Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[ROBBO]

I would like in independent opinion on the penalty awarded to the Italians. Was it or should the player have been booked for acting?

[Merv]

Penalty in my view - Grosso didn't need much encouragement to go down but having got into the box and beaten one player, he was waiting for a silly sliding challenge and Neill dived in.

[Bad English]

I reckon the ref didn't fancy running up and down the pitch for another 30 minutes and he wanted to be in his hotel in time for the evening game.

[Legion]

Never a penalty!

[Dave Cooper please]

Definite penalty, the Aussie player went to ground, missed the ball and the Italian tripped over him, stonewall.

[JD]

I don't think it was a penalty, but who cares, it's only Australia. 8-[  

I'm worried that there aren't enough worried people around here.  [-(

I'm worried that anyone cares that the Aussies are out. Let's revel in a sport where we are better than they are.

[Chris Smith]

Debateable penalty as he chose to trip over a player who was already on the ground but I'm glad it was given.

[ROBBO]

Why the antipathy by some toward your Australian brothers are we not the fledgling football nation, the proverbial underdog or is it you were a little nervous at the prospect of meeting the Aussies along the way. J.D just because the Kiwis play football as they do cricket its no reason to hold a grievance against your near neighbours. We had enough with a couple of thousand so called Italian - Australians in Lygon street cheering the penalty. Strange that most Australians will now support England.

It's beacuse you were getting ideas above your station.

I'm extremely worried that I may have to leave the country today should you know what happen.

[JD]

Robbo, that's why I had the  8-[  next to my post. Over here in NZ everyone I knew was behind Australia (not often a Kiwi would admit to that). My post was tongue in cheek Robbo, I also wanted the Aussies to beat Italy.  
Even this morning the NZ 'experts' in the studio were saying it's a shame Australia got knocked out as they could have beaten Ukraine.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm also worried that nobody can answer my pub quiz question in Time Wasters and as I'm off tomorrow for two weeks, I have have just killed the thread.

[From the Doug Out]

The players return for pre season training in 9 days time so I thought it would be worthwhile to get prepared for this by easing my worries, setting out what I feel to have been the positives from the summer so far:

Shit, that many? I have under estimated the Villa's summer. Again. can I take this opportunity to say fuck shit piss arsehole wankers. And be happy that Eriksson's gone. But then remember whose coming next.
