malumbu Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well they do and we don't. Damn cheating continentals eh?! I thought this sort of envy had been exoricised after the 0-4 in South Africa.Apologies for jumping down your throat. I am a bit sensitive at the moment to relations with our good friends in Europe.

malumbu Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just come back from France. I'd posted elsewhere probably on the Brexit thread about my worry of the perfect storm ('Leave' and then seeing England in Paris). I would have happily lived with the second, but at least I didn't have the two.Bit of a dull wet day in Paris, got lost in the rough bit of St Denis and only found the more fun part of town close to the match. Hanging around the stadium two hours before kick off would have been truly awful (about as pleasant as outside of Wembley.Was sitting just behind the Iceland fans who were immense. A great atmosphere around Paris before hand and in the 20 minutes before kick off inside the ground. Dunno what the clapping was about but great fun to join in. Hats off and so sad that France were clinical in the first half, with three goals maybe avoidable. All credit that they kept on going. Lovely stadium too, and brill public transport links.And whilst this may all sound anti-French their fans were good as well, and very rowdy (but good spirited) in town afterwards.I did joke with a few Icelandic fans about nicking our tunes and that they shoud be doing Bjork or the Sugercubes (with my own bad rendition).So much better than how many of our lot would have behaved. There were a few English arses in the Irish pub on the left bank but not great in number. And then on the RER (train) afterwards an arrest. Why is he being arrested I say? Because he was a cnut say his friends and had taunted the police about Agincourt and World War I. I say you should get your history right mate, the value of a secular republic, and that in some respects for the masses winning the battle of Waterloo was not a good thing as the poor paid for it in England (I also said to read up on WWI and II). He says how great the monarchy is, and how we will bounce back with trade deals with the Chinese and Russians. I apologise that many of the older generation has let the younger generation down, and then bade him good wishes as he got off at Gard du Nord to return to his small island, whilst we went onto the great joys of Chatres.So why are so many England fans arses? Would have happily (and disappointed not to have been able to do so) supported the Welsh and Irish. And my biggest cheers was in the Breton pub (in Brittany) seeing Volkes on telly head in the third. As well as James Chester clearly being the best defended in the competition.malumbu Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Hooray - I get to see Ireland vs Iceland in the> quarters.

malumbu Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 A bit of a late posting but what bloody awful kits at the Wales/Portugal match. Wales had to change being the 'away' team, but who on earth decided on the Portugal kit let alone advised them to play in it. And why didn't I watch the more entertaing Murray 5th set instead of the dull first half?At least we had white vs blue tonight.

red devil Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I always thought his initial 3 year contract was too light considering his success at Dortmund. Yes, the average modern manager doesn't hang around for long, but despite this a club has got to have faith in it's manager long term, have a vision/plan etc..

Otta Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Agreed. But that could have been partially down to him wanting to sniff it all out before committing long term.

Totally unqualified usless tub of> lard.Exactly this.Unless as previously discussed it's with nurturing a younger man in mind. Still think Hoddle should have that specific role though.I'd still prefer Klinsmann to any of them though.

Seabag Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 About 15 years ago my father in law was Chief medical officer at the FAI saw a little of how that gravy train rolls along for those on it. It's a great big jolly & they're really not interested in much about the team/managers/winning I don't think, it'd be too much effort, they jiggle along nicely whatever happens, getting fat on the whole thing Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/280/#findComment-1022323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
