Well its England's second match in the 2010 World cup against Algeria the Town(Bridlington) is buzzing supporters going to the pub to watch the match, me and the lads opt for Greyhound its heaving we cant get close to the big screen but end up near a smaller tv, from the start i felt disappointed our players lack passion and looked like they could not be bothered to even sing our national anthem once the game started Algeria always looked like they wanted this game more than us, we created chances but for some strange reason players who would normally smash the ball into the back of the net felt the need to try and make that extra pass it was such an awful game to watch. i have to admit i honestly thought Algeria were going to nick a goal. The England fans actually over powered the horrible Vuvuzela's when they started to boo the England players, Key players like Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard had no impact what so ever. Once the final whistle went i was kind of relieved that we held on for a point but still very disappointed that we did not get the win. finally when the players were leaving the pitch Wayne Rooney made a comment to the camera saying "nice to see your own fans booing" well my view on that is our team did not perform and these supporters have paid a lot of money to go to this World cup and they had every right to boo when our team was so s**t. roll on Wednesday and fingers crossed our boys can pull off a result in this must win game.

one of my highlights supporting Brid Town
They say revenge is sweet and this time is was, the previous week we were robbed by a dubious penalty decision and we lost 2-1 to Boro my mates both Boro fans gave me a very hard time, the week after we totally out classed Scarborough by knocking them out of the FA Vase 5-2. as for my two mates i did not say a word i just gave them the biggest grin as i could see they were gutted
Pancake day massacre
Although its a fixture you always want to win if you asked me before the game i think i would be happy to get a draw, simply because i cant bare the thought of losing to them but on this night and although we did not play that well a second half Pancake day massacre happened and we destroyed Scarborough 5-0 apparantly this is their record defeat its another game that will stick in the mind for a very long time and i thank you for such a sweet memory
