The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

That's one of the most minging fitbaw strips I've seen in years

 

:: ridiculous, ain't it?

 

Finally a good goal without poor defending!

(well not according to somebody

 

Well done fatty

 

ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY!

 

God damn more shitty defending again.

 

Rooney scored! Am I dreaming??

 

Rooney really does not deserve to break Charlton's record

 

No you're not - the second highest goal scorer in England history really scored! ::

 

Lineker - 10 goals in two World Cups

Rooney - 1 goal in three World Cups

Get the fuck outta here, disgrace.

 

Yeah well this wasn't a World Cup saucy slice, was it? WAS IT? issed:issed:

 

Good to see an insignificant game of football getting more praise and attention than that Hottentot Big-Arsed shite they call "Womens Football"....Christ, you could fry an English breakfast on the broad arses of some of those "Athletes"....

 

Well that wasn't entirely successful....went in for a 3 quid chocolate stout, and got slicked by some American salesman into buying a ten quid refillable litre bottle of smokey ale. At the end he said 'hey thanks for the support'. The support?

 

It is pretty fucking delicious though

 

How many underage girls do you think Lineker has molested.............

 

Coming to a Peephole near you................

 

Its weird when people look better at 55 than 20.

 

Agreed

 

the exception to the rule..................

 

::

Glaswegians live hard

 

That Slow-Venia kit looks like something from Wimbledon 1993

 

is Brazil a made up surname btw, i've never heard it before in my life. Is it Irish?

 

haha, spot on. I was trying to pick out an analogy to capture its mingingness, thats it.

 

There was a famous Irish footballer called Derek Brazil who was on the books of Manchester United before injury ended his career, effectively.

Loads of Irish people are named after countries or nationalities............Nicky English {famous hurler} or called "Spain" or "Brazil" or "French".....It is likely an Anglicization of an Irish name....

 

Well that's a question straight outta left field :: :dunno:

 

Hoot raises an excellent point, Silas. Ah love reading the diametrically opposed opinions o’ both o’ yeez but Ah havetae pipe up, saepport Hutler and raise a few, wee facts… Rooney hasae much better European Chmpionship record than ole Big Ears, like. Check it oot:

Rooney:

European Championship Qualifier 12 goals
European Championship Finals 5 goals

Lineker:

European Championship Qualifier 7 goals
European Championship Finals 0 goals

Noo, Ye may be thinking that Rooney played in more European Championship Finals games (Ye alsae, may no’ be, of coourse!). Well, Ah can tell Yeez that both have played a total o’ 6 games each and Rooney still managed tae score 5 goals which is pretty fan-dabby-dozy ba all accoonts.

Rooney may have a face like a crab’s arse and, whit appears tae be shredded wheat sellotaped tae his heid, but he is a bonny laddie fer the Sasnachs and has noo scored 48 goals in 105 appearances… nearly a 50% goal scoring record.

SEE YOU, Silas Endeece!

 

Good post Billeh. I will say this, Rooney was excellent in the 2004 finals and was arguably the player of the tournament. That very tournament is the reason why England fans became excited by him in the first place.

Now the thing is, he's only scored one goal since then ::. Also, Lineker's England, if I remember correctly, were never top seeds in qualifying during the duration of his career, which meant he would have been playing against better opposition in qualifying. I might be wrong about this though as I was very young when Lineker was in his pomp so I only have vague memories of that period.

One thing I have been consistent about on here is my complaint about England being top seeds in qualifying. This means they rarely have a threat in their group and will usually make it to the finals at a canter. Not only is this seeding totally unwarranted based on finals performance, it doesn't prepare you for when you actually have to play the big boys. In WC98 qualifying we had Italy in our group, in 2002 it was Germany, in 2000 we had Sweden etc. Slovenia are currently second in our group, Lineker would have left Charlton back on 49 long ago if he was up against the competition Rooney's had to face.

2004 turned out to be the exception, not the rule. Other than his debut, Rooney has been consistently poor in international tournament finals.

 

It's good tae havae a real fitba chat and no' havetae listen tae some Professor Plums beal on aboot hoo rubbish it all is, like.

Fer yer info, Ah wiz living in Norn Ireland in '86 and wiz 11 years old, like, and loving the tourny.

Ah hear Ye on the weak qualifying oppos, Silas, but England were no’ exactly facing much tougher opponents tae qualify fer 1986 and 1990, fer example…

1986 Group C Qualification: England, Northern Ireland, Romania and Turkey.

1990 Group 2: England, Sweden, Poland, Albania.

In the qualifiers fer 1990, England boggin’ well came second and still wentae the World Cup in Italia!

Alsae, Gary Winston Lineker didnae always score against the likes o’ Germany and Argentina… he scored his hat trick against Poland and his brace against Paraguay, who weren’t exactly legendary at the time. In 1990, he scored gainst some other feeble team, wi' an 8th minute strike against the Republic of Ireland tae give the old imperial masters an early lead. He did accidentally jobbie on the pitch during a sliding tackle! Noo, imagine if Rooney shat his shorts in a World Cup finals game? There’d be a Hanging Judge called fer, but fer Saint Gary? No laddie, Ye go on and fill yer adidas sambas and paint the toon broon.

From Scoatland's persepctive qualifying fer '86... Jock Stein died o' a heart attack aftae we scored an equaliser against Wales and we eventually qualified thanks tae beating AUSTRALIA 2 nil in an UEFA-OFC Intercontinental Qualifier match!

SEE YOU, OZ!
