The Doc Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Tommy to be captain, is this correct? Its obvious that because he's playing against his home country he is bound to be given that honour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc seattle Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I suppose I'd love for Docs to have the game of his life (replacing the Spain game) and having his value sky-rocket. He'll be my favorite player on the pitch regardless of what team I'm supporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then i'll only have eyes for the players in white shirts. Reckon our Tommy might be particularly irksome as an opposition player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I just watched a video of an old Harry Enfield show where he did a very funny sketch featuring a game between the Arsenal team of the 1930's versus the 1991 Liverpool team, played in glorious black and white. The Arsenal team's warm up focused around the copious consumption of pies, beer and fags. I thought of Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucksred Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Doubt Doc, could catch any of those players, and certainly not after 70 minutes Unless they have his woodbines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grainy black and white, Pathe style footage with 20 players running around in a pack after the ball - top stuff. Made I larf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait, biggest game we've had for near 20 years. Sure you might put five past us, maybe even more, but ones things for sure every man in green will give everything and thats all we can ask for them and you never no we might just sneak a 0-0. As for Tommy there is a 50/50 chance he'll start- Johnson and Davis are definate starters so its between him and Jeff Whiley for the 3rd place in mid-field. Really hope its Tommy thou.Watch out for the Green And White Army in the stands- we've got 15000 green ballons and 6000 flags planned, its going to look amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I wish you luck of the Irish but can't see anything other than a comfortable England win regardless of TD playing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swindlered Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well win, lose or draw its a great opportunity for Mr Doherty to parade his beard in front of the nation. After the success of the Beckham mohican I shall look forward to seeing this nations pre-teens emulate their new style idol, Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brum Red Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'll be supporting TD all the way. Even if he has an absolute blinder i'd be surprised if it had any real effect on the result.COME ON THE DOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales From The Front Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Well I stood up in the top tier of ther Stretford End to clap him when he was subbed.It was definately a club V country thing. Delighted England won mind you, but equally delighted that City had a player represented in such a big game. Might be some time happening again, let's hope not to long.Also fair play to the Northern Ireland fans...great songs. Personal favourite a song about Healy taken from Away in a manger..... the little lord jesus...he...lay, who ever thought of that!On the topic of great songs had the pleasure to make the aquantence of the City fan who got the Dolman singing with his cider submarine song on the train coming back from the Cheltenham gold cup. The bloke lives in Manchester and comes back for the games. He didn't have a ticket for the Torquay game but was hoping to get one. I certainly hope he did... the bloke is a legend!
