Congratulations Webbie, does that 5th Star now make you a Field Marshal? Go airborne! Or something.
My stadium was New Bayview, home of East Fife.

I seem to remember we talked about celebrity fans of footy teams few months ago. This appears to be the definitive list.

Another topic discussed a while ago was the Scotland v England masters game which took place on Thursday and finished 2-1 to Scotland. Teams and match report here:

One night I asked him "so I keep hearing that Stephen is a jambo?" his dad "aye he is" me "funny, I've been going to the games for over 20 years and never seen him there once"
his dad "well the snooker keeps him busy"

FIFA president Blatter proposes scrapping draws
Reuters
Tuesday April 27, 2004 3:11 PM
BERLIN, April 27 (Reuters) - FIFA president Sepp Blatter has proposed
scrapping draws in soccer, saying every game should have a winner.
In an idea which would revolutionise the world's most popular sport
if adopted, Blatter suggested that games could be decided by a
penalty shoot-out in the case of a draw.
"Every game should have a winner," Blatter, president of soccer's
ruling body, told German sports news agency SID.
"When you play cards or any other game, there's always a winner and a
loser. We should have the courage to introduce a final decision in
every game of football."
Blatter said the best way would be penalties but added he would study
any other proposal
what's wrong with a draw? They are after the dollar.............However when MLS initially started out, they had a shootout at the end of draws and it proved very unpopular, so they scrapped it.

From the Stockport Email list
with regards a guy going to watch the MLS.
I think he hit the nail on the head.
with regards a guy going to watch the MLS.
With you there. I saw a songsheet for the SJ Clash (I think? Maybe
wrong team/city) and the songs were dire, inane pap. They were along
the lines of 'Go San Jose, Go San Jose, Go San Jose!' And then, 'The
ref's a wanker, The ref's a wanker, The ref's a wanker, And so say
all of us!' I ask you?! I bet its your average soccer mom and dad
standing up to sing this song enthusiastically before sitting back
down feeling a little naughty for being so rude! What jolly good
fun!! I wonder how they would take to someone standing up and
shouting 'F****** get into the box Donovan you F****** work-shy
layabout s***e! Where the F*** did you learn to play football, the
F****** beach?!' And then taunting the away fans by suggesting that
they all sleep with their mothers. Oh I forgot, they don't have any
away fans.
It may seem bigotic cr*p from someone who has not yet been to a
sporting event in America, but everytime I have taken an American or
spoken to someone who has taken an American to football in Britain,
they just cannot get over the atmosphere. Even in Highbury!
