Ring-ins in WC99

While the English have long been ace rule manipulators in getting
foreign nationals qualified to play for England ("sooo your
grandfather once had a fortnight holiday in London eh. You're in".)
I'm very disappointed to see the emerging Zimbabwe doing the same. How
can an Irishman called O'longa have any claim to be Zimbabwean?

And his***name is Henry!! What a gyp, that the Zimbabweans have to pull
this sort of stunt.

AND they've got a guy whom they call "Pommie" in the team. I dunno - it's
all terribly sad.

Have a good one,

Mic. (Return address will work as is...)

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

Clearly an Aussie... he drank some beer once.

God's I've been around here too long. I was seriously wondering who could be
such an idiot until I looked at the name of the poster and realised.

That didn't come out quite the way I meant it.... <g>

What I meant was (of course) that alvey is obviously only joking here but for
some other posters I wouldn't be sure.
