Mumsnet Talk

I am at work and the Lord and Masters have graciously allowed me the great privilage of watching the match via i-player (while they all go the the pub bastards) and it keeps STICKING and going PIXELLY and I am going to CRY.

german referree....not a good start!!

Why is a german ref not good?

i'm sure he'll be fine....

<bites nails>
<prays to internet Gods to keep the connection>

how are your pixels??

THEY ARE PIXELY

I'm going to go on a rampage in a minute. A dirty big shreiking RAMPAGE

that is verrrry frustrating.
the ball is in the middle of the field now.

free kick by beaser

its on the lhs now.

every one said 'ooooor' ikn a disappointing way.

tis on rhs now.

Too stressy to watch am watching tennis and flicking!

red chap kicked it then a header and white t-shirt has it.

red chaps playing it a lot now.

Has anyone scored yet?

can't watch

Am watching wimbledon instead

white one got it.

no scores.

ball went loooong way from left to right.

Oi, the German ref will be good.

eveyone - booooooooo

STOP IT KITTEN.

<stern>

I am on an industrial estate which is utterly deserted. I'm going to go an pee in someone's skip, carve a big willy in a tree and do a big naked streak.

red chap on his bum.

COME ONNNNN! LAMPARD YOU TWAT

<sniff> I was being all helpful.

sTART AGAIN PLEASE KITTEN, IT'S FROZEN AGAIN...

I just fished a little green caterpillar out of my bra.

I've just shredded the boss' driving license.

stupid mn crashed for me.

red chap picked over the middle.
gerard cole rooney lampard gerard

The fottball is breaking the internets.

rooney went for goal and missed

england corner
now another

terry pulling up socks

ref being stern with rooney and white chap

ooh Roddick only has to win this game and he will be in the next round

oh dear, very poor serve

rooney went for goal and missed

OYBBK just keep posting that for the whole match. from what I have seen it is his football style

england def have ball more than t'others

barret on rhs johnson tried again

rule britannia being sung

I just kicked the wastepaper bin

mmelindt -good idea to put it into copy

DANGER!!!!!! good save terry lanes

Rule Britannia? Is it a British team then?

the tennis is a bit boring

fruitshoots its a great match Am waiting for hewitt

Yes Saltire. Yes it is.

you are going to get sacked for going on a mad rampage

what about putting 5live onto streaming? (not that I'm not doing an excellent job)

goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D

ENGLAND SCORE!!!

I think I prefer yours!

GOOOOOOAL!!

It came back on for the goal - thankyou INTERNETGODS

think it was defoe?

Shirley - is it, I thought it was England, not Britain.

yay for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rule england england rule the waves not the same

free kick us

There isn't an English National Anthem in the same way as there is a Welshy and Scottish one is there?

Don't see the point in getting all het about about stuff like that. England is in Britain after all...

(I'm Welsh by blood BTW)

the tennis is lovely and calming

england goalie kicking it

I love you Kitten.

whites ones next to our goal

I'm not getting het up. I'm quite mellow with my saltire round my shoulders in the garden with a bottle glass of wine

gerard terry

Don't geddit. With their money, why don't they just buy themselves a ball each and go home?

oooo another shot at the goal - missed

A big bit of tumbleweed just rolled past our door.

I only came on here to say that kids are asleep, tv off, radio off and yet, before coming on this thread I still know that we just scored

violation.....

lol shirley!! manic random typing helps time pass

you'll never escape Star - was manic screeching of cars arriving down our street at 2:55

oh no tennis has gone to a tie break...could go on for hours...

boss chap looks concerned

on lhs

ooooooooo defoe
ooooo gerard
oooooooo

missed

white chap goalie verrry o
good save

ooooh - it froze then. BLOODY I-PLAYER

Yes, I heard that too SoV.

