I’ll be in.
I don’t have the north east chip on my shoulder

 

Is that what ACS is known as now?

 

Some people just won't give it a rest, will they...










Seriously, I would be in on a sweepstake.

My only suggestion is that mine is free and everyone else chips in to cover my appearance fee for partaking and the fee for my team.

 

That's very kind of you.
I am buzzing about the world cup now.

 

USA and Iran so far. Just need Russia

 

Close.

England
Iran
USA
Scotland/Wales/Ukraine

 

I'm all in for team ABE

 

Food bank not waste dump.

 

I honestly said to my boss today we'd end up with the EU play off, USA and I thought we'd get Saudi Arabia. Should make it through there. Group G is anyones guess there and Group E looks tasty. Hopefully one of Spain and Germany fail to make it through!

 

I'm drawing on everything I got to get people up for it

Love a good cause, was a thinking of saying a nominated charity of the winner but I think everyone can get behind the food bank!

 

I don’t want to play.

 

Beelville in here tonight

 

We always get piss easy groups in qualifying and the actual tournament.

 

I just think anyone even thinking about watching any of this tournament need their heads examined.

Have you seen the state of their human rights record man? its ****ing medieval. the amount of deaths from slave labour and just don't start me on their backwards views on women and their views on homosexuality.

 

What are their views on men who wear 'skirts'?

 

That's the thing, we get an easy ride, everyone gets excited, then we face a half decent team in the knock-outs and then we're on the plane back home.

 

They seem to find thats okay, so long as you can ensure you don't chaffe the old fellow against the wool or trap him in the chain of your sporran whilst having a piss, like I have a feeling a certain member on here would do

 

What's these knock out stages you speak of??????

Scotlands last game in a world cup was a 3-0 loss to Morocco back in 1998
