Well said Ryan! Covered all the bases there buddy.


Cmurphy -
"You have to earn a right by playing well, winning all (or at least the majority) of your games and being the best team in the tournament."

Lol, so what you're saying is that England never had a right to win it because they what, didnt play well? Who decides if a team has "played well" enough to win the tournament then? I hope its not you anti-English fans or there will never be...another 66'

I think thats a pretty garbage statement to make on cmurphys behalf.

Jim knows the story in ballermorie

And as far as the world cup thread and what should and shouldnt be posted on it is beyond me.

England took part in the competition and so did pretty much every country as there is such a thing called "2010 World cup qualifiers" "Preliminary 2010 World cup qualifiers" So everyone takes part in it and just because you are knocked out doesnt mean you're no longer apart of the biggest event in the world.

Its pretty much the same as saying "South Africa were knocked out, so you cant talk about them" Yet they are hosting the whole shinanigans!

Yeah but Derry...no one is talking about South Africa
So what exactly was your point?

AAAAAAH. ENGLAND R OUT LOL.

Its ok now anyway, bcoz the aim of this thread has been achieved .

Im just shocked that " Ry" would single me out. I actually was cheering england on in all the games they played bcoz i couldnt give a flying duck about all the history. But now im thinkin that people are right. "Ry" singled me out as giving everyone grief when all i done was ask a few times politely for you guys to stop talking about england and their troubles.

So next time before you " Moderators" single people out like you did, think about it. I never said anything bad about england at all, and now im pretty much fuming that someone with as much " Responsibility" would react like that.

And before you say it was in jest, it wasnt, so dont even try it.
Tbh the main problem with " people" on this site is this:

You cannot and will not admit that you are wrong. And basically it's like you saying, " No, your wrong" to everyone.

And what was with the "peggi" quote. Are you insinuating that i am not real?

Singled out like that big peg? lol.

Tbh my point is clear, England 'were' and 'are still apart of the world cup, that is just fact, like all the other teams that participated.

It isnt all about winning you know...you must know..you're scottish oohohhhhhh!!!

Low blow 1-0 to the Derry

Don't be childish now dear
I'm simply saying that if people in the World Cup Thread were talking about all the other teams who have gone out so far it wouldn't be half as bad, but it's only ever about England.
I was trying to be nice when I made this thread, so it could be a place where people come and talk about England to their little hearts content....it seems to have pushed some buttons though...

He's a Moderator not a high Priest calm down, they're allowed to have their say too, just because he's a Moderator doesn't mean he has to sit on the fence.

moan

England are still in the World Cup

Look at the end of the day, we all love eachother and there is no need to argue or have deep discussions of this magnitude!

It could be worse, Virgin Media could of cut you off like they did me! For no bloody reason may I add!

Howard Webb could referee the final

Totally. Im over it anyway, was just angry i got singled out for nothing. But its done, and were all friends so lets leave it.

And yeh virgin have done that to us b4 aswell!!! Bang out isnt it!

On the plus side we got Sky HD today ( oooooooooooo!!) and its class. Cant wait to watch football in HD!!

I never meant to single you out arpeggi. Just used one thing i seen on the world cup thread as an example.

And little peggi, how was what i posted childish? I posted that in sarcasm. Your title, "England are out - moan about it here" seems pretty harsh for someone who just wants to keep the peace. There is nothing wrong with us talking about it on the world cup thead.

You seem to get involved in alot of peoples arguments, hence making the argument bigger. So as a mature non childish moderator i'll say, please behave.

If i made a thread "Scotland didn't qualify - moan about it here" as an English fan, would you be able to let that slide?

OK fair enough man, lets not clutter this thread with the typical " Im right, your wrong" debate.

I see the sarcasm now, its fine, lets move on.

Do i have something to say about the english performance that wont get jumped on. Hmmmmm..... major gaps in the defence, and lack of leadership there aswell????

well you could give us all a break and stop going on about it?

And fair enough England are only celebrating winning the world cup.... In the Year 1966... ITS 2010 thats repetative!

and last but not least we were robbed while we were in control of a game, England were robbed while trailing to a team that eventually won 4-1

Nicko.....



That part is too true!!

now now now

We dont bring up"66" we simply disagree with celebrating a tournament victory that was 44 years ago.

Fair enough i havent come across many people on this site talking about it, but there has been a few, but even if you look at my world cup thread posts i never said people on funkysnooker bring it up 24/7 i said English people in general, yes i know a few that wont stop talking about it, as in English pundits, newspapers, radio broadcasts and stuff like that.

double

Naaaah I don't think so!!


No English person brings it up 24/7 though.

Not at allllllllllll....

And what's wrong with mentioning it during a World Cup anyway?

Bahahha. Do you have one of those chipped boxes? Shame on you!

Ours is still going
