Arabnophobia · 24/11/2018 11:21 pm

Boca fans already planning a revenge attack. They tear gased River players in the tunnel at half time a few years back n' the game was abandonned and Boca were disqualified fae the competition. This will run on and fkn on tae worse.
Folk will be killed at some point.

1915 - BT Sports 1 tonight

Arabnophobia · 09/12/2018 9:46 pm

Some attack fae defence for the goal. Fucking loved that goal!

My lesser foreign team is Liverpool. I know it's not everyones favourite ....but I'll try and explain why

After we sold Ron yeats to them and as a kid growing up with Merseybeat I followed them under Shankly (who learned everything in a time machine from James McLean) and just stuck with them. I know they get bad press for the victim stuff and Heysel and Hillsborough, maybe stuff for a different thread. Was lucky to work there in the 80's, lived in the same village as Gerry Marsden. Liverpool as a city has some striking similarities to Dundee and the people are sound, funny and welcoming. At the time when all the jokes were going round about scousers nicking your car you were more likely to lose one in Manchester than Liverpool.

And now Liverpool have another great ex United defender, there's a statue to Yeats outside the stadium could there one day also be one of Andy?

In Argentina tonight at 2245, Copa de la Superliga Final - Tigre v Boca Juniors.

$4.99 to stream live via Fanatiz.com

Half-time 2-0 to the team I don't want to win but I could watch that all over again.

It's like the opposite of the CL Final last night. Fast, passionate attacking & counter attacking fitba.

Arabnophobia · 03/6/2019 12:43 am

A defensive performance to dream of by Tigre. Fair play to them. The deserve the Cup!

Tek · 03/6/2019 3:58 am

Taken a wee liking to Verona.

Who have just been promoted to Seria A.

Scotsman Liam Henderson a mainstay in their side.

He will be only the 4th Scotsman to play in Seria A.

Without Googling. Can anyone name the other 3?

Denis Law, Joe Jordan and Graeme souness.

Strange choice of team for you tek. Their fans are extreme right wing.

Beharder · 03/6/2019 12:54 pm

Add Hibs legend wee Joe Baker to that list -Torino

Just checked that actually born in England but moved here as a 6week old child Scottish father, more scottish than Goram, Mccall,,Gough, etc etc.

I thought hard about this one, and only got two.

Missed out Jordan and Souness

So, in addition to Denis Law, there is another Scot who has appeared in the top league in Italy.

I only know about this one because of the Italian families who settled in the area in which I live.

Thinking this is a really difficult player to know about, but here's another stunning clue: this Scotsman won nine caps for Italy, and scored seven times. Born in Scotland, died in Scotland in 1985, played in the top flight in Italy and was capped for the Azzuri.

Any guesses?

I cheated on this player via Google as I would never have known about him. Interesting story.

Valencia as I have been lucky enough to see them twice at the Mestalla twice in the early 2000's when in holiday near Alicante at Christmas time.

The first occasion was a 2-1 win over Malaga and the second was a 1-0 defeat to Deportivo La Coruna with Valencia missing a penalty.

Enjoyed both games which had a very good atmosphere and quality.

Although the Serie A name was only used from the late 'twenties, the Italian FA recognises campaigns before that as part of the championship of the country.

Johnny Moscardini.

b&t, I know you are a bit of a Juve fan: you know the historical connections to Scotland in a managerial sense I'm sure.

I actually didnt know about the Scottish managers. Just read about them there. Learn something new every day. Thanks for that.

Never knew that.

Oh well that's my fondness of them over before it's starts.

Moscardini's, still there in Manor Street Falkirk.

I always thought it funny the way Italians over here had fish and chip shops. You wouldn't normally associate them with deep fried food but the inventors of the deep fried pizza were infact Neapolitan. Pizza fritta comes from Naples.
Last time I was in Milan there was a shop there selling them and queue was out the door.
