    I'm creating this thread so that all football quips & quotes can all be placed into one convenient place for me to ignore. I'd hate to have to stop reading the Chat thread due to an influx of Soccer.

    Good Luck Ireland!

    From what I can gather in the endless conversations in the office we just bought Gordon Banks and then a plane crashed somewhere but Maradona lived to become a priest.

    Er, right. OK. Puts mod hat on slightly tilted. So how you gonna handle this OG. Are soccer and related words now banned in the waiting room, like B*** N** and B**** ? Just so I know who to red card... :-)

    Sounds about right. Red carding someone is footballish jargon right? Don't think we'll Ban anyone unless I'm really badly hungover and in a bit of a mood. We'll just move any fooballastic posts in here and ignore them forevermore.

    So, just what is the onside rule?

    I will be watching some of the games, and those I miss I will be regaled with the goings-on on the pitch. I will be interested in the quarter finals, semi finals and the (Hallejuah) final but will be so tense I will have to leave the room and pace up and down in another room. This is just what I do every four years.

    There is a desperate amount of noise coming from the sitting room tv. Cheering and shouting and stuff. I wish your man would put his hearing aids in.

    Anyone remember these competitions in the Sunday Press and Sunday Independent in the 1960's and 1970's? They were extremely popular. They showed a photo of a GAA match with the ball removed and you had to guess the position of the ball by placing an X at the spot and send in your entry. You could improve your chances by placing multiple X marks, accompanied by extra entry money, of course. Entered loads of times but never won a sausage!

    What it has started already:eek:

    Hopefully the good weather will kick in for the next few weeks and that will distract The Rooster from the football, and I won't have to listen to "very interesting" football facts.

    I remember doing those competitions when I was a kid. I thought they were soccer though but I could be wrong. Never knew you had to send in money with it - oooh, that's why I never won a bean! :o

    Ireland are struggling a bit against Argentina, 1/2time it's 10-9.

    Hope the second half is better.










    ( Krap, wrong forum, I'm talking Rugby, wonder if anyone will notice )
