The-Architect 0 Posted June 24, 2004 I am half English so half of me is sad. However my good Welsh side is keeping me sane. If I were full English, then I'd be Sausages, Black Pudding, Beans, Bacon, Toast, Fried Egg etc, etc, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted June 24, 2004 @ June 24 2004,23:46)] @ June 24 2004,22:39)]We've been there before.. We know how it feels.. It's just that we should have won that game 2-1 FAIR AND SQUARE.. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with that last minute goal.. It's well out of order  I'm not bitter towards Portugal, just the dodgy referee. IN fact I hope you get to meet France in the final, have that referee and get all the french players sent off. like grabbing Ricardo in the neck so he couldnt grab the ball isnt foul? what game were u watching? not even in rugby can u tackle someone in the neck, wise up my dear sir, you are out fair and square  But it was an excellent match, both teams rocked. Excuse me.. John Terry's eye was on the ball.. How the hell do you do headers? You HAVE to raise your arm.. It was a perfectly legal goal in everyones opinion.. Obviously not yours as you won. The referee cost us - simple as that. To be fair mate, even in England it would be given only in 50-70% of the times. In other leagues, it would not be given, and in tournaments also. Goals have been disallowed for far less. It was a bad call, but one that can be understood. Very harsh though, thats football. Don't let that put you down though, you played brilliantly and the game was on the razor's edge most of the time. Like I said, you went down with all guns blazing, its not too bad a way to go down.

I deleted it - we have no rules against insulting heads of state, I put it down to the typical post-match emotions and gave him the benefit of the doubt. From his subsequent posts it was clear that he was out to cause trouble, hence he was given a PR until Monday and 2WL for flame baiting. I'd like to point out that this is about as tough as one can be punished for flame baiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JdB 151 Posted June 24, 2004 It's just that we should have won that game 2-1 FAIR AND SQUARE.. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with that last minute goal.. The Swedes were doing alot worse things when Ibrahimovic equalised against Italy, 2 defenders were pulled to the ground, and the keeper was brushed aside. And that ref should never be allowed to lead any game anymore. They might as well have picked a random Portugese supporter from his chair, and put him in charge. He would probably have given less free kicks to Portugal then that Meier did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Yeah, I was considering which was right for a while. "Queen of England" sounded much better than "Queen of Britain", but of course you're right - Charles is "Prince of Wales" etc Well, thanks for the correction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey Lib Front 10 Posted June 24, 2004 Why the hell was Rooney Booked? for god sake we was injured by the guy stepping down his back leg which looked rather sus, No way was was that not a goal, both players jumped fairly, they did not climb on the goal keeper nor did they flail, they just jumped as any footballer going for a header does o and dont get me on the side in which the penalty was taken from it more like fucking Chu Pong Massif than a flat penalty spot.

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted June 24, 2004 1) Any more flame baiting of any type will result in PRs until Monday, perhaps permanent. I don't care if its written down, or a picture (looks at Monkey ) 2) Touching and obstructing the goalie in his 6 yard box means interruption of play and free kick - its in the rules, read it yourself. 3) There won't be any riots, maybe the odd dozen idiots, but that will be it. The myth of the English hooligan is just that - a myth. If you want hooligans, go to Italy, Turkey or Greece. 4) If you are pissed off, take a chill pill and think twice before pressing that submit button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey Lib Front 10 Posted June 24, 2004 Come down, are you drunk? What's your problem? My problem is although we lost i feel we were robbed by very Bad refereeing, these guys are supposed to be the best in the world, he was more like conference than world class.
