England v Croatia

2 - 0.................Taxi for McLaren?

Planet Dave · 21 Nov 2007, 23:09

2-3, taxi for the lot of 'em. Wish I'd been sat in this ace boozer I found in Dubrovnik watching tonights match, they've probably razed it to the ground in joy by now.

It was rocking bigtime whilst they watched Dynamo Zagreb get stiffed by Bremen or someone back in August. Proper fans, if not slightly 'disturbed'.

scotty · 21 Nov 2007, 23:17

Truth is Dave........yooz wur Pish, they finished in the same position and on the same points(?) as us in a far weaker group, under no circumstances do England deserve a place in the Finals, it goes to show that all the overpaid flouncy fairies don't have the Heart when it comes to it, and being led by McDohnut don't help none

.
So........what now for England?.

Ozpat · 21 Nov 2007, 23:20

Great game to watch......Deserved win for Croatia.

Belaruse - Holland 2-1.....

Planet Dave · 21 Nov 2007, 23:25

Who gives a flyin fck about ingerrrrlund? Red first, nowt else matters. It was truly comical watching the halfwits lumber around and try to spawn a draw, against a clearly far superior opposition. Surely wishing I was sat in a bar in Croatia watching that match suggests something about my concerns for the national side.

What now for ingerrrrrrrrlund. Not much for a while, at a guess.

edit : it's been also truly comical watching the rest of the 'home nations' lumber around and failing to qualify. Twas ever thus. When does the Champions League start again?

You? Hearts? I'd never have guessed, Keith.

Pull yer bloody fingers out and get yerselves in the group stages next year, the red away crowd would love a jaunt up to beautiful Edinburgh

So are the Netherlands out then Pat?

If that's the case, I wonder how many rattles RVN threw outta his pram (although of course he's allowed to, being one of the few 'beyond reproach' ex-Reds.

Don't be letting that nice Mr Ronaldo get injured running around in purple next summer. He's got to keep his strength up you know, for, erm, his interests outside Old Trafford. Allegedly.

Just got back from the game no voice and no complaints about the result we didn't deserve to win or go to the Euro finals, good luck to Croatia and Russia (begrudgingly) oh and Mclaren was sacked at 10.30PM cue whooping and cheering galore, made the train journey home more enjoyable.

".SCOTLAND DIES LAUGHING

TRIBUTES are being paid to Scotland this morning after the entire
country laughed itself to death.
The alarm was first raised at around 10pm last night as thousands of
phone calls and text messages went unanswered.
Small groups of volunteers from Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Carlisle
ventured north just after midnight only to find houses full of dead
people gathered around still blaring television sets.
By dawn, as RAF helicopters flew over deserted city streets, it was
clear that the whole country had suffered a catastrophic abdominal
rupture.
Wayne Hayes, a special constable from Northumberland, said: "We
went into one house in Dunbar and found three men sitting on the sofa
with huge smiles on their faces, still holding cans of 70 shilling. They
seemed to be at peace."
He added: "In a house near Edinburgh we found a man face down on the living room floor with his trousers and
pants round his knees.
"It seems he may have been showing his bare buttocks to the television when he keeled over."
Roy Hobbs, a civil engineer from Northampton, said: "I got a call from my friend Ian in Stirling at about 9.50pm.
"He was already laughing when I answered the phone, but after about 25 minutes of the most vigorous and
uncontrollable hilarity, everything suddenly went very quiet."
Moving tributes are already being placed along the Scotland-England border with many mourners opting to leave a
simple bag of chips or a deep fried bunch of flowers.

Deep fried bunch of flowers

Apparently not playing in Euro 2008 will cost the economy over two billion in lose of takings at bars and clubs.

Sort of, I just get fed up with the arrogant attitude that emanates from the English Football camp, they've got this thing of "we're the best and we're England so we will win competition we enter"

, aye, they've got some great players, but earning Millions and getting your wedding photo's in "Hello" just don't cut it, it's kind of like seeing the the Guy that thinks he's the best looking & coolest bloke in the Pub slip and fall on his arse

Scotland defeat is economic misery for Euro 08 hosts

Scotland's failure to qualify for the 2008 European Championships has condemned the tournament hosts to economic ruin even before the competition begins after they invested heavily in Mars bars and chip fat.

Austria and Switzerland, co-hosts of the next Championships, spent millions of euro on the popular confection and deep-frying equipment in anticipation of a Tartan Army invasion after Scotland's splendid performances in the tournament's qualifiers. All the hard work was sadly undone last Saturday when the hapless Jocks blew their chances by losing at home to World Champions Italy.

You're the one for me, fatty
Bent Kum, a UEFA spokesman, said on behalf of the hosts, "Good moaning. Yez, ze Swittz and ze Ostreyans are very un'appy. Der are mountains of Mars bars in Salzburg and Zurich as ve speak, ploos litres of sunflowhaar oil and frying machines. It iz a deezaster for them," he announced in a curious euro-mix of accents.

Not a stereotype
We called legendary 80s mirth-man Russ Abbott and asked him to comment on the crisis in the style of his comedy Scottish character CU Jimmy, the virtually unintelligibly psychopath who would gibber at the audience in a vaguely threatening manner. We couldn't understand a word he said.

Mars, the company who produce the bars, have refused to take the excess confectionery back. "Our warehouses are chokka," a spokesman quipped with a smile, whereupon our reporter had no choice but to batter him repeatedly for such a poor joke.

'Effin' chadder
Scotland's defeat means Italy and France go through to the finals. Bisexual Gordon Ramsay, the former footballer turned foul-mouthed chef has been asked to see if he can make something from the unwanted food mountain. "Pissy, f**king Mars bars fried with f**king frogs legs or c**t lasagne at outrageous prices with a s**t of something on the side costing Â£20 a pop," he raged when explaining his intentions.

England's David Beckham, and close friend of the celebrity chef, has endorsed the rescue plan: "I'll eat anything of Gordon's. Anything," he said, wiping an unnamed creamy white sauce from his lips with the back of his hand.
