Match Day Thread Euro Qualifiers

From what I have seen so far (28 minutes in), it will be nowhere near a double figure pasting. 4 or 5 will be good I would think.

Edit - as soon as I wrote that, England score a soft 2nd goal (deflection)

 

I haven't attempted to verify this, but major if it's true

OWN GOAL becomes England's all time joint-record top scorer with 49, level with Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton

 

Sign him up, just what we need

 

Half time report

San Marino 0-2 England
Rooney (penalty, but no-one seems to know why, or at least not confirmed yet)
O.G.

Just like watching Norwich v Cardiff, or Cardiff v Norwich - only without as many shots on target.
Lots of passing but bugger all penetration, that said the San Marino team is clearly performing a damage limitation exercise.
Joe Hart is busy scratching his arse

 

We did, don't you remember? He came second one season behind Leroy Lita, who was on loan.
I can't remember the year, but I'm getting a Rodent-like stench here?

 

You need to learn the art of selective memory. Ask the wife how she does it

 

I like that their top scorer has scored 8 of their 20 total, but hasn't scored for 7 years.

As the commentator said, all strikers have dry spells!

 

5-0 - never looked like happening but the 2nd half has seen more quality with decent balls from midfield at times.

 

Make that 6-0

Who opened the floodgates?

 

Shock, horror!!!!!

Joe Hart forced in to making a save on 83 minutes!

 

Since we're never short of conspiracy theorists on here, why were England given the Penalty?

 

So, Laffers to do the business at Windsor Park tonight? I'd love to see it
Congrats also to Iceland, qualifying for a tournament for the first time in their history - not bad for a place with a total population of 329,100
In 8 of the previous 10 qualifying groups, they came last or second to last, so to make it through with two (2) matches to go is pretty awesome

 

Hup Holland Hup?

Poor, poor Netherlands.

 

Amazing effort for a supermarket

 

You'll upset canary Dave if you keep gazumping his lame xmas cracker 'jokes'

 

I've seen the adverts, it's not a supermarket, it's a meeting place for penguins!

 

A p..p..p..p..pick up place then

<coat>

 

....... Other chocolate biscuits are available ............

 

Unbelievable, Laffs pops up in the last minute and does the business for Norn Iron again!! That's seven in eight for him this campaign, quite remarkable stuff! He got booked as well so he's out of their next game, w wonder if he'll get a chance with us this season?

 

It'll gradually get worse, there are plenty of regions in Europe toying with the idea of independence, things like Venice wanting to be separate from of Italy for an example! The thing which worries me is FIFA wanted to cut the amount of UEFA countries qualifying for the world cup! Instead having more teams from Asia and Africa.
