I just thought it might be an idea to start one of those 'where were you' style topics. Kind of like the whole idea of where were you when Kennedy was killed or when the twin towers were targeted etc. So just to be a bit nosey and for something to talk about, where were YOU when England lost on pens to Portugal? I was in the Long Bar upstairs above the Crucible watching it with some student friends of mine. How about everyone else ?

The Leadmill

I was at Medusa's for Jimbob's Birthday BBQ.. And got erm, a bit drunk on 5 Pints of Lager :blush:

At home, in front of the TV, laughing my socks off.

crashed on the bed watching the Simpsons...

Which time?

'86? '90? '98? '02? '06?

At home, in front of the TV, laughing my socks off.

Suppose you'd think it unacceptable if that statement provoked a reaction?

on the settee at home, couldnt watch anymore of that shower, so turned over to watch magnifcent 7 . pity, england couldn,t shooot as straight .

I was betting on Portugal to win:P , not that i'm routing for anyone, i just betted halfway through for a team and seen as england had loads of people sent off i thought i should bet for portugal to win:D

Loads being one?

Why should I think it unacceptable? :confused: I don't support England, so I doubt I'd get stroppy because of some reaction on here.

sat in front of the tv at home without any beer :P

Loads being one?
oh i dunno i meant beckham was on the bench and another got sent off.

anyhow we can ask the scots the same question ,when( im made of chocolate) murray crashes out of wimbledon

On settee at home, I think they played brilliantly, they did so well to get this far, no need for Rooney to act like a spoilt brat though.

Obviously a troll then!

Define troll ....... or are England so sacred and untouchable that only 'fans' may comment on them?:confused:

We missed 50 minutes as we had a power cut all over wisewood and Loxley... forunately my little lad managed to produce a small battery powered radio that we listened to until the power came back on.

Laughing at peoples misfortune, in this case the england players and the fans and then feeling like you need to share that with people. Tends to make people think you are a c*ck!

I was on the grassy knoll .. where were you ?

It was only the third match I`d ever watched in my life, Ive never seen England win so I`m starting to think I jinxed them.

Thought they'd be used to it by now.

The England players = Misfortune of their own making (since 1966)
The fans = They got no sense of humour then?? It's a game. A GAME!!!!

The good thing about a public forum is that you are allowed to express your opinions. If some don't share those opinions, then hard lines.

When Germany go out, feel free to have a snipe at them. I won't lose my grasp on reality because of it.

Never thought I'd say this but hope they win it considering who are left in the tournament!

We agree!!

Sorry if my snipe at England upset you, but my relationship with English football has been very thin since Sven the Robot took over.

It's ok, perhaps a little over reaction on my part. Glad Svens going now but could have done with Allardyce being given the job going forward........

Oh, I was in scarborough by the way - for someones birthday then in Yates' for the game!

I was in t'other room on t'internet, but I could hear it in't background and missus going Ooh, Aah, Oh no!

You sure she was watching the match?????:suspect:

In the Oasis at Meadowhall

In the Millhouse on the Drakehouse retail park paying 1st class pricess for lager whilst watching a third rate refereeing performance from a referee trying to control a second rate Portugeese theatrical drama against what has failed to be proven as a world class England team.

fly mine all year round proud to be english :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

^can't go wrong there. Funny how most flags DO seem to come out purely when England are playing football in a big tournament like this and stay up for however long they stay in for. Thing is compaired to somewhere like America, we don't seem to be AS patriotic as them in keeping the flag flying on a more constant basis...quite sad really. Having said that I have heard of people being told to take down their England flags for...dum dum dum!!!!!! Upsetting the none English part of our society. My what a terrible cleche' and quite annoying aswell come to think of it. My feeling is, it's our Counrty, has been for about 1997 years (until New Labour took the helm) so why not keep 'our' flag flying for however long we chuffin' well like!!

It was on in the afternoon in the US, I watched it in the living room, my huband fell asleep in the bedroom, belive it or not I invited the post man in the watch the last 10 minutes:o , I know he had been following the other matches all week, he was delighted, 10 minutes out of the heat and a big glass of cold water, then he was on his way.

