Germany game
From arriving at the station meeting up with the Gristwoods to it all kicking off outside. Having a lowly ticket from the travel club to buying a halfway line ticket from the locals for fcuk all and pretending to be American so they wouldn’t put me and a complete stranger i met in the England end. Very hostile England mob there to say the least. Brilliant game with some brilliant football. Hugging the complete stranger I ended up with when Lineker scored. Always thought Beasant coming on for the penalty’s was an option. Robson in a no win situation. Robson let the reigns off that team and they were at it. Thing is the Germans were such a good team as well. Privilege to have been there and seeing the local pick pockets and the ICF getting into it on the way back to the station a fitting and bizarre end. Still have the Final World Cup voucher for a ticket to the final through the travel club. An England World Cup final piece of memorabilia, probably worth a fortune. [Post edited 23 Dec 1:19]

No way we outplayed West Germany in the final. End to end stuff and the quality on show and the occasion easily the best football match I’ve seen and been at. |

Tv showed Marti and xavi studying their lap top
Commentator said Marti looked worried, missed the joke about xavi being calm |

Credit where it’s due Leicester are showing some fight and spirit.
The recovery and block by their defender on Saito’s shot for example [Post edited 20 Dec 16:30]

Commentator here keeps asking what must Marti Cifuentes be thinking.
I wish I had some of these players when I was here, that’s what he’s thinking. |

Remember going to Plymouth away under Holloway during his first stint. What a dire game of football either 1-1 or 0-0. Some of Holloways football was awful at times.
Got home many hours later to a house full lamenting good result today. |

I was living in Kansas City, Missouri and an English girl friend on knowing I supported Rangers said she knew someone who worked for QPR in the community. I said that’s what I want to do if I went home.
So I ended up in Ruislip Gardens and my neighbor Terry used to play with Andy in the supporters club team. Got Andy’s details and along with Steve Q they interviewed me for a coach working in the community program. Started up in the after schools program coaching to working with hard to reach members of the community to being part of the formation of the girls set up. To go to work every day wearing Rangers gear, brilliant. Recently just lost my favourite le coq sportif hat, not happy. Now been working in girls/ladies football for 25 years. My team are currently Maryland state Champions.
Andy gave me an opportunity to which I’m forever grateful. A few of us were tight in the office because we were Rangers. Andy’s dad a lovely man and my dad both took us to Rangers as kids. Andy’s resilience and vision I admire tremendously and literally has done a fantastic job. Believe me you need the diplomatic skills of a saint to do his job. Saw him last December at LR and I still consider us tight. A good guy is Andy. [Post edited 19 Dec 0:16]

Songs with a great start and ending, uprising crescendos, verses, choruses, middle eights etc.
Thought about this as the radio played

As a friend once pointed out during those low periods. Players were so poor supporters who had played at a decent level thought they could at least do better. |

I bumped into Bobby Robson and told him to forget about Kenny Samson and use Paul Parker.
He did. |

My gk mate said he thinks it’s because the balls are more erratic flying through air space.
So that corner was a save and didn’t hit the post? |

Not my astute insight but Barney Ronays from the Guardian.
Players are playing now for the TV DIRECTORS.
Look at my eye for example |

Thanks for the kind words. Happened originally 10 yrs ago. Tried to move a pot, the pot didn’t but my back did. Did it Thursday so been rehabilitating since. Getting slowly better thanks. Still scary.
Going to take that advice about strengthening muscles around the area. Have a great physio I’ll talk to. [Post edited 30 Nov 22:26]
