Larger footballs reduced to £0.25, smaller ones (Size 1) £0.15
Unsure if this is nationwide, but I think it is likely to be given the tournament is over.

that was a joke of course but I believe we made about a dozen footballs which at list 5-6 went to relatives and friends. one for us and with the rest we paid all the coke. Just a lot of wasted time on ebay but you know how it goes, it is all about excitement, lol

no, we sold 2 for each member of the family on different paypal accounts, that is allowed if you not doing it for business. Saying so, if we put all the rubbish that we purchased and never sold or sold at a loss, I believe that they would not like people to ask for integrational refunds for the losses, lol

So no one as got the football at any other store?
And yes toe-punt was said back in the 80s. As for a group of over paid clowns that was was wearing England tops a total joke..
The Welsh got one great player tbh and at least a team who worked their socks off but are followed by plastic fans,look back at the 1980s crowds at Wales games etc.

the cocacola Euro-footballs were selling well at around £20 on ebay 12 years ago. We found 1 on average on every case and on the top of that, Makro (only makro offer) was giving one free for each case of 24cans.Originally bought a case for normal comsumption, but once at home, my son was browsing on ebay and gave me the news. Back at the store the same day but with the van this time, lol

Criticising anything about that mob, note I'm not even allowed to use the fxxxx wxxxx sxxxx slang name, makes you anti semitic.

Blame Millwall instead as Kane was on loan at The Den for a while a couple of years ago, when in doubt blame Millwall :smirk:

Believe it or not people that don't follow either of the Mancs, the red Scousers, the goons or Chelsea actually are bothered. It's rather ironic how when I was young and followed England all over Chelsea and Leeds were the dominant posses that were there every single game.
As much as I hate them I hear Leeds do still go England in numbers but surprise surprise since Chelsea have been in that modern day abortion of the European Cup year after year they're nowhere to be seen any more.
I know I'm most likely in the minority but for me it was always country before club but nowadays when the players themselves seem to be totally club before country it's difficult to stick to that stance. Maybe big fat Sam will be able to kick some pride back in to them so they develop a bit of bottle once more but I'm not holding my breath.
The real irony I see is that bundles and bundles of these proud Welshman actually turn out to be 'supporters' of Liverpool rather than Swansea, Everton rather than Wrexham and so on :smirk:

Yawn - come back if you qualify for another major tournament - don't hold your breath though. :smirk:

Only the less skilful kids ever used a toe punt back in my day. Mind you, it was a sight to behold when a hi-tec slammer was used to toe punt a ball in from 30 yards out.
YourUserNameIsTaken
20 Jul 16#28
agreed. toe poke is an outstretched poke often over the line to score. toe punt is kicking it hard with your toes. my 5 year old hasn't learnt to use the instep properly and insists on toe punting it at the moment. he'll learn!
heat for price. will check next time I'm in Mr T's

Wales qualified for one major tournament in 50 years..............Big deal. Take Ramsey and Bale out and you have a pub team. If you qualify for the world cup (and I don't think you will) then come back and gloat - till then give it a rest.

'Punt it' is widely used at any game I attend.

You are possibly mis-remembering or heard incorrectly. It is "toe poke".
A commentator may say "... has a punt from there" meaning shot but this is not a usual football soccer reference and merely a commentator trying to use a word that the have just learnt!
