Morley Owl Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Did anybody watch this show last night. I was hoping for a bit more on the tournament rather than what seemed to be an hour long show with reminiscing hooligans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I'd have been hoping for a different result against Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved football back then, and it still fills me with joy thinking back. Italia 90 wasn’t the first World Cup I remember (1982 was) but it was the first that I absolutely loved. It was the first experience I’d had of the country (or certainly my little corner of Yorkshire) getting behind the national team. Cars with flags in them, pubs decked out with the flags and folks seemingly all walking about with England shirts on. Even when we lost to West Germany I remember folks driving cars driving around honking horns and chanting songs from their windows as they drove by. Gazza, Lineker, Platt, Robson, Waddle et al were all fantastic players and it was a good team that should have gone further (how often have we heard that!?) Yes hooliganism was more of an issue back then, but it doesn’t for me need to be recalled in relation to that competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrySpeakup Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 The ground they kept showing the inside of to show how bad things were in the 80s is actually Millmoor as it it now They still play Sunday league games there apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl71 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I’d completely forgotten about that annoying little Tory wanker Colin Moynihan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Exactly what we were talking about other Boris thread. Not only is he a wanker, he has to be a tory wanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl71 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 He was Minister for Sport in a Conservative government which portrayed itself as the party of law and order, serving a PM who hated football fans, and he basically encouraged brutality by the Italian police against England fans. It wasn’t exactly out of context to point out that he was a Tory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was different for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
