I should think substitutes are going to be a necessity!

Any step-overs when I'm playing 5-a-side at work results in a 'Chopper Harris' style challenge... Take the piss, I take your legs! As for 5-a-side rules: Bollocks to head height Bollocks to no-one allowed in the box Bollocks to stick keeper Play the proper football rules. BTW Locals v Exiles sounds canny... I'll probably be the keeper! (P.S. I'm absolute shite too! )

On the subject of Rooney becoming frustrated, did anyone else think that for two midfielders who 'love to get forward', he was getting little support from Lampard and Gerrard?? I thought the whole purpose of bringing in a holding midfielder was to give both those guys the freedom to push up as they always desire yet they were more often or not acres behind Rooney and he was screwed.

You know, the more I see this incident, the more I think it's the 'shove' on Ronaldo that seals Rooney's fate. Up until that point, the referee is stood over Carvalho with his arm outstretched indicating a free kick to Portugal - he doesn't appear to be interested in disciplining Rooney at all at that point. Then Rooney grabs and shoves Ronaldo and the whistle goes straight to his mouth and he's summoning Rooney over to administer the red card. Didn't Sven say something in the press conference about the referee telling him that he saw Rooney hit someone?

Sounds good to me!

Not forgetting Italia '90, Euro '96 & France '98 - one day, maybe one day we'll win a penalty shoot out... Saying that though, I doubt there's ever been a more difficult keeper to score a penalty against than Ricardo - not one of those penalties he saved was 'poor' and it was only a stroke of luck which kept Carragher's out...

Any of you females willing to take this little fella on? (needs quicktime to view) http://www.speedyshare.com/417980402.html

October I installed that!

Same here Jimbo but I'm driving up on the Friday as I'm gonna be knackered after that drive. Pud said he didn't mind so I'm guessing he'll say the same about you staying over? And surely Gemmill will let you stay over on the Friday night as well Ritchie? Won't you Scott??

On a serious note, anyone got an idea when tickets go on sale?
