Graham M Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Don’t like football. I have been sickened over the years with all the violence that goes with it…and then some apologetic government minister sticking up for the nightmare that we have to endure every football season. Last year I listened incredulously as one of Blair’s mouth-pieces declared that – “You can’t punish thousands of law-abiding fans because of the actions of a couple of hundred troublemakersâ€. Did I hear correctly Didn’t this lot do just that very same thing after Dunblaine when 57,000 innocent, law-abiding pistol shooters had their sport destroyed, their property confiscated and their characters assassinated. And all because of ONE lunatic, who should never have been allowed to own a gun in the first place. I will always support our national side, but I won’t be going into raptures over whether they win or not. Seems to me though, that it’s better to win having played poorly, than to play brilliantly …..and lose. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Highlander where are your team? Sitting at home eating Haggis thats where And we will be for some time to come given the sad state of Scottish football . I'm sick of hearing the ususal "it's because we're a small nation" nonsense. There's no end of teams out there from less populous countries who are much better at fitba than us Scots. But the SFA continue to do SFA Who will I be supporting? England! I don't get the people up here who would rather support Italy or Germany or anybody over England. If they are bothered by the nonsense the commentators talk then they should turn the volume down. But it is interesting to count the number of 1966 or "England expects." comments! Would we be any different if we had won the world cup? I don't think so.

Lord Geordie Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 The Match between Netherlands -V- Cote d'Ivoire was a LOT more entertaining than the England matches England are playing like a poorly prepared rabble and deserve to lose if their gameplay does not improve Was good to see the Yanks get stuffed in the first game too Not that i like footy i actually normally can't stand it but as it's a WORLD cup i try to catch them LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
