how? , explain.

 

When Kenny Dalglish hits 70 we are going to have a testimonial for him against England at Hampden.

 

He'll come on for the last 5 mins and take and score a penalty with Peter Shilton in goal.

 

After the match of course he will be presented with his 103rd cap.

 

And on and on it goes....jog on!

[Bredbury Blue]

If Shilts isn't up to it i bet player of that era John Burridge is still sleeping in his goalkeeping gloves and ready for a game anytime.

 Give him a Testimonial game then and wheel old all his old team mates. 

Dont belittle getting an England Cap under some pretense of having a friendly against a country he just happens to play in. 

 

Im really disappointed in Southgate for supporting this. Goes against a lot of stuff he has been spouting up to now about giving young players an opportunity etc. 

 

Not surprised by FA cocksuckers Hodgson (dementia setting in) and Phil (that’s why I manage a woman’s team) Neville. 

 

Im already cringing at the thought of his artificial standing ovation when he comes on and his lap of “honor” carrying one of his kids.

Ask an uncapped player if its 'bellitling' an england cap, i think you'll find it aint,,, and saying its  stopping people  GETTING called up,,,,  IT AINT   and calling rooney up and saying goodbye AINT A BIG DEAL  your objections are  ALL IN YOUR HEAD and frankly its just short sighted nastyness, football and the world could do without 'trains of thought' like such. 

[carmine]

I personally think this whole Rooney/England thing is complete and utter nonsense that devalues an England cap and sums up exactly what the FA are a complete and utter bunch of <deleted>.  And Rooney should have simply said, thanks but no thanks.  Its an embarrassing self indulgent crock of shit.

Why would an uncapped player it anything other than belittling a cap?!!!  Ofcourse it is, its total nonsense.

By doing this the FA have admitted it's an absolute joke of a game, with absolutely no meaning. So the Premier League has to stop again for a pointless international that takes away players from their clubs and risks them getting injured. Every current England player who is loyal to his club and feels his fitness is priority, should boycott this game. I certainly hope Walker, Stones and Sterling have "niggles" ???? and are unavailable

yeah  it's a friendly, a good chance for southgate to view in situ and give  run out for squad players that wont make the team VITAL for any manager  and now the 'freindly' game has an extra dimension to it ,which  has to be good commecially and overall good for the game esp in the states ..  hoping 'your' players are injured, not the nicest train of thought !!!, but then your WHOLE arguement is short sighted  and basically mean spirited hey , but then your argueing desperatly in favour of what man city are doing irrespective of wether its within the laws of the game or not  ,, so we shouldnt be surprised

So anybody who doesn't have the same view as you is short sighted and mean spirited. I have a different view that's all.

 

And BTW, do you really think I meant I hope our players are injured? The "niggles" bit is the excuse that is used regularly to get out of playing in meaningless games when there's basically nothing wrong

With Rooney on the field it will be a circus event not a competitive football international.

 

Edit: Something akin to WWF or the wrestling your granny liked on a Saturday afternoon....staged and no real substance.

[jellydog]

Are there more International breaks with this Nations horseshit thing going on ? Seems like it !

So basically you have nothing to say in reply. Figures.

Looks like Rooney had nothing to say either.

 

As you noted 3-2 I am delighted not to be English. Especially on this pathetic circus event.

"If Kane hands me the captain's armband" 

 

I hope Kane withdraws from the testimonial....its surely not a proper match they can be forced to attend.

[Kadilo]

He is clearly full of his own self importance. 

 

Any decent humble person would have done exactly what was suggested by one of the reporters and accepted an acknowledgement in front of the crowd for his services. He could still have played his part in the squad in the build up if he / they feel he still has something to offer younger players. 

 

The whole playing thing and getting a cap is a farce and I would be surprised if this kind of circus will happen again after this episode, despite what he wants to believe.

If he's replacing Kane I hope its after 46 mins.

IF we get a player that scores plays and captains england as many times THEN i hope we do give him the same sort of send off.. it really is called perspective.

Every time i think about this appalling exhibition i just think lets get it over and done with asap banditry and forget it ever happened.

 

And now the FA is asking the premier league clubs to give Scuddamore 5m quid, a guy who's on a wage of 2.5m a year.  Just a rotten sh*thouse organization.

Totally agree. 

Give him his minute of adoration if he is that needy but don’t do it under the guise of playing and getting a cap for England as there are far more worthy candidates at this time.

after 10 years plus  plus he's getting a run out in a freindly to say good bye, NO BIG DEAL, it isnt stopping anyone get a run , i presume there'l be open ended changes   overall its a good gesture and a move away from footballs shallow short term nasty train of thought NOTICE take away 'oh it devalues' arguement and IT DOESNT, viRTUALLY the total  arguement is based on 'I FEEL' frankly a nonsense ignorant stupid peramiter for ANY arguement move on, sit bac enjoy southgates fringe players get a few minutes against a team that i'm sure will be up for a good game.

beyond a reply , think what you say says more about you than ANYTHING even vagually worthy about the fa, which in essence is a decent orgonisation
