England boo boys whats your opinion on them ?

disgraceful IMO Cashley is a little cunt and im an Arsenal fan but booing England players is counter productive

why pay that much money to boo the team stay at home and let a real fan enjoy the game makes me sick

I don't understand how mentally retarded fans get hold of tickets
They must receive e-mails.

True.

I completely condone anyone booing and shouting abuse at him when he's wearing the blue of the scum or when he wore the red and white of the scum.

But not when he's wearing the England shirt, thats when club rivalries have gotta be put aside.

I hate the way people say why do people pay to boo. They don't pays specifically to boo.

The boo#ing doesn't even really reflect the player's mistake more their personailuty/character. That should be made clear. No one would boo say Beckham for doing that back pass.

Ashley Cole is the best left back in the world.

I know he's a greddy little cu*t but get it round your nut and move on.

TBF the booing only started when he made the mistake so

the fans were on the players backs before the Croatia game aswell granted they were not playing well at the time but booing is counter productive surely you agree with that

lets rephrase it if you are inclined to boo your own players then you aint a real fan IMO

i do question some fans motives when going to football matches it seems to me some fans buy their ticket to abuse the players and take out there frustrations of every day life rather than actually watch the football match itself all you ever here is whingeing they earn this and that so what get over it stop being a bitter cunt

all they ever say is i paid for my ticket i can sya what i like and thats the kind of attitude im talking about

Ashley Cole is the best left back in the world.

I know he's a greddy little cu*t but get it round your nut and move on.

I disagree with him being the best left back in the world, if he could make passes like he did for Kazakh goal up the other end then maybe he would be

Ashley Cole is at least 50% worse than he thinks he is. He's simply not that great a player. And for heaven's sake STOP TRYING TO DRIBBLE! A good attacking fullback has two qualities that set him apart from an average one: Pace and ability at sending in crosses. That's why I prefer Wayne Bridge. He has pace, can send in a cross and knows when it's time to stop attacking and get back in position in time.

As for the booing, perhaps the fans are trying to send a message to the manager. You know, Ashley Cole is ****, stop playing negative football against no-hopers, that sort of thing.

Erm, Yes... this then legitimised their deep seated hate of Ashely. They used it to vent their frustrations. His character amplified the treatment. TBF if you can't see this then, erm, welll I've got nothing smart to say at this point, but it's the truth.

Yeah I hate the thick ones who always spout that, they don't.

They should save booing for when really necessary, lately they've been too trigger happy.

Ha **** right off.

I can't even put you into the Die hard England category as you clearly don't like him, weird stuff.

all im saying is booing is counter productive agreed ?

i dont care who is playing for your team it makes not sense to boo them

When David Beckham got booed by the fans he pulled his socks up, wore his heart on his sleeve, gained the captaincy and became insanely popular. He didn't go crying to the press.

And honestly you have people who work hard for a living and save up money to buy tickets to watch England play because the team represents their hopes and dreams only for the team to whine about pressure. **** em! Can you imagine a surgeon or a pilot feeling justified in not performing because of pressure? Sorry that I killed ten patients under the knife but doing surgery is really hard!"

all im saying is booing is counter productive agreed ?

i dont care who is playing for your team it makes not sense to boo them

Oh agreed definitely, but I think this personally stems from the whole row between Clubs and Countries, with the sense that the majority care more about their club then England. Be it players or fans.

Booing a particular mistake is extremely counter productive and is likely to make the individual feel like ****, rather than spur them on.

Perhaps booing a team who's doing **** all, not creating chances, and are playing against perceived inferior opp, then a boo at half time could be the spark of life needed.

I think the fans in the Bernabeu had the right idea towards Ashley Cole

Not cool.

This is true. It used to be that the ultimate accolade for a player was to be called up for their country but now some players see it as a nuisance or an obligation, not an honour. There are still players who get up for international duty, Rooney plays his heart out, Wright-Phillips, David Beckham, Emil Heskey... But too many of them just toss it off. It was never like this before. Can you imagine Lineker, Gascoine, Butcher, Adams, Pearce, Waddle, Hoddle, Shilton phoning it in like the current set of ****ing nancy boys?

