cary hill Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) After the revolting yet utterly unsurprising scenes on the Paris Metro, I look forward to the possibility of Chelsea playing Millwall in future. Their respective fans clearly deserve each other.... I was amused, in a bad way, by the cloth eared Chelsea apologist, heard on the radio throughout the day, who claimed to be hearing "J*hn Te88y is a racist" on the Metro, as if this somehow made things seem a lot better. Old news I would have thought.... Edited February 18, 2015 by cary hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm a Chelsea fan, as I've probably previously admitted here, and the most bizarre thing that occurred to me after this incident is that these self-proclaimed "racist and proud" idiots clearly haven't spent much time looking at the Chelsea team lately. With all the black players in the Blues' squad, you'd think that these oafs wouldn't have bothered to travel to Paris to watch the team play.

andyram Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The most one sided 3-2 thriller I have ever seen. Sheffield Wednesday scored from their only two shots in the game. But twice coming from behind to eventually win. Never been so pleased to see a Leeds United win too. We are top of the league (for now!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their racist tendencies probably extend to English only, British at a push, with a dislike of other Johnny foreigners too. Ironic if they do. Chelsea only have two white English players in their entire first team squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62613 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I seem to recall Pat Nevin saying that the reason he left Chelsea was their supporters booing their first black player on his debut. Can't for the life of me remember his name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUTLER2579 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Phil, I think the ref made a poor decision.The tackle was diabolical and the retaliation was pretty over the top.However I think the correct decision would have been two Red Cards. Without the dangerous tackle the Worcester player would never have retaliated. Regards,Derek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanuts Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 well Lee Johnson departs for Barnsley just as we all started to believe he could do it this season and at least get us into the playoffs hopefully Dean Holden can steady the ship whilst in temporary charge but a confident PNE on saturday will be a tough start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The 1987 season brought some notable highlights for Gillingham. In addition to the ten-goal whitewash, I remember they also managed to knock another team for either six-nil or eight-nil. Trouble was, they couldn't produce that kind of blinding performance all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Dave Mackay has died - http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/31704507. One of the hardest players I ever saw but also, according to the rules as they were applied at the time, a very fair one. I remember seeing a TV compilation of Rodney Marsh's best moments from the previous week's match against Derby. Two things struck me about it - he didn't ever get rid of the ball usefully, and the player taking it from him most often (and most forcefully!) was Dave Mackay. When Mackay was manager at Derby, and Francis Lee was still playing, and both were putting on the pounds, Lee said that they were going to do away with the 'lucky programme' competition. Instead, there would be a weekly competition to guess his and Mackay's combined weight. Another of the heroes of my childhood and youth gone.

gordon s Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 With you pH. As one who stood on the Shelf for most home games from 59-67, Mackay was one of my heroes. The hard man alongside Maurice Norman and Danny Blanchflower he was a joy to watch in those years when Spurs reigned supreme. RIP Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's Times Obituary page, it states: "...He also had a long association with a company making ties, which gave him a poor opinion of the dress sense of the modern footballer. Surveying pictures of the Spurs team, he huffed: 'Jermaine Defoe - scruffy b*stard.....Ledley King - scruffy b*stard, Ledley Bling more like.....Aaron Lennon - bloody fast, but another scruffy b*stard. The current lot really ought to get themselves along to Dave Mackay Ties.' " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
