Canna Believe I'm Actually Sayin This

What you lot actually won the World Cup. Well first I've heard of this. Thought it would have been mentioned a bit more.

 

I am hoping all the home countries qualify TBH Iain... its a big ask for this tournament, but I hope maybe in the next Euro's all the teams in the British Isles make it. It would be a fantastic event if that were to happen ... and when I say the British Isles I do , of course, mean the Republic of Ireland too.

 

Oh flower of Scotland

 

No scotland no party

 

It was a question on eggheads, obviously nobody got it right

 

Eggheads is a wee bit above my station mate. I'm more of a tipping point man.

 

We certainly did. But 12 months later Law, Lennox, McCalliog and Slim Jim Baxter were skipping over
the Wembley turf after a deserved 3-2 win against the World Champions.

Once having a discussion at work as to who the best player in the First Division was.
At the time , Denis Law was one of the key players at Man Utd and so I nominated him.
The lad I was talking to who was supposed to be a very knowledgable football fan said " if he's that
good, why has he never played for England."!!!!

 

Oh dear. some people have not a clue.

 

Donny I turned 10 a week after you had won the World Cup but I do not remember seeing it happen at the time. Seen plenty footage of the unfortunate event but no actual memory of it. Maybe my father had the good sense and kept me away from the telly.

 

I can't remember much about it either. I was at a do in Scawthorpe which is in the Donny suburbs.
Our host put some bottles of potcheen out and I started supping it. I'm told I passed out and they
put me in an upstairs room to recover. Lethal stuff. Like rocket fuel.

 

I knew you would see the light. Sat having a beer in betjemen bar waiting for the 23.30 back to donny. If you want a ticket for Slovenia game give me a shout my Celt cousin. Cmon England.

 

Tbh I don't actually watch it I just put it on when I get visitors then turn it off on pretence of manners.

Bloke I worked with darnt pit once told me a tale of when he played for Huddersfield reserves .
Said this little skinny weedy Scots lad turned up with a plaster holding his glasses together .
As a defender he said I'm marking him he's mine.
Said he never touched the ball all game this little weedy skinny Scots lad run him ragged ,
Turned his back on prof football after that game and went darnt pit .
That weedy skinny Scots lad he later found out turned out to be Dennis Law .

 

Chop I'd prefer you called me your Arab friend as celt is far too close to celtic for my liking.

 

I cut it short after predictive said the c word but Arab it is from now on.

 

Bloke I once worked with was from Dunfermline and as well as football was into Native American Indian Culture.
He went on holiday to the USA and ended up in a small town in Utah. Down to his last ten dollars he saw a sign
that said " Beat the Chief and win $1,000 for $10. Apparently you could pay your $10 and ask a genuine Shoshone
Chief any question on sport over the past twenty years. The rule was you could only ask one single question ever because the Chief had the reputation of having a photographic memory and so nobody ever fooled him.

He went into the tent where the Chief was sitting and said " in July 2010 Dunfermline played Alloa in the first round of the SFL Cup. What was the score.?" Without hesitation the Chief said " it was 1-0 to Dunfermline." My mate left absolutely
gutted. Some five years later, he got married and as a surprise took his bride back to same village he had visited previously
and saw that the Chief was still offering the same challenge, but the prize money had now gone up to $10,000.

He persuaded his wife who was an Arsenal fan to give it a go and she agreed.
He said to her "before you go in with your question, I want to test this photographic memory claim. Wait here and I'll go in and greet him in his mother tongue." He walked into the tent put his right hand up horizontally in the air and said "How".
Without hesitation the Chief replied " Penalty 64 th minute."!!
