Turkey vs Wales, 16th June 2021, 5pm, BBC

[Johnny Doe]

So we've got a dog ref.

?

Looks like it's an Olympic stadium with a half-mile track round the outside.

I can just imagine playing in such a stadium, having been called up by Ireland even tho in retirement, coming on late in a World Cup Final 2-1 down to England, scoring the equaliser and doing a lap of the track, getting booked for doing it but scoring the winner after the re-start and doing it again to then get a red card with a minute to go, but the job was done...

Never even realized you played football

Fuck me Bale's a lovely player. Criminal that he wasn't played at Real Madrid.

He played more than I thought he had, averaged 35 a season over seven seasons

Sorry mate, I don’t/didn’t more than any of us here, I was just being dreamy. But I was the goalie for Urban75 many years ago, we even took part in a few tournaments.

 

[Gromit]

Ffs it’s half time between Wales and Turkey so the BBC…

“what better time to start our build up to the England Scotland match”

… and then do a 4 min piece on England.

Fuck the fuck off will you

Hehe sorry yes I realized - and there'd have been some record of it on the web somewhere

I expect with the high humidity they will be glad of the extra space & breeze the track gives.

The fans ain’t glad.
They might as well be at home watching on the telly the amount they are looking at the big screen.

Didn't get in from work until 36 mins played, who's had the better of it?

Hang on, Cat's Bum turns up and Wales score. You're not planning on going anywhere in the second half, are you...?

(I still don't know how to do the wee sun thing...)

 

[Gromit]

Nah, I'm here for the duration

You can always cut and paste, or Alt-15

 

[Sue]

You can always cut and paste

I tried. Didn't work.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Pen!

 

[Diamond]

PEN!

 

[not-bono-ever]

Omy

 

[ddraig]

oh maaaaaan

 

[Johnny Doe]

WoW!

 

[Rebelda]

Did he slip? Eta: in his pen run up I mean.

 

[belboid]

What is it about Gareth’s and penalties?

 

[Diamond]

Oh noes

 

[Steel Icarus]

Dived over his leg imo

[brogdale]

Ouch!

 

[Johnny Doe]

Dived over his leg imo

Definitely went looking for the contact, but they are pretty much always given these days

 

[Steel Icarus]

What is it about Gareth’s and penalties?

Cares more about looking cool than doing the job.

 

[campanula]

O noes, Turkey are going to come back now

 

[MrSki]

That must of hurt.

 

[ska invita]

Golden rule: never ever ever pissabout on the run up to a pen
