Ipswich vs Yeovil.

1. Football ?????????

[...of J.Temperance]

2. Yeah

You call it soccer. But it's NOT soccer darlin', it's FOOTBALL, or in South America it's Futbol.

[Racenut20]

3. SssssOK. We will allow you non rednecks to call soccer, football.

[...of J.Temperance]

4. I DO aspire to be a redneck ONE day though...it's

Not like I'm not tryin', I've got a downpayment on a trailer and I'm hanging around with Rush and scoring Hillbilly Heroin off him.

[Racenut20]

12. Hope you got a Ford truck to park at the end of the trailer.

And here in Florida, you need to keep a stock of blue tarps for hurricaine damage.

Housekeeper of the year is the one with the least amount of rust on the trailer axle.

WAIT WAIT.... I am watching this soccer game and less than two hours into the match someone actually scored a point. Player fell down and the ball accidently dribbled past into the net. wow...Lets watch that replay some more.

[...of J.Temperance]

17. Ford Truck

Well I'm planning on becoming a Hillbilly Heroin dealer, then I can get that Ford Truck ;)

Probably not Florida, outside Baton Rouge or Huntsville, Al. I'm thinking of...so I'll still have to look out for blue tarps.

I've made a note: Housekeeper of the year.

Football, some games end 0-0. But, stick with it, it's the Beautiful Game.

[Racenut20]

34. Are we talking about fooseball ??? I mean real football

has touchdowns, fieldgoals..... And they count 6 points and 3 points each so we can have bigger scores.

14 to 7, that just seems to have the potential for many more clips on ESPN, than 2 to 1.
And besides, it is fast moving. It only takes 3 1/2 hours to play a 60 minute game.

[...of J.Temperance]

35. Oh heck

I can't understand American football, it's TOO complicated. I like baseball though, SF Giants.

3 1/2 hours to play a 60 minute game...I can go for that :)

I don't get ESPN, I get NASN, on at present are the Braves vs the Cubs. That also takes 3 1/2 hours to play a 60 minute game.

I notice you like NASCAR...and softball.

[Racenut20]

36. Love the races and softball

on my way tomorrow to Cali for the Indy car race north of SanFran.

I don't know how to do pm on here. try [e-mail] (just teasing you. My son coaches soccer for a high school)

[...of J.Temperance]

37. Races

I've always been partial to a spot of drag racing myself.

That doesn't look like a proper email address, now does it!

[Mr Creosote]

5. My only consolation

in a long evening of listening to City struggle is...............



IPSWICH 0 YEOVIL 2. Hurrah!

[...of J.Temperance]

6. I'm really sorry about

Bristol City :(

Ipswich vs Yeovil. I've got a soft spot for both, but I'm VERY glad Yeovil won, because it's taken them a long time to get into a proper League, so for that reason, well done Yeovil!

[Mr Creosote]

7. Yes well done Yeovil

and well done the Ginger Pele - MKD 0 - Norwich City 1! Kick it off............

[...of J.Temperance]

8. I was

Getting worried about Norwich! I'm glad they pulled it around and won, but heck that should have been an easy victory against Milton Keyne...I wonder if Delia went off on one, in the changing rooms this time ;)

Yeovil, they just warm my heart :)

[lockdown]

9. 100%

Kudos Mr. McCarthy, still a perfect record in the top flight.

And 18 Premiership defeats in a row for Sunlun... will they beat the 2002/03 all-time Premiership record low of 19 points, their very own record? Best of luck to them in their plucky endeavours.

[...of J.Temperance]

10. That

Game was on Sky Sports 1 just before. Yes, well done Sunderland. Some Asian football's on now, the Koreans and Japanese, aw, bless 'em.

[lockdown]

11. I'm terrible

I've been browsing a mackem board in delight, they're all suicidal. Bless 'em. :)

[...of J.Temperance]

13. Ha!

Aw, the poor lambs ;)

[lockdown]

14. Is it

that time already? :)

I see Owen turned down Everton. He was worried Duncan Ferguson would pick on him apparently.

[...of J.Temperance]

15. I think it is

;)

Owen will probably go back to Liverpool, now a place has been made vacant by Milan Barras leaving.

