LEO Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Watched the game against Moldovia yesterday and thought most of the established players were toothless.By comparison Scotland appeared to have played 90 minutes with guns blazing ,beating France in the process.Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 France ( World cup finalists this year ) were beaten by a British team but, because it was not England who beat them , nobody else on this forum wants to comment;BAD SPORTS Ps. Congratulations to Scotland for what has got to be amongst the best British sporting victories this year. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Leo - have a look at the Total France forum. In the Postbox section under Discrimination.You'll find some support there. We never watched it - too busy watching rugby.Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongebob Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Ten years ago, I'd have supported whichever UK country played , AND Eire too.Now, I won't support the Jocks, after many of their supporters' disgraceful attitude towards England in last year's World Cup[:(]Spongebob.

Alexis Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I watched it.France were very, very unlucky to not be allowed their first four goals. Not their fault they were in the wrong spot at the wrong time.Scotland seemed to need a steadying hand every few minutes the way they held on to the French side. Then, all of a sudden, their elbows would jerk up into the French sides faces and then their legs would go from under them and accidentally trip the French side up.Then, because of their bad memories, they couldn't explain their actions to the ref. (and wasn't HE cute???)Scotland must have some maladie or other. Mad Footballer's Disease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

united Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Leo,Moldova had a 2 2 draw with Bosnia-H'govina I did not see the game but it must have been better than England's game with Macedonia. Scotland's win was historic and Scottish fans were in great form at the Ceilidh I attended on Saturday night. I was not certain who to support with both my adopted countries playing.Roll on the next games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I just resent a comment that because I didn't instantly post to congratulate all Scots on the success of their team, that I am a BAD SPORT. Or is that another case of intended, but not expressed very well, irony? Or just paranoia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Sorry, it was your second post in which you said that we were bad sports because we weren't queuing up to congratulate Scotland on beating France. Not sour at all, then, so that's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 That wasn't an apology, it was verbal irony.So I'll assume that the irony was accepted, yes?How about you answer my point instead of pretending it was all a joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Leo, take it from me, as a Moderator, that 5 hours is not a long time here. Some posts are never answered. Thats life, members are volunteers, we can't make them post.[:)]With my moderator hat off - I agree with the person who wondered why we should all rush to congratulate the Scots when they take a delight it telling the English that they always support our opponents........support and congratulations are a two way street.

The Riff-Raff Element Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Does anyone else remember that World Cup first round match(oooohhhh...may have been 1998 - couldn't swear, but someone here willknow) between the USA and Iran? The US captain turned up to the centrecircle with a farty little pendant to hand over and the Iranian captainturned up with half the contents of a carpet warehouse, solid-goldjewel-encrusted desk tidies and a fist full of vouchers entitling theholder to 50% off at "Ali's Kebab & Couscous - Serving the FinestFood in Downtown Tabriz Since 1975"?This conspicuous display of hospitality by the Iranians turned the pubI was in into their staunchest supporters for the next 90 minutes. Ithink that they won 2-0 and (as an Englishman) it was a pleasantnovalty to be shouting for the winning side for once.I had a point when I started this...nope! Gone.
