ITV Times The Adverts Wrong Again!

It just goes to prove that advert breaks and sport do not mix!

South Korea, Nigeria and of course England

The teams I’ll support today.

The first was OK, but Nigeria looks a bit dodgy.

They do it differently in Holland

This was in today’s Sun.

Apparently Heinekin are not pleased as Bavaria came up with the idea.  But the Dutch do like their orange.

Tey’re both crap beers, as I’m a coeliac.

Liverpool On The Brink?

There is a report today on the BBC that Benitez is going to leave.

No-one seems interested in buying the club, s perhaps we’ll have more of the same rubbish from a once-great club. And of course lots more whinging Scousers.

Lose Eurovision and win the World Cup

Germany did this in 1974. We’ve done the first, so here’s hoping.

Heysel

Whenever we think of Heysel Stadium in Brussels we think of the terrible tragedy at the football match between Liverpool and Juventus in which 39 Juventus supporters died.

After lunch I took the Metro mainly to see the Atomium and found that it was at the same place as the stadium.

But now the old stadium has gone and a new one, now renamed the King Baudouin Stadium, has taken its place. 

The King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels

I remember I was in Cheltenham that night visiting a client and watched the disaster unfold on the television in my hotel room.  I have had a lot of tragedy lately in my life and I don’t want to go through anymore.  

Hopefully, I won’t see anything like that again.

Ipswich 1 – Doncaster 1

This was a typical end-of-season match with no-one really bothered about the result.  We did see a sweet goal from Connor Wickham and a rather dubious penalty, but not much else.

Except for the sun at half-time.

Half-Time at Portman Road in the Sun

Is there any other major ground where you can laze on grass before a match and at half-time? So the grass is plastic, but who cares?

Can anybody explain to me who sponsors Doncaster?  The logo on the shirts looked like the sort of squiggle of which a two-year-old would be very pleased.
