Is right Jess.

i dont agree mate, they seemed to buy into the whole thing, im not ready to demonise an entire sport

Not demonising football at all, but as I posted earlier, is so much easier supporting these grounded athletes than the England team, full of adulterers, cheaters, whiners, money grabbing blerts.

Don't get me wrong 90% of football is great, its the 10% who ruin it by acting the way they do.

 

[davek]

ffs davek your proletarian vanguard just lost on penalties

more rich people please

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Gulag #34 is being prepared for that lot.

There's a massive difference: those lads would have to be acknowledeged as overcoming tremendous odds to achieve, not so the other way around.

It's entirely your choice who you want to give support to. You see a british vest and think that's ok whoever's in it. Me, I'm not remotely patriotic and so I go with characters I can at least identify with...funnily enough that doesn't happen to be the shooting and rowing Oxbridge elite who wouldn' piss on you or me if we were on fire.

Totally respect your opinion mate but I don't know anything about the long jumper or what his life has involved , I'd imagine it's been easier than some but we shouldnt always assume. I heard an interview with a rower before (I think from the men's 8?) saying how two in his boat including himself were from council estates. I think certainly with the rowers watching the effort they put in , all nationalities , where rowers couldn't get out of boats and a pole I think had to be wheeled to the rostrum deserve massive resoect whatever their social class. Discrimination is forming an opinion of people based on stereotypes and that applies to whatever race or class they are

I'd happily piss on you Dave, though I'm not a rower.

I'm not into that stuff mate. Thanks for the offer like.

 

[Phenom]

All the jacks I know are really sound

My bro is a STH he's a [Poor language removed] when it comes to footie all the lads I know thought they had a right to finish above us this year.

That away for me was so sweet, U NO UNDESTAND.

I will still be pissed about the footy tomorrow. Purely for selfish reasons though.

GB at Wembley in the semis would have been ace.

I'm bummed about it. Hope that's understandable.

I prefer the term 'rule of thumb'.

Completely, mate.

Should still be a good game, though. I've watched both korea and brazil live this tournament and I'd say it should be pretty open.

Hope so. Think I get both semis. No idea who is even in the other one? Mexico and someone?

Aye, cheer up iggy lid. You'll get to see a more entertaining game now at least.

That is true. Alot of Jacks think they know everything about footy and have a better appreciation now because they can pass a little.

 

[bluejock]

Lads, just so's you know, CLH in 12 minutes.

 

[RFUS]

Wait they cut out. Don't we get to see Mo on the podium?!

 

[Kurt.]
