Tomb raider 9 Posted October 28, 2005 I think we're deep into injury time here and the ref's looking at his watch. Looks like we may have a period of extra-time . . . And even a replay (more booze) Don't despair too soon: the ref might be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millwall32 105 Posted October 28, 2005 Can someone tell me exactly how one "fights" for one's life? It might be useful if I ever have a serious illness. Well I remember the poem, "Do not go gently into that dark night, but rage, rage against the dying of the light." (Larkin? Blake? ) Although it doesn't sound as if he's doing much raging. Dylan Thomas I beleive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted October 28, 2005 "The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." - George Best, 2005 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest_Grim_Rita Posted October 28, 2005 Anyone seen the film Best? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 273 Posted October 28, 2005 This one? No. It bombed, I see. maybe they should've got Robbie Williams in the title role. He likes his footie, and he might have had the chutzpah to carry it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 9,989 Posted October 28, 2005 'Best' was - it must be said - a sorry excuse for a film. Did no justice to his footballing skill and less to the man himself since the main performance was so lacking in charisma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 76 Posted October 28, 2005 I've never seen the film but I'll be looking out for it now...Roger Daltrey as Rodney Marsh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 76 Posted October 28, 2005 I've never seen the film but I'll be looking out for it now...Roger Daltrey as Rodney Marsh! Presumably so you can keep on avoiding it. Nope, I do actually want to see it. It has to be a candidate for 'Worst Waste of Lottery Funding to the British Film Council' Award. Although it may have some competition... 'Janice Beard 45wpm anyone? Thought not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest iain Posted October 28, 2005 to be honest i think i was a bit too positive earleir on when i said he was improving.Its clear hes still gravely ill with just a small chance of pulling through.Sorry if i raised anyones hopes of him recovering prematurely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charley Farley 1 Posted October 29, 2005 Dont have a lot of time for this guy as he's more famous for being a drunk than he ever was for being a footballer BUT, when he retired from football aged 27 he went to play for Barry Fry at Dunstable whose gates were 2000 or so on the first game he played over 23000 turned up and Dunstable ground to a halt. In this weeks 442 mag he picks his all time eleven and lo and behold he has chosen the best player to my mind who was the late great "Slim Jim Baxter" Think it time to go now George!

Soul Dracula 2 Posted October 29, 2005 Dont have a lot of time for this guy as he's more famous for being a drunk than he ever was for being a footballer Tsk! Tsk! Without doubt one of the Greatest Footballers ever, as those who were able to see him play will testify to, or just watch the videos now, absolute class. But I have little sympathy for him post-football. A bad drunk, liver transplant, another chance at life and he still pi**ed it all away. Whatever, thanks for the great memories and being the legend you are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 273 Posted October 30, 2005 He would have had to be, at 56 years old playing a footballer in his 20s. The make-up people can't do miracles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goodnight Vienna 2 Posted October 30, 2005 Think our Georgie boy is gonna last a bit longer as all the alchohol is preserving him..... Hanging on in there, deteriorating fast, getting better, taking a turn for the worst, on the road to recovery, his health is like the arm of the barmaid pulling his pint! He was a good footballer, he had money and he did what he wanted with it, but for all you children out there...... "Drinking seriously can damage your health" It's debatable whether he will last til the end of the year! VIENNA xxxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted October 30, 2005 If he does manage it, then he's got to be a dead cert (no pun intended) for next year's list. Surely not all that preservative can keep him going that long! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
