Very pleased for the Welshers and all that but those post match celebrations were just a tad daft

[7evens]

How anyone can slide across the turf, fists pumping, having just lost a game 2-0 is beyond me.
I get the qualification bit but it's a racing certainty that they're going out in the preliminary group stages. :shrug:

[Classic Jorge]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

like Albania and Wales in it. And Wales will probably get into the last 16 given even 3rd placed teams in a group of 4 will be in the last 16. Platini is a c**t.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

The point of the group stages is to qualify, which they did. Wd Wales.

Given how rarely this has occurred in Welsh Football then the achievement is a big moment for them. They have some decent players to be fair and 1 brilliant player, similar to other countries that have qualified. Not sure a group stage exit is nailed on unless their rather generous FIFA ranking works against them.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

nailed on they get out of the group.

[7evens]

Enjoy your moment but calm down love/mate, you're not going to get anywhere near the live shows :rolleyes:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

It’s the culmination of hard work over a period of time. Sometimes when I click Save on a spreadsheet with a few formulae in it I propel myself backwards in my chair and seek high and low fives.

I don't watch the XFactor.

To put that into some historical perspective that's even before spurs had last won the league

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

NI, Albania and we have a 50/50 chance now in the play-offs, though we hockeyed the world champions last week.

Not sure what is the point of such teams in a major tournament.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I'm not a spod.

[IUFG]

VBA loving cnuts, those that do!

Whilst there are more nations in the eurozone now I'm still not entirely sure that's a decent number for the competition.

Also, I think you need to go 8/16/32, rather than 24, which is just odd

8 groups of 3 would be **** also.

[Classic Jorge]

Like Scotland and the Dutch

[Fred Killah]

[Snin]

when beating any of the teams in there qualification group as they all ***ing ****e

[Ashberto]

Though they were generously given the three points after their mafia engineered the provocation in Belgrade. Doubtless silver crossed the palm of Platini.

They qualified so deserve to go there, just cannot see them offering anything other than zero points and goal difference to the real sides.

Like Ireland in the last Euros. Played 3 lost 3, hockeyed in 3.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Last week Aguero, now this.

[Fred Killah]

Turning into a silver fox, our once beloved Robin has :nod:

There was a piece on him recently about hating life in Turkey, not getting much/any playing time at Fenerbache and throwing major strops all over the place :cloud9:

[Classic Jorge]

Robin, well I dont care one bit who know it, I wish that perfidious c**t nothing but misfortune.

[barrybueno]

I'm out of my league here aren't I?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You're a charlatan, and not one of the good ones.

[Ashberto]

[barrybueno]

But then I thought, first tournament since 1958, f**k it let them enjoy. Bless 'em

The 3 straight after TS could all stand up I thought.

Their most recent 33 however is up there with their very best.

[Classic Jorge]

I'm a firm believer that once a band passes its sell by date it's time to move on.

No bands get back better again, to carry on trying to believe that they could do is madness.

[Ashberto]

Often when they return to what they're good at, and what people liked about them in the first place.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Superb and some of the new album songs will be mainstays of the set list for years.

Any band that operates +20 year will invariably have some lesser quality work in their catalogue. These boys did have a few albums where Gary Neville clearly was focused on other things.
