a couple lulz from yesterday
Second half, Emile Heskey is in the box by himself with a great chance to set up something fantastic. Sends the ball via a cheeky back heal to--a russian defender. English kid two stools down from me "Aww bless. He does try though"
Second half again, some mystery black guy scores for England making it three - nil. Everyone including myself and the aforementioned English kid get up and cheer. Camera zooms in on mystery black guy's face.
English kid and me: "OH FUCK". Then we look at each other and give high fives.
The goal scorer? Rio fucking Ferdinand.
English kid: "Well at least we'll get another series of Rio's world cup wind ups"
Ireland lost and there was some WELL DODGY sending off. Noirn lost on an own goal. SCOTLAND BEAT THE CHEESE EATING SURRENDER MONKEYS Norway drew. My 2nd favorite Norwegian scored the equalising goal (well early in the 1st half mind) of his rocket of a left foot.

Oh, how I love Who Ate All the Pies
Any post that begins as below, is fantastic in my book.
Hmm, this is a tricky one. After all, they're both gingers and both called Steve. Oh, and they're both rubbish managers.
HEAD TO HEAD Steve Staunton vs Steve McClaren

"Take that San Marino! " - Ireland fan in the 94th minute
Footie Bird was watching her Beloved England down the Beloved Pub yesterday while the Footie Geeza(mentioned here) was watching Ireland.
I can get into the pathetic performance of England later. Let's talk about San Marino:
San Marino has only ever won one international game, a 1-0 win over Liechtenstein in a friendly in 2004. Andy Selva got the winner.
Despite the lack of success at international level, San Marino holds the record for the fastest ever goal in World Cup history. In a World Cup qualifier against England in 1993, Davide Gualtieri scored after just 8 seconds, though the team went on to lose 7-1.
Arguably the best performance by San Marino came in another World Cup qualifier on 10 March 1993, when they held Turkey to a 0-0 draw in Serravalle. The worst defeat inflicted on the team was a 13-0 defeat to Germany in the qualifying to Euro 2008, on 6 September 2006.[1]
If it weren't for Steven Ireland who scored in the 94th minute, this team would have drawn Ireland 1-1. San Marino's goal was the first in competition since 1998.
Oh does this have all of Ireland in a tizzy! Mostly because Steve Staunton is as useless--no more useless than anything save Steve McClaren. Leftback, a football blog, shares these lulz from Wikipedia.
