The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

When I'm in Ireland (late July-early August), QPR play Shamrock Rovers and Athlone Town (which is about a 20 minute drive from my Dad's house). I won't get to see those games though because I'm going to a christening on the day we play Shamrock Rovers and I fly back on the day we play Athlone Town :doh:

 

Switch places with cdogg. You go to that kid's birthday party and he goes to the christening.

 

Boring James Milner

I've just put the bins out but there is virtually no rubbish in them because
I've been away. The binmen are going to think it's hilarious!

 

I've been feeling heavy depressed the last two days, i wonder if it's been the lack of football. if i start feeling chipper again when France-Germany kicks off I'll know my world is gonna fall apart next sunday after the final.

Just had some guy come to the door asking my intentions for the referendum.

Are you Miss Malley?
No.
Is this flat 4/b?
No.
Anyway, I have two quick questions, it'll take 30 seconds is that ok?
Of course, no problem.
'On a scale of one to ten, one being definitely no, ten definitely yes, how would you rate your voting intentions'
5
Ok thanks. Now, will you be voting yes in the referendum?
Erm....well i don't know.
OK, so i'll put down yes question mark, no question mark is that ok?
Sure.
OK bye.
Alright.....I thought you wanted to ask two questions?
I did, yeah, that was both of them.
I see. OK, bye.

 

After the first question you could already tell you were dealing with somebody with a high intellect.

My dad imported a car from the states a few years ago. Woman at customs looks through the paper work "Are you Rose?" (i guess that was the previous own's name)

My dad replied with "Do I look like Rose?"

Some other woman realized her coworker was a dumbass and intervened and took over the process after she overheard.

 

Sensible

 

You still haven't managed your way out of it i guess?

 

Exactly the situation here. He was with a woman who looked embarrassed and kept glancing eye contact with me as if to say 'yeah, i know'. The guy seemed really nice/enthusiastic though. i don't mean to be mean.

 

:giggle:

 

nope

to be honest, I'd be far more interested in Sligo Rovers than Shamrock Rovers

I've got no connection at all to Dublin... Sligo is where part of my family comes from

 

Get out of the stupid kid's party!

Maybe one of us could create a fake company name and put a profile up on lamebook. Post on cdogg's wall that we read his resume and would like to have him come in for an interview. Naturally it's a 200k per year position.

 

Yeah, but my girlfriend will be pretty bummed when I don't "get the job":giggle:

 

It's a party with a bunch of Portuguese, Ricans and Indians... somebody there has got to care enough about the match to put it on

 

At least you tried your best!

 

"Come on, baby, it was only a 500% raise!"

 

Wow, did any of you UK folk watch the first episode of 'An Honourable woman'? That was really good.

 

Is that the series with Maggie Gyllenhall? I had a load of emails at work telling me to watch it. Might check it out if its any good, I don't really watch television.

 

Jimmy, what do you think about Taarabt coming back?

 

I still say he's one of the most naturally skilled players in the world, by the way

 

you should have said yes then waited to see what he would have said ::

 

I really don't know. His time away could have been the best thing for him and he might have an excellent season with us. You know, I really don't know why his wages are so ridiculously high.

 

Yes you do, it's because he took us up in 2011 single-handedly. The question is, how long are we in his debt for? We've gone up without him now, so fuck off, innit.

 

::

Yes, but what has he done for us since that campaign? FACK ALL and that's down to his temper tantrums and unwillingness to train properly. I think if we don't get rid of him (which is likely from the sounds of it) then let's see how he fares this coming season. If he produces the goods, the risk was worth it, if not then there's no other option but to do something about his silly wages and ship him off to sea.

 

Btw, I'm glad about the news that Tony Fernandes isn't keen on signing horse face Ferdinand. Yes he has bags of experience but he's shot, is more at risk to injuries and will likely retire in 1-2 years. I'd rather sign a younger, fresher, hungrier player who wants to play for the shirt.

 

I thought it was really good. Granted, I'm a bit of an oddball. I'll say this much though - it made London look absolutely amazing, so you might enjoy it just for that. You can tell the director spent allot of time picking out locations and streetscapes, etc. The cinematography/framing, set design & all that jazz seemed particularly terrific to me, generally. The acting and script were also very good, extremely interesting subject matter, tackled intelligently/ambiguously - I give it 9 thumbs up!

We borrow one from Barca, one from Chelsea, and one from Man City and loan our guys out to teams like Tranmere Rovers and Oldham Athletic. Then Arsenal Fans go on camera and bitch and moan that we only tied them because half of our team is borrowed from elsewhere.

 

Some of these managerial changes throughout the English league make no sense to me.

Typically you have teams from all levels that are struggling and had or are having a poor season. OR a smaller club that's done very well and they lose their manager to a bigger name club. Every once in a while i see one that's a complete head scratcher. A team that has improved or is in the process of getting better and they let the manager go. :scratcher:
