Not sure, but fixtures are out on Wednesday, getting quite excited, I do miss our hopelessly inept drama ridden team in the summer months.......I always stick a tenner on them getting promoted, nothing like a bit of blind faith and optimism when it comes to my football club (beer) (beer) (beer) (beer) (beer)......if I have enough of these I might go for twenty :)

It did remind me of a few games up at City over the last couple seasons.

Home to Southend... Eughhhh(n)
I know exactly what you mean, Torquay aside that was the worst for me last year.....

Backing Gary Caldwell, thanks Matt and good luck.
initial reaction? It took a mighty two seconds from the no goal against the post (which didn't need to be shown because it wasn't a goal line incident any more than Pirlo's free kick against the England bar was) to the actual goal to be shown. There was no time for controversy, and no need for controversy.
Well I don't know how else to phrase it if controversy has to span a certain period of time. You are quite right that the first bit shouldn't of been shown, but the fact that it was meant that for a brief moment the commentator, spectators and the Hondurans were confused. I guess its just a case of something new, but agreed that had their not been the goal line technology it would have created more debate although France would have won even had the goal been ruled out.

Re the Germans I did take plenty of enjoyment watching the expression on Ronaldo's face :D and tonights game is a bit more like it ;) wondered how long it would take for a boring match with little action.

Possibly mate, not been back there for years, we normally go on our summer holiday at some point in August, but if I'm around I'd fancy it, will let you know once the Mrs has informed me on holiday timings !.......on the wine for a change :)

Are you watching Nigeria vs Iran Al ?, very open so far, suspect it is going to be very entertaining, love lots of huffing and puffing, mistakes and wildly differing tactics me !!
Missed the first half and am thinking I should have missed the second as well.

Unfortunately I have the wretched Nigeria in a sweepstake.
