Euro 2016 Final - Sunday 10th July

Not sure I can handle another 30 minutes of this

Very grown up, I've heard the idea loads of times but never seen anyone do it.

Well, for me at least, it's rare you spend an entire evening drinking in one place at one table, plus most of us were 35 plus so were all well aware how bad the next day could be.

It was a perfect storm of sensibility. I doubt it'll happen again anytime soon.

Not so much actually, I'd say it was about the same as usual (I have a small child's bladder, I hope they don't miss it much) It was probably more like half to two thirds of a pint for each pint, we just had the barmaid bring jugs of iced water to the table & we all had half pint glasses.

I was quite proud of myself cos it was my idea to ask them for them & as half the group were driving back home from the lakes the next day it was decided it was indeed a good idea.

Hmmmmm controlled drinking plan..... *backs off slowly from thread*

Sure what else could you do on a Sunday night, with work the next day?

I have a radiator to remove and curtain poles to put up, I'd say either is more entertaining than this

Hahaha perfect storm of sensibility. Yes, this is your 30s

I think it's more consciously drinking water as opposed to controlled drinking!

I actually done all my chores earlier and now I can't think of any to do. Well, there's loads I could do but I would risk waking the child.

Even this match is better than that outcome.

Quite. 12 pints is not controlled. Neither is asking the driver if this is the only taxi in Keswick about fifteen times & everyone cackling each time on a five minute journey. Fuck she had the patience of a saint that lady.

Gignac looks tasty every time I have seen him. What's his story? How did he end up in La Liga Mexico?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Off the post! That couldn't have been much closer!

 

[FoxForceFive]

Yay, another whole THIRTY MINUTES.

JOY!

Yea don't risk that

I'm not actually going to do either it those things when sitting on my arse is an option

I know. It was glorious that miss!

12 pints. Not sure I could do it these days. The last time I was properly drunk I only had about 8 pints and I suffered the next day.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Can they sub Ronaldo back on just to miss a penalty? Please?

 

[Athens]

I see Ronaldo is still wearing the kit.

Will he do a John Terry?

 

[Leo]

Another reason why football is becoming unbearable to watch.
Over coached cynical tactics with fuck all entertainment or value for money.
It's becoming more boring than chess.
Fuck off.

Opening day of the euros. Got there for about 3pm after walking from 8am that morning (10 miles) & then a 3 mile walk to the pub. Left at about 12, plus we ate a meal too. The 4 'kids' (in their mid twenties) were doing shots & drinking rum too. Those were the days.

There was a time in my life where 13 pints SEEMED quite controlled. Holy fuck life looks different 10 years on.

Deschamps got it wrong starting Giroud ahead of him.

 

[Markeh]

Martial on to win it

Yep, if I was back home within twenty four hours of leaving I classed as a quiet night once. Now if I'm back after midnight I think it's a mad one.

 

[willby]

I've never fucked a French girl actually.

I imagine it's a bit off putting when she shouts "Oui, Oui, Oui, Oui, OOOUUUUIIIIII!" though.

Be like listening to a kid on a swing.

If I was sure that I didn't have to do ANYTHING the next day, I would certainly enjoy attempting the 12 pints. Well, at the time, of course. Not the next day.

 

[Hansern]

This is shite. Really shite

 

[FoxForceFive]

I've actually had my tablet in front of the screen for much of the second half & extra time. It's improved it no end.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Sloppy that, no way he should let that go out. Tired legs.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I've just realised, if Portugal get beat now or on penalties we may get to see Ronaldo cry AGAIN!

A double header! Every cloud & all that.

It sums up the whole tournament for me. The weather didn't help - it always feels better when it's hot and sunny - but this has felt like watching an under-21s tournament rather than a senior one. A few great moments but they were evanescent. Hardly any good performances, no really great games.
