Just being realistic Being serious for a moment, am not too keen on the appalling behaviour of some supporters, not something that as a patriotic Briton I really wish to be associated with. Regretfully the behaviour of some Brits abroad can be quite embarrassing for many of us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The behaviour of many nationalities abroad on holiday is like wise. But for every bad mannered Brit, Russian, German, swede, etc I have met , I have always come across more who are no different to myself, law abiding , respectful, polite and friendly. I have followed my football team , club and country , abroad a few times and 90% of the time I have had fabulous experiences . It's really no different than real life . i have even come across some boat owners on the broads who are down right rude and ignorant. Most however are friendly and polite.

JennyMorgan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Very fair comment, Neil, but please note that I did write 'some supporters' and 'some Brits'. We have just had the very real pleasure of a young Russian lady staying with us, a friend of one of my daughters. She was also clearly not impressed with the behaviour of some Russian footy fans in France. Regretfully football does seem to bring out the worst in some people.

Poppy Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Donnygeoff, Here's how she explained it to me . "You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eying them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting. Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk around the other shopper and buy the shoes! At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes! But, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnygeoff Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Did we forget our scoring boots...... All the (useless) stats are in our favour 66% possession 4 corners against 0 4 attempts against 0 And I suppose at the minute the only important stat is the score, still in our favour 0-0 CAN I SAY 2 NIL INSTEAD OF 4 NOW And can I have my money back on the 4 -0 score.

Quite why the lesser matches (anything not involving England & Norwich city( aka Ireland)) are broadcast on the mainstream chanels is beyond me ..... there are many less loved channels that could accomodate these games .... and maybe even the red button? Obviously you HAVE`NT seen British Superbikes, or World Superbikes on Quest, FREEVIEW channell 37, and +1 channell 38?. REAL sport, by REAL sportsmen.

But, while you are waiting for your friend to realise you need her purse, the shop assistant gets fed up of waiting and decides to leave the till and put a pair of shoes straight on a rack in the middle of the shop, you must then hope your friend has noticed this and waits for the friend of the female shopper in front of you to go to her and start to get her own purse out for her. At this time your friend can throw the purse, you can catch it, push in front of the two other shoppers ( you must have two people between you and the till, one does not have to be the teller) at this time the shop assistant will be on her way back to the till at speed, and you can get the shoes........

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 A typical England football analasys England always second to the ball, always giving the ball to the opposition, always playing for a draw, but if you do get a goal in the first 5 minutes, defend a 1-0 lead for the remaining 85 minutes, and don`t forget, England invented the game, so we only have to turn up to win. Who said anything ridiculous about actually PLAYING to win?. Synical or what?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Oh, i forgot, tell the goal keeper to kick the long ball forward, then you guys play it back to the keeper everytime. And if the opposition get the ball off you and score, look around and blame everybody but yourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
