On That Manchester United v Liverpool RivalryBy Trevor BideMark Nevin was the son of two Liverpool supporting parents and furthermore went to primary school about 12 miles away from Liverpool, where 9 out of 10 supported Liverpool and that included the school teachers. During this period of time Liverpool were winning everything and conquering all before them.Ten years later Mark went on to the University of Liverpool to study for his degree and Liverpool were still winning everything. You would have thought that Mark would have been a very happy and lucky man, but unfortunately that was not the case. You see Mark Nevin was a massive Manchester United supporter... Shock...HorrorThis is not a book about Mark Nevin himself as such, but his recollections of growing up in the middle of the two biggest clubs in England who believed in totally different things.For me the book was easy to follow and the memories well ingrained in my mind. I was one of that breed of older United fans who had been through the pain barrier of Liverpool winning everything. I had been through having to settle for the odd F.A Cup final and even on occasions winning a few, but there was no league title. However unlike Mark Nevin I had not been a United fan living in the middle of massive Liverpool support.The author talks about how tall he felt in school on the Monday after the Jimmy Greenhoff goal (the goal Jim knew little about), had won United the cup in 1977 against Liverpool. He talks about how and when the rivalry was born.He remembers that superb Docherty side of 1976 - 77 comparing it to Johan Cruyff and Punk Rock for individual spirit. The author looks at music and especially the Manchester music scene. Whilst he was watching United and bands like The Fall, Joy Division and later the Buzzcocks I was watching United and falling out of The Clash, Stranglers, Damned and Ramones concerts after some heavy pogoing.Talks about the Dave Sexton days at United and how for the first time in a long time attendances started to decline at Old Trafford. Dave Sexton was the complete opposite to Tommy Docherty and was happy to shun the limelight, but the constant dropping of Gordon Hill and then eventually selling him did not please the Old Trafford faithful. With Hill gone and gates declining a 7 match winning run at the end of the 1981 season was not enough to save Dave Sexton from the sack.Gives credit to Ron Atkinson for the fine side he put together that included some marvelous players. Mostly though for the three absolute legends Atkinson introduced to the team in Robson, Whiteside and Hughes. These 3 were hated on Merseyside with a passion.Remembers fondly the game at Anfield in 1988 when United were 3-1 down and down to 10 men. With the introduction of that man Norman Whiteside coming on and putting in shall we say one or two tackles and then scoring through a Bryan Robson deflected shot, we were back in the game. In those days Liverpool would just step it up and finish you off, but as Gordon Strachan waltzed through equalised and then motioned that he had a cigar on, man did we love it. Afterwards the adrenaline was still flowing as Liverpool manager Dalglish and United manager Ferguson had words. Just a normal United v Liverpool clash really.Looks back on the league game at Anfield on the last day of March 1985. A firm Frank Stapleton header gave United a 1-0 win against the run of play and finished off any hope of Liverpool overhauling Everton for the title that year. Three weeks later United knocked Liverpool out of the F.A Cup during a breath-taking replay. I can still see that goal from Bryan Robson in my mind now.Comments further about the Manchester band scene, the development of the two Cities, the differences in the clubs, puts pay to some long-standing myths especially to do with crowd attendances. To be quite honest there's a bit of everything in the book.Long time United fans will remember it all. I certainly did and enjoyed it thoroughly. The more recent United fans owe it to themselves to learn about the rivalry down the years. Although mostly about the Liverpool v United rivalry there is also much talk on games against other clubs. I certainly recommend the book it simply has a bit of everything. Thank you Mark Nevin for a darn good read. Manchester United and Liverpool were born to be enemies. Both emerged in the cultural battlefield of the north-west of England in the late nineteenth century. One a team of railway workers, the other the plaything of a wealthy freemason, the two clubs emerged blinking into a period where the two great civic centres of the north-west were at each others throats over the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal, and whatever else they could find. When, in the late 1970s, the conflict as we know it today began to peak, Mark Nevin found himself smack in the middle of it. Born to Liverpool-supporting parents, Mark went to primary school a stone’s throw from the Merseyside boundary, grew up among friends who were all the wrong shade of red and even managed to find himself at university in Liverpool as Madchester was raving and the balance of power in football slowly began to change… This isn’t really Mark’s story. It’s more the story of two football clubs who grew up close to each other believing in very different things. It’s the story of two cities who experienced much the same cultural and industrial changes, but who viewed them very differently and whose values began to be reflected in the two biggest clubs in the history of the English game. It was a battleground, and Mark was right among the enemy bullets. All of which gave him a unique - and admittedly very one-sided - perspective on the rivalry: the result is A Deeper Shade of Red. About the AuthorMark Nevin started reporting on football more than twenty-six years ago and now regularly writes for United website http://www.redmancunian.com as well as his own http://adeepershadeofred.blogspot.co.uk. Above all, though, he's a United fan. His recent book A Deeper Shade the Red tells of his experiences of supporting United who was surrounded throughout childhood and early adulthood by triumphalist Liverpool supporters...but who's since got his own back, and then some. Mark's book offers some interesting and often unique insights into the rivalry between the two clubs, much of which were gathered behind or close to enemy lines.

