England v France

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Nice to see that France's goals were both the fault of Liverpool players. :lol:

Apparently lots of people went on a rampage last night causing criminal damage because eleven men from one part of Europe kicked a bit of leather filled with air into a net more often than eleven men from another part of Europe managed to, whilst they were all running round on a field together, spitting.

(for anyone who was wondering... I believe the worst-hit towns were Croydon, Boston, Wakefield and Cheshunt... and various others.) :|

oh yes, a little ray of sporting sunshine that was. isn't it marvellous the way england have become so bloody resilient just lately? in every one of those three tests there was a time when i thought we'd blown it but everytime there was someone who just dug in and refused to budge. who cares about winning the toss anyway!

Flipping gutted. We were winning an eleven-small slow geezers hold off the talented big boys for an unlikely-win scenario that has not been seen since...we beat Argentina. And then we pushed one of the big boys over, and he scored. And kicked the worst back-pass ever in the history of football. So near and yet so far.

Cant get much more spot on than that really.

For people who are not keen on football then it will be a shame if a few people not representative of the vast majority of one of your intrests put you in a position of defending something you really shouldnt be having to defend.

Im sure idiots and alcohol can cause violence and destruction anywhere anytime.... come to think of it, i think that does happen on nights where there is no footbal involved at all.

Personally im not keen on any possible implication by a post that just because i have an intrest in last nights game, i can give or take a bit of mindless violence.

Very naughty.

Indeed. IMO Ashley Giles possibly deserved man of the match more, but I'm not going to begrudge it going to Thorpe. It was a bit of a shame for Chris Cairns not getting a ten-wicket haul in his final test. It was a thrilling day's play yesterday. One thing I think that needs to be looked at is umpiring. There were quite a few decisions that were called into question by Channel 4's "Hawkeye" doohickey. The worst probably being Strauss's dismissal when the ball pitched way outside leg. Not out, I'm afraid Mr Taufel. :x

@ Paddy: I'm sure most people are aware of the tendency of the average British idiot to go on the rampage when he's been drinking, and know that football is largely irrelevant to that tendency.

The whole of Britain gets tarred with that brush, not just football fans.

Im sure your right of course, its just the associations with such behaviour are easy to identify with something else if.... lets say.... you just dont like it and want to post to a thread.

OK change "British idiot" to "English idiot".

But the rest of my point stands I think.

I've never felt comfortable watching a match in public either at a ground or in a pub due to the menacing air of testosterone. Maybe I'm a coward. Correction: I know I'm a coward. Maybe it's cos I was bullied at school by a lad nicknamed Yobbo due to his notoriety on the terraces at Swindon. Maybe it's cos the only thing that got me out of a confrontation for not joining in the chanting when my German exchange partner dragged me to a match in Bremen was claiming diplomatic immunity: "Oi Junge!" "I'm English" "Ah Englander! Bobby Charlton". :D "Yes. That's right". :roll: Maybe it's cos I don't understand how anyone can get so passionately excited/ upset/ angry about anything other than their loved ones.

I know there are many non-agressive people who regularly attend matches and I assume that includes all of the people here. I just don't understand why you want to spend time in an atmosphere where it could all kick off at any minute. No pun intended.
