MalcolmW Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Correct. It's like the winners of the championship playing the winners of the prem to decide who wins outright. It's bollocks The Charity Shield in early years was played between the Football League champions and the Southern League champions. Furthermore in 1909 Newcastle United won the league by beating runners-up (E*****n) on Easter Monday (12th April). Their final week was a bit hectic. The season ran from 1st September to 30th April in those days, so as not to interfere with the cricket season. On Satuday 24th they won 4-2 at Blackburn, Monday 26th lost 3-0 at Villa, Wednesday 28th beat Northampton Town in the Charity Shield at Stamford Bridge, Friday 30th lost at home to Liverpool 0-1. This result enabled Liverpool to escape relegation amp drop Manchester City, who had never been in the bottom two places all season, even after losing their last match on the 28th. Ha Ha.
DirtySanchez Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Worth a re run of this Knocked unconscious, teeth knocked out and damaged vertebrae And the ref gives a goal kick
Didledee Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Last time Germany played the hosts in a semi final, they won 7-1. 1-0 to France, late winner 88th minute
Matt Lofthouse Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Which bollock would like stamping on first? I'll go the left one (Germany).
frank_spencer Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I'm routing for the Krauts. This for me will decide the winner of the trophy as both teams should comfortably beat Portugal. Once the knock out rounds were finalised it was pretty obvious which side the eventual winners would come from
bgoefc Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Fascinating game, first 8 mins all France then all Germany for the following 15. Germany looking like the world champs they are.
frank_spencer Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 State of that fanzone then hahaBeer everywhere.Chucking around is about all calsberg is good for though.
SalfordOriginal Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Wouldn't fancy having to fight my way through the crowds carrying four pints back to where I was stood
frank_spencer Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Pissed up French guy falling over and dragging those around him down with him raised a chuckle.
Marc505 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Ill be in that on sunday. Proper dustbox when its dry that
bgoefc Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Enjoyed that. Germany did not score when on top. Dubious pen but France had the better chances. Germany weak up front reminded me of England, could get to the box but nothing thereafter. Edited July 7, 2016 by bgoefc
Didledee Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Germany gave away both goals in an entertaining game, Portugal need something special.
jules_darby Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Fascinating game, first 8 mins all France then all Germany for the following 15. Germany looking like the world champs they are.One of the better games of the tournament I thought that
Biggish Dave Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I can't be doing with the French. Hope they get stuffed in the final but Ronaldo gets injured - not that I will be watching any of it
Alf Hartigan Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Aye, good game that, don't think the Final is done and dusted as others seem to. Grudging respect for Portugal.
Whites man Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Knocked unconscious, teeth knocked out and damaged vertebrae And the ref gives a goal kick Sounds like the Bolton Sunday League back in the day.
bgoefc Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Sounds like the Bolton Sunday League back in the day. Nah, played in 79/80. twas a walk in the park compared to Salford sunday league we played in 77/78. No refs and bruisers who had only been out of the boozer for 6 hours.
MalcolmW Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Aye, good game that, don't think the Final is done and dusted as others seem to. Grudging respect for Portugal. Well they did beat Wales and draw with Iceland.
bgoefc Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 The Germans reckon the expansion to 24 teams has resulted in too many minnow teams putting 10 men behind the ball and has lowered the quality. I was in favour of 24 but having watched most of the games I think they have a point.
gonzo Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Aye the fact you can win only one game and get to the final is complete bollocks.
frank_spencer Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 The small size of the euros in previous years lead to some cracking games. I remember reading an article 4yrs ago bemoaning the fact that the increase in teams would reduce the quality
Alf Hartigan Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Aye the fact you can win only one game and get to the final is complete bollocks. Taking it you're not counting pens as a win. By that theory you could win the World Cup without winning a game.
