Before my time, mate. Just looked him up on Wiki. You'll have to explain the connection with saying “soccer”, I'm afraid. I just don't get it.

Just watched, for the umpteenth time, commemoratively, as it were, the 93:20 documentary, and that final hug between Hart and Clichy, and it doesn't matter how many times I see it, there'll always be tears in the corner of my eyes by the end.
They can do whatever the hell they like. We may win the case against the PL. We may lose it. We may have the 115 thrown out. Or not. They can relegate us to the Conference if they like.
They can never, ever, ever take that moment of pure ecstasy away from my life.

Remember my grandad and dad calling it soccer back in the 70s, they’d talk about soccer players or rugby players. Seems to have fallen out of use in England now and is associated with being american, but it wasn’t. Maybe still commonly used in Glasgow.Before my time, mate. Just looked him up on Wiki.

He conceded nine goals when playing for Scotland against England at Wembley in 1961. At the time, Scotland were highly competitive against England and, indeed, were only losing by 5-3 with 12 minutes to play. Haffey got most of the blame for the 9-3 defeat and never played for Scotland again.Before my time, mate. Just looked him up on Wiki.

This was the origin of the legend that Scottish goalkeers were rubbish.

Don't disagree but he's behind Kun and Merlin in the queueBe great to give him a testimonial. Play it at parkhead, would be a great day out and a good gesture

Never tire of watching any video to do with that game. I was there and never really knew what actually happened it was a blurr.
I watch them and always punch the air when Aguero scores the winner.
Undoubtedly the greatest moment in the whole history of football.

I always, always freeze in pure horror because I'm sure he's going to put it just to the right of the post.

Wonder if you know the extremely beautiful and moving video posted on Youtube by Mishka Henner, and featuring his dad? The title is Manchester City Champions 2012. The soundtrack to it is Cowboy Junkies' perfect version of Blue Moon.
You probably know it already. Anybody who doesn't should watch it. It says it all.
(Incidentally, they both feature in the 93:20 documentary, in the Fans part).

When I was at school we used both football and soccer. Never thought anything of it until we started to hear more about football from America when I was in my 20’s. Then they started saying soccer for our football and we said American football for theirs!Before my time, mate. Just looked him up on Wiki.

For me I’ll never forget the utterly surreal noise -I’ve never heard anything like it -the utter disbelief in the Stadium I suppose -not like a normal Goal Celebration -it was absolutely fantastic and never to be repeatedJust watched, for the umpteenth time, commemoratively, as it were, the 93:20 documentary, and that final hug between Hart and Clichy, and it doesn't matter how many times I see it, there'll always be tears in the corner of my eyes by the end.
