England Team Should Pay their Own Way Home!

No idea what lawyers do on their fences. I prefer to look over the fence and pull faces. It's much more fun.


Now, what were you telling the English team to do, from over there in Oz: pay their own way home, etc?
I'd imagine they wouldn't bat an eyelid, even if they had to and I suspect it wouldn't improve their game in the slightest.
There, an opinion.

So you do think the Sun is good newspaper...

 

Amen.

 

England team, Skip. There isn't a UK one.

 

Oh , when I say England it's UK and now it's the opposite, no wonder you end up driving on the wrong side of the road

 

dbf....an opinion from you is like an enema. So far, youve given nothing of any substance on any subject, except to attack me. Why not go to the amanda Knox Website and join. Then you can air you grievances in an approriate forum, but watch out! You are liable to be treated exactly as you are treating me at the moment.

What am I saying? Cowards like yourself who sit on the fence wouldn't do something like that. You, it seems would rather sit on this website and attack someone like me, a safe play with minimal risk of your lack of knowledge being exposed for all to see. So why not take up the challenge?

I would surmise you haven't the intestinal fortitud for something as brave as that.

BTW....I said that the Sun was a good newspaper "COMPARED to the stuff we get in australia".

Of course, someone of your limited intelligence wouldn't figure that out at all.

 

anyway dbf....How could you NOT like a paper with consistently great pictures of girls tits in it?

Are you sexually challenged as well?

No I'm sorry, thats too personal, I withdraw that.

 

too late.
Why look at pictures when the real thing is right in front of me.

 

I'm a UK taxpayer & I'm really not that interested.

 

I'm a UK taxpayer too & the team I support is still in the competition.

 

dbf....if your team is still in the comp, its pointless of you to post on this thread.

This thread is for those who have had a team knocked out, and don't want our government to pick up the tab for their failure.

Sorry to disppoint you. You can go back to the female section of this site, and discuss cookery in the blitz, or the Women's Land Army and their accomplishments, or WREN uniforms. something more gender appropriate, rathr than manly stuff you have no idea about.

thanks for your interest!

 

You really have no clue have you.
I think dbf over the years has proved, elsewhere, that she knows far more about the 'manly' stuff than alot of people.

 

I couldn't care less. I'm sick of being harrassed by someone who has no such restraints on her own conduct, being an employee.



And a women military historians? Well, Barbara Tuchman wasn't that significant. We know "The Guns of August" is quite a flawed concept. WW1 did NOT begin because of a "breakdown in communication between the Great Powers." It mattered not one wit that JKF read it, it's a book that has had it's day and gone.

Lynn MacDonald, who wrote "The Roses of No Man's Land, "Somme"", and "They called it Passhendeale" had a well researched yet flawed idea of how to write Great War history. In "Somme", she told us that "Most troops went into battle with over 80 pounds of equipment and ammunition strapped to their backs," Despite photos, film, and testimony to the contrary. She painted douglas Haig as an unmaginitive butcher, ignoring the fact that if it wasn't Haig, it would have been somebody else, and doing exactly the same thing that Mrs Macdonald so derided; attacking! I don't think Lynn Macdonald ever read or even heard of a British Historian called JOHN TERRAINE. If she had, all her books would have been very different. Instead, we got a profusion of first person accounts, that she wove together with her own concept of what was going on.

Great first hand accounts, and very poor history. all from taking an emotional perspective and running with it, rather than letting the evidence do the talking.

I find history written from an emotional perspective to be flawed. I also find letting your emotions get in the way of something like dbf's job to be also flawed.

 

No doubt there will be a visit from my shadow......dbf where are you? You're ON....QUE!

 

Quite frankly, I think you should be kicked off this forum, and I am surprised the moderators haven't done so by now.

Que?

:mellow:
So, just let me sum this up this logic of yours:-
An incorrect assumption about the funding of the English national football team is implied in the title and is stated in the first post;
Earlier responses on this thread from Americans who don't pay UK taxes, and whose national team is currently placed 2nd in their group, are acceptable by you;
Earlier responses from a Scot, currently still a UK taxpayer , whose national team - like mine - didn't qualify to go to Brazil, is acceptable;
Posts by yourself, and you've stated you live in Australia, used to live in UK, seemingly are interested in two national teams, are relevant.

Yet I, paying UK taxes, holding a British passport, living in the UK, a long-standing supporter of a non-UK national team, not a lawyer btw, should be excluded from responding here, 'cos I don't support England, or Australia, or any other team which has been kicked out of the current FIFA World Cup.


And then you rant on about how women are illogical and emotional and therefore shouldn't have anything to do with military history.



How odd.

 

Back later, I'm off next door to read some WW2 shit

 

dbf...if you weren't such a troll, (internet trolling that is), I would gladly back down and aplogize for my ill concieved comments regarding women military historians.

However, because you've shown no inclination to carry on in any fashion other than a spoiled employee of the site who can get away with any conduct you feel like, I'll let them stand.

How many military history books have you read? How many have you written? By far the major majoity of people involved in serious military history are men.

The way you've carried on since the Amanda Knox debate has been a disgrace. You didn't give me a second glance before that. I think you've just got something personal now, and are using your sex and position inappropriately.

I would not have made ANY comments concerning females without your comments. I would still be discussing football, and joking about what a sad performance both Australia and England have made of the tournament.

I always thought Scots were more intelligent than that. Seems my impression of Scots from watching Neil Oliver was mistaken..

 

All your assumptions about me to date are incorrect.

Not a lawyer.
Not a man.
Not American.
Not a troll.
Not a Scot.

Not an historian/author.
Not an employee of the site.


So, I read more than I post. Nowt wrong with that. No ranting in my posts, no name calling. In other words, an ordinary registered member like the great majority here. You really should try doing that some time, maybe you'd last longer.

 

Bloody soccer fans...!
