If you score a goal in the last minute, celebrate by taking your shirt off, get booked but then have the goal disallowed,  shouldn’t the booking be rescinded?

No idea why I am asking that question in this forum.

Shooting craps with OB in the Lurkers Lounge. There’s a big screen in there now. What are things coming to?

That was a cast-iron penalty that England should have conceded against Ghana. And a red card. If only there was some kind of back-up system that could check these kind of things.

I hate Ronaldo with a vengeance. But as he is dragging Portugal down with his selfishness (way way past his sell by date and they are scared to drop him) I hope he continues playing.

There is a universal playbook for simulation. Open mouth, shocked look and arms flung crazily forward. Then obligatory writhing. Often followed by a miraculous recovery. Real injuries NEVER look like that.

OK “Sling God” @briann. Your sneaky progress up Jurassic Pork has been noted by more than one player.

Nothing personal @jrsquonk. You just happened to be at the top of the list. You may have lost BI but I think you can sleep easy over Jurassic Pork. That is an incredible record.

Dispatched Squonk now. BI is mine all mine (cackles despotically while stroking Twiggy). Need to have a look at Flock Favourites next. Anything to take my mind of losing all those Classics trophies.

Hello @ixan57. Woken up in time for your Bank Holiday I see. It is indeed a funny old game but there are some folk who sure know how to suck all the fun out of it. Strap yourself in.

Infantino has asked me to not worry about stuff and chill out. In the same way that Brian Moore’s head resembled the London Planetarium (Dickie Davies Eyes, Half Man Half Biscuit), his head satisfyingly resembles the top of the World Cup trophy. Maybe they will parade his head triumphantly around the stadium after the final. I for one, would feel…[Read more]

Maybe all the other referees should go on strike in support of their Somalian colleague.

This is disgusting beyond measure. Many should be hanging their head in shame. FIFA have been trumpeting about how they have been so involved and invested in Africa. Well the US authorities have truly told them where to stick it. Simple FIFA, revoke that…[Read more]
