Well Spain deserved to win last night, although I do feel sorry for a good German team (did I just say that?).


Not sure I'll be supporting either in the final, as I'd be happy with either winner. Should be a good final though (hopefully).


Same applies to Rooney.


I am shocked at you Anna!!! ;-)

The octopus is fine in the early round but goes to pieces in the final, the Dutch it is.


I'm not actually as excited by the final as I hoped. Holland I've previously said I'm struggling to warm to as they've got there slightly through luck and by van Bommel's constant cheating... Spain just frustrate me and once they start tippy tappy passing I get bit, well bored.


On balance I want the Dutch to win but I'm actually looking forward to the 3/4th game much more - if they relax and play football that could be a brilliant game.

As someone with no interest in football generally, but who usually manages plenty of temporal world cup enthusiasm, En-ger-land left me cold from the off this time.


It wasn't even anything to do with their football, which was admittedly shite - even to the layman. No, it was already there before the first ball had even been mis-kicked.


After a bit of thought, what I put it down to is that my general feeling is that - more than a few England players.. just aren't very nice people. And I find it hard to root for someone just on the grounds of country/skill/blah alone.


Whether it's kicking the sh1t out of someone for not letting you choose the music, or stuffing your knob into anything that moves just because you can, or just generally being a spoilt arse lazing around by the pool with an assortment of, essentially - prostitutes - next to your twenty-six bedroom new-build mock-chateau.. all these things seem to have had a subconscious effect.


Maybe it's different for real fans innit.

Best place to watch this game? Central Madrid or Barcelona. Or Amsterdam for some solid solemn Germanic style partying. The worst? Wild Bills saloon bar in Banff where I'm sitting with four frustrated Dutch campers, a guy in full cowboy attire and a Spanish Canadian chef. At lunchtime.

      Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣

      Tried months ago, to get folk together to do something, to say thank you. Been a member of the forum for years and if you had not stepped up, would not be an active  forum. Well administered as well. So from me to you, thanks for keeping it going..  Happy Christmas and blessings and good fortune in 2026 which I am told is The Year of The Horse….
