Ach well phuck that . Phish stat that is.
Fair play to them i was certain they would win but they have blown the Ukraine away,it really did not matter whether it was either of Ukraine or Sweden i fully anticipated their only neutral ground game would be their easiest of the tournament so far.
The Ukrainian route to the quarter final.
Amsterdam Bucharest Bucharest Glasgow Rome.
The English route to the quarter final.
London London London London Rome.
The best team by far have won this game but you really need to ask UEFA how they consider this a neutral tournament on a level playing field.
Our only hope is the Italian's .Quote:

This is back to back tournaments where they’ve been given dream draws. Let’s face it in a semi final you’re expecting to play a France or Argentina or Italy or Brazil or even the Dutch. This lot? Croatia and Denmark. Phucking hell.
All four semi finalists played ALL their group games at home with no travelling. Go figure.
I was in the Ukraine in 2006 with my late father and my 7 year old son during this incident linked below.
https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soc...aine-1.1189930
We had all ran from the square but unfortunately my father fell and dislocated his shoulder and was lying in agony in that square.I had to abandon my son and run back into the carnage and hundreds of Neo Nazis to help him.I honestly feared for my life that night and for the safety of my father and son.
My father was treated in a shytehole of a hospital and they plastered his shoulder and arm and set his shoulder back in place with him almost upside down over a chair with no pain relief,it was totally primitive healthcare to say the least.The doctor was very apologetic when he informed me that i would have to pay for treatment carried out but it was no more than a tenner.
If my father was still alive tonight he would still be routing for Ukraine just as me and my son were and after our experience in Ukraine you maybe wondering why.Its all down to the English media and the many years that 1966 still gets brought up.
It was worse for my father and his generation as 66 was rammed doon their throats for years and years and he FN hated it,his only relief in that time was watching Baxter playing keepie up at Wembley as Scotland ran rings round them in 67.
This is the problem with letting the English clean your nose and wipe your erse you have to accept their TV and media and the sooner Scotland grows a pair the FN better,FACT.
Just to add the EBC news has now been on for this whole post i have the volume muted but for nearly 10 minutes you would think the pandemic was just a dream as its all about the English football team an F all the other nations who pay a licence fee just FN suck it up.
Never ever again in my life will the EBC get an FN farthing fae me,seven years and counting,FACT.
If there was someway to get an independence referendum for around 10.00 pm on the 11th July there's a good chance your wish would come true.Quote:
