THE STEVE GOLDBY COLUMN - HERE COMES THE PAIN - 20-11-08
Steve Goldby
I'm sat here typing away at the very same time that England are taking on Germany in Berlin and if you're wondering why I'm not watching the match, well there's one very good reason why not. International football is rubbish these days and heavy metal is much, much better.
And here is a small selection of the reasons why the above statement rings true in so many different ways...
1. The 'singing' at football matches is no more than mindless, banal and brainless whereas the majority of metal bands sing meaningful songs with meaningful lyrics. Take these words from the W.A.S.P. classic, Animal (Fuck Like A Beast).
I'm making artificial lovers for free
I start to howl I'm in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy
I fuck like a Beast
Pretty hot stuff from a pretty hot band and I know for a fact that author Blackie Lawless put an awful lot of thought into that number. Much more on Blackie later in the column. In the meantime, check out the track in full by clicking here.
2. English football fans hate Germans, as borne out by that loathsome diatribe called 'Ten German Bombers' which the skinhead and yobbo contingent who follow the national side insist on singing at international matches the length and breadth of the continent when England are in town.
Metal on the other hand embraces our Saxonic brethren as there's a lot to be said for Anglo-Deutsch relationships. Take German sausages and beer for example which are always of a far higher standard than what you will find in any English hostelry.
And take the fine array of German metal bands that are around at the moment, Blind Guardian, Helloween, UDO and Andra to name but a handful. What is not to like about Germany?
Incidentally, I went to the doctor with fluid on the knee last Thursday and he told me I wasn't aiming straight. But on with the reasons why metal is better than international football...
3. You have to be super fit and exceptionally healthy to play football whereas with metal, the more out of it you are, the more creative you will become. In most cases.
Take Adrian Mutu for example, banned from the game for one petty little line of coke. Well actually it was probably a big monster fat line of Easy Rider proportions but you take my point, I'm sure.
Now if Mutu had been a metal star, this would have been the norm and not a castigatable banning offence. In fact, people have been sacked from metal bands before for not taking enough drugs.
You see, whereas rockers live in a world of freedom where nobody gets judged for their consumption levels and habits, international football exists in a conservative vacuum where individuality is positively discouraged and a monotonous mindfuck of rules and regulations controls everything around it.
Just imagine this for a minute. Drugs in sport are now legalised and new records are being set by sprinters OD'ing on Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, two boxers produce the fight of the century whilst speeding off their tits and England finally win the World Cup and it's all down to the new Club England Pharmacist who replaces the traditional pre-match pasta and fish with a big bagful of Provigil and Olmifon.
And for those who think this is a startlingly bad idea, just remember that the word parallelogram would never have been invented had it not been for the use of illegal substance. Click here for one of the classic lyrics of all time.
But seriously, I really do not like people who take drugs. Like policemen, customs officers and the like...
4. You never get a supporting act at international football matches. Some people positively thrive on the 'match day' routine but I think it is simply durge. Same old, same old, same old... Aaaaarggghhh! Get me out of this fucking Groundhog Day!
Why don't they have a supporting act to warm the crowd up before the main teams come on? There are all kinds of possibilities here, for example tribute football sides, reunion teams, old timers/has-beens select elevens playing against the local pub side and the best of the up and coming sides facing off against each other.
I discovered Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold and Helloween supporting Iron Maiden and had never heard of Tank until I saw them with Motorhead and likewise Billy Squier who played with Whitesnake. There are many, many more examples as well and it stands to reason that tepid international football matches would benefit from having a supporting act.
5. This is the final point but this is a subject I may well return to later in the season. Probably when I next decide to have a grizzle about the completely ludicrous and mind-numbingly bad idea of England employing an Italian manager. Damn. I tried so hard not to mention it this time as well...
Regular readers of my column will know that I usually tell a story from my wild and crazy holiday about now but I will resume with that in the next week or so. New readers to my column can catch up on the stories I have told so far this season by clicking here.
