232.0. "Choking on their own bile EBC1 commentators" by IRNBRU::SHIELDS (Press KP7 for a frontal lobotomy) Thu Jun 18 1992 10:09

    After England's bland and deserved exit from Euor 92 how about some
    choice quotes from those in the know ;
    
    
    "Sweden have been playing above themselves during this championship"
    Barry Davies 20:00 17 June 1992 ( first half last night )
    
    Funny I would of said England were the one's playing above themselves, a
    bland little team, managed by a bland little man playing a great deal
    of bland football.
    
    
    "At least we're not out of the World Cup yet " 
    Jimmy Hill 21:40  17 June 1992
    
    You havent even played a qualifying gane yet
    
    "At least we have qualified for the next European Championship"
    Jimmy Hill 21:41 17 June 1992
    
    That still remains to be seen, hopefully we will be spared any more
    performances like last night's if they send Jimmy and his lot back to
    Coventry
    
    Now a Sweden - Scotland final, there would of been an advert for the game

	Jimmy Hill after last night game...... "at least we don't have to qualify for the next European Championships as there right here in this country" After the performance of the English supporters I wouldn't bank on it !
232.2	Quote Unquote	UKBOPS::RDGMP	The Rebel	`Thu Jun 18 1992 14:24`	6
	"why the f*k did he take Liniker off!!!" Me about 9:00 Pete. 8)
232.3	bye bye Gary	KERNEL::HAWLEYI	We're not worthy!	`Thu Jun 18 1992 15:08`	13
	> "why the f**k did he take Liniker off!!!" last throw of a desparate man. Lineker wasnt doing anything, so why not bring on a sad Arsenal attacker? Linekers not looked too good in the last few internationals anyway, time to make way for new blood. still, hes been a fine servant to his country and an inspiration to others. Ian.
232.4		IOSG::PAGED	Taylor out now !!!!	`Thu Jun 18 1992 15:43`	2
	I had the same reaction when Merson was brought on instead of Shearer.
232.5		ARRODS::OHAGANB		`Thu Jun 18 1992 15:45`	8
	> a sad Arsenal attacker The Merse did seem to be out on a limb last night. Bad positioning or did the pressure get to him as he appeared unable to control a thing? A sad Arsenal attacker? I'm sure the Scousers would pay a fortune for his services. barry.
232.6	erm...	KERNEL::HAWLEYI	We're not worthy!	`Thu Jun 18 1992 16:09`	7
	barry, sad Arsenal attacker = Alan Smith Merson came on for Sinton. Ian.
232.7	It's up for grabs now	SEDSWS::WILLMOTT		`Thu Jun 18 1992 16:19`	16
	That just reminded me Ian, "the free kick is taken form the left of the Liverpool area .... Smith runs in .. it's there ..roooooaaaarrrrrrrr...... Smith scores... it's 1-0.... the liverpool players run to linesman..then the ref...then the linesman ...they both tell them to get stuffed .....and that makes Smith league top scorer..and Arsenel only need one more goal to collect the league title....." Thanks Ian I needed cheering up today. Yes Yes don't bother with the " oh harping back to past victories nothing else to cheer about etc etc " I'm just amusing myself here. CHris
232.8	:-(	KERNEL::HAWLEYI	We're not worthy!	`Thu Jun 18 1992 16:20`	6
	Chris, I love you. Ian.
232.9	That kind of lunch.	ARRODS::OHAGANB		`Thu Jun 18 1992 16:32`	4
	Since the note I replied to has suddenly disappeared I'll trust you on that. Those pints of IPA washh rather nish ackshually. barry.
