There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

I long, long ago gave up trying to work out UEFA's discipline system.

This is apparently 6.5 times as bad as your fans being racist, or in a more directly comparable example 33 times as bad as being racist yourself. Only 4 times as bad as turning up slightly late for the second half however.

Bendtner is a cock, that seems fairly established. I think a fine would be fair game, not for breaching their precious advertising rules but because people don't want to see his arse. Not convinced about the ban though, the feck has it to do with football?

Would be pretty interesting to see someone flash a pair of Hyundai undies and see if the same punishment was dished out.

Still, Bendtner had to know this was going to happen. If UEFA didn’t fine him I’d hope Denmark would. I’m sure Morton Olsen wanted Bendtner concentrating on the task at hand, not on how to best pimp himself out to a gambling company.

You and me have widely different views on what we consider to be interesting... :wink:

A certain Keith Andrews at fault for Italy's first goal.

Another exciting conclusion again to last nights group.
Really looking forward to tonight's game now. It's refreshing to not be consumed by the usual hyped up bollox this tournament. Don't think we'll go through though. Reckon it'll be France top with Ukraine 2nd.
