England - They've Only Gone And Done It

Hopefully they can do it without a "fan" pointing a laser at the oppositions eyes.....yet another reason why I can't stand football. I wish them all the best but try and do it while staying on your feet and not diving at every given opportunity

 

Thus hates everyone?

My cat does - unless you have treats. It eats them and then reverts to hating you (me).

Edit: my cat probably hates you too, just don’t take it personally.

 

No, she (my real grey cat that is, not the similar-looking one yawning in the photo) is very affectionate and doesn't hate anybody, but she does share my complete lack of interest in football and who wins... Her life's mission is to rid Galloway of mice, an interest I do not particularly share (at least not to her level of commitment).

 

Clever cat. I wasn’t even aware George had a rodent infestation issue.

 

He may well have, but the main problem seems to be every election being infested by George:
One good thing about cats is that none of them would stoop so low as to impersonate George Galloway...

 

Would expect nothing else from you, unlike most other British fans who support all the home nations irrespective of their country of origin you guys seem to buck that trend.

 

Don't be a dick, Wessa - can't you tell that was tongue in cheek, and I was just teasing? I shan't be cheering anybody on, because I don't care about football, but I wish England well.

 

Ok I might have been a bit sensitive there,so apologies if I missed the joke. I'm just a bit tired of the England bashers north of the boarder who continue to knock England when they have done so well to get to the final of a major competition. For me if Scotland or any of the other nations had made it I would most definitely have been supporting them as one of the home nations.

 

Apology accepted. I agree that England have done well to get so far. I won't mention the one team that they failed to beat...
But while some of my best friends are English, I still prefer to watch submarine racing.

 

Yes, it's nail biting. Will it go into extra time, or will someone torpedo their chances of promotion by taking a dive?

 

Don't beat yourself up too much Wessa. Lets not be too harsh on the Scots, they've so far supported 5 different teams in the finals and have not seen a win.

 

They do have Andy Murray though. Unfortunately he's a right miserable git with no sense of humour. Otherwise, he would have called his daughter Ruby.

 

Do you mean the Andy Murray who is Scottish when he wins and British when he loses? Yep a right miserable git.

 

Spent more time reading through this thread than I have (or ever will) watching "poofball"
You have totally changed my perception of football supporters, to my surprise you are actually very sensitive individuals

 

Damned inconsiderate to have such a late kick-off, it'll be dark by the time I get back from my ride.

 

Believe it or not I've just watched the 1966 final for the 1st time! it has been transformed into colour, great game, proper footballers with none of the cheating antics of todays so called footballers.

Edit i never realized they were wearing red shirts

 

Ha Ha it's always the other way round.. English commentators at Wimbledon!

 

Of course the main problem for the England team is the cheating diving Italians who will be trying to get free kicks, yellow cards and penalties at any opportunity. Are the Argies related?

 

It's lovely to see how sport leads to such an increase in respect and friendship between nations...
