George Best once had a bet with someone that he could go right through a game using only his left foot. He did, and he scored a goal with it.

I agree with you about FF. I am not a great believer in McCarthy and have often criticised him but having seen the replays of yesterday I find it hard to criticise him for their second. It was a dipping shot that went just inside the foot of the post. I would have liked to see a goalkeeper come and clear the cross for their first goal but such keepers are rare to find.

At that time I was working in TV research at the IBA. By 1982 I was self employed and had to fly to Canada to finalise a satellite TV broadcasting encryption unit that I had designed but it meant that I had to miss the World Cup that year so I splashed out on an Akai VHS home recorder. I think it cost around £400.

Correct. Are we sure this was a home recorder?

Perhaps he should stay around the dressing room.

I just saw it but my son in law was watching the screen and misses it.

He tried to hit it with his wrong foot. He tried to swipe across it with his right when all he had to do was let it hit his left.

They had a header hit the inside of the post and go into the goal. We had a shot that hit the inside of the post and didn’t. Fine margins.

70p each from the crowd tomorrow should fund it.

In theory, yes, but in this case the game should have been brought back to the point in time when the penalty foul occurred. Having said that, the half time whistle went straight after the new kick off. I can’t be arsed to go back and check but it seemed to me that there was a lot of time between the penalty foul and the point when VAR stuck their nose in.

Altogether now... "We hate you Burnley, we do. We hate you Burnley..."

OK then. They should be forced to mask up in order to protect the unvaccinated. From their own stupidity if nothing else.

Indeed. My sister had pericarditis over ten years ago and tht wasn't due to a Covid vaccine.

It's the other way round. We need to force the selfish arseholes to wear masks in order to protect the unselfish ones.

Maybe those people with a cervix are wearing them in a place where you can’t see them. Just a thought.

Even if it meant not qualifying for the next stages?

You wouldn’t be able to hear the band above my screaming. It’s supposed to be a football match, not a musical concert. Besides, we’re not Brazilians.

They do if those with infections wear them. Their main function is to protect others, but they do offer some protection to the uninfected. It’s a numbers game.

Why didn’t Fonte feature in any of the games?

Please. No band during the game. That is so naff.

Nice guy. perhaps too nice.

Nope. The sooner it rips through the population that are going t o get it the better. At the moment it seems to be all the youngsters near me.

It's violent conduct, pure and simple. It doesn't matter if the ball is in play or not.

You’ve spelt whiner wrong.

He’ll soon lick him into shape. What number does he wear, 99?
