

Alex Rae scored goals for us yet worked his ass off all season long and didn't bitch when we went down, everyone knew he wanted to go to Rangers and he did it in the right way and for that he is still liked.

Steffen Iversen scored goals for us (not many mind you) and tried but he was still not good enough.

He scored some flukey goals toward the end of the season, for 2/3 of it he wasted some genuinely good chances that often didn't make it onto the highlights show and if we'd had someone like a, I dunno, say an Alan Smith in that position instead, I can guarantee you we would've had a *lot* more goals and a *far* better chance of staying up.

Plus the whole '"I wanna leave thing" and then saying he wanted to play at a bigger club than Celtic (while *at* Celtic no less) just gives me no reason to like him.

Yeah and I have said Camara's attitude stinks, and of course you meanr me :mad:

No, I didn't. Get over yourself.
