Oh! Joy of joys. Inguurland 1966.

[JohnMcM]

Looks like the telly, or at least most BBC stations and some BBC radio stations will be helping us re-live the 1966 World Cup Final.

How pleasant eh?

[MWHIBBIES]

You can borrow my netflix for the night if you'd like?

[Finn2015]

Think there are better options like painting the garage door and watching it dry

Thank you. Will it let me watch the Wizard of Oz?

[JohnMcM]

Done that. But like the stupid a@@e I am I used quick-drying paint. Which is more daft than it sounds because I've spent the last 27 minutes trying to get my paint brush off the garage door:greengrin

Hope they mention the fact the ball never crossed the line ;-)

Did it?

Must have been a very deflated ball.

[Bishop Hibee]

Have the people on the pitch had their letter yet?

They were fans of those England wannabes the now defunct Glasgow rangers, so with the second world war being still relatively recent in many minds they perhaps understandably just rushed on to protect their team?

Huns protecting their team from huns?

[Hibrandenburg]

It's about time this incredible sporting achievement got a mention. It's been ignored for too long.

They think it's all over

Stokes leaves tavernier standing

It is now.

The huns lose

I think that's how it went.

BBC tried to sell the stuff to our German stations, but we'll just be getting a re-run of the 1966 favourite "the piss-poor refs of switzerland" instead.

It used to rile me everytime I heard the media down south mention it. The older I got I realised every country is exactly the same. Can't remember a season in the champions league when the "Lisbon Lions" aren't mentioned.

As it goes.... I couldn't care less and I'll tell you for why.... Hibernian FC are Scottish Cup CHAMPIONS and believe me, that will be rammed down everyone's throat as much as "since 1902" "England 66" and "Lisbon Lions 67"

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Who gives a donald duck! I'm still enjoying the event that occured nearly 50 years later. At least West Ham won the WC tho. :-) I'm getting impatient waiting on Whitney Houston adding Sir David's goal on to the end of her One Moment In Time video though.

[Northernhibee]

If you don't like it don't watch it. I'm going to be talking about 21st of May if I'm still alive in fifty years time for sure.

Geoff Hurst made history by scoring the only two goal hat trick in a world cup final.

[KSA Hibee]

What .. Seriously !! Are you telling me Engerland actually won the World Cup in 1966?

I have been watching sport on the BBC for nearly 40 years and have never heard it being mentioned at any opportunity 🙄

Well if they did really win it perhaps after celebrating its anniversary they might perhaps never ever ever ever mention it again ... 🙏🙏🙏

When is it, so I know to avoid

[Broken Gnome]

In honour of Denis Law, we all go for a round of golf.

[Eyrie]

Look on the bright side - they'll still only have 1966 to talk about when it's 2080.

[CockneyRebel]

And Scotland supporters will have ............... to talk about. Fill in the blanks.

Take away the disputed goal and they still won.

[Hibbyradge]

Take away the disputed goal and they still won.

There were people on the park when they scored the fourth goal. The referee should have stopped play. :wink:

Also seen the Archie Gemmill goal more than once (good goal though) - we all do it to some extent.

[Hibbyradge]

Exactly.

Who mentioned 7-0?

Does this still keep you awake at night?

I gave up on our national football team many years ago. Got fed up watching bang average players from the Ugly Sisters get picked time after time ahead of in form players from other teams, particularly us.

I'll check the score out of habit, but honestly can't remember the last time I watched a Scotland football international.

[Scouse Hibee]

The only joy I take from 66 is the seethe it creates on here :greengrin

[Barman Stanton]

Ach imagine what we would be like if Scotland won the WC. Let them celebrate it. It's not like it's the Scottish Cup!

[NAE NOOKIE]

50 year anniversary is an appropriate time to celebrate, so I don't really have a problem with it to be honest .... didn't quite get the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 ,21,22,23,24 ( ) 26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42 ,43,44,45,46,47,48,49 anniversary celebrations though :greengrin

When you claim to have 'given the world the game' and claim to have the best league in the world ..... but have failed to even make the final of 19 out of 20 world cups and never made the final in 15 attempts at the Euros I suppose you have to make the most of things don't you :greengrin

[Hibbyradge]

Does this still keep you awake at night?

No. I was just joining in the fun.

England won the world cup, and they're understandably proud of it.

Whether the ball was over the line or not, and the fact that there were folk on the park at the fourth, are irrelevant issues. The referee's decision is final. End of.

But, it doesn't half seem to hit a nerve with some folk when you have a bit of fun with it. :wink:
