A Horse With No Name Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Just strikes me, as with the laser pen last week, some fans feel we have to cheat to win this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italy fans would do exactly the same if the final was being played in Rome. I wouldn't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t the first and won’t be the last to try and unsettle an opposition the night before outside of their hotel room. The Turks, Greeks Italians Spanish and pretty much the whole of europe have been doing this sort of thing for YEARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Tinpot. Don’t care if Italians would do it in Rome - it’s like a child saying ‘he started it’! See also booing of national anthems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 12 seconds of fireworks, that's ****** it for Italy then..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Before you all get too high up on those horses this non-stop 10 second bombardment happened in a "nearby" village with no complaints from the Italians made. Sources have confirmed that the display wasn't right outside Varati's bedroom window and that whilst we would all prefer it never happened at all there isn't enough in it to embark on a moral crusade all afternoon, wish nothing but ill on England (there are enough from all over other parts of the UK and Europe on that little bandwagon) and therefore no longer enjoy the game tonight.

italian dave Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 There was me thinking this was going to be about flares and a row about the rights and wrongs of letting them off inside grounds.

Numero Uno Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 As someone said on that Twitter thread if you really wanted to cause a stir with fireworks you would be better off being there around now when players are having a pre-match nap.......... Just comes across as the most amateur of amateur stunts from someone who only had a tenner in his/her pocket when he/she bought the fireworks, couldn't get closer than about three miles to the hotel and literally made no difference to Italian preparations at all. That said it gives those morally impeccable Scots, Welsh, Irish, Spanish, Armenians, Croatians, French, Germans, Moldovans, Russians, Australians, Ugandans, Serbians, South Africans, Dutch, Belgians, Danish, Americans etc. on Social Media something to moan at the English about though so at least some good came from the sorry episode.

It doesn’t take much for them to moan about the bloody English tbf but the hatred towards us quite frankly is astonishing on social media,makes me proud of being English in some kind of perverse way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I used to work with a chap who was a member of of the Bristol Morris Men side. Each May Day they used to do an entire day of dancing starting at dawn - 4.00 am (don’t ask me why). They used to do it on Castle Park until the manager of the Bristol Marriott hotel turned up and told them to piss off as they were annoying the guests. They couldn’t understand why people didn’t want to listen to / watch Morris dancing at 4.00 in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireworks yes, the teams no doubt expect and accept it.. The use of laser pens in the ground NO. The only reason you’d take a laser pen to a match is to do something like the other night.

In what way is it one of these things? What does Tinpoint mean? 1 : something that is extremely small or insignificant. 2 : the point of a pin. 3 : an extremely small or sharp point.

Reigate Red Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 This is an interesting article about the problems England had to put up with in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Booby Moore arrested, imported food and drink confiscated and destroyed, disruption at night outside of hotel, refused permission to fly between venues and possibly Gordon Banks poisoned. https://englandmemories.com/2017/11/09/englands-mexico-70/ A few fireworks in a nearby village - the games gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
