The son of world cup winner Neil Back MBE, I believe?
That's the 2003 Rugby Union world cup! I remember that day, watched it on the box and then drove off all pumped up, to see the U's away to Rushden and Diamonds.
Craig Fagan got sent off for kicking out at someone when he was on the deck and we got spannered 4-0.
It was a nice new ground, but I believe it's been demolished now?
I know I rarely have good words to say about our main man, but the money he has spent in good faith on a system that is so shit, is very sad.
Obviously, I want us to go up, but nearly 20 years of throwing money into a bottomless pit, the old boy deserves a day out at Wembley or an open top bus ride before he goes.
I guess it's not a crime to back the wrong horse, or at least one that's been knobbled by the Prem/FA/EFL.
How affective would it be saying 'When the fun stops' to a cokehead?
Did banning fag adverts do anyone any harm (apart from tobacco firms)? People still sign up for cancer if they want to, but kids no longer see it as cool. Did banning car adverts glorifying speed actually hurt anyone? Have the restrictions on alcohol advertising actually stopped any of us having a tipple?
So why the f### do we allow vulnerable people to be constantly bombarded by betting adverts? I'm not advocating that there shouldn't be betting, I don't mind a flutter occasionally, same as I like a drink and I used to smoke.
Would it hurt football to only accept sponsorship from ethical firms? There were plenty of idiots that said F1 would never survive if they banned tobacco adverts, but it seems to be managing OK.
At least they pay tax in the UK to fund the NHS etc instead of slithering off to Monaco or Singapore to pay their greatly reduced dues like some of our ‘patriots’.
The report the government commissioned several years ago clearly identifies that the gambling industry preys on certain sectors of our society, but what have they done about it, sweet FA.
Now the constant adverts are whitewashed with ‘know your limit’ or gamble aware’ It’s like a drug dealer waving heroin under your nose 24/7 and saying, just have one.
Not a former player, but it's good to see that Lamberk has found his rightfull place in footy being a pundit for Lad-brokes*, drivelling on about his best XI of players he's managed.
I've listerned to the video three times but I can't understand a word of it. He sounds like a piss-head trying to order a curry. Something about David Fox being a class act. I would have included Jonnie Jackson myself.
It's funny, because if I had to choose my team of the biggest w@n#ers that had soiled our club, I'd be hard pushed to choose between him and Mick 'bigger bastard than....'
*Gamble Aware - Please be aware that the bosses of gambling firms tend to get very, very rich, whilst:
I guess a lot of people would say 'a fool and their money - they deserve it' but according to the UK government, the biggest fools are Joe Public who end up paying for it.
“It’s really helpful of the EFL to give us a three-game week in the last week of the transfer window – we’re so thankful for that!
“I don’t know who makes these decisions, not football people because it just blows my mind but it is what it is.
He also said “We hope everyone gets caught up with their fixtures and forgets about our players because we’d like to keep the group together, if we could but we know that that’s going to be a challenge.”
and
“We have to thank Robbie to this point, because we’ve had some unbelievable offers for some of our players and as everyone knows, he’s a guy who is selling the club”.
They struggle to get a crowd of 300, they get about an hour and a half of sunshine a year and the only time it stops raining is when it's going to snow.
Ya cannie understand half of what they say and their main rivals are a team called Hill of Beath Hawthorn FC. No, seriously, that's their bitter rivals!
If you were a yank with too much money, why wouldn't you buy a club:
a) nearer to home.
b) somewhere warmer
c) somewhere where they spoke English
d) somewhere where the prematch entertainment consisted of more than watching a dog take a dump in the centre circle.
In the US, college American Football gets crowds of +40,000, so what's the attraction of Kelty Hearts?
....and finally, why would you need a consortium to aford it? Have they each chipped in a fiver or have they paid through the nose for it (hopefully the latter)?
If there's any Americans reading that are desparate for a little slice of cute little Great Britland, I have some old bone china cups and saucers, pre-loved baked bean cans, and a roll of toilet paper that's only been used on one side, you can have the lot for £250,000. I'll even spend half an hour speaking Mockney to you, just for authenticity.
Seriously, what the chuff is going on in the UK? Is there no one left in the country with a few quid? (Apart from betting firm owners). The vultures are down to the bones now.
The Russians have pulled the strings of leading Tories and Nigel Manfrog for years and we jump everytime America blinks, I guess it's only a matter of time before old jug ears turns up for trooping of the colour with a waistcoat stating 'Sponsored by Emirates'.