Big Dunc, oh I do think he's FAB! Everton play Villa Real tomorrow, I HOPE they win, they haven't been in Yurp playing in a Yurpean cup for yonks, it'll be such a shame if they go out in the Qualifiers.

[lockdown]

20. Probably

I read Owen was leaving any move till the last day of the transfer window for tax reasons (what else eh), may be rubbish, but it must be back to Liverpool whenever it is.

Ferguson was mostly injured at Newcastle, pity, type you love when he's playing for you. He has a habit of scoring screaming goals against Man Utd whoever he plays for, and the way he intimidates defenders makes Joe Jordan look like Owen. Quite funny watching big hard men run away from him on the pitch!

Yurp.. hah. Everton won't pay anyone more than 70 shillings a week, they'll probably get knocked out the UEFA Cup by some Icelandic fishermen or something. Every decent player knocks them back, the fans say it's because Everton's too big for them... they're as bad as Man City fans (Oasis, say no more) with their Big Club whining. ;)

Anyway, I shouldn't just go on about the Ferrari league... how do you think your grassroots teams will do, all 30 of them?

[evermind]

16. Do we need a UK lounge, or is this it?

Seriously, is this forum for politics, or does it want to discuss football and ice-cream?

Just wondering, as a relative newcomer here...

[...of J.Temperance]

18. Nothing

I'll leave, you've got MORE posts than me, therefore you were here BEFORE me. So this is my last post.

[lockdown]

22. Take no notice

If he's so humourless it's his problem.

[Mr Creosote]

24. Yes do stay

and taking no notice is real easy - just use the "ignore" button - a wonderful invention :-)

[...of J.Temperance]

26. Okay

I'll come back. I'm genuinely touched that various people have taken the time to PM me. So, I've given in already ;)

[Kicked in the Taco]

23. Nooo!

You can't leave, what are the chances of me ever finding another person on this board who knows what I'm on about when I whinge about the price of Hoegaarden at Clarence Yard?

[...of J.Temperance]

27. That damn Clarence Yard!

Extortion I tell ya! Tut Tut.

[T_i_B]

38. Right then...

We've got the perfect thread for you in the Lounge now!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3921074

[Anarcho-Socialist]

19. It's a jack o' all trades here

It's our LBN, GD and Lounge rolled up into one. At least I've always taken it as so.

[evermind]

29. Ok, thanks - I just wondered since when I first looked in it

was pretty much all politics..

I have nothing against humorous or light discussion, folks, just seeking guidance as to whether this was really the place for it. Having received that guidance, I see that it is..

I'm sorry if I've caused offence - I had no intention of doing that.

I will admit to a sharp distaste for football, though! Blech!

[...of J.Temperance]

32. You didn't cause offence

I can understand your hate of football...it's sort of like me with Wimbledon. I wouldn't like it if there were 6 Wimbledon's threads ;)

[lockdown]

33. Sorry

if I was harsh, just felt a bit sensitive about it personally given my posts lately. No offence intended here either, I appreciate your point and it is serious discussion that brings me here first, just I've needed a bit light relief lately! As we all do. :) Here's to balance.

fwiw, you've made comments in serious threads that made me laugh (laughing with, while making relevant points), so my comment wasn't entirely accurate. ;)

[lockdown]

21. What harm does it do?

Can't serious and light-hearted coexist? It's not like there's so much UK traffic that political threads are flying off the front page. :shrug:

So long as political/serious threads aren't disrupted, where's the harm?

[Kicked in the Taco]

25. We've got the, ahem, "big" Essex derby coming up on Monday...

Southend Utd v Colchester Utd at Roots Hall! Move over Rangers/Celtic and Real Madrid/Barcelona!

[...of J.Temperance]

28. Move over

AC Milan/Inter Milan...move over Ajax/PSV Eindhoven.

Heck I HOPE young Freddie is in the starting line-up for Monday?

[Kicked in the Taco]

30. Looks like he wont unfortunately

Not only have the FA turned down his appeal, they've added an extra match to it (now 4) because of the "frivolous" nature of the appeal.:(

Glad you decided to stick around btw!:hi:

[...of J.Temperance]

31. Oh no :(

Poor Freddie :cry:

I was touched by the outpouring wanting me to stay. So, as I'm weak, I gave in and I'll stay :hi:

[T_i_B]

39. 3-1 to Southend!

Evidently the Goat has been fed.