You inciting racism?

Not cool.

Funniest bit of racism I heard was some player, can't remember who, a black lad, was recounting a tale of playing in Eastern Europe and the fans were throwing banana peel at black players. Think about that for a second: Throwing bananas is racist as it implies the "monkey" thing. Utterly absurd but it's part of the culture of racial intimidation. So why throw banana peel? I worked it out: The fans wanted to throw bananas to insult the black players. The problem was they couldn't afford to throw bananas. They were eating the bananas and throwing the peel at the multi-millionaire black players because they couldn't afford to waste food!

When David Beckham got booed by the fans he pulled his socks up, wore his heart on his sleeve, gained the captaincy and became insanely popular. He didn't go crying to the press.



He was still a an overrated bag of **** who never in his whole career skinned a top class full back!

Who gives a **** if they got booed, ENGLAND ARE ****E!!! Keep going on about your strenght in depth, and best team on paper (LMFAO!!!!) and winning the World Cup when you can't even get to the final! LMAO full fo **** gang of losers! :owned2:

Yeah and one of my posts I described England as ****e. **** I can live with. But ****e and pissy can **** right off.

Yeah, so that means :owned2: by our government! You have no answer for the fact that you bastards are so hopelessly **** at football that you cannot even qualify!

And you only invented rules of the modern format of the game. We invented FIFA at the end and you were not there at the beginning:

Early history

Ancient games
The Ancient Greeks and Romans are known to have played many ball games, some of which involved the use of the feet. The Roman game harpastum is believed to have been adapted from a team game known as "επισκυρος" (episkyros) or phaininda, which is mentioned by a Greek playwright, Antiphanes (388–311 BC) and later referred to by the Christian theologian Clement of Alexandria (c.150-c.215 AD). The Roman politician Cicero (106-43 BC) describes the case of a man who was killed whilst having a shave when a ball was kicked into a barber's shop. These games appear to have resembled rugby football. Roman ball games already knew the air-filled ball, the follis.[2][3]

Documented evidence of an activity resembling football can be found in the Chinese military manual Zhan Guo Ce compiled between the 3rd century and 1st century BC.[4] It describes a practice known as cuju (蹴鞠, literally "kick ball"), which originally involved kicking a leather ball through a small hole in a piece of silk cloth which was fixed on bamboo canes and hung about 9 m above ground. During the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD), cuju games were standardized and rules were established. Variations of this game later spread to Japan and Korea, known as kemari and chuk-guk respectively. By the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618–907), the feather-stuffed ball was replaced by an air-filled ball and cuju games had become professionalized, with many players making a living playing cuju.[citation needed] Also, two different types of goal posts emerged: One was made by setting up posts with a net between them and the other consisted of just one goal post in the middle of the field.

The Japanese version of cuju is kemari (蹴鞠), and was developed during the Asuka period. This is known to have been played within the Japanese imperial court in Kyoto from about 600 AD. In kemari several people stand in a circle and kick a ball to each other, trying not to let the ball drop to the ground (much like keepie uppie). The game appears to have died out sometime before the mid-19th century. It was revived in 1903 and is now played at a number of festivals.


An illustration from the 1850s of Australian Aboriginal hunter gatherers. Children in the background are playing a football game, possibly Marn Grook.[5]There are a number of references to traditional, ancient, and/or prehistoric ball games, played by indigenous peoples in many different parts of the world. For example, in 1586, men from a ship commanded by an English explorer named John Davis, went ashore to play a form of football with Inuit (Eskimo) people in Greenland.[6] There are later accounts of an Inuit game played on ice, called Aqsaqtuk. Each match began with two teams facing each other in parallel lines, before attempting to kick the ball through each other team's line and then at a goal. In 1610, William Strachey of the Jamestown settlement, Virginia recorded a game played by Native Americans, called Pahsaheman. In Victoria, Australia, indigenous people played a game called Marn Grook ("ball game"). An 1878 book by Robert Brough-Smyth, The Aborigines of Victoria, quotes a man called Richard Thomas as saying, in about 1841, that he had witnessed Aboriginal people playing the game: "Mr Thomas describes how the foremost player will drop kick a ball made from the skin of a possum and how other players leap into the air in order to catch it." It is widely believed that Marn Grook had an influence on the development of Australian rules football (see below).

