    Do you read your vaxmail ???
    
    Perhaps there aren't TOO MANY Sun readers in here..... 8-)
    Just out of interest what was the squad they named and why ?? Perhaps
    a GB squad (without the Scots..)

254.2ClarificationUPROAR::WOODWARDDDave WoodwardTue Aug 11 1992 13:4725
    hi keith ! - I sent u a reply didnt you get it ????
    		 call me on 071 374 1299.
    
    back to the MIQ.
    	>Perhaps there aren't TOO MAY Sun readers in here
    
    	I agree ! I put in the note on behalf of someone else !!
         (a Sunreader)
    
    
    	The squad they named did appear to be a random selection of the
    	creme-de-la-creme of Brits ( incl our friends from escotia )
        The idea is to pick a Dream Team to face certain "real" teams , 
        this one was to face Barca , tomorrow its versus Marseille.
    
    	This seems to be a copy of the WSC idea of a Dream League whereby
    	you choose any squad and you get points depending on whether
    	members of your squad score goals or save goals or whatever.
    
        btw Keith - how do you think KK is going to do with your lot ?
    	    I've always had to laugh since the day the Arse played Benfica
    	    and KK wrote in the Stun that the Arse would rule Europe for
    	    next 10 years  :-) :-) :-) !!!
    
    	dw.

     Re:1
    
             Why choose Batty out of position and on the wrong
    
       side of the pitch??

    Why choose Batty <full stop>?
254.5Is it nora ?UPROAR::WOODWARDDDave WoodwardTue Aug 11 1992 15:318
     Batty is like a poor mans Paul Stewart but is better than the
    incredibally over-rated Geoff Thomas. He turned in some good perf. for
    England lately but his temprament (sp ?) is ahem suspect.
     As for playing hime on the wrong side etc. I dont really know/care
    what his best side is but as a *general* midfield stopper/creater he
    does seem to have something there (i know not what :-))
    
    	dw.

     Batty couldn't pass water. OK so he's a battler, but he's an annoying
     little geek whos distribution ( excuse mixed metaphor ) is piss-poor,

    Iam not sure if Andy or Neville would play in such a team, there used
to having better players around them......Stirring......

   P.s Waddle is more like creme de la Crap!!!!!!!!

254.13smutKERNEL::HAWLEYIWe fear changeTue Aug 11 1992 17:368
    
    bit dubious, putting Sam Fox in the nets, especially since shes approx.
    4'11". Or were you trying to get her to jump for the ball?!?!?

    Surely not. Julia Roberts is found to be seriously lacking up front.

    What seems to have been forgotten,both by the people selecting teams in
    here,and the so called experts who are picking the teams in the Sun,is
    that if you are playing these teams in an imaginary European
    competition,then only 3 'foreigners' would be allowed to participate.
