sturginho Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So Leicester could become the first city outside of London to win the footie and rugger in the same season. But would they be the first city in the universe to be champions of Football, Rugby and Snooker in the same season if Selby wins the world championship?

SoulMonster Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I had tickets for the Manchester United - Leicester game, but can't make it since I am in Orlando. Hope my hotel has a channel that shows the match. It will be at 9 in the morning local time, perfect time to wake up for a game and a guinness (if my hotel even has guiness on tap -- damn, I really feel I should have thought things more through when booking my stay).

Just about every major city in the US has a local MUFC supporters club nowadays. I'm a member of Dallas Reds. The Orlando supporters club is called Orlando Red Army and they get together to watch United matches at The Celt Pub in downtown Orlando... and they definitely have Guinness.

Len, you'd be surprised how large these local supporters clubs are now and most of the members are yanks. We had about 300 people at the pub last time United faced Arsenal. Dallas Gooner Society was there as well and the banter was superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Original_RK Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 We recently bought a house in a nice, upscale area in Dallas. The nearest park to us has a few footie fields, so I looked it up online.... Fuck me, it's time to move! The neighborhood is certainly going to shite soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyTron Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So, the Hillsborough inquiry finally concluded today. Findings? All 96 fans were killed unlawfully and that no blame was to be found amongst the supporters inside, or outside, of the stadium. Hopefully that will finally put to bed the nonsense that people, including a member here, spout about what happened that day and which the families and people of Liverpool have been fighting for nearly three decades to be revealed.

The sad part about it is like...how can i put this? I think its best summed up by my brothers reaction upon reading the headline 'yeah, no shit you fuckin' thick cunts'. All these years its taken just to fuckin' realise that a crimes taken place, i could've told you that in 89 and I was 6 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the sad part is that some people still peddle the narrative that Liverpool fans were drunk and charged the turnstiles, causing the crush, even though the findings have said, 100%, that that never happened. It's taken 27 years for those involved to be found out for what the did that day and the subsequent coverup and they've had 27 years of careers and lives, whilst the families have gone through Hell, never giving up hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
