Why are you not watching the football!!!????!?

[manticore]

Thank you Spoon of Ploff and others. Most enjoyable thread I've read in ages and it's great to be kept in touch with what's going on in the beautiful sport.

[hedgehog90]

Russia v Egypt anyone?

[hedgehog90]

Why was there a girl on the pitch?

Surely that's against the law of football.

[hedgehog90]

And they're off.

[hedgehog90]

This is some excellent football playing

[hedgehog90]

The ball almost went into one of the goals then, incredible stuff.

[hedgehog90]

Just a lot of running and kicking the ball close to (but not into) the goal so far.

[hedgehog90]

They've had to replace the ball.

Hopefully now we might see some goals.

[hedgehog90]

A very excited man in a suit is standing on the side of the pitch, yelling and making all sorts of gestures towards the players.

I know we all get a bit carried away when watching a game of football, but someone should really have a word with him.

[hedgehog90]

Ball just hit the bloody ref!
Ref just kept running.
I would too.

[hedgehog90]

This has to be one of the worst games of football I've ever seen.
42 minutes in and not a single goal (from either side!!)

[hedgehog90]

Half time now.

Experts are saying that was unprecedentedly shit, and to be honest I've got to agree.

[New Jack]

It's half time

Token non-hedgehog Pro-diversity post!!

[hedgehog90]

I love you Alan but for fucks sake let them play already.

[New Jack]

Fuckin crisp pervert holding up the Beautiful Game

[hedgehog90]

Second half begins.

Players will be trying extra hard to score goals now.

[hedgehog90]

After all that they did a goal and I wasn't there to see it.
Devastated.

[hedgehog90]

1-0 to the red side.
The white side will be looking to score a goal to equalize  - or better yet - score twice for a win.

[hedgehog90]

2-0 to the reds!!!

The whites are going to need to score 3 goals now for a win. With 31 minutes left, they'll need to score a goal once every 10 minutes, while preventing the reds from scoring another.

[hedgehog90]

3-0 to the reds.

With 29 minutes left, the whites will need to score a goal once every 7.25 minutes in order to win.

Not outside the realm of possibility but seems pretty unlikely.

[hedgehog90]

Mo Salad's looking pretty miffed right now.

[Spoon of Ploff]

Why are you not watching (spam)??

[hedgehog90]

I prefer chatting with myself.

[hedgehog90]

Interference in the box.
Penalty to the whites.
With some luck the ref might reward extra points for straightness.

[hedgehog90]

THEY'VE DONE IT! STRAIGHT AND FAST! BACK OF THE NET!
Gotta be worth at least 3 points.

Edit: 3-1 !?
Biased ref.

[hedgehog90]

Red substitution cos the lad must be knackered.

[hedgehog90]

A man just held a dot matrix display with the numbers 9 and 11 next to each other.
Some sort of signal?
I knew the Russians were a bit dodgy but bloody hell.

[hedgehog90]

6 minutes to go, 3-1 to the reds.
The clock is ticking whites, come on!!

[hedgehog90]

That's it.

Whites fucked it.
