The Soccer thread (Part II)

Red carded at a bar!?! I think we should start an SJ boycott on the place.

 

Just another case of The Man holding you down.

 

After the wedding I purchased a drink for the best man. Best man, brother of the groom, didn't have his ID. While I look young, I didn't have the problem after showing my ID.

Sure enough, the newly married man starts going after the bartender, "Don't you know who this is?!? He's the friggin' Reverend!" This only brought about the response, "Well, what he did wasn't very Reverend-like."

I will point out that at this point I probably did have too many. It wasn't a problem as I just had someone else buy for me, but it was rather funny.

Awesome enough, I had changed after the wedding back into my Rangers kit, so on the sheet was "Do not serve man in blue shirt." This has never happened to me before. So, I found it really funny.

 

Looks like one Crew alum might escape the Curse of Sigi:

Ives reporting Danny Szetela will sign a contract agreement with Roma. Could be an interesting move, going to a team led by a manager who has no qualms playing a 4-6-0.

 

Wow. I think that Danny S. is a decent player, but I don't see him even making the US team in 2010, much less starting. It's tough to see how he could possibly play for Roma. He would have been better served going to a less ambitious league or a smaller club.

 

The story suggests a loan is possible.
That sounds about right.

another Beckham opinion ...

 

Just found this online shop ... www.toffs.com ... that sells throwback soccer jerseys. They go for £37 which is about $74. But there are some sweet jerseys available.

 

Sorry, I_W, had I known you were unaware of Toffs' greatness, I would have been all over that! I have an old Scotland and two West Germany kits.

But, just for you...

Since I know you want to listen to the Rangers v. Zeta match.

 

Sometimes Toffs puts jerseys on sale on ebay for ridiculous prices.

 

Hey, I listen to any broadcast involving Scottish accents. You know I'll root for Rangers when they're playing outside the SPL. (And who was the first player mentioned when I launched the player? DMB.)

 

Of course! Thus I share.
