Village Idiot Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Our president during most of the 80s-90s, Josep Lluís Núñez, has been jailed at age 83 for tax fraud. My dad had business with him in the 90s, and can vouch that he's a massive crook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I laugh at some of the stuff that Garth Crooks comes out with (that Rooney thing in particular) but he totally creeps me out like. His opinions are also always shit and sometimes just plain embarrassing. Remember when he was going on about how James Morrison should be called up to the England squad? Embarrassing tittery.

Pilko Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Garth loves to awkwardly interrupt the Football Focus host or keep talking and talking a load of bollocks when he blatantly has news of a goal somewhere, it's mint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I can't make my mind up, when he goes off into a ridiculously self righteous rant it can be incredibly grating but he definitely brings a lot of comedy value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Nah he's comedic bordering on sympathetic for me. That story about him going into the studio on his own to watch a Spurs game then balling his eyes out when they lost to Stoke and needing to be comforted by the make-up lady for example.

Greg Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30079550 Republic of Ireland assistant boss Roy Keane believes manager Martin O'Neill should hold talks with Everton to discuss the fitness of James McCarthy and Seamus Coleman. McCarthy has missed the Republic's last three Euro 2016 qualifiers and Coleman sat out last month's game in Germany. But both played for Everton four days after the Germany match. "You always get the impression from Everton that Seamus and James are both barely able to walk," said Keane, 43. "So when they actually turn up and they are walking through the reception, you think 'Praise the Lord, it's a miracle'," he added Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I can't make my mind up, when he goes off into a ridiculously self righteous rant it can be incredibly grating but he definitely brings a lot of comedy value. Crooks and Lawro are fantastic for their sometimes-not-intentional comedic value. Well, it's actually quite regularly unintentional really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy has missed the Ireland games this season and has played in virtually every game for Everton. Of course this is probably more to do with McCarthy's lack of commitment than Everton though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Why? What's better about the Bundesliga than can feasibly be replicated? We've got a more lucrative league of far better footballing quality. TV money could easily be used to subsidise tickets prices a lot at little cost to the 'quality' of the league especially at the 'lucrative' top end so you'll be happy that England remains competitive in the CL. Plus atmospheres and crowds will improve across board. It'll never catch on though so it's not worth debating in anyway. Customers rule supreme for what little clubs care about in-stadium and player wages are everything outside of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
