I really don't understand what all the fuss is about with regard to the "scene" stuff - I didn't find anything the band said offensive. Some of it was BS, but don't we all talk bollocks sometimes? What is a "scene" anyway? The word seems so superficial to me, like a fad or a whim. I wish it was a "community" to be honest and there are times when it feels that way too - in the way that The Moorings looks like a scary place from the outside but inside everyone who's there is by and large only interested in having a pleasant evening, or attending a Laika Come Home gig where it's plain to see that a lot of love and thought has gone into what's going on - charity donations, everything runs smooth (or appears to anyhow - and that doesn't happen by accident) and there's cake for goodness sake! Other promoters/band nights are available BTW Not that I feel particularly part of the "scene" anyway - I'm an interested bystander who doesn't know enough of the shadowy cabal at the upper echelons to be a face/name (that's my fault and my choice - but it does make getting gigs a lot harder in my experience). I have digressed and rambled. The comments about the aesthetic qualities of the lass who conducted the interview/wrote the article, however - they were pretty awful. As a child/teenager I had my aesthetic and social qualities, shall we say, called into question more times than I wish to remember. We were just kids but to see adults still at it is disheartening. Has nothing changed? Has no-one grown up? It still hurts, you know. Sticks, stones, words, they're all the same, they just cut and bruise in different ways. It's not "just the Internet" - words can hurt regardless of the delivery medium and it's high time people who cowardly trade in this kind of bottom of the barrel "humour" got that through their thick, multi-personalitied skulls.

Well they shouldn't. Quite why some people think it's OK to leave their manners and general social convention behind when they get in front of a keyboard is beyond me.

1986 was the first one I was properly aware of. Got a book about the upcoming tournament, the history of the World Cup and a'hin from the school book club. Found it (only virtually, unfortunately)

Oh well, show's over I guess. As you were...

If all else fails try a zoologist. Easy to find right at the end of the yellow pages and you never know, might do a brilliant job.

I've got way more important things to do this Saturday night.

And I'm out

Bah humbug. Losing a goal that close to the end is inexcusable. Terrible mistake in midfield, possession lost, up the park, amazing cross from Ronaldo and BOOM. Annoyed doesn't even begin to describe it. Need something from the Germany game now to be sure. AGH, SO CLOSE.

Well, you'll need 4 now...

Seriously considering going away to do something other than watching this game. That ought to make it exciting for everyone.

Neg rep from me for Lawro. As if he hasn't got enough already.

Doesn't wear a crash helmet either, perhaps could have been useful tonight Good result for USA though - through to last 16 if they beat Portugal tomorrow. Easier said than done mind.
-
Surely Iran are worse, followed closely by Greece? Also, Honduras have just scored - something Iran didn't bother trying to do if memory serves - I dozed off a few times.
-
Costa Rica continue to surprise. Totally deserve their lead.
-
Spain are in deep shit. Going to be an interesting second half.
-
What a volley by Tim Cahill! Netherlands in "not tearing Australia apart" shocker!
-
I'm shredded, watching that. A win's a win and I am pleased but I can't see USA progressing far on the evidence of tonight. Far too defensive. Lost Altidore as well, doesn't look good when players pull up like that

What do I know? Have you got all day? Off the top of my head, I'd say that I know that when I do the "machine gunning the audience" stance, I've got the biggest gun. Also aware that poker chips are for playing poker with

Much more open and flowing than I expected. Agreed that Rooney was poor. Pirlo was brilliant - the control of the ball, the pass accuracy (although not so many of the ludicrous long 100% accurate passes), and that free kick off the crossbar - amazing.

5 - 1?

What a hack from Maxi Pereira as well. Ridiculous at any time, but in the last minute? Foolish in the extreme.
