I thought the England team gave all they had - their downfall was mainly that they were outplayed and outthought.

Re: [LU] New levels of indifference
I heard a few people saying they thought England were in the top six - really? Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, without even touching Africa etc. Top 20 maybe, but there is little between England and a whole host of other countries who have little going for them. I think the FA need to accept the Premier League experiment has failed - our footballers arn't getting better with exposure to decent foreign footballers - they're getting worse, as they can 'hide' behind them. If anyone is truly bothered about having a decent national team then it has to change, but, as usual, money will talk so get used to the sort of abject embarrassment that was last night. Ashley Young - the new David Beckham i.e. will be THE figure of abuse everywhere - he was already well on his way, and has just cemented his uselessness in the national consciousness. Dive dive dive! Thank God it's over and we can concentrate on Le Tour, where Engald have genuine stars and a chance of winning. Mind you, there's a couple of days of Wimbledon before all brits are knocked out.

Re: [LU] Ingurlund was Re: List dead before Bastard Bates?
yep, he cut his cloth that's for sure - got the best out of a dire collection of talent. MInd you, leaving Rooney and Young on last night proved he doesn't always have the magic touch re substitutions.

All the players in the England team play at top clubs in the Premiership and earn stellar wages - combined I'd guess much more than Italy do (legally) - yet when they play for England they revert to pub team players, Milner and young were just embarrassing - is it pressure or more likely cos they don't get paid enough to care? ttfn Richard -Original Message- From: leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of John Boocock IFA Sent: 25 June 2012 08:41 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: Re: [LU] New levels of indifference On 25/06/2012 07:49, DAVID NATTAN wrote: Brave performances overall but we are just not good enough After the match we took the dog for a walk and discussed the four games we have seen over the past two weekes.

Re: [LU] New levels of indifference
immediate. Someone said this morning, I think on the Today programme, give it 10 to 12 years. It was the Today programme, and they were talking about skills coaches, and the fact that Germany and Italy have about 12 skills coaches to 1 in England, the German and Italian skills coaches have been in place for about 10 years, that the FA are only now investing in these specialist coaches, hence it taken 10 to 12 years for their endeavours to come to fruition and our national team improve. I thought another good point made in that piece was that the Premier League is so popular because it employs both the skilful foreign footballer, and the heart on his sleeve give all for the team English player. Together it makes for entertaining football. Unfortunately you can't win with heart on sleeve give all footballers at international level. But you can't just blame the FA/PL. Heart on sleeve players are very very popular with English football fans - I've stated before Deano is my fave Leeds player, and he wasn't the most gifted technically :-/ And look at the adoration Becchio gets? Contrast that with some of the more technically gifted players we've had, Kewell for instance, they're just not as popular (and he wasn't even before he weaselled out of the club). Mind you, I can't imagine why anyone's looking forward to tennis? It's about as thrilling as golf!

Re: [LU] New levels of indifference
Agreed - but...if he'd been about 1/100th of a second later on contact with that 90th minute overhead, he'd have scored the goal of the tournament and been hailed a national hero. Look at the slo-mo and he toe-ends it. But he was right on line - a fraction later and it'd have come off his laces and hit the target - and probably would have beaten Buffon. Just like Gazza in 96 v Germany, on such slender margins are our hopes dashed.

Re: [LU] New levels of indifference
It pains me to say it, but Ireland were definitely the worst team in the whole tournament, closely followed by England - yes, even worse than Greece. I can't watch an England match these days without a non-stop pass count in my head: 1-2-3, ball lost and repeat... It is STAGGERING to see how England cannot maintain possession. The two good moves they had yesterday were the result of a string of consecutive passes, but otherwise it was constant losing the ball and crazy champagne passes. Truly amazing, like they were allergic to it. I used to take huge enjoyment from England being hopeless, but now it's just ridiculous. Young, Milner and yes, Gerrard, truly shocking. For those of you who haven't seen them, check out Liam Brady and Eamon Dunphy's half and full time analysis from RTE on YouTube. Priceless. On to my adopted Spain: what IS annoying though is that people say Spain's games are boring like it was Spain's fault, WTF! Spain are the Barcelona of world football at present obviously but France did a Chelsea and employed a blanket defence. Understandable tactic from the french, but if you pick 2 extra defenders you're gonna get the ball even less. Yes the game was a bit dull but blaming the spanish is lunacy.

