Ayatollah Hermione 12733 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Not long yet and it can't come too soon considering how boring the past 3 days have been without proper football on. To start us off, here's a brilliant site showing, in scary detail, how ITV used to present international tournaments of the past http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carousel/ITV/Internationals.html Now, we're facing a summer of Adrian Chiles and Andy Townshend. Joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13804 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Bayern Munich play Holland for some reason tonight. No doubt punishing Robben for missing that penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34151 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Italy's camp has been raided by coppers investigating match fixing. Domenico Criscito's room searched and he's been informed he's being investigated. 11 players arrested but these aren't in the Italy squad. Dodgy bunch.

Tom 13804 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hillarious if Juventus lost the Scudetto. Their fans are already creating graphics with three stars on it - to signify 30 league titles - despite the fact that it's their 28th. They've got form for it, match fixing, drug taking etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12733 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Panorama on BBC1 in a minute about the racism in Poland and Ukraine on the football terraces. Did anyone watch this? I'm certain not all Polish/Ukrainian fans are like that but the mental ones are MENTAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yeah I've just watched it, seems incredible that they've been given the competition. The police chief trying to claim the nazi salute was just 'pointing' was just embarrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3954 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Apart from the attack on the Asian lads which was terrible, the rest was just typical bbc hype. Obviously there are a lot of scum there but the reporters naive shock was laughable. I do however think it was wrong to give them the finals as they are dodgy countries on a few levels.

Happy Face 29 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The violence wasn't as surprising as the complete indifference of the stewards/police. I'm sure they'll be more competent at the Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only countries you can trust are the Scandi's and the dutch. There's something annoying, corrupt or backward about virtually any other country you can think of on this side of the world, Ukraine, Poland, Russia, they all epitomise that. I remember talking to this Estonian kid in hustler pool haal in the toon, me and me mate, played him and his mate and asked him if he'd seen Rocky 4, and what he thought about Ivan Drago. When I broke, I said "YOU WILLLL LOOOOOOOSE" like Drago, and he just looked at me with a blank expression like I was a cunt. That sums them up for me. Is anyone from this board going? I went to France 98 and Euro 2000, I won't go to another tournament till England players show they're proud to play for their country and aren't spoilt little arseholes.
