What a prick, I can't even begin to describe how much I hate people like that idiot.

 

[ianrauk]

I cannot believe in this day and age even the Daily Mail would print that pile of ignorant racist bile. It's beyond a joke.

Rather than think of just using the off button option on his TV this tosser has to write to the Daily Mail with his vile bilge and let the rest of us know just what a scumbag he is. And worse still they actually print it.

 

[soulful dog]

It's sad that there are still people out there who actually think things like that.

Surely this was written by one of the Viz people and the Daily Mail thought it was real???

It read like a wind-up to me.

Most of them live in my street...

to be fair, he has a point though. there are quite a few meaningless games in the group stage!

it's a shame that people think it's OK to use such terms in public, it's a shame that the Mail saw fit to print them, and it's a shame that the grauniad has got nothing better to do than pore through the mail every day hoping to be offended...

it's the meaningless games that are the most enjoyable - not least when they turn out to be far from meaningless because teams turn out to be adventurous. Remember Nigeria 1994, the attacking play of Japan and South Korea in 2002, and Ivory Coast v. Holland in 2006. The Scots still get pleasure from the victory against Holland in 1978

This year I'm looking forward to Serbia v. Ghana, any game you like in Group E, Paraguay v. Slovakia, Ivory Coast v. Portugal (which will doubtless be enlivened by Christiano Ronaldo complaining every time his mascara runs), and Switzerland v. Chile.

It doesn't take much to please the poor dears, does it?
