Obsession

Have your say? _ Why not start a negative thread? Did anyone party poop the Stanley Cup thread? They might have done, I thought it best to let the fans enjoy it! It would maybe be good if football fans had a thread where they could discuss it the world cup without people party pooping. But it's no big deal. Fire away. Its a 64 game, month long competition. You can't judge it after 2 days Apart from that, if you don't understand group stages, points , and tactics, then please don't ask me to explain it One of lifes mysteries. Why do so many non football fans watch the sport??? I re

By the time you add drinking costs, it's a lot of money.

I see the USA brought on a Scot, late in the game. I think Should have brought him on earlier and humped the sassenachs

Don't bother trying to explian the game to party poopers. Not everybody gets it. Just hundreds of millions. It's a thinking mans game. Some people will never get it. Just let them party poop That noise if feckin anoying and kills the atmosphere. You can't hear the crowd excitement buiding or singing or chanhting. Just that annoying buzzing

Half the signatories of the original US Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, three quarters of all US presidents from George Washington to George W. Bush have had Scottish roots and Canada's Father of Confederation and first Prime Minister was a Scot from Glasgow, Sir John A. Macdonald.

Americans copied English from..................Have a wild guess Joe!!!!!!!! The Scots have their own way of pronouncing some English. It's obviously wrong. Just as some of the American ways are wrong. I think we stick to all the correct spelling though.

Yes. That is what I have said many times to, Pastry. They may have been born and brought up in the UK, but they still see themselves as Indian or Pakistani. A France v African nation final would be ludicrous. They should call it an African victory, even if France won. ----------------------------------- I was dismayed that Inter Milan didn't have any Italians in it. Chelsea have more Italians.

Says Brains You have just been found out, that you don't even understand your won sports, on the other thread You always did have to resort to typos And yes. Ask anyonwe if you got your ass kicked on many threads. You even ran away on your own thread The Scots. They invented the modern world and everything in it, as an American recently wrote. And the Americans had a Scottish captain in their national side when they kicked English ass

It was Nids mob that invented the language . It's obvious that their way of spelling, must be the correct way:allright

I thought Gordon Banks was the goalkeeper? I think that international sport is becoming a joke. The Germans have a Pole playing for them. The English have an Italian manager. The French are mostly African immigrants. I wouldn't take any pride in a Scottish team that had cheated by playing "Scots" with only tenuous links to Scotland. The Scottish manager is checking out players from everywhere to see if they have distant Scottish relatives That's scraping the barrel.

How many "immigrants" were in the team that won in 66 ? Hmmmmm, sounds like the team has got worse since mass immigration!

Wrong again Vic Pleae tell me what was rude about................. Stop being so prissy and thin skinned You started the whole thing , when you posted that churlish " soccer sucks, fuck the premiership" thread. You set the tone. And have got your ass kicked on every sports thread since. Yoy can't win. You picked one of the very few things that America isn't excellent at. YOu couldn't even shoot fish in a barrel It's even came out that you don't even know your own sports

Oh yeah. I forgot to say. Edinburgh milkman.........Sir Sean ( it's ok to give your mrs a backhander) Connery

Tim Rice worked with UglyFuck. I forget his name. I should have known you would know your cross dressers!!!!! I remember. Andrew Loyd Webber.

You sure? Would it have sold today? Was it in Bkk? If you had invested UK, all those years ago and sold 2 years ago, you would probably have made more, and the money wouldn't be stuck in los. Timing is everything. But those were boom years. Not so now. Time for safe havens.

Huh Are you trying to say that you are bumping the fine actor, Tim Rice........because his surname is served with a curry?????????

Tim Rice

No offence. That's a bit mental. What about after the ascen****. It's guesswork. Civil unrest? Ownership? Any country that refuses entry to an elected PM, is unpredictable for the average guy. As Owen has pointed out. It's a new situation on world finances. You are merely guessing. Now look at the UK. You can get property at bargain prices. With the welfare system. You could pretty much guarantee that it will be rented out permanently. No worries about ownership, ash clouds, strikes, civil unrest, airport closures. imho, investment in Thai propoerty , makes no sense, whatsoever. ---

I know someone with condos in Pattaya and Bkk. They have many void periods. That would obviously hammer the return.

What makes you think the USA will need help from a ref. They have two Glasgow Rangers players. Nuff said Heard a bit on the radio about the French team "splitting along racial lines"!!!! Have you heard anything about that?

You don't have an argument. Just a series of sour grapes and ignorance. We don't mention your diddy sports until you start. They are an irrelevence in world sports. Get this through your head Vic. Nobody cares about your sports. They are the same as our girls sports. Get over it.

Good summation. Faby is getting sussed as overated. Non English knew aleady. But the pundits are on to him. He doesn't seem to have his best team sussed out yet. And he took Dafoe, who has been out of form since his back injury. Robben is out, I think. Pity, as he is good to watch. No mention of Germany?

No. I beat you to it

Ok. I see what you mean. Quite an expensive gadget then, if you already have a laptop. Is all the your stuff put on it via USB? I wonder if the 2 million people needed one?

I don't . I'm just pointing out that Brits aren't the only people who sometimes get vexed. Listing more people who get it wrong, means nothing. If you don't want corrected when getting anything wrong, just say.It's no problem. Some people like to be educated. Some like to keep gettingstuff wrong. Up to you.
