France on STRIKE!

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

The commentator on the Italy New Zealand game has just claimed that the French national team are refusing to train after a dispute on the training ground! Someone feom the management team has also resigned citing the behaviour of the team.

Quality!

"astonishing news from the french camp"

Numerous people we know in France refused to watch the world cup, saying before the tournament they predicted something like this and felt they were better off appointing a temporary manager for the world cup.
What a mess.

Joke for the oldies on here

We had a French Chef at our local a few years back he did a lovely English roast lamb.

Sometimes he never even took it out of the lorry

The French players have this to say:

"The French Football Federation did not at any time try to protect the group. They took a decision uniquely based on facts reported by the press. As a consequence and to show our opposition to the decision taken by officials of the federation, all the players decided not to take part in today's training session."

In fairness, Anelka's insult was an astonishingly rude way to address your coach. If someone did that to Gus I'd expect them to be out on their ear.

Will the French now escalate the strike by blockading other teams training grounds?

 

[Bean]

Their really in a mess! My mums french and she's refusing to even talk about it anymore around the house!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

They'll be dancing in the streets of Dublin tonight :dance:

 

[Gonzo]

I'm absolutely knackered from my french self-defence class last night.

I've never run so far in all my life!

 

[Billy the Fish]

It's a national passtime for the french, they bloody love it.
