That would suggest that you used to see the European cup in man city’s trophy room, which is incorrect
Don’t be so defensive, I’m a Celtic fan
They’ve lost to some sh*te teams recently and it’s no longer a tough place to go

Why hello Cissie pet! How are you?  Just hold on a second some men are asking me questions here at the press conference.

Haway man I'm on the phone! Hurry up!




The one he was ont he phone was when we qualified for USA 94 and the press conference was done in Dublin airport I believe.  Not sure what the whole phone thing was about.  I always presumed he was on the phone to reporters in England or summink.

I miss the aul commentary down a dodgy phone line from eastern europe

Yeah the Road to America footage.

They also showed the likes of Peter Byrne in the press area in Seville speaking slowly back to HQ to get his piece in for the following morning. "In what looked like a perfectly fine goal comma the linesman ruled it offside period"

Re the last category....Burnley ? They have the odd pesky foreigner like Vydra but have I think put out first elevens of "local" people. Very last millennium. You still get the odd bald white boy ( eg Jonjo Shelvey ) as well as the less obvious version of same ( Anthony Stokes, Wayne Rooney, Leigh Griffiths, etc).

Big 9 little 10 combo up front
 
442 being the standard formation with wingers whipping in crosses
 
Actual fans as opposed to consumers of globalised brands attending games (when one could attend games)
 
Hooliganism
 
Hard men
 
Umbro/Pony kits
 
Teams sponsored by local/national as opposed to multi national brands
 
Bovril (at least less so)
 
The Cup being treated as a serious competition by all teams
 
MOTD being a must watch show 
 
Millionaires buying big clubs (billionaires club now)
 
Mucky pitches with the goal mouth permanently devoid of grass
 
Terrace stands
 
A foreign signing being seen as a risk/unusual/being a major talking point
 
When you knew the valuation of a player (valuations make no sense now)
 
Big Ron
