England result
Andy.:
Ooh Richard harsh words there :(
OK not everyones cup of tea, fair enough.
But surely it's good that the recent events in Portugal have united the country so much, thousands watching in cities across the country on big screens, millions more at home.
We should'nt be too quick to knock or mock such national pride and unity.
Or is that only set aside for millions of people dying in WAR :?:

And now they've lost thousands of people will be getting drunk, fighting in the pubs - kicking the metaphorical '7Bells' out of each other & generally making other people suffer (walking home at 02:00 shouting & bawling)
Glad I'm not at work tonight - finished at 22:00, but back at 05:30
Then...... 4days off :D :D
Bro-in-law asked me if I'm going to the 'Rhino Rally' at Tong.
If he gets me a guest-pass, as his mates on the gate I might go

Well there is a small minority that might, and there is no excuse for it, but on the whole most fans behave themselves.
datalas:
the trouble is that whilst they might have been united for the last two weeks they'll immediately revert to the same people they were before it all started, at best it's incredibly fickle.
what really bothers me is that everyone at work is going to be in a really really bad mood, they're going to be tempremental, argumentative and likely spend all day discussing how they were "robbed" on IRC. So, basically they're gonna do sod all work. Yet *somehow* this is acceptable because we lost a football game? It's not like a relative has just died, it's only a game. You don't see me moping around the office yelling "we was robbed" everytime I lose a trial, or get stuck at the weekend.
If you're not prepared to lose, you shouldn't even play.
(this is all IMHO of course, and in some ways an over generalisation, but hey ho as it were. I guess I just don't understand the hysteria :? )
datalas:
anyhooo...
I'm going to keep quiet now, because whilst I don't understand the hysteria some people will be a little upset by this, and I don't want to antagonise them further :cry:
