Altogether now, 'Fifty years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming'....

And the agony continues! Its now fifty years of hurt with no sign of a change in our fortunes anytime soon. I have yet to hear a single pundit who can put his finger on the reason why we are as poor as this at seemingly every tournament we enter. Qualifying isn't an issue, nor is playing friendlies against the best teams in the world, so why do we struggle so much at tournament time?

Hopefully I'll find time to expand on this topic in time to come , meanwhile a few pictures to remind us of how we did enjoy our time in France, despite the results...

This was in Marseille, on the steps of the cathedral which gave great views across the city....

Looking out across the city and the Med...

Looking north towards the stadium..

 The flag is always an attraction...

 

Having lunch in a sun drenched square, before the Russians decided to invite themselves....

Anybody fancy a boat trip? 

Nice stadium though, despite the lack of security and the emphasis on stopping people with flags. Smoke bombs, flares and other stuff is OK though...

Hopefully I can return to this blog and post other subjects and photos in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed..
