I am so afraid Germany beats Greece, England beats Italy, and England upsets Germany. I might never acknowledge England again after the CL final.

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #541 on:** June 19, 2012, 08:23:07 PM »

Don't worry - it's Greece vs Italy in the semi so neither england nor germany fans need get too carried away

I would honestly prefer that scenario.

Shame about Sweden too, that team def looked good in my book, just a bit unlucky.

How can he not see its IN the goal... I mean it's either one side of the post or the other for him.

How much did this man get payed?

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #546 on:** June 20, 2012, 03:47:38 AM »

it's amazing that if someone said "someone will be on the receiving end of a sh1tty goal line call" i'd have put the MORTGAGE on it being a bad call that crippled England.

Platini - i want to see him crying ON THE TELE.

drogba signed for shanghai shenhua

That's been making the rounds since the CL final, no?

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #549 on:** June 20, 2012, 07:05:31 AM »

yeah, no surprises for the Drogba move really - few other players rumoured to be heading over. Retirement cash total.

Lol i have a highly disturbing picture of myself and a friend wearing the Shanghai Shenhua football kit - him home, me away kit - with the shorts pulled up so high that our nuts are poking out... from about 2002 ... drunk... in Shanghai.

I'm sure the Drog will have a blast there!

Good god - do NOT touch Paddy Power online with a 60ft barge pole.

Account suspended after i added credit, pending me sending documents proving i am who i was (passport, credit card bill, etc) - sent them it three times, not ONE response. Several emails - no response. Live chat? Sorry - please send documents again (now sent three times). Been suspended for over a week, now hearing the account was closed - but no reason given with a -small- amount of credit still unused on the account.... They can only refund my account -if- , groan, send them my passport, credit card bill, etc AGAIN. Officially taking the water. Not happy at all.

I'm aware of Paddypower and i'm not aware of them being a giant scam or anything similar - infact, seems they have a great reputation - but the whole idea of allowing you to credit your account THEN slapping down account suspensions then doing absolutely nothing about getting the account unlocked when you send them the required documents is beyond a joke.

Whole point was to just have 25 quid in smallish bets during the Euros.... that's not happening now given where we are in the competition. :/

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #556 on:** June 23, 2012, 04:39:02 PM »

Spain - down the left - 90 seconds to go - 2-0 up....

yes lads, quick - work it out of this dangerous situation where we might score! Let's pass it back to the half way line and continue playing keepball.

It's effective and techincally great but god DAMN is it the dullest football ever. At least when Barca do it they still have buckets of attacking flair and want to score. With Spain it looks like they've been told not to shoot.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #557 on:** June 23, 2012, 07:16:52 PM »

i've used paddypower before before they banned my account also wanting the same shit

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #558 on:** June 23, 2012, 08:41:45 PM »

I mean - okay fine, i'm not particularly happy with a number of companies pulling this sort of nonsense - but okay if i then PROVIDE those details then i expect to get a good speed of response.

I sent another request pointing out that i just keep getting asked to reprovide the details - so they've asked me to.... reprovide the details :/

I've sent preceding messages and post send messages to say "sending..." "did you get it?" so lets see if -this- works. :/

Sorry XFE but you did not deserve the win today. Both sides had many opportunities to score a goal, both fumbled and as weird as it seems: penalties were the only honest way to do this.

can't say i disagree - Italy bossed the game and, when England did have chances, our forwards wanted one or two too many touches. Hodgson is a -great- manager in that he organised England around our strengths and hoped to nick a goal but alas - you need a huge slice of luck and the one handed save was probably the big chance for England. Italy could have/should have been out of sight - lots of amazing chances.

Perlo is a GOD though - god damn, that penalty was just incredible. Good luck to Italy - i had a chat with a French guy i play football with at work and i said i thought Italy would shade it and go on to win the tournament. So we shall see.

England just don't have the personel but AT LEAST we are coming round to playing within our limitations under Hodgson. No complaints at all, our best simply isn't good enough at international level right now - we played the right way to give ourselves a chance to win but we simply couldn't take it. If we'd beaten Italy then there would be a huge sense of injustice given they bossed us.

fucking schooled the english kid

tsk tsk - Joe Hart is -at worst- top three keepers on the face of the earth right now. Give Perlo the FULL praise here - he didn'tschool some green school kid here - he schooled a world class best in breed goal keeper. This wasn't some parlour trick against some n00b, this was an act of skill that tricked someone who could walk into 99.9999% of the teams on the planet.

i got a phone call from my bank - someone (let's face it : PADDYPOWER) has reported the attempted use of a cloned card from Japan....

for
f*ck
sake

you couldn't make this shit up. :/

So now my card has to be destroyed - they will reissue a new one, i should inform any company i have standing charges that they may bounce etc etc...

lesson learned - soon as a company has any policy of identification based verification? Just walk away

indeed. Actually they have managed to save me money - as long as i get a refund. But i'll NEVER touch them again and will advise anyone i come into contact thinking of dealing with them to also not touch them.

not that that's going to be a wide circle of people but it's just been one big headache.

I find it amazing that there are people who don't like Balloteli - he's pure 10000% entertainment.

In the last season :

+ Stupid sending offs
+ Incredible goals
+ Haircuts
+ The "Why always me?" T-shirt
+ When questioned by police after smashing up his sports car : "Why do you have 5000 quid in your back pocket?" "... because i'm rich"
+ ... you know... just go to this link :

absolute legend already.

Turning up randomly at the Inter Milan press conference and the story of him getting a ton of free trainers/merch from sponsors then driving round Moss Side giving them out to kids ...

Absolute nutter, but as a neutral he's amazing to watch. A talent, a character... i just hope that no one manages to tame him. He's so much fun, you just don't know what you are going to get.

After all the shite that has happened in Euro 2012 - it's now pretty clear that the european teams should just walk away and tell Pratini to do one.

I want whoever faces Spain in the final to bend their shit-tastic "no strikers! just pack the entire field" BULLSHIT over and royally clean their dirty with the soapy fish of attacking excellence.

Of Italy/Germany then ... well... Germany are a good bet but if we could have Italy with a Perlo and Balo going balls out nuts? I'd take it. I'd beg/go naked/wank a dog for a 4-0 or 5-0 stuffing.

Spain have deployed shite tactics that aren't -that- far away from the shite Greece/England deployed. Once you get to "well , we could shoot on goal, but then we'd lose the ball mi mi mi mi" shite then i want to smash my own face in watching them.

I can't stop watching the 2nd goal - it just gets funnier and funnier the more i see it. My thought process watching was basically "oh god, he's got a chance just place it in thHOLYFUCKINGFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!?#?!#?!$"?$!?!$"?!"
