Right here's how this works.

We hammer Brazil 7-1.

Then Netherlands beat the Argies

So we have an all European Final.

You will find the usual envelope under your seat

OK.

I'd go along with that Martinn. .........there's no envelope under my seat! Its a TRICK!

A Dutch / Deutsche final? Wow!

Jellybaby1

My boys are ready and chomping at the bit. BRING IT ON!!!!

martinn123

Not a great game so far,............come on ......either team.

Jellybaby1

There is too much activity at the Dutch end. This is a tougher match, and I is getting scared now. I do not believe that first free was deserved, no, it definitely was not deserved.

Red Hare

Its very tense :eek:

Jellybaby1

Ah bum! Very unsatisfactory, so disappointing. I just fired our goalie, pity we couldn't have put that mountain of a man into goal. What a way to end.

Red Hare

Hard luck Jellybaby!

Jellybaby1

I'm weeping into my tea! And we have another game to play too. I can't take much more of this, I can't!

Hey lads, we appear to have a real ofisheon...offichyon...expert in our ranks - someone who understands frees in soccer. Is this allowed? I vote to disqualify any O or O who understands the offside rule and impose lesser penalties, on a sliding scale, for knowledge of lesser rules, e.g:
Rule 1.2.1.13: A scone, with buhher, is forfeit for knowing the "you can't play unless you walk on holding hands with a little boy" rule;
Rule 2.1.4.11: A big slice of madeira cake is forfeit for knowing the rule about crying at the ref and your coach if the baddie takes the ball from you.

I will provide inspection, Quality Control and, if required, disposal of any or all of the proceeds, free of charge.

You're welcome.

Commiserations Jellybaby. You did your best with them:)

See you in the final Red Hare.

OK if I read these later? There's sailing on tonight and I feel like a bit of a sit on the beach......all by myself........with binoculars.........alone........

I did wonder though.....if it's an Argie / Deutsche final (I think), just who can the Ingerlish cheer for? I would suggest they support Deutscheland because, to echo the thoughts of Myles na gCopaleen, Germany gave England the three things they hold most dear, i.e. the monarchy, the Protestant religion and the BMW 5 Series.

Well obviously they can't support the Argies, I seem to remember some disagreement over Les Malvinas.

And the Big one 1966, and all that, I think the chant was " Two world wars and a World Cup"

I think they will stay in Weatherspoons, and drink Krap beer, and plot against Hodges.

P.s Don't tell Muffler, but his team has to play again on Sat.

Wonder how the crowd will welcome them.

Of the three the only one I hold dear is the Monarchy really and I can't agree that the Germans gave it to us. .....just as I can't claim to be Irish even though the family is from Dublin.

Well, Myles was writing in the 1950's and wasn't known for his accuracy, sobriety, politeness or tact. In fact, his inaccuracies often made his writings funnier. Sort of a verbose Alf Garnett.

So, will the Rubeculand barbie have Argentinian steak and wine or wurst and pilsner next Sunday?

I can drink wine but not a great lover of it. I used to like Warsteiner Pilsner :cool:

As for Steak or Wurst...... Can I have both?

Regarding the footy. Heart says Germany but head says Argentina.

I did say before the start that Argentina would win, and I can't really change my mind on that. :rolleyes:

Who will I cheer on? The team that plays the best and most entertaining football, or no one.

martinn123

Well, I have been on the Met Eireann Web-site, and their best guess for Sunday, is clear skies, no rain, and relatively warm temperatures

So perfect barbecue weather.

Can we have your best recipes for a World Cup Final feast.

to help,

Or perhaps

I would welcome some beer, and wine suggestions, all I can think of is ''Dutch Gold''.

Finally I will be taking bets, on Brens's guests not turning on the Tele.

I had a ''significant birthday bash'' a few weeks ago.
First the Brother in Law, found the remote, then a game started, and in no time the front room was full of beer swilling eejits, shouting at the TV.

Jellybaby1

I discovered my Dutch Gold was merely fool's gold, sadly!

Well, statistically speaking, I suppose it is "possible" that the telly "might" spontaneously activate itself and this fenom event "might" be witnessed by "some" guests and the shock of it "might" render them wobbley-kneed and they "possibly might" have to sit down, on sofas, to confirm that the telly spontaneously came alive, taking oxygen. councelling and strong beverages to restore their composure. Of course, in the role of mein host, I would facilitate their recovery....until their attention was firmly returned to my grandson.

I always tend to try to learn from the past and seem to remember a similar miracle, some time ago, in Ballinspiddal. Maybe the invites should suggest bringing a bottle....and rosary beads.

Red Hare

May I suggest the finest German wine...;)

Oh-oh! RedHare, you are swimming in dangerous waters. You are dicing with death. You are stepping over the parapet. You are dead meat, mate!

And may God have mercy on your soul!