There has also been a fair bit of yelling that I guess indicates either a near miss by England or a goal by the other side.

rooney lost possesion ball is ?

some of audience dresses as knights

round

Ha - wonder if I can get MN to change the title to include _ **WARNING! ENGLAND GAME SPOILERS ENCLOSED**

sloveni kicked ball down field

oh yes shirley.... oops...

mind you they wouldnt learn much from this!

ooh MATCH POINT

ref looks stern.

fruitshoots!

Saltiere - missed you post up there. Not fair to tease about drinking wine.

<rips up boss' certificates>

Roddick wins

now what do I watch?

all standing still

slovenia is a tall team

watch the footie until hewitt he is meant to be on fire this year My all time fave player apart from Boris!

they'd be good at tennis then

gpassing the ball about

slovenia goalie frowns

Er - get your filthy tennis rubbish OFF my lovely shiny footbally thread please.

I might jinx it if I watch now

and spits

oooh - meant goalie spits!!!

Tennis?filthy?How very dare you.............

ball went out

well it wasn't titled "football comments only"
only
"ARGHHHH"

so I think I can still crash in with tennis comments.....well actually I can't now as the match I was watching has finished

Why is it still so nail-biting? We have scored one, but I am on the edge here.

GPWM fruitshoots - don't do it.

(I like tennis really - just not on my FOOTBALL THREAD. Typical bloody middle class tennis watching barger inners. [wink)

white is not a good colour for grass stains

ref whistling a bit
gerchoos throw

number 10 spits - why do they spit so much?

<points at topic thread sits in>

Does football make people aggressive do you think?!

yellow!!!!!

Wimbledon is a world cup isn't it?

18 has yellow card

Star - same here; sat outside working on laptop, no TV on, no radio - however, can still hear people from their houses so know that we have scored

I think it's nervous spitting

<spits>

goalie kick it

<dribbles>

ooooof that was a close one

I just want the ref to blow the whistle for half ime now (So that I can get my Streak on outside)

<whispers>

Hewitt and.....other guy both wearing white caps...very confusing. Ohhh he's taken his top off....<faints>

free kick

<shoves fruitshoot HARD into bush>

That's right - that bush has got THORNS as well.

<folds arms>

dd just home - iplayer kept freezing at school too

the pitch is a mess

dd ddd ddddd england

<finds lost tennis ball in bush>

half time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooooo!

<gets undressed>

See you in the second half all...

phew we made it to half time without mucking it up!

well done Defoe - makes a difference not having a donkey like heskey less brilliant player up front.

how exciting shirley - I hope you take pics!

'k everyone is standinbg on pitch waggling from foot to foot

yorkitch made mistake

doh!!!!
missed.

ref blow whistle

<rushes back in picking pallet splinters out of norks>

Right - what have I missed?!

free kick to us

can someone give details please. i am at work.

have they changed the formation? is rooney lone striker ? is cole playing ? are they playing with zip and gusto ?

yellow to johnson!!!!!!

puzzling......

Um,

Playing better - one could almost say they were playing with VIM and VIGOUR.

Rooney and Defoe up front. Some others also on the pitch.

cole playing tis 4-2-2 formation some gusto not so much zip

What was that all about?

still 442, plenty of v&v!

GOOOOAL!!!!

NOOOOOO

and we are clealry too short

flag up

goal discounted cos of off player.

boooo silly rules

dambusters plaing

10 did a roly-poly

white man down

am loving commentary.

but no 18 got a yellow card ? who is number 18 ???

and cole and defoe are there ?
wierd.

What about the vuvuvuvuvuvuvuvlzellallvuuuuu's? they seem quiet.

cover goolies time

Johnson got the yellow card - don't know why, he didn't do anything wrong

I dunno which player=which number sorry

rooneygerrardrooney
oooaaaaar

there only seem to be 3 players whos names get said.

free kick for slovenia

good catch

johnson just possibly did a bit of diving

Johnson got yellow card for nothing - but he did get away with a tackle in first half that probably deserved one, so a of good karma bad karma methinks

get the ball back lads!!!!!

gogogo
