Great thread. I enjoyed reading it.
Mors is a good WUM and Molbystwin has a major chip on his shoulder.
FIFA are cunts alright, changing the rules so close to the end of the groups the way the are is poor form. If it was known before the group stages that the play-off draw would be seeded then is fine, everyone knows where they stand. Like someone said in this thread (Frogfish, I think) the big teams have already had their advantage by being seeded for the groups. That really should have been enough for teams like Germany, France and Portugal to get the job done in the first place.
I don't mind the English lads have a laugh or a joke about this. It's all banter.
I am sure some 'injustice' will befall England at the upcoming WC which I can take immense pleasure from. Can't wait!!

That was my point actually Stu... you say cant wait for England to get on the plane back bitter at the injustice and yet its the englishman who has a chip on his shoulder... go figure eh...
To expect FIFA to be anything other than cunts is naiive, thats not to say it is unfair however, IMO the fact remains that the better teams make for a better WC.
As it happens I am of Irish stock myself and would rather enjoy seeing the republic qualify and this thread was rightly hijacked by Mors and his extreme banter, originally it was not an Ireland vs England nonsense.
I think it was rightly Hijacked for the fully justified chip.
I wouldn't worry to much as i reckon they will qualify anyway.

Listen man, I am just trying to help the banter along.
I knew the last two lines would get a bite.
We need to have these Ireland v England threads every so often, it helps wash out the bad blood so we can all be mates again. Well most of us, not Mors though, he's a cunt.