New readers to my column should also check out my spellbinding new book, Teesside Urban Legends. This is the first ever book in the history of the Planet Earth, nay - make that the whole universe - to be gleaned from message board postings and if I ever get round to publishing all the reviews we have received, you'll see that the book has gone down a storm with the media. Check out Teesside Urban Legends by clicking here.
And so back to our fifth point and that is: International football produces very few iconic figures whereas metal can lay claim to many within it's ranks.
International football can produce the likes of David Beckham but metal can counter with Lemmy. I mean can you imagine Beckham going toe to toe, drink for drink, line for line with the Lemmster, face reddening up whilst fighting hard to keep it all down. And that would be after just the second shot.
OK, Beckham could probably still run Lemmy ragged on a football pitch but when they reconvened in the club bar afterwards, there could be only one winner.
So who would you rather trawl the bars of central London, Munich or Hollywood with, given the opportunity? Tom Araya or Ashley Cole? Rio Ferdinand or David Coverdale? George Best or Matt Heafy?
OK, George certainly was an international football icon who sadly drank himself to death at the age of 59 and having met the man several times, I can honestly say that he was one hell of a party animal. But would he have lasted the pace when up against one of today's metal stalwarts? I think not as he just didn't have the stomach for the competition, especially after surgeons cut it open to remove his damaged liver.
So metal wins again and there you have five great reasons why international football sucks big time and metal rules.
I promised you some more Blackie Lawless earlier on and this was sent to me just before the recent American Election by my friend Deanna Sardona from New York who reckons that Blackie should be the next President.
Well if an ageing Hollywood actor can make it to the White House and Schwarzenegger can become Governor of California - 'Give me your taxes, asshole!' - then why can't the man who wrote Animal (Fuck Like A Beast) get his moment of glory?
I'd be very interested to know what you think of what Blackie has said so please feel free to mail me with your viewpoints. Just click here to write to me.
And finally for this week, I have managed to obtain a copy of the leaked list of BNP members that was publicised in the national media on Wednesday. If you would like a copy of all 12,802 names and addresses then please click here to write to me and I'll mail you back a copy. This is a good opportunity to help bring this scumbag organisation down.
"Read in Case of National Emergency"
by Blackie Lawless
"We the people of the United States." These are the first seven words of the
Constitution of the United States of America. As I stood in the reception area of
the Pentagon in Washington D.C. early this year, a large recreation of that
Constitution was posted on the wall. It's the first thing you see as you enter
the building. "We the People of the United States..." I stared at it and
said: "I'd die for that idea!"
I've written in the past, I love my country, but I'm scared to death of
its Government. That idea for me has taken a new twist in this coming election.
I'd first like to point out that I am not a John McCain supporter. I have been
critical of the U. S. Government for years, and I, like most of my fellow
Americans am angry and frustrated with the lying, manipulation and partisanship of
the elected officials, both local and national, Democrat and Republican, of this
country.
The Founding Fathers of this Country wrote this Constitution, with all it's
Amendments, as THE Cornerstone that this country would be governed by.
We Americans now find ourselves on the eve of, without a doubt, THE most important
election of our lifetime.
In a time of world uncertainty, the volatility of the global financial Markets,
the Middle East at war, Russia invading Georgia, Iran and North Korea attempting
to develop nuclear weapons and with that Iran threatening to "wipe Israel off
the map", the entire world is at a dangerous point in history.
I grew up and lived with the ideals and philosophy of the counter culture
generation; peace and love, flower power, stop the war and never trust anybody over 30.
Stop the war was absolutely correct! Vietnam was a disaster and more than
50,000 U. S. Soldiers died for that mistake. But the rest was a load of naïve,
idealist, "we can change the world" CRAP.
Not that some of those sentiments weren't a good idea. It's just that this
generation of self-serving, selfish, spoiled brats has now come of age. They are
the ones that now have perpetuated the greed and the lies of the Wall Street
Bailout and a laundry list of other political atrocities too numerous to mention.