At my boyfriend's, watching Wimbledon on the other channel, had a feeling it wouldn't be one to watch!

I was camping in Derbyshire.:)

Stop talking about yourself and try turning off your capslock key!

Stop talking about yourself and try turning off your capslock key!so u think beckham is a hero,he walked off,made out he was injured,then got up shouting at ref,then remembed about the injury.......over paided n** in my eyes,

so u think beckham is a hero,he walked off,made out he was injured,then got up shouting at ref,then remembed about the injury.......over paided n** in my eyes,

There is a difference between walking and playing football on a bad foot! The ref was a disgrace, Ronaldo was a discrace... I'd have got myself a life time ban for throttling the little c**t if I'd been on the pitch!!!

I was at Medusa's for Jimbob's Birthday BBQ.. And got erm, a bit drunk on 5 Pints of Lager :blush:
fab night at the BBQ for jimbo birthday

ps i was gettin mi titties burnt on skeggy beach

^Nice. you got your baps burnt on the beach, and England got burnt on the pitch. Nice day for burning :D

was this a had for wish u was here?

i was at the star in conisborough, the footie team watch the match in there & they make it a fantastic atmosphere as they never shut up singing. there were alot of people crying outside afterwards!

so u think beckham is a hero,he walked off,made out he was injured,then got up shouting at ref,then remembed about the injury.......over paided n** in my eyes,

Beckham has an injured Achilles Tendon.

the hadfield in crookesmoor - brilliant atmosphere right up untill ronaldo scored his pen - i dont know what the atmosphere was like afterwards, i walked straight out.

oh well...onwards and upwards eh? Now sven has gone and becks probably wont play anymore, we should get a good outfit together for the euros. Still doesnt disguise the fact that im absolutely gutted tho...

he walked off,made out he was injuredHis fake injury is keeping him out for several weeks. :loopy:

On my Mum's sofa, drifting in and out of sleep thanks to a few tiring days... Only to be woken by "Ooos" and "aaahhs" from less-sleepy spectators :P

Watching with my Scottish bf who was having a very stressful time, but was very please with himself after the shoot-out....

Sat on the Sofa at home giving lots of Ooos and aaahhs out x :)

So you didnt see much of the game then :D

Where were you when England crashed out of the World Cup?

1970 - home with dad (still the most painful)
1974 - home with dad (Poland-ouch)
1978 - no idea
1982 - university mates
1986 - pub in Southampton
1990 - at work - Ringinglow Road
1994 - no idea
1998 - home with partner
2002 - holiday cottage in Cornwall
2006 - home with partner
2010 - does not apply as England will win

In my local pub in Derby, head in hands, wondering why the ref had deemed it necessary to reduce us to 10 men against the 12 on his side!!

Quote from Neville on the Friday before entertained me though - Neville said: "In four years' time we are in South Africa, it could be 45C degrees, "
Has no-one told this bright spark that in June it is winter in the southern hemisphere. Temperatures in Johannesberg may be as low as zero!!!

There is a difference between walking and playing football on a bad foot! The ref was a disgrace, Ronaldo was a discrace... I'd have got myself a life time ban for throttling the little c**t if I'd been on the pitch!!!
ref was a disgrace: were you actually watching the game?????
he did a great job- didnt stop the game needlessly or hand out cards when they werent required. rooney was a fool for standing on someone (in a manner which could lead to a criminal inquiry if the portugese player decided to press charges) then shoving an oppenent, both actions right in front of the ref. ronaldo may have been trying to rile his opponents by appealing to the ref but that is common practise from most players (english players included! especially when playing for man utd!). so how else was he a disgrace?????

In my back garden, I couldn't bear to watch the final penalty from Ronaldo :(

Thats the biggest load of bile I've ever read. I think my eyes are going to bleed! The utter shat you drivel out no doubt influenced by your routes north of the border! Face it! You can't even qualify!!!!!!!!!!!

In a kitchen with nobikejohn, where we were cooking an 8 course Chinese banquet for 9 people round at my friend's house. The two men who watched the match remained somewhat dour for the remainder of the evening. Good grub though - even though I say it myself! ;)
