Please not Howe.
No problem with him but I don’t want to have to keep looking at his perma tanned assistant every time the camera pans to the bench.

I think you wanted to finish that post off with something like… Thanks Up the Duff, for keeping up the numbers for listeners with 3 figure IQ’s.. 😉 🤣🤣 🤔🤔 🤔🤔 |

I personally don't think you should even be allowed a foreign coach. I appreciate why 'developing' countries used to, but reckon it should now be a blanket ban, with manager's having to meet the same residency/nationality criteria as players. Quite like that in principle. Could see it being challenged legally as you are employed rather than picked. In fact that's a whole new can of worms. |

Lee Carsley is in hot water already by saying he won't be singing the national anthem, Carsley who was born in England but represented Republic of Ireland as a footballer told the media he will be 'too busy concentrating on the match'........Maybe just hum it then Lee.

I'd have thought not singing the anthem would be a surefire way of clinching the job. Two Tier Kier would probably ban it if he thought he'd get away with it. |

Don't think it matters at all whether he sings the anthem or not, regardless of reason.
Doesn't make a difference to anything, doesn't change anything, doesn't matter at all

In recent times, many players just stand there and don't sing it.
If that's what Carsley wants to do then so be it.
Media hyping up something that won't have any significance on performance and game.

I am not singing the national anthem, I dont know who is more pathetic the idiot refusing to sing or the clowns who picked the idiot. I think the national anthem is terrible and I prefer a foreign manager they seem better and more motivated but stick your stupid politics where the sun doesnt shine its England team you fool.

I would guess the ones getting their red white and blue boxer shorts in a twist over this, calling it a lack of respect, are the same people that boo the opposition anthem.

Does any other national team have 'issues' with players and managers not singing the anthem. Most I see, sing their arses off or have their hand on their heart etc etc.. May be old fashioned and now very, un English to do so, but there again being English is not fashionable. Its being trialled in the USA to forget or ignore where you are from or actually live, the backlash wont be good either. |

That half by England is what you call a well earned 2-0 score line. England on top playing the better football, more controlled passing with passes reaching their target and clinical finishing. This is how you would expect Town to perform if they were 2-0 up.

How can that not be a penalty? Held Maguire the whole time from the ball being kicked and at no point was looking at the ball

They have always done that.In the 70s no one sang it including the fans. No one gave a fuck until recently. I can be perfectly patriotic without being forced to sing about God. In fact who gives a fuck anyway, it's utter shit. |

The Marsellaise is bloodthirsty and outdated but equality, fraternity and liberty are still kind of worth singing about, especially wrapped up on a rousing tune. |

He has never sung the Irish or English national anthem. Presumably the likes of Jason Burt or Jeff Powell didn’t watch the Under 21s to notice . Just gives people something to make a fuss about or poke a stick at if he doesn’t do well . Almost be worse if he did sing the anthem just to appease people- get accused of being fake and insincere. |

If its just 'a job' and he has 'issues' with the anthem, perhaps a plain tracksuit might be appropriate, no badges and he is removed from team photos etc and the money 'pool' for advertising etc?? International football sort of hinges on the Nation bit? |

Carslwy ain’t gonna sing that shite just like Capello didn’t and many more before him didn’t either. Facts are that first half was more entertaining than any of Southgate’s Euro matches which were all awful to watch. Carsley should get the job. It’s about winning football matches & playing good football not creating headlines for the daily fucking express.
