    i do love the way 'Arry can't get his club name right.

    Tottenham Hotspur not 'Hotspurs'.

    If confirmed I can see tomorrow's papers with people in the region crying under a headline of:

    'While My Qatar Gently Weeps'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,684 ✭✭✭FatherTed


    No, I hope it's not Qatar. If it is I'd love to hear the explanation.

    That's easy.

    not a chance, surely?

    whose pkelso?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,225 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Imagine the media reaction if England don't get it. The Daily Mail will be throwing all sorts of theories out there about those pesky foreigners :D.
    Hopefully they do get it though, at least we'll be close.
    England 2/1 on now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,902 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    How the fuck could England go out in the first round?

    (rhetorical question as I know how)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 460 ✭✭Gerty


    Paul Kelso, he's there. Works for the telgraph. Sly seem confident, but what else would they be?

    We've had it confirmed by @ashlingoc that #england2018 went out in the 1st round
    less than 20 seconds ago via web


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    Alot of people saying Eng went out in first round now, I think russia will win it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭Vinta81


    Rumours England went out after 1st round. FML if true.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    If Qatar can win with such a rubbish bid then we should put in a bit for 2026? Maybe 8-10 Stadia in Dublin and an 80,000 indoor ground in Athlone for the final.

    (we can use our IMF cash for the bribe of course.)

    Really?

    You don't have the government sponsored broadcaster show a programme about bribery in FIFA and expect to get away with it...

    Showing the pictures from Zurich and the English look pretty glum.

    as much as i'd like England to get it, the reaction on Sky to them not getting it would probably be of fúcking epic proportions.

    ha, Sky now reporting they haven't made it past the 1st round.

    a real fúcking joke if true.

    if true, should we be surprised?

    money and corruption is so so rife it's frightening.

    I'm listening to bbc 5 live and Gabby Marcotti just said Spanish radio says Russia has won (he was looking at twitter)

    Sky News are very sad now :(

    I can understand Russia getting it.

    For Qatar to get it, Aus/USA should walk out in disgust.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,586 ✭✭✭jaykay74


    Rio with an alternative viewpoint, unless he has been smoking the good stuff again :)

    I hope the rumours I'm hearing we HAVE NOT won the bid are false....my toes are crossed for good news...I'm sooooooo nervous here!!

    Россия – священная наша держава,
    Россия – любимая наша страна.
    Могучая воля, великая слава –
    Твоё достоянье на все времена!
    Припев:
    Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
    Братских народов союз вековой,
    Предками данная мудрость народная!
    Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!
    От южных морей до полярного края
    Раскинулись наши леса и поля.
    Одна ты на свете! Одна ты такая –
    Хранимая Богом родная земля!
    Припев
    Широкий простор для мечты и для жизни
    Грядущие нам открывают года.
    Нам силу даёт наша верность Отчизне.
    Так было, так есть и так будет всегда!
    Припев

    Well at least Sky will get to enjoy Qatar possibly winning the bid seeing as they're sponsored by Qatar Airways. Stupid if it's true
