Another ugly scene in France this morning

Litter lout!  Leaving that water bottle on the base of the stairway ! Shocking !3,

[JennyMorgan]

Iain, perhaps the 'ugly' referred to the ears?

[BroadScot]

Oh JM, being a Liverpool fan from a very early age, I met Bill Shankley,once, I am the last person to ask regading the gent in the pic !

I may be the minority here but, what is the great attraction of football, I have never understood the fervor that 22 grown men chasing a pigs bladder causes!

Two or three hours out away from SWMBO

I'm with you on this one Stuart. Not much into rugby either and watching cricket is worse than watching paint dry. (sorry Iain). If it has an engine in it, I will watch it.

Only the souped up ones Iain with somebody sitting on it. Very funny to watch.

I sat on the triplex one at the golf course once. Great fun ,but, a modicum of skill is required to keep it running straight !

[MauriceMynah]

I have a sneaking suspicion that you aren't even in a minority with that view Wildfuzz. It seems to me that an endless succession of football contests infect our lives both within and outside the season. No sooner will we have had to endure this one and the World Cup will loom upon us.

Who earned less in their career than some of these earn in a week.

my husband signed for the Arsenal when a teenager but having got an apprecticeship in the print was forced to leave the Arsenal as he couldn't afford to stay. Even though his bosses, who were huge fans of the Arsenal and immensely proud that one of their employees played for them, promised the club he could have all the time off for play, training etc.  that was needed, the club  insisted he  relinquish his apprenticeship. He was forced to leave the club as he couldn't afford to stay, because his earning potential was much bigger in the print. It remains his single biggest regret in life and he feels very strongly that he was born a generation or so  too  early.

Well done England, excellent second half

Grace

[JennyMorgan]

Oh dear, why ever didn't England just get it over & done with by loosing?

[boycee]

Well love him or hate him Rooney had an excellent game today and proved his worth to England regardless of your mockery of his ears. Sorry Ian you sound like a  biased "plastic scouser" whereas I am a genuine born & bred Mancunian. Remember the only ship that has never sailed into Liverpool is The Premiership

I have said this before......I started this thread for a bit of fun and for like minded footie fans to join in, I really didn't mean for it to become a thread for anyone to throw insults or to cause arguments

If the Pesky Mods feel it necessary to delete this topic I would completely understand and will voice my opinions on the Euro's by pm to my friends on here who are interested

Hi Gracie,

The pesky mods won't delete this friendly fred, and there is no arguing that I can see.

If people don't like the topic, don't read it and don't reply to it, simples...

The peeps who YAWN, could start their own thread on BORING subjects like motor vehicles following each other round in circles. 

 

PS.

Well done N. IRELAND first ever win in a major tournament...
