Soccer Aid for Unicef - England v World XI

[1964white]

Kem makes it 2-2

Robbie Keane hits the post to deny the World XI the lead

[1964white]

When I'm on my bike (which is rare) I wish they would ban motorists...
When im in my car I wish they would ban cyclists....

[1964white]

How many time do you attempt to run a motorist off the road?

I had 4 today that skimmed me, one was that close I broke his/her mirror

I always indicate & give plenty of space to cyclists when passing them.

England can't even win this tournament.

Penalty shoot-out

World XI win 4-1 (three atrocious pens)

And they got the MOTM wrong.

Some cyclists on main roads can be a nuisance. Not to mention dangerous. No signalling, just pull over in front and expect the car driver to be clairvoyant. They are not as a courteous road user as you appear to be, Velo. You cannot speak for all cyclists or all motorists.

As do I try to do 64. On our very narrow country lanes (very narrow as you can testify Leon), if a cyclist or jogger, who I find to be as much of a nuisance as a cyclist is coming towards me I stop my car and allow them to pass me in their own time and space without having to negotiate a moving vehicle....
I'm more than happy to do that but get annoyed when cyclists hog the road, don't give a dam and won't let me pass safely.

To be fair it was all good fun. I loved the fact that Vickie McLure and Robbie Williams not to mention Harry Redknapp were so hyped up on the touchline, it really meant a lot to everyone. I really enjoyed it

I thought Robbie was brilliant at half time by the way...

If England had Jane McDonut in goal they would have won......

there would not have been room for the ball to get past her

Same problem here on our narrow country lanes, very dangerous hogging the whole road especially on blind bends.

The kids riding the bikes are the worst, a few weeks ago when I was returning home about 9.30pm, four of them across the lane, two of them reading their mobiles with no lights on their bikes......crazy!

I enjoyed the game too, Swannie.

Noah Beck playing for the World XI was easily the MOTM.

You should have seen the size of the World XI substitute goalie, he was huge.

He frightened the life out of an oncoming English forward when he came out of his box at snail pace to clear his lines, the funniest moment of the game, imo

Exactly Swannie, we all tend to generalise groups, there are some proper knob heads that ride bike, I don't class them as cyclists, they are simply twat that ride bikes, I was having the same conversation with a mate of mine, he lives in Surrey, neither of us ride with anyone else as the standard of riding nowadays is appalling, I guess we are just GOF's
