One other failure at this World Cup............................

[10ClarionSt]

..................has been the panelists. What a load of old cobblers! Every one of them is useless. None of them ever did anything in a World Cup tournament. Alan Hindsight never even made it to the finals when Scotland qualified. Shearer, Dixon, Waddle, Butcher et.al. are all banging on about the poor performance of England. Well, they should know shouldn't they? Cos they were crap when they went to the finals. What did any of them ever do? Fk all. And they've got the hard brass neck to sit there taking their nice money for telling us what we already know - that this England team are as bad as the ones that they all played in. It's about time we saw the end of these so-called experts and just let us watch the games without the hot air to follow. Get rid of the panelists and just give us football.

I like the experts, they bounce nicely off each other, when they are not exposing themselves in public that is.. :)

cazzz... got proof?

[cazzz1975]

will my solemn word do?

[Gromit]

Totally agree. Also, why is there always a Scottish one? Hanson, Andy Gray, probably the least qualified than most ex-know it all ex-players.

that is subject to confimation from jackthehat I think clarion :)

Not the Alan Hansen 'story' again!.
If the alleged 'flashing' article is in the archives of that paper I'd have thought someone could easily take a copy, scan it and post it on the net. But no-one has.

What is this "mystery" surrounding Alan Hanson, have read snippets and posts from AB but still don't know what it is all about! Please enlighten me!

[cazzz1975]

well lets not get her in a bad mood then, we will just gently nag her for the evidence

[Captin Kirk]

Do you have to listen to the pundits during the 45 minutes of each half? ... No so enjoy the match and switch off when they start if you don't like them.

hanson is a legend, a stripping legend

There are several postings about this alleged offence on AB (just do an AB search on Alan Hansen) - for example http://www.theanswerb...k/Question541081.html

Does your TV remote need new batteries...?

... but we have never been given any evidence other than 'It's in the archives of the Blackpool Gazette" Has anyone else seen the alleged article in the archives? Is it definitely teh same Alan Hansen?
