    The Gabor-Anhalt curse over the Hungarian national football team...

     

    Hungary played in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, where they were knocked out in the group stage. Two months later, Zsa Zsa married Frederic Prinz von Anhalt. Little did people know that the marriage would ignite a dark period in Hungarian football. For the next 30 years, Hungary was absent from all 14 (!) major international tournaments (World Cup & Euro Cup). Note that 14 is the date in August that the marriage took place.

     

    Sure, some of the blame could be placed on terrible performances and inadequate coaches, but I’m certain that the marriage has worked as a curse on the team.

     

    However, this all changed when they managed to qualify for the Euro 2016. This means that the curse will break and the marriage will dissolve (either through divorce or death of a spouse) prior to their first game against Austria.

     

    So, there’s a strong possibility that Zsa Zsa will pass away very, very soon.

    I have the same theory about the Scotland football team. They haven't qualified for a major tournament since the Scottish parliament was created in 1999.Coincidence or curse? Or just shitty players and managers ?

    You can't make sugar out of shite. I blame the top clubs for buying in foreign players instead of seeking out home grown talent.

     

    I agree, that is a major cause of the problem.They seem to be doing better these days though.I have high hopes for the next world cup ! Probably should get back to talking about Zsa Zsa Gabor though... :)

    that's weird because I just watched him in Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde the other day and wondered if he was still alive

    Actor Lewis Fiander apparently dead aged 78.

     

    He had a memorably eccentric role in Doctor Who's Nightmare of Eden, once seen, never forgotten.

    Hello. This is my very first post so I hope I'm the first to report this death, but I just found out the actor Paul McDowell has died aged 84. Some of you might remember him for playing the part of Mr Collinson in the tv series Porridge, which I loved ! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/05/20/paul-mcdowell-musician-and-actor--obituary/

     

    edit- just found out it was reported previously somewhere else. just published the obit today though
