RD - what was it made me think you were Irish?

The World Cup draw nearly did not happen tonight:


"Two people arrested after discovery of a bomb at the world cup draw".........


Two arrested at World Cup draw


Paddy and Mick were arrested after shouting at a dark skinned man " Oi Thierry, keep your thieving hands off our bomb....."

Ratty, I've always thought the majority of Englands' match going support comes from fans outside of the top Premiership teams, although they won't admit it, most fans want a chance of glory and if their club can't provide it then they look to the national team...

Well it is our first in 29 years ! Might mean little but at least its something at long last, acorns and oak trees

England are now second favourites at 5-1 with William Hill.... "we can win it this time" etc etc


It's always interesting for us non England fans to watch the gradual media hysteria building up down here. The Tartan Army have the opposite problem - we expect to lose! Whilst my prediction is a quarter final exit to Germany on penalties England have to be happy with that draw. Good luck to them though.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
