Having watched and enjoyed ( mostly ) football for 6 decades , I am pleasantly astonished that the ''great intellects'' that comprise the football family still manage to come up with comedy gold when discussing the game .
I mentioned on another thread the legend ( or blimp ) that is BFDJ had said that the system used by EBT against Israel was fine , ''...it was just that the players didn't know what to do .''
This had me recalling some of the quotes from various decades of football that have had me in stitches . Members on here will no doubt have better memories than me but here are a couple of my favourites :
The passing of John Lambie recently brought to mind his memorable aid to coaching : A Thistle player went down with a head knock - the physio ran over to Lambie and told him the player was concussed and didn't know who he was . ''Tell him he's f***ing Pele and get him back on ! '' shouted Lambie .
The late Ron Atkinson ( of various clubs ) once remarked after a defeat : '' I make a habit of not criticising referees and I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat !''
