Oh my word. Here it is. The full minute and a bit that led to me and a load of pissed mates trying to copy Gazza’s goal on Blackpool beach with a 20p fly away ball. We never managed to.

[Richard Chamberlain @ricardo_chambo]

60 seconds that changed an entire tournament.

McAllister.
Seaman.
@DarrenAnderton’s pass.
And then… Gazza.
The loudest roar Wembley has ever heard?

Where were you during that mad minute?

@justin_bighead By constantly expanding the World Cup Finals, FIFA have diluted the quality and effectively killed the Goose that laid the Golden Egg

And, God help us, they intent to have 64 Nations at the 2030 Finals

The very best FIFA World Cup Finals only had 16 Teams

@AGroundsss From the press release with DCs comments it sounds like family time is what he wants.

That, above anything else, is important.

He goes with the blessing of most I’d imagine for an incredible 4 and a half years.

@ChallinorKate @SCFCSuppCoop Just be sure to let us know if ever you’re all popping along to EP. See you all again xxXx

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

With eternal thanks 💙

@rhiannonjayne02 @StockportCounty Did you read it??

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

Best bit about this - the euro 96 national anthem. Paul Young’s mic not working reminding us all that national anthem singers just are not needed.

[Lagboat. @LagboatUK1]

Politics was for boring toffs, hundreds of thousands crammed into fields to hear British guitar bands, your big clubs were like the ones in Ibiza, football was passionate, Christmas felt like something out of a Hollywood film, People had character & were patriotic.

[Josh Norris @JoshNorris]

This is the context missing in the “how could the ref blow the whistle as Saka set up to take the corner?”

It was completely within his right, and Arsenal showed zero urgency ahead of it

Three players touched the ball before this throw in. Nearly 40 seconds spent.

Then Saka takes another 35 seconds walking to the corner after this action. No rush despite all of the defenders already being in place

The 6 minutes were up by 20 seconds. Blame the players, not the ref

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

@dave_philbin @SCFCConnorG That’s as maybe, but online prittle prattle about “he’s gone” “Joe bloggs or Jack bliggs to take over” proves nothing as nobody can say 100% that they know. Except for the owner, the manager and perhaps DOF.

He deserves more imo.

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

@dave_philbin @SCFCConnorG There’s talking about it and then there is saying he’s gone without anyone really knowing the yes or the no.

It’s disrespectful in my opinion.

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

@mrbenjitaylor @nrmillington @LiamR_SCFC26 A previous life for me my friend 💙. If the two SCFC’s were to ever meet now, my feet would be firmly in the blue camp, as they will be until my day is done x

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

“Your heart goes out to Gabriel.”

It really doesn’t mate. Karma for the season 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

@mrbenjitaylor @nrmillington @LiamR_SCFC26 Sorry mucka. You know my thoughts on AFC. Not sure I’d use the word vile, but they’re really not a pleasant watch and as for MA dancing around on the touchline for 120mins, it just adds to the fire x

[𝑨 @UtdAbzy]

Don’t let anyone convince you into feeling sorry for this guy. No one deserved it more 👍

[Dave Thompson @countythomo]

@LiamR_SCFC26 I’d have been the same. We toon the roof off in our gaff when he missed.

Awful side to watch. Feel for Benji like but hey go.

Bet you’ve been mithered to death in there tonight 😂

@Keir_Starmer “Dreams Can’t come true”… Gabriel….
