Real or not, at the rate Beckhams missing penos for England it's hardly going to end up being a collectors item.

Anyone know what nationality the ref was in that match? I heard on the news today about 2 Italian Refs who were involved in a match fixing ring - would be interesting to see what the english would do if he were Italian. It should never have gone to penos I think Campbells goal was fine !

Anyway 10 million is nuts for an ill fated trophy like that.

Already had this thread and most people even the English Commentators have agreed that the goal should have been disallowed

Back on topic! why is this on the news of every radio station in Ireland and doesn't even get a mention on BBC Radio1? I listen to Radio 1 in work thru the internet and havent heard a mention of it but every morning on Spin they are waffling about it! why? do we really give a f**kin s**t where da ball is? is wasnt as if Ireland where playin them!!

It does appear to be the real ball.

But surely 10 million is a wind-up! I would have said the very maximum he might get would be 50,000, and even that would be extraordinary.

I've never used e-bay, it is easy to make bogus offers with no intention of paying up?

DEmeant0r

it's EUR 24,700.00. Notice the dot between 24,700 and the 00. so therefore it's 24 thousand and 700 euros.

The Rooster

I can read numbers Dementor. Thick, but not that thick!

They've removed the multi-million bids, so they were obviously hoaxes.

Because there are a lot of people in this country who love to dwell on the bad things that happen to English teams. And Beckhams miss is an example.

so do u beleive if it was Darius Vassels penalty that went into the stand instead of being saved , that this would still be on the news ?

no its because the person who kicked it has a weekly apearance in OK magazine .

Obviously cos it was Beckham there will be more interest in it, however the original post asked why are the Irish media obsessed with it when the British media are not, and no one is more obsessed with Beckham than the British media (Other than the Asians perhaps).

The reason is because we in Ireland like to dwell on England failures....., and even more so when it involves an over hyped mediocre midfielder.

Harry2001

If Beckham had scored the penalty and England went through then I could understand the large bids but why would anyone want the ball from such a disastrous attempt at a penalty?

On the media’s obsession with Beckham, is there anyone in the world who has not had enough of him by now?

eyerer

yes, i've disliked the ****er for about 6 years, enough is enough

(Other than the Asians perhaps)

can someone please explain this to me?
WHY would asian people (are they even into football that much?) be obsessed with an overrated english player, who is about half the globe away from them
its bad enough here, but thats just rediculous

Obviously yesterday's designated sick cat caught up a tree story.

As for Beckham and the Asians, it doesn't get much more nutty than this.

Big Ears

The reason they like he is because he is on the other side of the World .

if they saw him more they'd see him for the **** footballer that he is .

eyerer

sure, but i just can't understand how it happened in the first place
hes more like a popstar anyway, you hear more news about him relating to non-football issues
