SimonM Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 >>I'd like to pay a small tribute to the Sheffield legend Derek Dooley. I can remember reading about him when I was a kid >>and his playing career was already long over. <<I heard about this whilst away in Miami on holiday and would like to endorse every word. Dooley's football career was over long before I knew there even was such a sport. But once around 1960 my family was sat in Coles' Restaurant in the centre of Sheffield (the orginal store opposite the cathedral, to those familair with the city) when my father nudged my mother and, indicating a smiling and clearly well=regarded man who had just entered, said "There's Derek Dooley". My mother looked on in awe - neither she nor my father ever knew the first thing about football. I piped up "who is he?!" - and was given the story. I was puzzled as this guy seemed to have both legs intact and I suppose I expected a Long John Silver-type wooden leg. And it was years before I could work out how playing football could lead to a leg amputation...Dooley of course played for and then managed the "wrong" Sheffield Club - the one that sacked him on Christmas Eve one year. I am bound to say though that, although he was eventually more involved with the right Sheffield club, he really belonged to the whole city for over half a century, or even to South Yorkshire, given the respectful silent tribute before the FA Cup game at Oakwell today and the inspired way Barnsley saw off some London team or other...

Keef Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I feel a lou better about Liverpool's exit to Barnsley now! And speaking of The Pool, another good result yesterday, lets hope we carry it in to Milan! Starting to feel sorry for Newcastle... Relegation battle awaits.

Annasfield Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have been up to Anfield four times this season, witnessed 14 goals, a Torres hat-trick and watched only one get passed Reina.:)) Beginning to think I bring them good luck. ;-)What a great day, Utd out the FA Cup, Chelsea out too and was witness to 3 fantastic goals at Anfield. Here's to the toffees dropping 3 points this arvo. Come on you Black Cats :)-D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/87/#findComment-85913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

atila the gooner Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 FA TO INVESTIGATE FERGUSON COMMENTS FOLLOWING DEFEAT TO PORTSMOUTH - sour grapes from fergusmoan, no surprise there then. Everything about him is repellant. I was shocked that Man Ure didn't get a pen yesterday because they usually do. Even though they should have had one yesterday, we all know that decisions sometimes go for you sometimes they don't, what is that mans problem, apart from the fact that he is a tw*t.

???? Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I've never yet heard a non-West Ham fan who has any real understanding about the whole affair; they just spout West Ham fielded an illegible player WRONG....this case was without precedent and is a bit more complex than hearsay rubbish Blades and most other teams fans realise.Infact, I think if West Ham had gone down they'd have sued to get their ?5 million fine back.By the way, just to clarify Sheffield United went down 'cos they didn't get enough points over 38 games and that is afacto-fucking-mundo which they won't have...

ratty Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Some united fans are saying that they want the courts to demand a replay of the game. THE COURTS!!! Oh my god and they wonder why they are universally hated!

atila the gooner Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Steady on ratty, I didn't realise Pompey fans were anti Arsenal. We've always got on with Pompey fans especially after your fans applauded Henry off the pitch a few seasons ago when we beat you in the FA cup. I only expect such reactions from Spurs, Man Ure, or Lokomotiv Fulham fans.

I just cannot stand Wenger personally who is nearly (only nearly though) as much of a whinge as SAF! However, I really do admire Arsenal's side who are pure pure class at the moment! Anyway, Pompey are really Arsenal on Sea so I guess I cannot dislike them too much!Anyway, there is now only one Prem club left in the cup. Could it really be Pompey's year? TBH we have played fairly poorly in all the games so far and PNE should have beaten us so we will not be taking anything for granted against any championship side!!!http://beefbagel.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/john-portsmouth-football-club-westwood.jpgJohn'll be pleased today!!!!

atila the gooner Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Crap result at the weekend. Can't complain about the pitch, which is not a valid point. We are a better team than Wigan and should have been able to see Wigan off but we didn't. Jesus, we know how to make life hard for ourselves!!!

Jah Lush Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Great result for Spurs. What the hell is happening at West Ham? 12 goals conceded in three games is inexcusable. I wouldn't be blowing to many bubbles if I was a Hammers fan at the moment.
