The ABWC thread

[Hardy]

I just wanted to start a tread that wasn't about the world cup. Just for novelty value, like.

I thought we had rules about thread proliferation on a single subject, but we have six world cup threads so far. The main one has 38 pages and the fucken thing hasn't even started yet.

We have sweepstakes and lotteries. Next it'll be predict the colour of Wayne Rooney's vomit and where will Drogba lie down first. When did we ever have a sweepstake on the All-Ireland Championship on this GAA discussion board?

So I'm just providing this thread as a small gesture to offer some respite from the next four weeks (four weeks - Oh God!) of diving and whinging and scorer-kissing and cringe-making goal "celebrations" (F**K!) and effeminate hairdos and grimacing in pain when someone passes within two yards and the general ponciness overload that's coming our way, whether we like it or not.

So, if it's all getting too much for you, feel free to drop in here and get away from it all. Post about anything you like. Even the world cup, as long as it's negative, sceptical or hostile. All three would be better. Just for balance.

Games like Cameroon vs Japan and Honduras vs Chilie take the bellend!

Of course, now I realise it IS about the f*n world cup.

What do I do now?

Games like Cameroon vs Japan and Honduras vs Chilie take the bellend!

I dunno I saw some of Chile in the qualifying phase and they look decent, a game like that could have loads of goals.
Also Japan didn't look bad against England

Suppose you may have a point as Algeria vs ? (Small Country) in Confederations Cup was 4-4. Only real entertainment is in the last 10 minutes.

Have to say I was waiting for this thread alright. Tho I thought we'd get to the start of it before it appeared. 

[Puckoon]

Can we still talk about soccer?


I see Michael Ballack and Joe Cole are on their way out of stamford bridge on free transfers.

Moynalty steam threshing festival only 8 weeks away now. Anyone excited. Anyone giving their Ferguson 20 a once over??

Are you talking about Joe Brolly or the Mort?

[Orior]

Fair enough Hardy, but can I confirm you WILL be supporting the Motherland?

It often turns out some of the bigger games with the so called bigger teams are very poor games

[pintsofguinness]

I'm looking forward to it but people starting new threads on it when there is a thread is downright annoying

[Rossfan]

I won't be watching any of this soccer world cup shite .
There will be plenty of club games on in the county over the next month or so to occupy nearly every evening.

[ONeill]

Not another fcukin World Cup thread.

Jaysus.

The Ballina Street Festival runs from the 2nd till 11th July. I'll be doing a teaching course and training minors so I'll be busy enough this time around when the World Cup is on, plus there's cows to milk when I'm not doing any of these things and I hate watching games during the week during the daytime.