The weakness of true conviction to teach their children about the values and
history of this nation. Their children know nothing of Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams, Washington, Lincoln or the understanding that this Great Nation was built
on the dreams, the tears, the back breaking labor, the unending sacrifice and the
blood spilled by the generations before them that sacrificed their all, including
the men and women that gave their lives, and the ones that will give their lives
in defense of this "Great Experiment", this Great American Dream.
If you don't think so, go up to most any of their kids on the street and ask them
about the Founding Fathers. More than likely they'll think its some new rap group.
It's not just a glimpse into poor enlightenment. It's an indictment on their
parents.
The generation that was going to change the world certainly did. Their gluttony
for botox, living on credit cards, busy being fabulous and its all about me, me,
me cause I'm better than you. "All You Need is Love".... I'm sorry pal,
you missed the boat, all you really need is some guts and character. I'm disgusted
and ashamed to be part of it.
Instead, that generation with their Woodstock/Marxist Scream-Dream are the ones which now control the majority of the mainstream media in this country. That includes almost all television and almost all newspapers. They are
the ones that now bring the extreme liberal, radical 60's utopian vision of
their world to the American people. The extreme liberal bias of the mainstream
American media which are now controlled by these "Yuppies" have conspired
to deceive, manipulate, suppress the truth, promote their candidate at all costs
and bury any story that does not put a halo around the head of that candidate.
It is with this that the American People are brought Barack Obama.
This man is a product of that Extreme Leftist-Marxist movement that has been
building in this country for over 40 years. He is a product of the Harvard far
left. He is the face and mouthpiece of a movement that is hell-bent on breaking up
the U.S. Constitution and reassembling it to conform to their vision. He is a
lawyer, the Democratic Johnny Cochran, in which every time he speaks gives a
closing argument. He is the embodiment of the New Democratic Machine.
When I was a kid everyone I knew were Democrats, but these are not your father's
Democrats anymore. They are part of some liberal elite that looks down on the
ideals that made this country great.
This Leftist machine has hidden the truth from the American People (and the world)
and continues to deceive at any cost.
Right now, as I write, the L. A. Times Newspaper has a videotape, which it refuses
to release to the American public, which shows Obama at a farewell dinner
celebration for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Spokesman Rashid
Khalidi. He was also a spokesman for Yassir Arafat. In this tape are the recorded
verbal attacks on Israel and the Israeli People and reference to Israel as a
terrorist state.
Reportedly, the domestic terrorist Bill Ayres, who as part of the "Weather
Underground" terrorist organization bombed several U. S. targets including the
Pentagon and the home of a U. S. Judge and killing two policemen in the process, was
also at this dinner. Obama has been close friends with Khalidi and Ayers for many
years.
The oath of President requires that the President will "protect the
United States against all enemies, both foreign AND domestic." Guess he didn't
read that part!
Now, what should be of utmost concern to the American people are
the repeated denials by Obama, that he has no ties to any of these people. If he
has nothing to hide why not be truthful with the American public and request the
L. A. Times to release this videotape for us all to see. If it turns out to be
nothing then at least the truth will be served.
From Obama's twenty-year association with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright who has
repeatedly said: "It's not God Bless America, No, No, No, Its God Damn
America!
Obama sat in Wright's church and listened to this treason for twenty years.
Wright also performed Obama's marriage and baptized both of his children.
Obama was an organizer for Acorn, the group now accused of massive voter
registration fraud. Some working for Acorn have already been jailed for this.
Obama was also Acorn's lawyer for a time. Obama recently donated over $800,000 to
Acorn.
He accuses Americans for "clinging to their guns and religion."
Never in the history of the United States has any Presidential candidate had a
shroud of controversy surround them as has Obama. If someone would have told me two years ago that anybody with these associations could get nominated for their party, or even dog catcher, much less President of the United States, I would have
said they were insane.