  • Reflections on Masculinity Within Northern Ireland's Protestant
    The Ulster Boys: reflections on masculinity within Northern Ireland’s Protestant community Alan Bairner (Loughborough University, UK) Introduction According to MacInnes (1998: 2), ‘masculinity does not exist as the property, character trait or aspect of identity of individuals’. Rather, ‘it is an ideology produced by men as a result of the threat posed to the survival of the patriarchal sexual division of labour by the rise of modernity’ (p. 45). Whilst the influence of a perceived ‘crisis of masculinity’ can be overstated, it is irrefutable that many of the traditional sources of male (or, to be more precise, masculine) identity have been eroded throughout the western world (Seidler, 1997).That is not to say that new sources for the construction of masculinity cannot be found. Nor is it intended to imply that men have never previously experienced conflicts of identity. This lecture discusses the construction of masculinity and the related issue of conflicted identity within the context of Northern Ireland’s Protestant community. It begins with some general observations and proceeds to discuss the trajectory of three celebrity Ulster Protestants, two of them sportsmen, and their respective engagement with conflicted identity. As Sugden (1996: 129) notes in his sociological study of boxing, Northern Ireland, and, most significantly, its major city, Belfast, has always been regarded as a home to ‘hard men’. According to Sugden, ‘the “hard men” of the pre-1950s were those who worked in 1 the shipyards, mills and factories, inhabiting a proud, physically tough and exclusively male occupational culture which cast a long shadow over popular recreation outside the workplace’.

But that is not all. The general meeting of member associations is much more than a body that is asked to approve the accounts. At the 2005 Congress in Tallinn, for example, it unanimously adopted the “Vision Europe” strategy and, in doing so, defined the future direction of European football. This year, the Congress will be characterised by elections, which are particularly important because they also concern the UEFA presidency. However, it will also continue with business that has been on previous agendas, such as amendments to the UEFA statutes, revisions which will allow the principles of “Vision Europe” to be applied.

    November 19, 2018 ! Archbishop Justin Welby says Christians must be reconcilers in face of Brexit division The Archbishop of Canterbury believes churches must "strive for reconciliation" in the face of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, as some politicians try to "drive a wedge between people". [email protected] Page !1 November 19, 2018 Most Rev Justin Welby also urged Europe's politicians to deliver "fair and sustainable solutions" for the UK-EU relationship after Brexit. In a joint message released with German Bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, he said: "European relationships are changing, not least as a result of Brexit. "We do not know what will happen and what the relationship between the UK and EU will look like after 29th March 2019. "However, what we do know is that the relationship between the Church of England and the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland goes back over many centuries - long before the European Union. Bishop Heinrich, the council chair of the Evangelical Church in Germany, has been on a two-day visit to London hosted by Archbishop Justin. Their statement continued: "As churches, we urgently appeal to all politicians to find fair and sustainable solutions for the future coexistence of the UK and the EU." "As some politicians and political forces seek to drive a wedge between people so it is all the more important that the churches continue to strive for reconciliation and to speak out prophetically for a Europe where the values of human rights and human dignity are central, based in the great Christian traditions of our two countries when at their best." [email protected] Page !2 November 19, 2018 In August 2017, Archbishop Justin drew criticism from several MPs when he said that the chances of negotiating a deal before the UK's planned EU exit date of March 2019 were "infinitesimally small".

    2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ 80 things you need to know about the FIFA World Cup™ Statistical Kit 8 Status as before 2010 FIFA World Cup™ 80 things you need to know about the FIFA World Cup™ 1. FIFA’s first World Cup trophy was the Coupe Jules Rimet which was permanently awarded to Brazil after the Selecao’s third win in 1970. It was later stolen, however, never to be seen again. The trophy was stolen once before when it was taken from an exhibition before the 1966 tournament in England. A small dog called Pickles later found it buried under a bush. 2. The FIFA World Cup™ trophy is a challenge cup that remains in the permanent possession of FIFA. Made of 18-carat gold for the 1974 tournament, it is 36.8cm high and weighs 6.175kg. The base has space for 17 inscriptions, which will suffice until the 2038 FIFA World Cup™. The winning association receives a replica until the next tournament but this is “only” gold- plated. 3. Three stadiums hosted the first FIFA World Cup™ including the purpose-built Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1930. The highest number of stadiums used was in Spain in 1982: 14 cities and 17 stadiums. In 2002 when Korea Republic and Japan were co hosts they each provided ten stadiums in as many cities. Before Johannesburg nine cities in five countries have had two stadiums on one city: Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Buenos Aires, London and Paris. 4. 12 countries, including South Africa in 2010, have been one time hosts of the FIFA World Cup™.
