Italia 90 Nostalgia thread

Shocking.

Cascarino , the most Italian name on the pitch ffs , the rugby haters loved him then . Not a word of protest for been duped

Was it Aldridge lost the ball and then someone made a pitiful attempt at a tackle before it, on giannini? He should have been cleaned out. And the Bonner made a complete balls of Donadonis shot. He could have caught the fucking thing

A free kick off the training ground there.

Long time since Rome saw that stadium full . Flags colour singing , was unreal .

Bonner was quare average.

To be fair the shot swerved viciously and his footing was unstable . Now the shot from Win Jonk 4 years later - there was a clanger

The English rugby team are the best bet to fill that stadium these times

He has a fair few clangers in his locker

The back pass rule going was what done for him . Brady dropped him at Celtic around that time .

He wasn’t too hot before that either. Was well protected at all times.

He was a decent keeper .

Apparently he was unbelievable against England in 1988? I saw him make a standard enough save from Lineker and that appeared to be the highlight.

He was steeped that day but made one or two decent stops all the same. England lost the run of themselves though and butchered Chance after chance. One of those days. He built a legend on it and good luck to him.

He thumped the ball up the pitch like Jack wanted.

He made loads of saves but a few were the hit off him variety. He did make a very important penalty save one time. He’d guessed right for all the previous ones too.

Go long and go often. None of your fancy shit. Ignore that world class midfielder or two you have there.

The grit of the teeth, the flagging of the hand to go long and then booted the leather off it.

That’s fair enough. But he shouldn’t have been near the 1994 World Cup starting team. Jack could rely on him doing what he told him though.

Who was the sub that time Alan Kelly?
