ParisInAKilt Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Neymar will likely always remain a very unlikable player with his play acting, even with VAR and all the camera he can’t help but exaggerate tackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivalry is big in football There is nothing wrong with Scotland fans wanting England to fail, even ignoring the UK/English media forcing English success down the throats of Scots, Welsh & Northern Irish for decades Similarly there is nothing wrong with England fans celebrating Scotland being pish - Cheer up Gordon Strachan.

As you have rightly said, that cow Jackie Bird would have never appeared gloating like that. Well, probably because She’d do the gloating if Scotland lost. 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Global Position System' and there's no such thing as the 'globe' (or satellites for that matter!) 'Federal Reserve'... Neither 'Federal' or a 'Reserve'. There's loads of examples. Anyway, with VAR, the ref can 'miss' a call and just have the VAR pick up the slack, or they could both miss it. The VAR just adds an unnecessary complication. Too many cooks. If human error is going to be a part of the game then let that rest on the ref alone (without Big Brother). The only way to improve that IMHO would be as I have already stated and that is to give the people with the most skin in the game (the managers) the right to challenge. Once you are out of your 2 challenges... then tough. Example... Harry Kane gets rugby tackled in the box. Did the ref call it? No Did the VAR call it? No Would the England manager have 'challenged'? Too right. End this terrible VAR experiment forever and give the managers 2 'challenges' each. Edited June 28, 2018 by Scotty CTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Skybet have doubled a commentator bet to 10/1, to mention the names of the 7 'British' teams represented in the Belgium squad. Quite a bit of squad rotation likely for Belgium but Boyata could still start, and Chadli likely to get a game. Mignolet not looking like a starter is the one that might worry me, but can see them having a good old chat about the EPL at some point.

Personally, with friends and colleagues regularly telling me how pish we are, I feel no embarrassment whatsoever sniggering loudly when they inevitably crash out of another tournament . Germany do not hold the monoploy on arrogance. We then have a laugh about rhe whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
