Ladies and gentlemen, let me add some comments to the current subject.
First and foremost, may I apologise for starting the Canada colonies
bit. It went too far and too long.
This time, it could be suggested someone will dig even deeper than I and
probably go too far as well.
There is talk about Barrow and Chester......two football clubs quite a
few years ago, who were in the football association proper. Probably
division 3 north as I recall.
It may interest you on a rather dull day to take a look at the clubs who
are in the lower division....but were not too many years ago....then go
to the conference and lower and remind yourselves, just how many clubs
used to be in the third north and south. Yes, the game has changed over
the years....but so have the clubs who were once, a mainstay, albeit, in
the same leagues as we once knew. Divisions One, Two and Three North
and South.....before the Premier League came into being.
Hells bells, thankfully they're fighting back...but the Yorkshire
capital city of York not even in the so-called main league as it always
was for eons. So many upstarts appeared, and then went back from whence
they came. I'm not trying to develop a book.....I'm merely recalling
how the picture has changed...probably for the worse.
And while I'm at it......let's compare the gentleman's game of cricket
(as I recall it) to that of soccer (association football as I recall
it). Had it been a game of cricket and Thierry Henry was at bat, he
would have automatically walked to the pavilion without waiting for an
umpire's call. But it was not cricket...nor was it in 1966, nor was it
with that fat bugger Maradona some years later. I saw the hand ball,
watching the game....and the ref missed it.....too bad!!! Also too bad,
Henry doesn't have the guts to admit he handled the ball, and to his
team's advantage. Vive la France?......no mange la merde!
