    I watched the quarter final on my phone at Lansallos campsite miles from anywhere.  I'll probably watch the semi at home as the local pub is one of those that only open from Thurs to Sun damn them.

  • Will be watching in The Henty Arms, Ferring, West Sussex. Am considering tempting fate by booking a table for next Sunday evening.
  • I’ll be in my front room, wearing my England
    t-shirt. Drinking some kind of beer or wine. With snacks, crisps or twiglets probably. 
    It’s the high life I tell you.
    My wife will be telling me why the Danes deserve to win. (She’s Irish.)

  • Wednesday is my first of being free after 10 days of isolation, will probably just watch it at home with the family 🙄

    Actually you have a point. Going to the pub means not having to listen to Danny Murphy or Emma Hayes (the one who sounds like she has chain smoked 40 rothmans and downed 10 pints of diesel)
    Not forgetting the eloquent Ashley Cole.

    Not the Fred in Sundridge Park. Was in there last night and the back of the boozer was chock full of wankers. One in particular was an incredible string. Absolutely shit-faced and screaming his head off. I think he's a ne'er-do-well from the Downham Tavern.
    Watched the Czech game in there, round the corner from me. Wasn’t that busy so not too bad.

    Watched the Czech game in there, round the corner from me. Wasn’t that busy so not too bad. 
    What's the Oak like these days? Any football showing or nothing? I remember they have a bit of outside space and was always nice food and a pint but don't remember any screens.

    Cheers. I was asking about the Oak 😉 wasn't sure if they had football on.

    Watching it in the Danish House in south Auckland with approx 50 other Danes.
    Really not looking forward to this game.
  • This is one time I’ve really not enjoyed living so far from home, covid has greatly reduced the English population here which has meant watching the games with at most 5 other English people.

    Already told the mrs and work if we make the final I’ll be taking Sunday off work, flying to Shanghai and watching with a few 100 other English people, can’t wait!

    Welsh bird I know was at the George Inn last night. Table of six girls, zero interest in football (especially England), just out for the Instagram stories. Really winds me up. 
    Use to be my local with Bernard the barman (30 odd years ago)

    Are non football fans meant to not go out on match days to free up space in pubs ?

  • Sod going into a pub to watch it. Knee deep in wankers and can’t watch the game. My god I’m old.  Years ago I loved it in the pub , just can’t do it any more. Plus it’s now superstition that we watch it at mine with my brother and his daughters round for a take away.,

    And as for booking a fucking table at a pub, drop me out.
    100% this - got a nice big TV and plenty of space at home, few people round - beer/pizza and a great time. Don't have to listen to wallys who've a) no interest in football and b) been on it for 6 hours before the game.

    Plus no one in my house will lob a pint in the air when we score !!

    Yea have to agree. Watched it in the pub the weekend and although it was nice to have a few beers with mates and a bit of atmosphere, the nobhead count was through the roof compared to watching it with the family.

    Dont get the lobbing your beer thing. Weirdos.

    I'd say with it being so hard to book a table, it would be considerate to not book pubs showing the football when you have no interest in the match. 
  • Sunday is also my daughters 6th birthday, got a BBQ / bouncy castle hired and plenty of family round....no doubt most will hang about.

    Fingers crossed we are watching the right game ;)

    What really angers me is the bloke who is chatting pure 'waffle' the whole game. Think he no everything. Without fail they support United, with the most southern accent of all time.
  • In the The Great Exhibition (formerly Crystal Palace Tavern) in East Dulwich on Wednesday night. Too many hipsters pretending to like football for my liking, but will be with my pals so can celebrate/commiserate with them rather than with my wife whos only interested in Arsenal and would spend the night trying to wind me up about how good the Danes are/England are rubbish with no Arsenal players playing etc...

    Moved about between home/parties/pubs so far, first game at home with my brother (who could be that tw*t in the pub if I took him to one but is harmless enough), then Scotland game at Ben Teggs, watched the Czech game in a pub/bookshop/chapel place in Broadstairs, Germany in the River Ale House with @Tom_Hovi, QF at home with my son and Semi final sorted with @Davo55

    Nightmare scenario for me is watching with non match going football fans at a BBQ where they shout nonsense for 90 about how shit we are and, if we lose, switch the TV off, put YMCA on full blast and shrug 'its only a game' when I want to sulk for at least 48 hours.        
    The missus says 'Hi!'.

    Burnt the toast this morning.
  • Vinegar's Yard sold out in under 30 seconds.

    Wonder how many of the fully booked boozers will now have empty tables from people taking the better option.
  • Perhaps it's an age thing. Euro 96 was all about the pub but now I watch with a good mate indoors.
