@BenedictSpence It’s a 4 yearly internet battle these days to see who can claim to be the least interested in it.
It’s not compulsory. If you’re not interested, shut the fuck up whinging and put Gardener’s World on, or some shit.
@simonwatt85 Labour’s odds are shortening by the day. You can almost name your price for a Reform win now. Its looking increasingly likely he get > 50%, so it’ll be irrelevant who the rest vote for.
@KhanSaba1278 If you want to try and convince people you’re British, you need to get a better dictionary. Or a phone with spellchecker. Plus, next time you make some bullshit story up, check the going rates first. No fucker has charged anything like £15/hr for years.
@call_cole_cfc@haywhyy09 Yes, I think most non spastic cunts are aware that the European Cup started in the 1950s. Not great at history but that’s possibly a little bit after both wars?
@goonerforever07@maddycted@GreatmenArs If that’s true, you’re correct and I apologise. Although my understanding of the UEFA website is that finishing 8th gets you 10.25 points and 9th 10.00. So only quarter of point more.
@scott_gambier The trouble is that pretty much every ‘hotbed of football’ outside of South America is in Europe. Which was fine in the days of them getting every other World Cup but now it’s on the rota with all the confederations, it’s not happening.
@goonerforever07@maddycted@GreatmenArs Not automatically. If two teams finished with identical records in say 8th & 9th place, they would get the same coefficient points. The team in 9th then has two extra games to earn more points before the team in 8th plays again.
@maddycted@goonerforever07@GreatmenArs It’s a bit of a flawed system anyway. You effectively get penalised for going straight through to the last 16, over teams who play an extra two games in the play off round.
@YoungBobRB I was in the receiving end a few times myself many years ago. But clips like this almost make me yearn for a return to the days when the plod just gave smart arsed dicks like this a few digs in the back of the van and send them on their way.
