Is the break over yet? Seeing this shit happen on breaks (even if he's in the Saudi League) pisses me off

Strange this really.
During last one we had so much momentum we didn't want the break...
Now we do!
Aaahhhh football.

Yeah, back when it mattered (to me at least),I remember actually hoping for an injury during the off-season. Cuz, you know, then it won't happen when it counts, right?

Nice Irish feel to the England set up these days. Not only have you Rice & Grealish but now Carsley. It's getting like the 90's when the Irish dressing room was full of Londeners, Scousers, and Geordies.
Niall Quinn told a great one about Italia 90.
We'd just been beaten by Italy in the Quarter Finals. The players are in the dressing room, heads down, you could hear a pin drop. Then the doors open and there's the Taoiseach (Prime Minister),Charlie Haughey. All the Irish lads look in amazement. He then made this incredible speech, hairs standing on the back of your neck job. He finishes....dead silence....then Tony Cascarino pipes up and says " WHO THE FUCK'S THAT ??"
Quinny turns to him and says half embarrassed " That's the Taoiseach". Andy Townsend turns to Cas and says " Who is he ?...and Cas says "Quinny says he owns a tea shop".
Good Times.

Hehehe, fair enough. To be honest nobody here cares either, except for a few weird footy fans that don't make sense to anyone else.Uhm, I care.
And, let it be said, as much as I love those players, Soccer Canada is a disgrace of an organization. The administrators are either yes-men (or women),incompetent, corrupt, or all of the above. The "sponsors" are actually parasites.
But hey, I love watching them play.

An 'acquaintance' of mine (ie someone I used to play against) joined Soccer Canada's board & was intent on shaking things up. In fact, he eventually became president. He quickly realized it was an Old Boys Network. They tied his hands & he could do nothing about it. It will not change unless there is a clearout.

I visited Canada for my honeymoon, we did Niagara and Toronto. Absolutely loved the place, very nearly moved to live there. We were looking at properties at Niigara-on-the-lake, what a beautiful place.
Problem was work, all that area is paid for by tourism.

Yes, Niagara-on-the-Lake is beautiful but it very seasonal. Was there summer 2023.
As for the Canadian economy, they now turn off the water at Niagara Falls at night to conserve energy.

Deservedly so. Better team on the night and overall. Hopefully St. Poch will turn us around.

We're well off topic, so I'm due some virtual slaps, but aside from all the mountains, lakes and scary wildlife, we've got beer that's second to none. If you drank bad beer whilst you were here, it's 'cause you didn't look hard enough, or you were in the wrong pubs.

I'm Norn Irish, if it's not great Guinness it's not great beer!
Only messing had a few decent pints while I was over but must admit it wasn't a drinking holiday.
