- Just another point to ponder in support of Dave on this issue. Last night's
- Question Of Sport featured Gary McAllister and last weeks featured Gordon
- Stachan. Coincidence that Leeds were playing Rangers in the European Cup
- while they were being recorded. However, David Coleman never got his chance
- to introduce Strachan and McAllister as members of the victorious Leeds team.
- And what about the competition, cricket! I'm sure the vast majority of the
- rest of the UK apart from England wouldn't have a Scooby about the answer.
-
- C'mon Turkey!
-
- PS. Dave, don't slag the cricket off too much, I enjoy watching it.....
