Thread | England Manager
at 16:51 20 Nov 2022
I know I am an old geezer who is badly out of touch but I hope somebody can tell me this report I saw about the England manager is not true. Salary 6 million quid and a 50% bonus for winning the cup. Unbelieveable. Football must be awash with money. Maybe we need a spectator strike or something. |

Thread | Grammar Schools
at 22:17 8 Sep 2016
I can't help feeling that much of the currently fashionable condemnation of grammar schools is based on two false premises; that they are socially divisive, and that kids who failed the old 11-plus were branded as 'failures'. I'm an old geezer now who went to a boys only grammar school in the early 1950's but we had all sorts there, bright academics through to some right tearaways. I was just a boy from a working class family but I enjoyed and benefited from grammar school though not enough to go to university, doing two years National service instead, but my mates outside school were a mixture of Secondary Modern, Technical and Grammar school boys. We got along fine and theTech and S/Modern boys went on to become printers, plumbers, builders and engineers, all of whom I suspect made more money than I did. Surely any school regardless of type will grade kids by ability and attempting to force kids of different backgrounds to socialise will not work. Finally, condemning today's grammar schools on account of the number of kids getting free school meals seems totally irrelevant. I realise I may be the only surviving Rangers supporter who went to a grammar school so if I get any response I expect it to be unfavourable. No matter. Come on you RRRRRRRRRR's ! |

Flying back from the States I watched the Sports section on the video and an item entitled 500 Great Goals. Since it went as far back as the 1960's I was hopeful of seeing some Ranger's goal from maybe Marsh, Bowles and Ferdinand. What did I get? Agymang, Vine and Quashie. Who the hell compiles these things ? |

Thread | Harry, Adel and Di Caneo

Hate to disagree with Harry as Di Caneo was a gifted player but for my money Adel's rare talent is more reminiscent of Matt Le Tissier (for those old enough to remeber him). |