My reasons for starting this letter with the first line of the Constitution is to
reference a radio interview Obama did in which he says the U. S. Supreme Court did
not go far enough in attempting to provide reparations to African-Americans and
that the Earl Warren edition of the Supreme Court was not liberal enough. That
Court was probably the most liberal in U.S. history.
It is not the job of the Supreme Court to be liberal or conservative. It is to
interpret the Constitution... period. It is not to legislate from the bench
based on the "general consensus of the people" as stated in a recent
Supreme Court ruling, but rather to make its rulings based on the precise wording
of the Constitution. If at some point "the people" wish to have any new
amendment to the Constitution based on their modern day ideals, then all fifty states
must ratify it... period.
This is the Obama quote from that interview with radio station WBEZ.FM in Chicago.
This is not taken out of context. It is the entire quote:
"The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth,
and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To
that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it
wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were
placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been
interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the
Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to
you. Says what the Federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the
Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn't
shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um,
because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a
tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on
the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through
which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from
that."
These are things he would NEVER say in front of a national audience. He only says
and does these things when he thinks his base group is listening. In this
interview he is making it clear that if elected, he would nominate Supreme Court
Justices that will put forth his agenda's, redistribution of wealth, his
idea of economic justice and redistributive change which are
other words for reparations for slavery and a Marxist redistribution of wealth
which is no more than welfare.
Thomas Jefferson wrote in The Declaration of Independence about 'Life, Liberty
and the PURSUIT of Happiness'. This PURSUIT is not a guarantee of wealth or any
form of happiness, but the chance to raise oneself up. This government never has,
nor ever will, nor ever should provide for anything more than this.
It is ironic that Obama's supporters so often refer to him as a new John F.
Kennedy.
Senator Obama should be reminded that it was JFK in his inaugural address that
said "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for you
country."
That is the TRUE American Spirit!
On the issue of taxes, in an effort to "spread the wealth around" he first
defined the rich as making $300,000 then he said it was $250,000 then he said
$200,000, then a few days ago Joe Biden said it would be $150,000. So, what's the
real number? This is more about him not being truthful with the public.
Will all of his tax schemes of taxing anyone who makes over $250,000 (or whatever
it is) a year destroy our economy, yeah, just like Jimmy Carter did in the 70's and Herbert Hoover before him. It's not the individual that makes that much
money that's the issue. If this were only about individuals then that could be
argued. But what he doesn't tell you is what it does to businesses. Most any
business that creates that much revenue MUST employ a number of people. If the
business is taxed upwards of 30% or more then those jobs are gone... its that
simple.
There have been a lot of charges about racism in this election from the Obama
side. I personally have never been a racist. Any of you that know me, know I've
said many times that after my Father, Muhammad Ali has been the biggest influence
in my life.
But there definitely is racism in this election. 96%-97% of African-Americans
polled in this election say they will vote for Obama. Never in the history of this
country has ANY candidate ever had such overwhelming numbers from any group.
White, Black, Hispanic, Asian or other.
The traveling political, racist circus
called Acorn, which Obama worked with for years, is creating and sponsoring voter
fraud across the country by registering illegal immigrants, the Dallas Cowboys and
Mickey Mouse. This is no joke. Acorn has actually done this and much, much more.
Their belief is win... at any cost... the Constitution be Dammed!
If that's not prejudice, I don't know what is.
The books Obama has written about himself are very clear as to his true ambitions
concerning his Leftist, Marxist views but the average person will not take the
time to read them.
In the 1920's while in prison, a young Adolf Hitler wrote 'Mein Kampf' (My Struggle) which outlined his entire plan for World
Domination and the extermination of the Jewish race. No one would read it, and then when they did it was too late... Any book that was not approved by the
Nazi Party was burned. The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx at one time,
was required reading in our schools. This book is Obama's "How To" guide with his ideal of the "Redistribution of Wealth". If you don't think
so, go back and look at the above radio interview. Somewhere Karl Marx with his Godless, Utopian vision is laughing in delight.
