Wembley f.c "experiment"

[Herr Tubthumper]

I assume you have seen the Nivea TV advert? What do you think?

I have and I don't have an issue with that. But pulling on their boots god knows how many years and inches on the wasteline after they have retired to take part in a competitive game is a bit different. The Nivea ad is a bit of fun, 5 40 something ex-professionals heaving and puffing around a competitive football pitch in nylon is plain embarrassing.

If you have a problem with this i dont see why your blaming budwieser.

Ultimately its Wembly fc that are doing it....they could have just said no.

Not sure how I feel about this. Part if me thinks it could be interesting and a tad exciting. And another part if me thinks that it is a cynical advertising stunt, not content with just the F.A cup sponsorship. They sponsor a little team,who are in no possition to say no. Pay a load of dosh to greedy ex pros and make another long advert/docu about it.

Does anyone actually drink Budweiser? I am trying to think of a bar which I have seen this brand for sale and I cannot think of a single place.

No, because it's one of the vilest beers on the planet. I've only ever seen it sold in bottles in pubs. You cant buy it by the pint because nobody can handle more than a small bottle before vomiting.

It is or was sold through Scottish Courage distribution network to tied pubs of Enterprise chain as a premium lager and sold in draught in many pubs.

budvar all the way

All it means is that every non-league clogger in the opposing side is going to head straight out on to the pitch determined to teach the old pros a lesson about taking the piss, and they'll get hoofed all over the park. They'll probably still win, after all any ex professional is going to be still leagues above your average Tier 6 player, but they won't half get kicked along the way.

i reckon Keown and Parlour will be kicking right back.

very harsh. its not interesting enough to cause vomiting, its one of the blandest beers.

On tap in a couple of places in town but I've never been tempted to try the muck and don't think I remember ever seeing anyone try it either

There is a team in Sydney at a similar level which is basically made up of ex internationals in their forties. They win their comp every year, and usually are very good at getting out of the way of nasty tackles. But a friend who plays against them says that if they are winning easily, they are fine, but if you ever get close to beating them, they also know how to play hard and dirty better than any non-professionals. His team usually come second in that comp, and get absolute kicked to bits when they play the ex-pros.

Except Seaman. Was embarrassing by Serge Pizzorno of that famous football team KASABIAN a month back. Just lob him. Easy.

 

[Screaming J]

True. In fact, I just noticed the name Claudio Caniggia in that list above. This could end up like being a sort of Phoenix From The Flames (for those who remember Fantasy Football) recreation of the booting he got in Italia 90 from Massing of Cameroon

I remember that. The Argies were always a right bunch of dirty bastards - if somewhat more subtle about it - and it was a joy to watch them having to take it for a change

The fact that its made with a LOT of rice is enough to make some people very sick very quickly.

I dunno if it makes people sick when its cooked properly, but it seems to when its brewed.

Preliminary round game now live on ESPN. Cannigia and Ehiogu playing. Wembley 2-0 up.

 

[Worthingite]

Would be class if Worthing could draw them in the next round. That would be amazing, and would pack out Woodside!

 

[Falkor]

Love Lewes to get them but we got s tough draw against an inform side, but would proper pack the pan out like Worthing