Games played in Central America with rubber balls by indigenous peoples are also well-documented as existing since before this time, but these had more similarities to basketball or volleyball, and since their influence on modern football games is minimal, most do not class them as football.

These games and others may well go far back into antiquity and may have felt the growing pains of the elected officals also influenced which later affected football games. However, the main sources of modern football codes appear to lie in western Europe, especially England.


Medieval and early modern Europe
Further information: Medieval football
The Middle Ages saw a huge rise in popularity of annual Shrovetide football matches throughout Europe, particularly in England. The game played in England at this time may have arrived with the Roman occupation, but the only pre-Norman reference is to boys playing "ball games" in the ninth century Historia Brittonum. Reports of a game played in Brittany, Normandy, and Picardy, known as La Soule or Choule, suggest that some of these football games could have arrived in England as a result of the Norman Conquest.


An illustration of so-called "mob football".These forms of football, sometimes referred to as "mob football", would be played between neighbouring towns and villages, involving an unlimited number of players on opposing teams, who would clash in a heaving mass of people, struggling to move an item such as an inflated pig's bladder, to particular geographical points, such as their opponents' church. Shrovetide games have survived into the modern era in a number of English towns (see below).

The first actual reference of modern football appeared in 1652. The credit for the design of the modern football is generally given to Solomon Sohn.

The first detailed description of football in England was given by William FitzStephen in about 1174–1183. He described the activities of London youths during the annual festival of Shrove Tuesday:

After lunch all the youth of the city go out into the fields to take part in a ball game. The students of each school have their own ball; the workers from each city craft are also carrying their balls. Older citizens, fathers, and wealthy citizens come on horseback to watch their juniors competing, and to relive their own youth vicariously: you can see their inner passions aroused as they watch the action and get caught up in the fun being had by the carefree adolescents.[7]
Most of the very early references to the game speak simply of "ball play" or "playing at ball". This reinforces the idea that the games played at the time did not necessarily involve a ball being kicked.

The earliest reference to a ball game that involved kicking comes from 1280 at Ulgham, Northumberland, England in which a player was killed as a result of running against an opposing player's dagger. A similar episode occurred in Shouldham, Norfolk, England in 1321: "[d]uring the game at ball as he kicked the ball, a lay friend of his... ran against him and wounded himself".[8]

In 1314, Nicholas de Farndone, Lord Mayor of the City of London issued a decree banning football in the French used by the English upper classes at the time. A translation reads: "[f]orasmuch as there is great noise in the city caused by hustling over large foot balls [rageries de grosses pelotes de pee] in the fields of the public from which many evils might arise which God forbid: we command and forbid on behalf of the king, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in the future." This is the earliest reference to football.

In 1363, King Edward III of England issued a proclamation banning "...handball, football, or hockey; coursing and ****-fighting, or other such idle games", showing that "football" — whatever its exact form in this case — was being differentiated from games involving other parts of the body, such as handball.

King Henry IV of England also presented one of the earliest documented uses of the English word "football", in 1409, when he issued a proclamation forbidding the levying of money for "foteball".[8][9]

In 1424, the Parliament of Scotland passed a Football Act that stated it is statut and the king forbiddis that na man play at the fut ball under the payne of iiij d - in other words, playing football was made illegal, and punishable by a fine of four pence.

