Reply to: Fat Sam unveiled as new In-ger-lund Manager

Didn't he have some sort of controversy a few years ago, or was it his son? That might come back to bite him in the bum.

One change would stop it all - do what rugby union does and bring in the law that only the captain can approach the referee. The only downside is that it makes it far more unlikely that your goalkeeper will be made captain.

Whoopty fookin do, welcome to the 21st century.

Now we just need a video ref to undermine the mini :nazi: in black when he cocks up and costs the game through either a bad decision (no one can see everything accurately in real time from all angles) or being so arrogant the facts don't seem to matter.


Just do it ffs. I thought we'd got rid of the corrupt blatters that said "we can't do it because we want the game to be the same all the way down to the school playing field", or "it would stop the flow of the game". Anyone really fall for that bollox?

Football should adopt the Rugby League rules on injured players, let the physios treat them on the pitch and the game carries on around them. Stops for head/serious injuries obvs.

That'll stop the rolling around on the pitch like they've been shot types.

Darren Anderton, apparently, swore on the restorative powers of Eileen's healing hands.

Which may go some way to explaining how he was always bloody injured.

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

Also the Elieen Drewey thing became a stick to beat him with but the football he played was decent.

I thought it was his assertion that disabled people were disabled because they'd been bad people in a previous life. Or did I imagine that?

Whether that's what he actually said, or whether that was reportedly what he said, that is the question.

We've had goal line technology in the Prem last season. Worked well.

I think this appointment is so wrong, it might actually go right...

I think you got to look how he sets out his shop when he goes to clubs. He brings in a lot of specialists in the door to work out plans to get average players playing a little bit better with diet, etc. This is all done over the course of months of planning and working with players. At England, he will only get a week or two with the squad. He isn't as tactically astute as people credit him for, just ask the Newcastle fans. He came from Bolton and couldn't adapt his tactics which ultimately got him sacked.

The most successful manager in recent English times was Bobby Robson, a brilliant man manager and very tactically aware. It is something England need to go for again. Personally, I reckon only a few people could of done this job in the world. Hiddink, Benitez and Mourinho.... I would have chosen Redknapp over big Sam.

[quackhandle]

Yeah saw that, not just aggression but swearing too. Is John Terry still playing? Those dumbasses will be sent off every other game (if normal one match ban applies).

AFAICR a game is cancelled if more than three players are sent off per side so there must be a market for first game in this to happen.

I'm going for Saints v Watford.

[Mordac]

I'd have chosen Hoddle as well he's tactically astute (okay he got somethings wrong v Argentina in '98 but he should have got more than one tournament) but there wasn't much to choose from was there?

Also the Elieen Drewey thing became a stick to beat him with but the football he played was decent.

FatSam will get you out of a relegation battle but maybe that's the level of England team at the moment.

They've (The FA) taken a gut reaction on the last game v Iceland where there was no desire, no passion, no plan, no nothing. FatSam will change that but them so could've every man/women/child who watched it. How many misplaced passes from Rooneythat night but no bollocking from Hodgson? He was only bothered what he looked like on the big jumbotron in the stadium.

qh

I think you'll find what he said about disabled people really did for him.

[Hobosapien]

I noticed yesterday they've finally changed the rules on agressive behaviour against the refs but twenty years too late.

[shaunbhoy]

If they MUST have stipulated an Englishman then they should have gone for Harry Redknapp before Fat Sam. He has never won anything worthwhile as a club manager and I fully expect him to take that form into the England job.
You need a proven international manager if you want to win things, so at the moment that rules all englishmen out of the role. Even Klinsmann would have been a better choice.

[Mordac]

Getting Bolton to the Europa League was hardly a relegation battle.

He's a very good coach; I'd rather have had him take over from Fergie than DFM.

Wonder what the F stands for....

[LondonManc]

Can't polish a turd, or a team of them.

Two semi finals in 50 years. And to think Spain used to be classed as the perennial underachievers.

Bite the bullet and merge the home nations into one GB team. Can then have a crack at the Olympics and let the women do the same (like they were allowed to for London 2012). The jocks won't be so keen to leave the UK if they manage to get to the big tournaments too.

Oh, and get a proper video ref installed instead of those useless s stood next to the goals. If they can make it work in cricket, rugby, and tennis there's no excuse for not having a video ref for goals/penalties or any other big decision where play has already fookin stopped.

Football is full of s from the team all the way up to FIFA. As Bob Hoskins once said, "I've tulip em".

Oh, by the way, Elivs is dead and the Berlin Wall has come down.
