Soccer Aid 2012

[Nerf]

Whatever donations are made, the UK government will match! Because giving away lots of money is how to solve the recession apparently.

Anyone watching?

[Liam]

No.

[GoGo Yubari]

Actual match starts in an hour and a half, doesn't it? I'll probably watch some.

[Lineker]

If I'm home by then and have not a lot else on, I'll stick it on. Who is playing?

[Nerf]

It does GoGo! Pre-match shenanigans are on now, so I figured I'd start the thread in advance.

[Summers]

I love Soccer Aid.

[Adam]

Not a very diverse rest of the world team . Every one of the celebrities is from either Britain or North America.

I'm going out so unless it's on in the pub I won't be seeng this unfortunately. I did want to watch it originally as well.

[Summers]

Except Sergio.

[9 to 5]

Well that was cute.

[Lineker]

Good for Kenny, finding new work so quickly.

[Liam]

Fuck it, I might watch it. What time is kick off? Something to have on in the background whilst playing FM.

you trollop

[Nerf]

Jesus, £70,000 already. I feel bad for taxpayers.

[METALMAN]

Oh I know. That 0.2p that each taxpayer is shelling out will really hurt.

[EddieG]

From 70k to over half a million.

[Nerf]

Well, considering it's gone up to £500,000 in the last ten minutes, I would get back under your bridge troll!

[METALMAN]

£500,000 divided by 26,000,000 UK taxpayers = £0.019

nah. I think we can still bear the burden.