There is also an account in Latin from the end of the 15th century of football being played at Cawston, Nottinghamshire. This is the first description of a "kicking game" and the first description of dribbling: "[t]he game at which they had met for common recreation is called by some the foot-ball game. It is one in which young men, in country sport, propel a huge ball not by throwing it into the air but by striking it and rolling it along the ground, and that not with their hands but with their feet... kicking in opposite directions" The chronicler gives the earliest reference to a football field, stating that: "[t]he boundaries have been marked and the game had started.[8]

Other firsts in the mediæval and early modern eras:

"a football", in the sense of a ball rather than a game, was first mentioned in 1486.[9] This reference is in Dame Juliana Berners' Book of St Albans. It states: "a certain rounde instrument to play with ...it is an instrument for the foote and then it is calde in Latyn 'pila pedalis', a fotebal."[8]

Not just the Japs and the greeks but the italians too:


Calcio Fiorentino

An illustration of the Calcio Fiorentino field and starting positions, from a 1688 book by Pietro di Lorenzo Bini.Main article: Calcio Fiorentino
In the 16th century, the city of Florence celebrated the period between Epiphany and Lent by playing a game which today is known as "calcio storico" ("historic kickball") in the Piazza della Novere or the Piazza Santa Croce. The young aristocrats of the city would dress up in fine silk costumes and embroil themselves in a violent form of football. For example, calcio players could punch, shoulder charge, and kick opponents. Blows below the belt were allowed. The game is said to have originated as a military training exercise. In 1580, Count Giovanni de' Bardi di Vernio wrote Discorso sopra 'l giuoco del Calcio Fiorentino. This is sometimes said to be the earliest code of rules for any football game. The game was not played after January 1739 (until it was revived in May 1930)

Seems liek the world just agreed to go with the english rules so we can beat the sore losers at their own version so they can't ***** like bum boy overrated cry baby Gazza

The English invented football in the 12th century. The Greeks played something else and the Chinese just did kung fu.

Because the banlouies of France are tougher than the smelly estates of england:

Also Stemming from my last point, do people boo players playing for their club nowadays? I don't think they do, I can't remember it at Wimbledon although I was a kid. Anyway if they don't do it for their clubs, then it kind of sums up the whole attitude to club/country.

Nah, it should be a ****ing privlege. Just to get in the squad. Jimmy Bullard found out. More players should work their socks off and find out about the perks.

They say our latest generation is the most talented, but I'd take passion over taken any day of the week.

LOL, who's the inferior race now? . Was it John Barnes who once picked up a bannana and proceeded to eat it? Unless I just made that one up.

Gaël Clichy and Patrice Evra. I just said two from the EPL off the top of my head and they happened to be guess what? yes you got it us french are better than you at football, why cannot you admit this simple fact? Dossena and Aurellio are also bette rthan the ****bag Mr Cheryl Cole.

english players are **** and overrated. OMFG you actually are so deluded you think he is best in world!? LMFAO!!! You idiots make me laugh. I pity you fools I really do. he has **** all apart from speed the **** cunt. Cheryl Cole would probably do a better job distracting em with her blow job pout.

English players are **** and overrated by anglais chiens (but not outside the ****e island!) and French players are the best. End of story!

I can't even put you into the Die hard England category as you clearly don't like him, weird stuff.

The second part means I can't put you into the England fan boy category despite you thinking cole is the best lb in the world as you don't like him, which is weird, considering hating Ashely cole and saying he's the best lb in the world is no easy task.

Geez, I didn't think it was that hard dude.

And second of all, i don't see why i can't rate Ashley Cole as a player but think he's a greedy cunt? Which he is. All that aside i'd still have him at LB over anyone else, and i wouldn't jump on his back for making one mistake over some no mark country.

No easy task? It's pretty ****ing simple actually.

It's not my opinion, it's a fact. It was on the Internet and everything.

Cole is quite good but he has one major flaw: He isn't that good. So he tries to beat players and make forward runs and risky passes like he's king **** or something and then inevitably ****s it up and ends up so far out of position that England face a counter attack down that flank that usually ends up in some success. Kazakhstan managed it for ****s sake.

If Cole realised how good he was he would be decent. Because he thinks he's at least 30% better than he is he keeps ****ing it up. I'd rather have Bridge who knows his limits than Cole who thinks he doesn't have any.

Ashley made a huge **** up which was a mistake, the crowd made a **** up by booing him which was also a mistake but the actions result in perfect karma.


