Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 24 Jun 24 - 12:46 PM trolls , how childish, to attack over a typo. |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Raggytash Date: 24 Jun 24 - 01:18 PM Oh the irony!! Actually my parents were in the Iron and Steel Industry, my Mum took in ironing and my Dad went out stealing. |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 24 Jun 24 - 02:36 PM how about discussing the football match ,if you are not interested in doing that, please leave this thread to anyone who may be interested in it |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Tattie Bogle Date: 24 Jun 24 - 07:58 PM Although I am Scottish, I think my friend and I spent the evening more profitably playing a few tunes together. Checked into the scores couple of times 0-0 most of the way through until that final Hungarian kick! Disappointed with my country’s showing in all 3 matches. |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 25 Jun 24 - 02:16 AM playing music is good ,i did the same and just checkedperiodically,but was watching when the disallowed penalty happened. will england win tonight |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Rain Dog Date: 25 Jun 24 - 03:59 AM Scotland are a poor team. They tried their hardest but were simply not good enough. I heard on the radio yesterday that they only had a total of 3 shots on target in all 3 games. On another day they might have been awarded a penalty. Better luck next time. |

Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 25 Jun 24 - 10:11 AM i thought scotland hungary were equally mediocre, so one all draw imo would have been apt, it was certainly a penalty |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: cujimmy Date: 26 Jun 24 - 06:13 AM Both Irish teams and Wales have done really well at tournaments over the years, and their leagues are not as strong as the Scottish league. They all have some good players bu appart from Gareth Bale no-one world class. So I was hoping and expecting Scotland to do better this time. We had Norwiches goalkeeper and centre half, Watfords center half, a CH playing in S Arabia, Southamptons centre forward - not bad players but not good enough for the Premier League. But that is what Wales and the Irish teams have been excelling with for a long time. I think the managers tactice were very poor, why did he bring Morgan (a mand who has been out injured a long time up untill recently) on as a substitute when Forrest ( a player who has scored 106 goals for Celtic) was sitting there, and why play Kenny McClean at LB late on, he plays midfield for Norwhich. I think with we could have beaten Hungry 2-0 or similar. |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: G-Force Date: 27 Jun 24 - 11:22 AM There's a nice joke going round: Gareth Southgate (in an Eric Morecambe voice): 'Listen, Sunshine. I'm picking all the right players. But not necessarily in the right positions.' |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 01 Jul 24 - 05:46 PM enjoyable match, portugal tonight taken to penalties |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Dave the Gnome Date: 02 Jul 24 - 09:30 AM England were very lucky not to have lost on Sunday. |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 02 Jul 24 - 10:23 AM YES I Agree |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Georgiansilver Date: 02 Jul 24 - 11:16 AM If Gareth Southgate picks his best team, instead of his pals, England might just stand a chance. |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: G-Force Date: 03 Jul 24 - 04:09 AM England were playing so badly on Sunday, I was beginning to think they must have forgotten to apply for postal votes. |

Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: meself Date: 07 Jul 24 - 10:57 AM I hadn't been following, but just noticed that the Canadian team beat Venezuela in some 'Americas' competition. Not long ago, that would have been unthinkable. I was there about twenty-five years ago when Canada played the second-string Australian team to a tie, and Canadian soccer/football fans were ecstatic. Give us another twenty-five years or so, and - look out world! |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: keberoxu Date: 07 Jul 24 - 09:21 PM I believe that's the Copa America you're talking about, and the US got eliminated from it this past week -- too bad. And a little embarrassing since the US is going to be one of the World Cup hosts next time. |

Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Dave the Gnome Date: 09 Jul 24 - 05:32 AM I shall miss Wednesday's game due to playing my new concertina for a dance out with the Morris side. Just as well. I don't think my nerves could stand another England game! |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 10 Jul 24 - 01:12 AM spain france was good to watch |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Dave the Gnome Date: 10 Jul 24 - 02:52 PM Morris dancing rained off. Nerves about to be shredded again... |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 10 Jul 24 - 03:51 PM e ngland playing well |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Dave the Gnome Date: 10 Jul 24 - 03:56 PM I was wondering who had replaced the old England team with this one :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: The Sandman Date: 10 Jul 24 - 04:00 PM definite penalty studs raised no contact with ball |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Dave the Gnome Date: 10 Jul 24 - 05:19 PM I thought so too. Dangerous play. Well deserved in any case. IMO |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Dave the Gnome Date: 14 Jul 24 - 12:26 PM I have some Greene King IPA and a couple of Tapas dishes for the match. Ready for anything :-D |
Subject: RE: BS: euros football From: Raggytash Date: 14 Jul 24 - 02:16 PM Galway are into the All Ireland Gaelic Football Championship after beating Donegal in a brilliant and quote close match this afternoon. This will give them a a chance to lift the Sam Mcguire trophy in a match against Armagh on the 28th |
