Default Perth as a world cup venue.....what a joke

So Perth wants to be a world cup venue for 2012. What a joke when no pubs are even showing the games.

I got a list of pubs with 'late' licences and none of them are open for the 2am kick offs, so late means closed after 1am, like pubs normally do on a saturday.

To make things better my local, The Flying 'racist' Scotsman isn't showing any England games regardless of the time because they don't want any 'hooligans' in. These idiots have obviously been watching too many films like green street. These morons even applied for and were granted the 'late' licence.

THIS IS BULLSH*T!!!!! Nice way to shake off the dullsville tag you ass holes

This has cheered me up a bit:


Socceroos ... Do me a f---ing favour, you could come up with a better nickname than that

Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher has let rip at the Socceroos, saying Australians should stick to sports they're better at.

The keen soccer fan saw the Socceroos play at the World Cup in Germany this year and says he wasn't impressed.

Gallagher, renowned for his controversial outbursts, said he did not have a great deal of respect for Australians playing soccer.

"Stick to the Aussie Rules and the tennis and the cricket and the rugby, you are good at that," he told AAP from the United Kingdom.

"Football is the game of the intelligentsia and you are shit at it.

"You will never win anything so give it up."

The 39-year-old is a keen follower of his hometown club Manchester City and was the unofficial mascot of Italian World Cup striker Alessandro Del Piero.

It was the Italians that dumped the Socceroos out of the World Cup under controversial circumstances, thanks to a hotly disputed last-minute penalty.

"What do they call them, the Socceroos?"

"Do me a f---ing favour, you could come up with a better nickname than that."

Gallagher says he has a particular dislike for Socceroos midfielder Tim Cahill, who plays for Liverpool club Everton.

"I don't know, there is something about him. I would love to kick him right in the bollocks."

Cahill scored two goals for the Socceroos in the World Cup match against Japan and was widely considered one of the country's best players of the tournament.

"He has just got one of those faces," said Gallagher, whose brother Liam is also in Oasis.

"Don't you find his face really slapable? I can assure you, lots of people in England do."

Oasis toured Australia last December and next month release a "best of" album, titled Stop the Clocks.

The album features a selection of what Gallagher considers the band's best work, including tracks such as Wonderwall and Morning Glory.

Despite his outburst, Gallagher said he liked visiting Australia and that he was "gagging" to get over for the Ashes cricket series.

"The last time was just brilliant so the sooner the better for me," he said.

And this little rant by Mr intelligentsia himself, makes all of us Australians feel so inferior. Boo hoo, I'm so hurt and upset.

Comments like this made by well known fans of the game are probably half the reason the pubs are feeling there may be trouble if they open there doors in the middle of the night.

So, a guy who recites something from a *has been* in a band, thinks a pub not opening because of English hooligans, is worse than the idiot he's recited, saying the exact same thing

You just keep concentrating on a sport, that no ****er, outside of a couple of Australian cities, on the entire globe, gives the slightest shit about then. Parochial prick.
