i can't stand it!! again

southeastastra · 25/06/2006 17:51

ahh i can relax

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 17:55

Thank goodness for that.

Hardly inspiring stuff though.

If we'd been playing a good team it would have been a whitewash.

willow2 · 25/06/2006 18:31

I find myself oddly unmoved by this - I think because it is obvious that we don't stand a chance of winning, given our current form, so there's no point in getting worked up.

willow2, you clearly don't understand the football supporter's psyche

At least it didn't end in a penalty shoot-out. Why did he puke, I wonder?

He said he'd been ill before he went on and I think the heat, the stress, the excitement - well, it's a recipe for something unpleasant, I think.

I thought England suffered a bit from the refereeing (again) today, but not as badly as they have done in the past. I predict that there will be a serious game-changing decision that goes against us in a totally unfair manner, but that's hardly spooky mystic meg predicting ability - it's just what always happens

ComeOVeneer · 25/06/2006 22:41

But why oh why do peaople refer to it as "we" , (as in "If we'd been playing...."

Sorry it is a personal gripe, but ( and I say this tyo DH all the time) were you actually on the pitch, did you kick the ball?

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 22:42

Because it's our team, CoV

(I've done both "we" and "they" on this thread, I see )

ScummyMummy · 25/06/2006 22:47

At least he wasn't as bad as the Portugal Holland ref- I thought there might not be anyone left on the pitch...

ComeOVeneer · 25/06/2006 22:50

I know Hunker (it just makes me laugh when DH returns home from watching a game and starts to spout "we did this and we did that" when all he did was sit on his back side and shout obscenities at the referee and other players.

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 22:54

And he could also count the yellow cards he'd handed out - not three before sending off like the other night!

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 22:55

Well, when you put it like that, CoV

I do always think "Is he?" when the commentator says "Beckham's cross..."

ComeOVeneer · 25/06/2006 22:55

I was amazed by that mistake. (BTW how are you and your's Hunker?).

flutterbee · 25/06/2006 22:56

Bring on Portugal

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 23:00

Very well, thank you, CoV - both DSs smiley and enjoying life and I'm finding it all much easier (most days!).

How are you? How's yuor nephew getting on? I often think of him.

ComeOVeneer · 25/06/2006 23:00

I have a friend who is wishing all of England's opponents to win............

Because she has "accidentally" booked her wedding for the 9th of July so (obviously) is desperate for them to be out of the whole thing prior to the final to make her wedding go without (that) hitch.

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 23:01

People will still want to watch the World Cup final though, CoV - she's best off sticking a TV in the bar Otherwise she'll lose half her guests for the duration of the match!

ComeOVeneer · 25/06/2006 23:04

Actually Hunker he isn't doing too well atm. Don't quite understand it, but it is something to do with "e" antibodies (not the "usual" antibody (d) which causes problems between mother and child) which is quite rare, but as a result he has become severely anaemic and went back to hospital yesterday for a blood transfusion. But otherwise his (one) kidney is doing fabulously and he is feeding for Britain.

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 23:06

Oh no I hope it's just a temporary setback - is he still in hospital? Glad to hear the feeding's going well - good lad and well done to your SIL

ComeOVeneer · 25/06/2006 23:13

It is a temporary thing (once he "clears" the antibodies from his system) he should be fine. I don't know if you know (being mn's "official" BF woman) , can you increase the iron supply to your baby through increased "iron-rich" food in your own diet, or doesn't it past through into the breast milk?

hunkermunker · 25/06/2006 23:20

Some stuff about iron and diet in bfed babies - he's already getting the best sort of iron from her bmilk - it can't hurt her to include in her diet iron-rich foods, but there's no need to take a supplement unless she is anaemic herself, which can affect her supply.

I hope that makes sense!

willow2 · 26/06/2006 09:51

Davros... you are so very wrong. I think it fair to be said that - as a season ticket holder of a premiership club that I have been going to watch for over twenty years - I know a wee bit about the football supporter's psyche. It's because I love football that I find myself so unmoved. Lord, even Lampard and Terry are having mares - and I say that as someone who hates Chelsea but accepts that they can play glorious football.

willow2 · 26/06/2006 21:06

I'm waiting for an apology. Dissing my football fan credentials, whatever next.

MarsLady · 26/06/2006 21:13

bring on Theo... that's all I've got to say about the matter.
