![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I stopped watching England a few years ago they played like scared rabbits no joy or verve even against 100 ranked opponents , worse games are when we go 1 -0 up early on, then they really get scared and defend for the rest of the game the old players seem to pass the fear to the new ones and the cycle goes on and on |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Used to enjoy the Rugby world cups. Now often great let down. Few upsets, apart from NZ always beating themselves. The sport is now one of power and size, the days of flair and guile seem to be a distant memory. Still I am buying Setanta and will as always be glued to the rugby for the next month, just another addiction.

A 0-0 draw or better with Monty the Negro and they're on their way to Poland/Ukraine and the English press can start building them up as the best team since the 1970 Brazil side. |

Sadly, you'll probably find the bloke who died didn't deserve it, just a lone guy picked on for that reason.

| ‘Aggro’ boasts of killed footie fan Dad of three Mikey Dye had conviction for pitch brawl Devoted dad and partner ... Mikey Dye with NathalieWales News Service ![]() ![]() Fan ‘murder’ at Wembley Stadium SIX men arrested after Wales fan is beaten to death before defeat to England at Wembley ![]() ![]() Fan ‘murder’ at Wembley Stadium SIX men arrested after Wales fan is beaten to death before defeat to England at Wembley By JOHN COLES Published: Today WEMBLEY victim Mikey Dye proudly boasted about being a soccer hooligan on football forums, it was revealed last night. He had a conviction over a pitch invasion. And he was closely associated with Cardiff City's notorious "Soul Crew" of trouble-seeking louts. Yet away from football matches, he was a father of three described as a "great dad" and a hard-working council pavement layer. Mr Dye, 44, was involved in a clash between Welsh fans outside the North London stadium before Tuesday night's England v Wales Euro 2012 qualifying match. He had a heart attack after suffering head injuries in the fracas. One theory was that the flare-up involved fans of Cardiff and Swansea City, who have a history of hostile rivalry. Six men arrested in the Wales fans' end of the stadium were quizzed yesterday by murder case detectives before being bailed pending further inquiries. But last night police said they believed Mr Dye was deliberately targeted by one person. Mr Dye gave himself the nickname "Ely Trendy" after a group of Cardiff fans who formed a splinter group from the Soul Crew. He spoke openly on forums about travelling to the Championship team's away fixtures since the early 1980s and being involved in "argy bargy". He said he was banned from going to matches for nine months and fined £425 in 1986 after a "pitch invasion and fisticuffs" at Peterborough. But he boasted: "Happy days — wouldn't change a thing." Probe ... cop outside stadium entrance after fan clashMr Dye told how he was in court last year charged with starting trouble at a Swansea City friendly against Swindon in July 2009. Tribute ... team shirt at Cardiff groundWales News Service He was arrested for obstructing a cop at Swindon railway station. He mocked the police's handling of the case, saying in poor English: "These old bill wood not have lived with what fuzz put up with in 80s when they use to come in amonst us an losin ther helmuts an gettin punched while punchin back." Mr Dye was a long-time friend of Cardiff fans leader Annis Abraham, 45. Mr Abraham was with him before the Wembley game, which England won 1-0, but did not witness his death. He said: "No animosity should ever result in anyone dying. It's sickening." Mr Dye's partner Nathalie, his daughter Rebecca, 24, and 21-year-old twins James and Christopher were being comforted by relatives at their Cardiff home last night. A pal said: "Mike was a hard-working guy and a great dad. He made sure all his children were brought up properly." Tributes on a Facebook site set up for Mr Dye included one reading: "Can't believe Swansea/Cardiff football rivalry has ended in a man's death! WALES were playing. Fans should be on the same side." Wembley ... on night of deathBlake Ezra Cole A Bluebirds away shirt was tied to railings at the club's ground. A message scrawled on it read: "RIP Mikey Dye — Nipsy, The Clems and Beef." Both Cardiff and Swansea sent condolences to the family. Swansea said the six men bailed were from North Wales, without saying which club they follow. |
