It was dog porn. Quite good standard as it goes

I haven't seen it so couldn't possibly comment...however I did see this from our very own Happy Face...

Yeah but at what cost to the actual game? The ref suddenly blowing up 15 seconds after an offence has been commited when the play has moved to a different area of the pitch fundamentally changes the game of football. Both codes of rugby, tennis and cricket all have far more organised set piece, time consuming stoppages than football ever has had. That's why it's successful in those sports and not in football where the ref can blow for a free kick and it can be taken within 5 seconds or some times even less. Football flows in a way other sports who have successfully incorporated video replays etc just don't. I accept there's no stopping it now but that changes nothing, it's still poorly thought out media driven fuckin nonsense.

Because those operating it are no better informed even with all the tech at their fingertips than the ref on the pitch?

only just noticed this Ahem..

Russia will get humped by the first half decent team they meet. Danny Murphy is the new Big Ron Atkinson

I think some are advocating an appeal system just to wimd me up

Neatly sums up why it's irrelevant nonsense to use it for matters of opinion.

@Andrew 1. Is this "two fouls" thing a new rule brought in specifically for VAR or is it in the FA's Rules of the Game? 2. Were there two fouls when Kane was blatantly halved in the second half?... This blatant fuckin media driven nonsense certainly shouldn't be getting trialled at the World Cup finals ffs when it's been withdrawn from trials in different leagues around the world. I've tried to see the positives but it's not doing what it was brought in to sort out consistently enough.

"teething problems"

Underrated

Bravo sir

Think this could be a watershed though. Scotland should do a Catalonia and have their own ballot. The thing that's kept me from going all in with the Nats is their belief that somehow Scotland has been treated worse than any other western post industrial area. I don't think that's the case but you could point to Wales, Boro & Scunny still having a (privitised) steel industry and Scotland having nothing, there again they still build ships on the Clyde & in Fife. I was an apprentice when the poll tax was introduced a year before England and i suddenly had to find 300 quid a year, so did my brother,sister (apprentice & trainee) and mother (home help) The thing about that blatant cunts trick was the reaction in England the following year was the thing that got rid of it in Scotland & the UK as a whole. Back then there we had a lot more in common than what divided us. Not sure that's the case now, last night being the most glaring example. There's the currency question to overcome but if they resolve that there could be a similar situation to what NI is going through now; England out of the EU with a land border hard against EU member Scotland. Thing is anyone who knows anything about history knows that imposed hard borders are big fuckin trouble for all concerned. The only difference between the UK 2018 and the former Yugoslavia 1991 is ease of access to arms. We should be grateful for that small mercy.

Last night was a fuckin piss take tbf. 19 mins of debate on the devolution amendment and not one Scottish MP allowed to speak. This could be it for the SNP.... If I was still living up the road I think they'd get my vote now....this week has shown how little democracy we actually have in this country. Am just about fuckin finished with the lot of them...

No 2 Fernando Hierro steps up. I always liked him, good player and Spain Captain before the current era of all time greats. Good leader, the circumstances of his appointment may galvanize the squad too...

Yeah alright Cameron Macintosh, fuckin calm down

Wednesday

If he gets asked I imagine he'd be tempted but am not sure what anyone could bring now. Iniesta, Ramos and other senior players will run the show now with the no 2/ coaches etc I reckon..

Playing their hardest group game first on Friday night v European Champions on Friday night

Apparently he's signed a new 2 year contract with Spain recently. Then Zidane jacks Real....Hes probably thought "aah they'll never get rid of me the day before kick off..."