Re: [LU] New levels of indifference
So unbeaten in 4 games , winning 2 but we were the second worst team there What a load of nonsense Agreed. But they may have played almost the worst football to watch. Roy gave England a game plan (based on their limited abilities) that revolved around defending and trying to sneak a winner. It paid off throughout the group stages, and to be honest almost paid off last night as well. Not that that would have been a fair result in any way, but that's football. Where it went spectacularly wrong for England last night was their inability to attack with any fluidity at all, which left them clutching at a meagre selection of free kicks and corners as the only avenue to scoring. Even if they had sneaked a win last night though (e.g. if Rooney's bicycle kick had connected), then it is surely inconceivable that Germany would have been unable to break them down as well. What was really disappointing about last night was the apparent inability of so many of the English players to do the most basic things. At all. The forwards were woeful, and the midfielders were played out of the game to the extent that I'd forgotten some of them were playing. Carrol and Rooney repeatedly gave the ball away with no sign of control beyond the first touch (if that). Young controlled the ball, but then ran aimlessly into tackles as if he had no clue what else to do. It's always been a source of puzzlement to me how a malaise such as this can overtake an entire team, and England seem to be susceptible to it more than most. Why anyone thought it was a good idea for Young to take a penalty after the sort of game he'd had, I will never know. But then I can't imagine why he was still on the pitch beyond half time anyway.

I agree with you Dave. We won our group. I was never impressed but we played to our strengths. There were several bad teams there. Does anyone ever man mark anymore?

Truly amazing, like they were allergic to it. I used to take huge enjoyment from England being hopeless, but now it's just ridiculous. Young, Milner and yes, Gerrard, truly shocking. For those of you who haven't seen them, check out Liam Brady and Eamon Dunphy's half and full time analysis from RTE on YouTube. Priceless. On to my adopted Spain: what IS annoying though is that people say Spain's games are boring like it was Spain's fault, WTF! Spain are the Barcelona of world football at present obviously but France did a Chelsea and employed a blanket defence. Understandable tactic from the french, but if you pick 2 extra defenders you're gonna get the ball even less. Yes the game was a bit dull but blaming the spanish is lunacy.

Re: [LU] NON LU techy advice
Do the usual tests, swap cable, try on several computers, check the settings, etc. It almost sounds like its loosing sync of signal. so its def. worth looking into. I d go into settings on the monitor, assuming its got a menu you can enter, and see if you can set a standard def. and refresh rate. See how that goes.

Think Portugal will surprise Spain maybe Germany too. This tournament has seen Ronaldo reach some sort of maturity.

Watching England was like watching norway..put everyone behind the ball, defend well and try and get a lucky goal on a freekick or a counter attack. I have been surprised by Italy playing like a team, and by the germans. Portugal are better than expected. The rest mediocre.. I expect germany to beat spain in the final. hasta luego!

Re: [LU] NON LU techy advice
Hey Betty, Just sounds like you have your 'resolution' set too high and the computer graphics adapter cannot compete with it. Try the old monitor with basic settings, then plug in the new monitor without altering the settings. If that don't work, then try Eric's suggestion of swapping cables, try another computer, evern plug into a laptop and try that way. Could be many things, but if it gets a picture in the first place, it looks like a resolution conflict (as opposed to conflict resolution haha) Pete -Original Message- From: leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of John Boocock IFA Sent: Monday, 25 June 2012 10:54 PM To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: [LU] NON LU techy advice I have been given an LG W22435 Monitor, it powers up shows a perfect image and then shuts down.

Re: [LU] NON LU techy advice
I had the same thing happen to a different LCD monitor recently. Tried it on another PC altogether and it did the same thing. After a bit of research found it was a common problem with some when they get old. It went to the skip.