If it is true that 'what is past is prologue' then we need look no
further than Obama's books. His blueprint is there in black and white.
Literally and figuratively.
I will vote for McCain, not because I believe in all he stands for, but as a
mandate against Obama, to keep him from becoming President.
Yes, I will cling to my guns and my religion, and continue to believe in the
Constitution, the Cornerstone of our society and trust that this is STILL a Government of the People, By the People, For the People.
The point of all this is, that no matter whatever any of us encounter in life,
look for the truth. The truth can and will stand up to anything. If that truth
cannot stand up to scrutiny then you must see it and call it for what it truly is.
If any would be Messiah comes along and he looks like it, acts like it and smells
like it then you call him what he truly is... a Marxist, in Socialist
clothing!
I challenge all Americans to go back and READ the Constitution of the United
States, READ the Declaration of Independence.
Decide for Yourself
God Help Us. God Bless America

All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time, you will be at least £45.20 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If
they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
Also, please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using,
you won't be able to do this. If that is the case, mail
us or phone us on 01642 223229 as we have alternative bets written and ready to mail out to you using different bookies.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match and we will collect £134.20 if Spain U21 win, £136.50 if Germany U21 win and £135.00 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Paddy Power.
Open an account with Bet On Bet.
Open an account with  Bet 24.
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £25.00 into your new Paddy Power account.
Deposit £36.00 into your Bet On Bet account.
Deposit £28.00 into your new Bet 24 account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Back the draw with £25.00 at 11/5 with Paddy Power.
Paddy Power will now add a £25.00 bonus to your account. Place this on the draw as well. You will now have £50.00 riding on the draw.
Back Spain U21 with £36.00 at odds of 2.20 (6/5) with Bet On Bet.
Bet On Bet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £61.00 riding on Spain U21.
The £25.00 matched bet will not show in your account but you can read all about how it works on the Bet On Bet site.
Place £28.00 on Germany U21 at odds of 3.25 with Bet 24.
Bet 24 will now add a £14.00 bonus to your account. Place this on Germany U21 as well. You will now have £42.00 riding on Germany U21.
If you are unsure about placing these bets, please feel free to mail us or call us on 01642 223229 and we will talk you through it, no problem at all. There is no such thing as a stupid
question.
You have temporarily laid out a total of £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game. All winnings are paid out on the ninety minute result.
If it's a draw, you collect £135.00 from Paddy Power.
If Spain U21 win, you collect £134.20 from Bet On Bet.
If Germany U21 win, you collect £136.50 from Bet 24.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match is Spain U21 win and you make £45.20 profit. However, if Germany U21 win you make £47.50 profit and if it is a draw you make £46.00 profit. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, a much better rate of interest than you would get at any high street bank or building society.
6. It is absolutely vital that you click on the links on this page to open the accounts with the three bookies or you may not qualify for the
bonuses/free bets.
Also, before you place your bets, you should check that the odds haven't changed. If they have, let us know by mail or phone us on 01642 223229 and we will rework the bet
for you.
There is a wagering requirement at Bet 24. You have to roll your winnings over before we can withdraw them but it is very easy to do this risk-free. If Germany U21 win, please contact us and we'll show you exactly how to do this. Winnings from the other two bookies are immediately withdrawable.
Please feel free to contact us or phone us on 01642 223229 if you have any questions at all about this bet and we will help you as much as we can.
Please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using, you
won't be able to do this. If that is the case, mail
us or phone us on 01642 223229 and we'll create an alternative bet for you using different bookies.
This method of betting was used very successfully during the 2006 World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.
We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that
question is that this is the fifth season that we have been publishing these kind of bets and literally hundreds of people have profited from
following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our
advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers, which is highly unlikely.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to
claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these next season.
