Can add Tommy Smith and Souness to that
Both who tackled very hard and took man and ball.

Yes a rugby tackle back in the 70's - doesn't make my point any less valid
Don't see the problem. Fiercely competitive Edinburgh derby. Always going to be fouls and a passionate air on and off the pitch. Seems to have been a full blooded match. Possession with no end ball is more sleep inducing than two team going at it hammer and tongs. Lets face it fifteen passes across the back four, midfield and the keeper to get the ball just into the opponents half where it breaks down. High level stuff for the stattos only
When did anyone say it was a problem ?
I just asked why it's proper football because it includes lots of fouls and red cards ?
Swansea played very well yesterday and got a win against a bigger team - certainly no sleep was happening for their fans.
So what makes it not proper football and to be honest what the hell is that anyway?
Ask Doon - he is the one that called it proper football

A rugby tackle...........he jumped on the forwards back after he skinned him, hence Crazy Horse.
Even the rugger guys would see that as unsporting.
Exactly what I was thinking !Do you two really need to infect every thread with your needless and incessant bickering. Why don't you do everyone else on the forum a favour and stick each other on ignore and give us all a break.

I think 'proper football' is about desperately trying to win for your team and the fans/friends/relatives/workmates etc.
Football is so rich these days it is difficult to recognise it from the days of my youth when it used to be the game of the common/working man/woman.
Fly by night players form countries thousands of miles from the fan base of clubs turn up take the eye watering money offered to them and then quickly go home.
One even wanted to leave Newcastle because the disrespected him by forgetting his birthday.
£75.00 a ticket to watch the quality of the likes of West Ham...........as they say down there.........yer avin a laff.
you seem to be the only mod that ever has the issue.
Nice wee win for Hearts against Hibs in Britain's most exciting league.
Joint leaders with Queen of the South and Raith Rovers
3 goals, 11 shots on target, 40 fouls and two sent off.........proper mens fitba.
Sounds like a real derby played with commitment and passion. My mate Fish will be miserable then as a Hibbie
Given it's the second tier of Scottish football I thought the quality wasn't too bad, but it would appear I'm in the minority of Hibs supporters.A draw would have been fair too, but the Indian sign still lingers over my club in derby matches.
Big Fish from Fife?Does guided tours around Scotland? Good lad.
Fish aka the Haddington Bear, aka rock singer from Marillion and now enjoys a successful solo career. He was far from happy and last hear dof consoling himself with a bottle of Chilean Red
Well I watched the Swansea backs pass the ball to each other for about 15 passes yesterday. No attempt by the ManU players to win the ball.
I can assure you that was sleep inducing.
Ah, that fish.Not been seen at ER in a while if I'm not mistaken.
Indeed, I'm inclined to agree - though if it only happens occasionally, I can forgive it.
That was what the majority of Italian Football was like when I watched it in the 90s and I haven't watched much of it since!
Haven't seen enough German Football to write that off, but Spanish stuff, mainly at the top, is my 'preference' to simply watch - for entertainment as opposed to actually follow/support. Best balance of skill, speed, possession and probing for me. Hugely disappointed in the amount of diving though!
EPL is pretty good, but cheating - diving, leaning, holding etc - still isn't dealt with how I'd like (sin bin) as well as the occasional pedestrian 'build-up' and hopeless hopeful balls! Mind you, I can remember watching some games when I felt like shouting 'just shoot!' when the ball was being passed around looking for the 'perfect magic goal' opportunity!
