Random Irritations

The notion of Gazza being the best British player is a bit of a nonsense in my opinion. It’s an opinion based on the romantic nature of a flamboyant and troubled human but not based on real evidence.
I disagree to a point. I think for a few short years certainly around and after Italia 90 he was the best British player and one of the best at that time in the world. Sadly he never fulfilled his full potential thanks to alcohol and injuries and so not the best British player ever. That's a whole different thread and based on players that managed to perform at the top for extended periods I've seen you could start with

Shilton
Clemence
Moore
Hoddle
Rush
Lineker
Dalglish

There are so many more to choose from. Would be interesting to see an all time British XI for the forum

Well NI would have the goalkeeper and the left winger. ❤️

So many potential players from the four decades I've watched live football to choose from. It would be interesting to see an XI based on seeing players live and sure everyone on here would have their own side in mind

Sitting here thinking and its so hard as so many keep popping up and so in no particular formation

Shilton
Bobby Moore
Phil Neal
Tony Adams
Ashley Cole

George Best
Steven Gerrard
Kenny Dalglish
Glenn Hoddle

Ian Rush
Gary Lineker (or good old "Ivor" Gordon Davies from his Fulham days as a sentimental pick)

I am sure there will be better/different sides from others but based on seeing them in the flesh this wouldn't be a bad side although maybe lacking in the defensive qualities in midfield and can't see best tracking back too often

Developed an issue with the scar/wound from my operation eight months back... Setting back any chance of a return to playing this summer... To say I am properly fed up is an understatement... Due to my medication can't even drown my sorrows either... Should've carried on working rather than retire then I probably wouldn't have been up the poxy ladder to fall off it..

Microsoft. My pc died months ago, because I punched it. It was flipping annoying.

Have finally bought a new one. It is just as, if not more annoying.

Why do simple things have to be so difficult. I hate computers.
 
Roadworks, just appeared as if by magic (weren’t there 4pm yest) just down the road leading to a massive queue of traffic outside. However roadworks interactive map online says no roadworks there planned within 12 months lol

Wonder what their doing
 
My driver plus coming into work and the night staff leaving loads of drinks and food all over the place. No problem using the room as a breakout room to have your breaks but tidy up and then don't look offended if I come in and raise it as an issue in the morning. Always the same inconsiderate people and really don't want to raise it formally but several are trying my patience
 
Friends who I previously believed to be rational, intelligent people watching Love Island. :cautious:
There is a FB post doing the rounds were someone does a series of actions that they prefer to do rather than watch Love Island. Paper cut your feet and rub vinegar in the cut, stamp on tacks. It made me smile. Moron tv.

I would. I hate dirty lazy people with a passion.

Banned in our house again this year. The line must be drawn somewhere.
Luckily my missus has no interest. But I have too many WhatsApp groups where people are talking about it and arranging their other activities around it, and it's maddening. Can't understand why you would want to watch some personality-free nobodies trying to hump one another on a beach.

Social conditioning is a big part. The sad thing is that someone who is conditioned won’t see it in themselves so you can either take the time to explain it over and over and over, or try to force them into going cold turkey. Good luck, mate. Thinking of you at this dark time.
