Allez les Bleus!
Nice to see that France's goals were both the fault of Liverpool players.

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.)

Similar things happen every weekend of the year up and down the country but this has received far more press attention due to it coinciding with a major football match.

Hey ho. Still a useless oaf though. 
At least England won something yesterday.

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!markfiend wrote:At least England won something yesterday.

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.

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.RicheyJames wrote: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!markfiend wrote:At least England won something yesterday.

@ 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.markfiend wrote:@ 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.

Less of the British please! Its the English who have the worst behaviour abroad.
Posted: 14 Jun 2004, 14:13
Is that so?? I think it's the English who is mostly reported about!!
Posted: 14 Jun 2004, 14:22
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". 
"Yes. That's right". 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.
