    That's another sport.

    If you're an English football fan you should have an unwavering support of the England team. End of.[/QUOTE]
    I just said I'm not an English football fan. I merely support Barnsley. I'm beginning to suspect you are just on a wind-up by the way.

    I think you're missing something obvious. We're all pleased they've qualified and of course would like them to do well, but that doesn't deny us the right to comment on how dire some of the performances have been. Not quite sure what point you're trying to make.

    When the other team parks the bus it is not going to be an entertaining match however we play

    Is that a rule in football? Could have sworn I'd seen plenty of sides with a bit of guile about them cracking open a stubborn defence. If England won the World Cup by parking the aforementioned vehicle in every match and nicking it late on, you'd be creaming your jeans.

    Nothing wrong with parking the bus just don't have a go at the team who have not parked it and not caused a poor match.

    Which bit of this don't you get? Slovenia had a tough away game. They often put 10 men behind the ball, as any side facing such a prospect probably would. In the meantime, they also countered well, could have had a penalty and caused our defence any number of problems. England meanwhile, for all their ridiculously-well-paid stars, had neither the craft or the guile to break down a stubborn defence until the dying seconds. They're as much to blame as the bus!! It's not rocket-science.

    People say it's boring and not entertaining while the other team are sat back defending all game. Ridiculous.

    Entertainment comes when you have two teams trying to win!

    There's counter attacking and then there's parking the bus. If teams came at us the games would be far more open.

    Would you give MOM to a keeper who kept a clean sheet but didn't have a save to make?

    This is like some nightmare-scenario hybrid of Hemsy & Nudger, only waving an England flag.

    Sacked em off 10 years ago, the whole set up is wrong. I started watching Northern Ireland instead, now that's a proper team. **** the national team, they don't deserve the support.

    You do that, if that's what you want to do. I've never followed international football, it's a complete waste of time. Our national side do not deserve the support they get, they're a complete embarasment.

    If that doesn't make me a 'proper fan' them I couldn't give a flying ****. I'll stick to following Barnsley home and away, every game thanks.

    Not proper fan though...
