Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

I just got back from school. I just tried Five Live and it is on to follow. It may cut off but so far there is live commentary.
England have been hopeless so far.

Hey, Dave. I'm down in Gville. I've been following the match off and on via the Internet. Sounds pretty lackluster at the moment. We'll need to pick it up in the second half. Still, some good results in the other matches today, particularly the 0-0 draw for Russia and Croatia, the strongest opponents in the group.

I'm about to head into my stats class - will check in with you lot later.

Germany 7-0 up at the half to San Marino. Northern Ireland hanging in there at 1-1 with Spain at Lansdowne.

Keep on keeping on, Dave. Good to know that someone's keeping the LOB fires burning.

How can they lose at home to Iceland and then do this to Spain?
What a waste of a result

Whew is right! But what about Crouchie? What a hero, eh? I believe that's eleven goals in ten games for the lad - incredible.

This is the sort of game that Sven's team eked out results in too and it's good to see that England under Macca have that mettle to scrap out an ugly 1-0 win when they aren't playing well. It used to be Owen we turned to for those goals - now it's a 6'7" freak of nature. Who would've thought!

Nice ones for the Scots, Norn Ireland and zee Germans.

Bob, be worried!!! All of the talk on 606 is why isn't Healy in the Prem!!!
By the way, when he was United younster I thought he was an untouchable kid and then all of a sudden he was sent off to Preston.
You probably only have him for a few months more.

Did you notice that the German game is being replayed at 11pm? They'll be up 7 by the time I've finished brushing me teeth.

What, me worry? Listen I have no illusions about the Leeds. We've got an excellent youth academy program and we're a selling club. He'll be off in January, no doubt. I'm just surprised that no one came in for him this summer.
