Where’s the unprovoked violence…! I’m missing the chairs being thrown and England fans being blamed for everything…!

;)

On a serious note, I think we could learn a little about fan behaviour. Is it just a coincidence that the absence of alcohol at games means zero trouble?
England's following is like Dad's Army this time. Younger people just can't afford it. All the "lads" will be saving themselves for the Euros in Germany in 18 months time.

Its been great fun to watch

The key is not to forget how it ended up being there, what the regime did to build the stadiums and why they did it

Most of the Eng fans out there are ex pats /people working in the Emirates , Saudi ,etc , though they do look a bit Darby and Joan .

You don't know much about football so please keep off this thread. All you do is **** people off.
You’ve been here barely a week, I don’t think you’re in any position to critique a long standing poster on this forum who is respected by many including me

Completely wrong. How long somebody has been a member means absolutely nothing.
It doesn't mean anything

But registering a week ago and launching an attack straight away just gives you away

It is beyond weird

But it is indicative of a poster who has been banned recently or another poster who has has many many usernames. You’re all tiresome and bring the forum into disrepute so I’ll report you now and add you to the foe list

I'll explain to you what's weird

1. Somebody who has cycled past me numerous times and can't even raise a smile you miserable sod - you look like you need a divorce
2. Never smiles - always has a frown on his face
3. Doesn't understannd humour. Good god, if I ever had to spend time with you in the pub I think I'd kill myself
4. There is no 4. You're enough to make people want to kill themselves
5. SMILE!!!!

You are the weird one.

MOD: One month ban handed out to burnleychris for off-topic and frankly, unnecessary remarks towards LancasterClaret. Please avoid continuing this line of discussion. Thanks

MOD 2 : Being as burnleychris has just returned from the one month ban, I gave him, I have made the exclusion permanent.

I always said I wouldn't go, but currently return flights are under £500, I could be tempted with a quick in and out at weekend depending on ticket prices, and availability

Like most WC’s it’s been good fun with some cracking games , upsets etc . Gotta say I’ve been impressed by the reffing ( not often you can say that ) and looks to be run very smoothly . Sure ,atmosphere a bit sterile but it’s hardly “ football country “

The refereeing has been really good, only been a couple of iffy penalties and they have been really cautious with the yellow and red cards, and the players have responded really positively to that

It was muchacho/Factual Frank’s latest incarnation. And yes, he does need professional help.

Anyway, all sorted, well done mods.

World Cup has been ok but is missing something in terms of atmosphere and general vibe. Which was always going to be the case when you plonk the WC here, but it’s enjoyable all the same.

It's almost ten years since Muchacho set up a Twitter account pretending to be me and sent out threats to someone I quite like. You have to admire the commitment to the bit.

There really needs to be a crackdown on the same few troublemakers setting up new accounts when banned. Surely a measure can be put in place?

I was accused of being a few different folk I'd never heard of when I 1st came on here 4 years ago 🤣🤣🤣

But must admit I mistrust 'new' user names especially when they start onto one or two folk on here (who can be a tad overbearing but live and let live on the whole 😉) ...

No. What you do is educate people. If somebody kicks up a fuss, you educate those people who are complaining.

If you fix those people, you fix the rest.

England’s attacking play is among the best at the tournament.
Penalty shoot outs will now start to decide which teams get to the Final and will be another big obstacle for England to overcome.
Generally I’m enjoying the tournament more than reading posts from the clique that is spoiling this message board

Things to look out for in a new user’s first few posts;

1.) Passive aggressive behaviour
2.) Declaring a hatred for Leeds United
3.) Unsolicited personal abuse
4.) Declarations that poster x is a ‘good poster’
5.) An extremely misplaced obsession with intelligence

This reminds me of a reddit post a while back where a guy's girlfriend wanted him to talk dirty to her, but he was unsure of himself and didn't know what to say, and so he's getting frisky with her and he's scrambling for something to say, and he goes, "yeah, you like that, don't you, you f.ucking retard" :lol: :lol: :lol:

It’s been a great World Cup. I’ve enjoyed the World Cup being in Qatar, the time of the matches is great. The positives of the culture has been great to see as well.

I’ve loved the under dogs winning. I expect Morocco to beat Spain tomorrow if I’m honest.

It’s probably been the most enjoyable World Cup for England in my lifetime as well.

Wife "What do you want from me then..."

Husband "well you could move around and moan a bit..."

Wife ...a few minutes later ... wriggled her hips "I wish you'd paint this bloody ceiling"

Agree with you on Morocco beating Spain, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Switzerland beat Portugal as well.

I think Spain have been really poor so far. Only managed to beat a poor Costa Rica.

Morocco look a really strong team. Think they could potentially be the team we play in the semi final if we beat France.

The one big downside is I think FIFA will see this break in the domestic football calendar as a positive and it'll be used to break up the season on a regular basis to fit in a few mini tournaments.

I can see Brazil are half decent, but there's an overreaction from all the pundits.
They seem to want to regard every pass and move as somehow breathtaking, but its not.
I can see england taking them apart quite easily .

Totally agree I try and blank commentators out but Ally McCoist last night was embarrassing thought he was going to have an orgasm.And while on the same subject that Sam Whatsisface don't half tell us crap we don't need to know eg. Maguire and Stones drink a lot of tea

Roy Keane needs to cheer up just enjoy the footy Roy and stop being such a miserable blighter.

Brazil should be awarded the SCD crown after last night's moves. That's what the World Cup should encompass and it's great to see players enjoying their footy.