Pretty sorry that Cole did tyhe **** up and has bottled playing against Belerus because so far this season he has looked real class at Chelsea.

Sorry piggy but you're wrong. Bridge isn't anywhere near as good as Cole. Also, making forward runs is what a full back should do, Cole should overlap the left midfielder otherwise he wouldn't be doing his job. He usually doesn't get too far forward either. Plus the khazak goal wasn't because he was too far forward, it was scored because the England defence fell asleep. I have watched the goal numerous times and I can't see how it is any more Cole's fault than Ferdinand or Upson. Sure Cole made a **** up but the centre halves should have cleaaned that up with ease. If you watch it they had their hands in their pockets.

You started off so well and then you had to mention those Liverpool left backs, you couldn't hold back your bias.

Just like I wasn't thinking of the French, I wasn't actually thinking of LFC when them names came to mind! the bottom line is they are better than the ****bag Cole. In fact any full back who can cross automatically qualifies as better than Cole the useless overrated cunt. On the continent he is seen as useless and only rated by Anglais la losers. I think the problem is after he eats he gets nigeritis and he key-aren't move. Maybe he would play better if they gave him no dinner.

I hope you get banned for racism.

How does a Welsh bloke find a sheep in long grass?


Very attractive

I hope you get banned for racism.

How on earth is that racist? I was just describing the differences in races, that's race related but not racist. You need to discriminate to be racist. After dinner my friend Leeroy said he key-aren't move and that he also needs to use moisturiser on his hands because they get dry very quickly. It is like this joke, it is not racist but race related:

A history teacher asks a class full of kids 'What was Churchill famous for?'

A kid at the back shouts out 'He was the last white man to be called
Winston!'.

Saying n*geritis isn't racist?

it is a disease that Jamaican people get after eating patties. Well thats what leeroy and delroy told me!!!! Why try changing the subject? England are ****e and France are the best! http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/056tbP65p4dVy/610x.jpg

jealous?

Sorry piggy but you're wrong. Bridge isn't anywhere near as good as Cole. Also, making forward runs is what a full back should do, Cole should overlap the left midfielder otherwise he wouldn't be doing his job. He usually doesn't get too far forward either.

Overlaps are essential, that's the whole point of playing a 4-4-2. But Cole doesn't run overlaps enough, he stops at the halfway line and if the ball comes his way he attempts to dribble it into the middle of the park and then loses it. That's what I mean by him not being as good as he thinks he is. Overlaps become a thing of beauty when they are used along with high tempo one-touch passing. Cole stops, attempts to dribble and loses the ball over and over...

Plus the khazak goal wasn't because he was too far forward, it was scored because the England defence fell asleep. I have watched the goal numerous times and I can't see how it is any more Cole's fault than Ferdinand or Upson. Sure Cole made a **** up but the centre halves should have cleaaned that up with ease. If you watch it they had their hands in their pockets.

Agreed but Ferdinand is **** as well.

But the incident I was thinking about was on a forward run that ended before the final third because Cole decided that he was called Ronaldinho instead of Cashley and resulted in a Kazakh counter attack that would have been a certain opening goal (in the first few minutes of the second half) if it wasn't for atrocious finishing.

England are so pathetic, that they are making a meal out of Kazakhstan! that ****hole isn't even in Europe! Rio is ****, and Cole i ****. You admitted that much so you might as well admit the whole team is **** apart from one guy who has an Oirish surname. That is why you Anglais Chiennes will always be pathetic. Enjoy my new sig. Ciao.

Didn't France lose to Austria and just about scrape a draw against Romania? :lol1:

Yeah, but didn't they win a World Cup followed by winning Euro's and take the last final to the last penalty too? You chiennes can't even take pens, so don't even bother getting that far in life.

Which was how long ago?

Typical of you to go back in the past when things aren't going well for you now.

Past? WTF. We still have some of the players in squad from them feats. We heard that bull**** about qualification before, but we still get through. We are not ****ty ENGLAND and had a FRENCH coach!.

this is coming from a country that keeps going on about 66. Forget playing, are half of them mother****ers even alive?
