Andy, I don't have a problem with you. You seem to be fairly reasonable, unlike some who are trying to be sarky re. where I live in relation to the team I have followed all my life. I didn't pick up on the Cowboys/Indians thing. I apologise to you if I have upset you. Gridiron fans obviously have a different outlook re. rivalries to us.andy h said:Jim,
Maybe derby is the wrong term I used. Every NFL team has an intense rivalry with another usually baed on them being in the same four team division. For the Redskins it is the Cowboys. It is every bit as intense as City and the scum.
At 10 years old? Behave! Number 198, just past Broadfield Road as you're heading towards Princess Road. You might run it in two minutes; you won't walk it in much less than 5, guaranteed. Specially with short 10 yr old legs!!!merlot somme said:Jim, if you were taking 5 minutes to get from Claremont Rd to maine Rd you must have been stopping off in at least two pubs.

Great to see that the skins have beaten "america's team" in the last ever derby at texas stadium.
Ha ha ha ha.
Zorn seems to be doing a good job, maybe it's our year to get back to the superbowl.
Fingers crossed!alib said:andy h said:I just read on the Redskins website that the cowboys are moving to a new stadium next season.

I was dismayed when Zorn got the job - however he seems to have got the West Coast Offense working and IF we stay clear of injuries we are as good as anyone in the NFL and could get to the Superbowl - however playing in the toughest division and having to play the Giants , Cowpats and Eagles twice each every season is hard work
What's the problem?jimharri said:Odd there's been no reply from BT to my earlier post. He was quick enough getting in the dig about how far Ireland is from Manchester.
You having the pop at me supporting City whilst living in Ireland. Or am I reading it wrong? I never questioned why fans of Dallas or Washington are fans of them. I just questioned why two sides over 1300 miles apart are classed as derby rivals (read my earlier post). If I am wrong, I have no problem apologising. However, if I am wrong, what is the relevance of your remark ("How far is Ireland from Manchester?") to the debate re. derby matches?Banned Tosspot said:What's the problem?jimharri said:Odd there's been no reply from BT to my earlier post.
