Get in! I'll bring a baseball bat with me.

Even clubbing the keeper over the head wont help you score you know

Obviously, I'd have been sent off.

Not with these crap refs

You and Dave will probably need the baseball bat to club the ref.

If its that old ref tonight and he's as bad as usual he's getting both barrells

He's shocking. He gives fouls for nothing challenges, then the blatant fouls he plays on! One lad a few weeks ago got completely and utterly crunched in a tackle, the person tackling him was nowhere near the ball and all you heard the ref shout was "get up, he won the ball". At that point even I was screaming at the ref along with all of their players.

Ash, do you fancy doing a betting syndicate to (attempt) to pay for England games?

Me you and Big Mac could take turns to have a £5 on something, so its £5 each every 3 weeks and any money won goes into a pot to pay part or all (if were lucky) for the next England trip?

Only the person whose turn it is bets and the others aren't allowed to influence it?

He even gets basics wrong like letting teams score from their own half of the pitch or letting the keeper kick it out. Thats how games start to turn nasty

You've been reading the betting thread on Other Sports.

Correct

What do you reckon?

Aye, we can give it a go. We just need to tell Big Mac not to do his 100 team accumulators and we may be ok.

Aye



was thinking accys that pay around 10-1 would be ideal really.

My treble would have paid just under 11/1 last night had Man City won (not a clue how they didn't having seen the highlights). Doesn't need to be loads of teams. Pick teams with decent odds and stick to two/three teams.

Would only need 3 or 4 to come in and it would pay for the train and hotel for us.

Even if you put the £5 on a bet that pays out at evens, it's still £10. If we did that every week, it'd be £40 a month which would come in handy.

With big gaps between games it would mean we could hopefully pay for the games withough having a big layout in one go. Have a word with Big Mac and see if he is up for it. Could do with a 4th person really though.

We just going to magic someone up out of thin air?



Next game after Germany is likely to be Spain away in February, then a home game in March which gives us plenty of time to build something solid up.

If we can get the cash through this method I will go to more away games. Could ask dave to do it and he might come to some of the games or just take his share when we need to use the pot?

Aye could ask Dave I suppose. Either way I don't mind, might just be easier keeping it to us three.

We can sort something out. Could just use it for away games?

Lets see how we go with winning first

Oh I know that, just mean that whatever we do make, keep it for away games instead of using it on home games.

Depends. If we get really lucky and have plenty of wins we might as well use it as we go? Pay for games etc as soon as we get enough cash?

Yeah that sounds good, we'll go for that.

I want to get March sorted ASAP. Get the hotel booked and get the train tickets as soon as they come out.

We can do it really cheap if we get in early. Think the cheap train tickets on Hull trains usually become available about 6-8 weeks before?
