We as a team did support our teammate and we were wrong.
I apologised to Patrice on tv years ago, which then prompted Liverpool to send him a letter also apologising which was the right thing to do.
Your reaction to my slight criticism saying you & Rio are in bed with Ronaldo so it clouds your judgement when speaking about him is embarrassing. You batter people every day, when it’s the other way you storm out of a tv studio or get personal. All to get another interview you sycophant.
For the love of god erect revetments on the Lossiemouth apron next.
PLEASE.
Do at least SOMETHING to reduce vulnerability of critical P-8s and E-7s now rather than regret it later.
Lossiemough (especially, not exclusively) would keep me awake at night if i was UK'd SofS.

Cape Verde was a great story. Truly great. But 2 weeks after, football doesn't give a fuck, less so after 1, 2 or 4 years.
If Mauritius, Mozambique, Mali do the same, great, but for 99% of fans, 99% of the time, across the world, nobody cares.
If France, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal boycott a World Cup, it's automatically invalid. It's just the truth.
Likewise, a club World Cup without any of Europe's top 25 clubs is invalid. Nobody is watching Inter Miami v Boca Juniors except in markets that simply don't generate revenue or global interest.
UEFA should immediately take over global law making ( UEFA replace FIFA 4 votes in a new IFAB with the 4 home nations continuing holding the other 4 votes).
Europe has paid football's bills for 150 years. It does not need to vote for a man in an island of 100,000 to hold the game to random because FIFA are giving him 20 mil.
I'm half English, half Barbadian. One has paid its football dues, the other hasn't, so the other cannot and must not hold the balance of power.
When two thirds of football nations fill their stadiums, support grassroots football, create a pyramid, have women's teams, find kids, then their vote is equal to a European powerhouse.
Not a day before.
Time for UEFA to secede from FIFA
FIFA needs UEFA. UEFA doesn't need FIFA.
Time for UEFA to set up their own World Cup. Invite the top 8 South American nations & the top 4 Asian + African nations and go back to 32 teams & 1 country hosting.
This could be a positive thing for football if handled properly.
