How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

I have always believed that being born in the country is the only qualification in all sports.

Bart, values can never be antiquated that is why they are values, I have no wish or need to move on.
Most sports include foreigners in their natational teams these days but it doesn't mean I have to agree with them. Footballers like Drogba and Essien get my utmost respect for continuing to represent the countries of their birth.
Likewise Yorke but not Barnes.
It won't be long before the England cricket team contains a majority of South African born players yet you think it is progress.

These are difficult questions! Your criterion would have meant that Colin Cowdrey could have only represented India! Do you feel that really is right? |

| Of course it is right if you wish maintain the rules, the example you use obviously makes the argument look foolish. I imagine his parents were in India at the time so if exceptions were being made then that is where you would start. However in less mercenary times Cowdrey played for England for the right reasons as opposed to the current crop.
I remember Denis Law making sure is wife was in Scotland when she was due to deliver.  |

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh.  [/quote:1xb0p6sn]
[quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg |

I know it seems longer ago but it was the 1980's when Firs closed. I think it was 1983 when the doors shut and 1985 when it was demolished. |

They weren't doing Maternity when I was born in 1982. |

Bolton by birth,
Irish by blood,
LEYTHER by heart and soul!!
[quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3]
[quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people.
As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

Best strike all Linford Christie's medals off the British lists!!
And Michael Owen will need to be removed from the England goal scoring charts.....
There are no doubt loads more British sports stars who's efforts, and achievments will need expunging from the record books.....or re-classifying to their countries of origin!! |

As regards Michael Owen, has Chester moved? |

Brad Fitler "If the ref's decision decides your game. You haven't done enough prior."
Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

Better scratch all Dessie's tries for GB as well
