On that note Ronaldo winking as he got Wayne Rooney sent off in a WC game(I think at that time they were club team mates at Man Utd)will stay long in the memory.But we all know he’s a bit of a winker.

You missed out the sly look at the ref to see if he’s getting his/her card out.

Back to FIFA and fair play to them for trying to stop time wasting(one of the two big blights on the game along with simulation/mincing around exaggerating any contact(see above comments about Brazil))Although to be fair I saw Columbian Luis Diaz get tackled on the touchline then do five roly polies(?)(fact)and end up outside the…[Read more]

I think FIFA must have spent some of their billions on a teleport machine.The big baby seems to be at every game.Sure I saw him at the G7 bash as well.

Currently watching Brazil v Morocco and the histrionics of the Brazilian players when they’re being tackled is shameful to watch.Some of my earliest football memories were of that gorgeous Brazil team of 1970:Pele,Jairzinho,Tostao,Rivelino,Gerson ,Carlos Alberto etc they would be ashamed.Wankers.

Well played @desperate-dan,you finally found your Classic mojo.

Are you staying up for the game of the century @ixan57 ?Wait he’s already gone to bed.Lightweight…er…no I’m not.

Happy wife happy life @jrsquonk.And yes Classic certainly stirred a hornets nest.

Rumours of Scots selling one of their kidneys to finance trips to the WC are totally erroneous.How much would you get for a Scotsman’s kidney?Even less for his liver.

BTW @jrsquonk your strategy on JP 36-14 is classic:”Just luck out on your first try!”

Wish I could’ve mastered that strategy on 35-15.

Sling God ,I ‘ve been called worse.Hello @jrsquonk it’s nice to hear from you after such a while hope all is well with you.And yes I am trawling through JP atm but agree with @desperate-dan your record there is safe.That said @vuelva‘s scores although unposted are even more impressive.I think we’re both in his wake.

I saw a cartoon at the weekend depicting Big Baby’s head atop of the WC trophy as you mention.You couldn’t see the join.

Sounds like you’re having the same trouble at BI as I had at JP 35-15.Still can’t get within20k of jrsquonk.It’s a funny old game.

Think I’ve mentioned before the incredibly biased commentary of one Stephen Craigan when working on N.Ireland games.Classic Craigo tonight on the France v N.I. game.

“Why is it when an Irish player goes to ground the ref waves play on but if it’s a French player he automatically stops the game.That’s not a head injury he’s holding his leg!All…[Read more]
