General Football & Sports / Regis on tv
« on: March 02, 2017, 09:53:13 PM »
ON TONIGHT MIGHT BE WORH A WATCH
HISTORY CHANNEL 10pm Albion legend Cyrille Regis has relived the horror of being a black footballer in the early 1980s for a new television documentary.
The 59-year-old was speaking to Alfie Allen, an actor who rose to prominence in Game of Thrones and counts singer Lily Allen as his sister, for his show airing on the HISTORY channel in March.
Regis, who won five caps for England, recalled the reaction to his first call-up at a time when the National Front, a far-right political party, was at its zenith.
“The National Front was trying to recruit from the hooligan element in football,†he said. “It was a tough time for being a black player. The worst I had it was back in 1981 when I got my first England call-up.
“A letter came through the post and said if you put your foot on the Wembley turf you get one of these through your knees. It was a bullet.â€
Regis was born in French Guiana and moved to London with the rest of his family as a child.
After Ronnie Allen spotted him playing for non-league Hayes, Regis became one of the club’s ‘Three Degrees’ alongside Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson.
They were trailblazers who helped change perceptions towards black players in football and paved the way for the generation after them.
Since his retirement, Regis has been an eloquent speaker on race relations in the game.
Alfie Allen played youth football for arsenal and sang backing vocals on his dad Keith’s 1998 World Cup song, Vindaloo.
Also featuring in his documentary is former chairman of the FA Greg Dyke, PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor, Sol Campbell, Andy Cole, and the England women’s football team.
Football: A Brief History by Alfie Allen, airs at 10pm on Thursday, March 2, on HISTORY.

General Football & Sports / Is it wrong
« on: February 05, 2017, 10:27:43 PM »
Werther we as fans we wanted him or not is not the question here but was it right that Ighalo who wanted to stop in the premier league was pushed into the Chinese move by Watford His family is settled he wanted stay it sounds to me like its go to China or don`t` play as they have an abundance of player`s and probably would not have been in there 25 man squad . They say players have the power nowadays but not in this instance

General Football & Sports / Mike Dean
« on: November 03, 2016, 11:27:43 AM »
Was it quick thinking or cheating by Mike Dean VILLA just scored and all there players except 1 Jadinek who was going to join them ran to the villa fans in there own half when Dean stopped him and said if you go into you your own half Blues players who were waiting to kick off will be allowed to kick off and have a free run on goal.its on sky sports surely this is cheating on Dean`s behalf as blues had every right to kick off as all players would have been in the right end of the pitch.

General Football & Sports / yellow cards
« on: November 01, 2016, 09:13:23 PM »
Just watching Man City v Barca and Sterling got a yellow card for diving when it was a blatant penalty my point is these cards can`t be appealed against which is totally wrong as a player can banned for doing nothing wrong it happened the weekend Herrara should not have been sent off as the second foul he pulled out of and was a total accident its about time all governing bodies changed this stupid rule wnen they can see the ref has got the decision totally wrong.

General Football & Sports / Guardiola
« on: October 20, 2016, 09:17:58 AM »
That great manager Guardiola or is he you don`t leave one of the best strikers in the world out against one of the best sides in the world unless your making a point. I [ bet he plays against us ] Is Bravo a better Keeper than Hart i don`t think so is tippy tappy football better than a more direct approach ask Leicester .Could Guardiola have done what Raniari did with that Leicester side I doubt it Now i like Guardiola but all i`m `saying is could he have won all those trophy`s without most of the best players in the world i doubt it.

If it is a toss up between Steve Bruce and Big Sam which would you prefer I`de go for Bruce he`s more flamboyant and a bit more charagmistic than Big Sam and I believe he could get the most out of this England squad.
