RIP SocratesThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Goal at around 0.45 in tells you everything you need to know. A ****ing Rolls Royce of a footballer. RIP

Is he the guy who joined that Non league team when he was 50?
RIPComment

He actually failed a trial with Shelbourne when he was a medical student in Dublin in the mid-70s. Apparently he ****ed about too much.

Yeah, a one-off game in 2004. Garforth Town.Originally posted by ElRabiosa View Post.
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

Sad news. RIP Dr Socrates.
He was a class act and my limited memories of him are from the 82 and 86 World Cups.
What an incredible team that 1982 Brazil was, still the greatest team I have ever seen.

Amazing footballer, the Brazil team from Spain 82 have to be the best team never to win the world cup, couldn't defend but boy could they play some outstanding attacking football and to top it off Socrates was a bona fide MD. RIP
