I hate football and there is going to be nothing but football, football, football until the world cup has finished. [/rant]
 
agreed; but think of the peace and quiet out on the water when the footie folk are all in the bar shouting In-ger-Land. Fantastic, the sooner the better I reckon and please can In-ger-land (whoever they are) stay in the compettition as long as possible so that I can enjoy the P & Q for as long as possible.
 
Oh how I agree!!! What an utterly dreadful, boring few weeks (months?) we're in for. Luckily, I'm shoving off cruising very soon so will avoid most of the c**p being shoved down our throats.
 
Not into watching footie normally but internationals and especially the World Cup do sometimes get me going. I have my England shirt, England hat and if on the boat a girt great St Georges flag. I get so tired of the 'minor' /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif British nations flaunting their flags, not to mention the wannabees down west, that sometimes it is nice to be proud to be ENGLISH as well as a Brit.


And no, I'm not a BNP supporter or footie hooligan because I fly the flag, I just like to support MY team. Rant over.
 
Think yourself lucky: I booked a weekend in Berlin to go and do a bit of Kulture. In June. Did I know this was the weekend of the final? Did I hell! I just pray that the final is not between England Germany... (not much chance of that, I suppose).
 
Fair enough, but nothing but footie, footie, footie, Beckham, Beckham the Queen of pooftahs and Mrs Beckham is tiresome. I doubt that even Princess Di had as much publicity as 'im wha' misses easy-peazey penal'y kicks.
 
I have managed to get the flat screen tv through the companion way and have fixed it on the bulkhead,do the team think I will have to motor sail or will my windgenny provide enough power to watch the game or should I remain moored up safely in the marina . Worried from Walthamstow.
 
I'm as Robin, but can see that footie is something that winds some of you up so promise not post anything until England have won.

After that, quite frankly my dear, I couldn't give a damn who does and who doesn't like a woo hoo post.
 
Open your toolbox, place your right hand on the biggest hammer you can find. Now begin hitting yourself on the head, and continue until you knock enough sense into yourself, that realise that TVs and boats don't mix.

Once done, clean and replace the hammer and enjoy the sailing.

It could be far worse, it could be cricket or rugby!

Agree the publicity is way OTT and the 'personalities' sometimes don't have a lot but you have to admire their skills just for 90 minutes, not to mention their earning power. I wonder why they don't all retire early and sail around the world?
 
"you have to admire their skills just for 90 minutes"

90 minutes of the most highly paid athletes on the globe (outside of the US maybe) failing to do what they're paid to do which is to score goals. At least with RFU and cricket you get points or runs on the board, instead of 0-0, to be decided by penalty shoot out.

Why don't they just go straight to penalties and spare us the 90 minutes of posturing, diving, histrionics, ref-insulting and general 'oh, sir, my metatarsal hurts' nonsense?
 
You forgot the open-gobbed gum-chewing managers and inevitable spitting if a player notices that the camera is on him.
 
Is the best thing for Enger-land to be knocked out as soon as possible or is the "we were robbed" situation worse than the "we can win" situation? Had some enthusiasts returning on the ferry last Thursday, they were still loudly going on about Arsenal's loss in Paris when being pushed down the gang plank but I expect they would have still been going on about a win if it had happened. I think we are screwed whatever happens. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
All we've got are big St George flags and vocal soccer supporters, the other countries in the Union govern us whilst under Labour - we don't have a say in governing them.
