I think I covered early season beer prices elsewhere on this forum, but happy to spend some of my weekend researching further

The footy shirt man in the market has some nice new England shirts on sale (he asked 35TL pre-haggling), the red ones without the collar and the white with. No names or numbers on the back, so quite subtle. Anyone wanting to wear their colours over the next month, either here in Kalkan or at home, may like to go and see him.

Thanks Eniste,

When we arrive in August they'll either be ten lira on one hundred and fifty!!

Lets hope for the latter!!

in Fethiye market last week, the Rooney no.10 shirts were going for a tenner....before the squad numbers were even announced! I know he ususally sports the number 10, but it was pretty good forward planning I'd say...and "cheaper than e-bay" they'd say

Can anyone whose in Kalkan at the moment tell me if the England match on 18 June will be shown on any Digiturk channels. We arrive about 8pm and my dad would like to watch it but at 91 doesn't have a lot of energy after a long day travelling and would like to sit on our sofa and watch it. Thanks

Here's a link to TRT1's very comprehensive coverage - as the local equivalent of BBC1, I would guess that this is part of the Digiturk package, so Dad should be spoilt for choice

If all else fails you can watch it on your laptop/pc on www.iraqgoals.com

I heard the mayor was banning all football shirt wearing over the next few weeks with the exception of Portsmouth as he appreciates class

Thanks very much Eniste and Misty. I think we have TRT1.

It's clearly those nasty Premiership patches he doesn't like

jamie-n-kimbo · « **Reply #111 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:46:16 PM »

Well it's all getting a bit exciting now!!! And tere's no Portsmouth player in the starting line up!!

I was speaking with the mayor just the other day and he thougth Portsmouth was a new type of Martini.... sweet little drink , but on the rocks!!!

I bet there were a few glasses of the Nigerian lager raised after Mexico doing the Frogs.

I bet...... the soap dodgers played like a bunch of old onion sellers

Always a great pleasure to see the French receiving a Mike Dickin.

Well weren't we pants.......even the Jocks might have beaten us tonight

tonik1945 · « **Reply #117 on:** June 19, 2010, 07:39:08 AM »

Or the french!

Well Ive taken a fews hours to consider last nights lame, passionless and inept display by our national team and I've made the following observations........

1. 4.4.2 formation does not suit Rooney, Lampard or Gerrard... Our three most important players from a goal scoring perspective.

2. Rooney needs to play as the centre forward if he wants to score goals and not search around the half way line looking for the ball... It's very rare that centre forwards score from the half way line!!!

3. Gerrard is a central midfielder who loves to break forward and score goals.... He is not a left winger!!!

4. Lampard is a central midfielder who also looks to pop up inside the box and score goals..... He is not a defensive midfielder!!

5. If Capello wants to play with a big striker choose one that can score goals.... suggest Crouch, not Heskey! Personally i wouldn't pick either in a starting line up!!

6. If Capello wants a left sided midfielder to create chances for his strikers then choose the only one he's taken to Africa. Joe Cole!!!

7. If things are not going well during a game change the system........ don't simply replace the personell 'like 4 like'!! Eg Wright Philips on for Lennon!!

8. If 4.4.2 isn't working try another formation that can accomodate the players in their best positions, Suggest 4.5.1 whick allows Lamps And the scouser to do what they do best with creative players on both flanks!!

There is still hope guys.... We would expect to beat Slovenia in any other circumstances. Remember Italia 90 which was Engalnds best World Cup in my 39yrs. We started off with two draws, the players mutinied and dear old Bobby had to change his planned formation. We beat Egypt to qualify for the last 16 and went onto the semi finals and could easily have won the tournament if Pearce and Waddle could score from the penalty spot!!

So there's still hope.......... It just doesn't feel like it today and let's face it...... At least we're not French!!!
