Euro 2021

Swedish player sent off for getting the ball properly in a tackle.
This is not the same game I grew up with.

It’s not even a foul.

[donsdaft]

Knocked out by one of those “floaters”?

Give him a mitre mouldmaster in the face and he’ll know what knocked out means.

Could today be any worse? Sweden would have had a much better chance of beating England than Ukraine. And they'll be tired after extra time and a gazillion injuries.

With any luck their entitlement combined with the usual arrogance may help achieve the result that often prevails with that lot.

[donsdaft]

C'mon the Ukraine

Compare the quality of the fitba (and entertinment) of the last two days.

England have been utter s'hite.

I've never seen such huge celebrations for a win in the last 16. Imagine if they actually.... no don't even think about it.

A wet leather ba’. Laces first. A proper mannies injury!

[donsdaft]

Aye

My first real leather ba’ ( fae sunty) had a bladder and yalla laces.

A tin of dubbin in another parcel.


In another ancient story, I got my first game for the school team because of a pair of “billy’s boots”

I’d buggered up my boots or grown out of them or something.
No money for new ones or had to wait for them to come from the clubby book or something.
My old man has a rake in the shed and comes up with his old boots .
Broon leather, up past my ankles.
Steel toecap ( or it felt like it)
Nailed on studs.

Nobody would tackle me.
The mannie Harrower, making his usual late appearance up at the playing field after umpt’een fags in the staff room, sees me sailing past defenders as if they weren’t there and my name is up on the team lines for the 1st year Bunkheed team at the weekend.

[donsdaft]

If it wasn’t for the f’uckin English, I would be wanting Switzerland to win this game.
