All for Australia getting it but why England?  They've had it before as well as a Euros and then had the bulk of a very recent euros.  Numerous countries should be ahead of England in the queue

I wasn't  rooting for England to get it but  they were clearly better equipped to  stage it than Qatar

I mean England have  lots of 40k+ stadia. And the transport, infrastructure, hotels, etc etc  built around that. Qatar didn't even  have any stadia (bar one) , so wouldn't have had the infrastructure around the stadia either

Anyway,  staging the WC in a smaller country like England makes more sense  than say Australia, USA etc , as there's lots of grounds within short distances.  The 2026 tournament will involve massive  travelling  and expenses for fans.  England wouldn't as much as buses, trains are  able to get fans  to matches

It is mad that Qatar is  hosting

I remember  England (Australia too) were bidding for 2018/22 , and fifa delegates come over  ,  supposedly to assess stadia, transport, infrastructure, etc etc , then. Awarded it to Qatar who had one stadium at the time if I recall correctly

I mean , why bother visiting countries pretending  to assess things? England and Australia do have adequate stadia to host a World Cup.  Qatar clearly didn't.  Why didn't fifa just sit in  Switzerland and  tell any  bidding countries that whoever sends the biggest cheque gets the tournament. I mean , that's exactly what they do  anyway. An absolute farce

Not a poppy in sight on The Blame Game

No doubt Big Jeff or Bryson  will be tweeting about that

Plus  the fact there's  too many taigs on the panel . (Actually now that I think about it,   that was brought up before by some unionist )

Somebody should  really get a chocolate thread and poll going

I've never looked  less forward to a WC than this one.  Not because it's in Qatar  or in winter , but the life and enjoyment has been truly sucked out of  soccer in recent years  .  Vast majority of them are overpaid overhyped arses .

Anyway I'll probably tune into as much as i can bear  ,  or have it on in the background at least.  But at the end of the day , as long as England are knocked out very  early, I couldn't give a sh1te who wins it after that

WTF? Bounty is  my go-to celebration.  Along with maltesers

Bastids

Can't listen to Ellie Goulding . Awful piercing voice

Adele as well . I really can't  understand her popularity . Very sore on  the ears, that one

Can't bear Lulu - especially that  song Shout.  Oh Christ

That fella from the stereophonics. Most of their songs  I can't hack

Not sure there's been  a thread similar , but today I was very unfortunate to hear two songs I cannot bloody stand. I physically have to turn off the  radio/TV if I hear them.

Spice Girls -  Wannabe
Neil Diamond- Sweet Caroline

(Tbh I absolutely can't stand Neil Diamond's  voice at all. Christ but it's annoying)

Anyway, thought I'd start  a thread.

Let's have it...........

I'd like to hear who you like if you can't bear a good singer like Neil Diamond.

Awful voice he has.  Can't listen to him at all.

Btw, I was thinking  more of singing voices you can't bear rather than  speaking voices

I doubt Jarlath  is as well connected or has enough millionaire chums to become president.

Let's face it,  that's why Big Larry is there

Bishop apologises over controversial remarks by priest at Listowel Mass
Priest refers to sex between two men and two women as a sin, among other comments

https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/social-affairs/2022/11/01/bishop-of-kerry-apologised-over-controversial-remarks-delivered-by-priest-at-listowel-sunday-mass/


I don't see the problem. The priest is spelling out the churches rules?

Well yeah , that is  the church rules

Everyone knows these views, even if they're never uttered by a priest or bishop.  So those who walked out , I'm sure they knew these views already , So why  Are you at mass in the first place ? Or even a member of the catholic ch?

Some great memories here.

ITV's 1986 theme

Reminds me of going outside to kick the ball around the yard with my brothers after every match.

ITV nailed it again with their 1990 theme

And of course, there's Put em under pressure. There was a lot of World Cup tunes in the charts at the time, but this is the one that sticks.

That 86 World Cup theme brings  me back . Great  tune.  Didn't saint and greavsie adopt that  tune after 86?

I remember the sticker  book from 86 as well.  Great memories

Remember when Loserpool fans talked about this team being better than Utds Treble winners? Lol! Absolute bluffers.

Flopp has switched off. He wants to be sacked. He hates managing them. He's as short as cat's pish in interviews. He's not happy. Salah absolutely phoning it in Ozil style since he got the big bucks. Club is in serious bother. Relegation candidates.

Your a bit cat pished yourself lad.

The child is best ignored

6 European Cups and 19 league titles and a few cups too. Some losers aren't they.

Not a big fan really but childish shite like this brings the board down and basically invalidates any opinion they have on anything being taken seriously. All for having a laugh, but generally prefer 5+ years old humour.

You're the one  that threw in all those  cups ,  some that was won what... 40 years ago? 70? Who cares

I'm not a Liverpool fan (obviously)  , but frig sake man  , don't be so sensitive  ,

[Is this the beginning of the end for klopp?]

Liverpool are falling apart. Is this the beginning of the end for klopp?

No.

Same question applies
