Euro 2012
  • Yeah Duff looked briefly concered too
  • Fond of fucking pushing people
  • Given's fault that goal and no mistake. I reckon he thought he still had a player on his front post from the corner so positioned himself a bit more central.
  • Arsecandles. We better come out barking in the second half
  • Brilliant. The Irish defender who miskicks his clearance straight to Jelavic actually appeals for offside.
  • Jelavic is in my fantasy football team, lovely job

    he was kicked in the leg as new was trying to clear.

    Fuck off and die! ;)
  • Cracking header. By Given.
  • Good header by Given there.

    both of these defences are going to be ripped apart by Spain and Italy.
  • Obviously the luck of the Irish has been diluted by the curse of playing for Villa.
  • The one thing we normally do well is defend. One freak goal and two soft ones given up today.
  • Also, the subs. Putting a championship centre forward on the left wing?
  • Yep Spain will make shite of that defence.
  • I get the feeling the suit and tie with a beanie hat look won't catch on.
  • Nicked from facebook:

  • Desperately wanted Ireland to get something there, but as Gogs said, the defending was sloppy and Croatia were too cute in possession to let them build up a head of steam. I also think Croatia may cause Italy and Spain more problems than you might think. They have two big strikers bang in form and plenty of width.

  • Good to see the old and new Spurs boys playing true to form:

    Rabbi Keane: all bluster and the touch of a rapist.
    Modric: One of the best ball keeping midfielders I have seen
    Corluka: when asked to do anything other than head a straight ball is absolutely useless
    Kranjcar: loves a foul that boy
  • Same for City's lads so far...

    Balo - mental. Mind, he's got some competition from Cassano.
    Silva - Lovely.
    De Jong - Brutal.
  • I watched today's games on the tv, and it was the turn of German channel ZDF to show them. They don't have a studio, but built some crazy stage out in the sea/lake by a pier, and Oliver Kahn presents. Mental. No half time analysis, just the news.

    Highlights of the Ireland game other than Given's clinical finish was the hopeless German commentator coming out with the line "God save our Keane" when he got subbed.

    Silva's flicked ball for the goal deserved so much more than to be roundly ignored by the commentators. Heathens.

    I trust you will all stroke your chins with delight when I do the same in two weeks (followed by Rocky hoofing it straight at Jim).

  • Jarziniho said: Also, with van Persie playing with the touch of our very own Budgie, does that mean Budgie has magically received van Persie's usual skill?
    Having played last night I can reveal the answer is...



    No.
  • I'd just like to say that if that fecking dam-busters playing brass band is there at the england games this time then I'm going to come down there and slap every single one of yous.
  • Nothing to do with us! If I have to hear one more shitty rendition of Ring of Fire from those cunts I won't be best pleased
  • Fair enough. You shall be spared the slappage. The rest of you are on notice tho..
  • Personally I'm looking forward to seeing the Scottishers get their campaign under way - all those comedy red wigs, kilts, and bagpipers dancing in the fountains...

    ...7pm, on The History Channel.
  • You'll be first.
  • Downing out, Oxlade-Chamberlain in. There is hope.
  • Hmmmm. Well there's a vote for untapped potential. Let's hope he gives Evra the same kind of roasting as he did in the league match at Arsenal earlier this season.
  • It's so sweet that you englishers take this so seriously.
  • Downing's non-involvement means I will actually have a bit of an interest, rather than it being a completely pointless exercise.
  • You haven't had anyone decent on the left wing for 15 years. Is he that much of a factor?
  • ...compared to Wales's team for the last 15 years, which has consisted of a left winger and no one else.

    Maybe not, but it's the utter frustation at his total passengerness.

    And the odd brilliant fat goalkeeper.

  • I tell you what, Alan Green's going to be a treat on the 5Live commentary if the rumored omission of the Liverpool contingent its to be believed.

    The man hates football at the best of times!

    If it's hoofed straight into my knackers then I think Rock would take that over a goal.
  • Good luck England - give those Frenchies a good thrashing for us.
  • We can't win here can we? We lose and everyone gives it all the "YEAH WE IS SHIT", we win and all of a sudden it'll be "WE CAN WIN IT" all over the place. A draw and everyone sort of sits in between.

    Bastards, to a man.
  • Regardless of result I'm hoping for an entertaining game of football.

    And no goals as I've gone for a 0-0 on my bets.
  • More English in this pub tonight than Germans at the weekend and very vocal. Should be a cracker, and the barmaid who looks like Katy Perry is working.
  • Playing well enough, pity about the equaliser. Ref has let Cabaye commit several deliberate fouls now without a yellow card.
  • Fair enough you're going to sit deep, but England can't let France have so many shots, even if they are from long range.
  • If at any point she kisses a girl I will pay CASH MONEY for pics.
  • Yep, the ref is fucking useless. Official.
  • If I was Hodgson, I'd give Walcott the last ten minutes, bring Milner off and let him have a run at Evra.
  • Ref disnae like ye
  • Rooney has gone all Troy McCLure with the hair implants.
  • He looks ridiculous.

Howdy, Stranger!
