Why do you feel the need for such childish language? I don’t use such against you. Can’t you see that if the onfield referee doesn’t give it and the VAR referees don’t give then there’s probably a good reason that they didn’t give it? This game needs half time. We’ve lost all rhythm and composure.

I’m not your pal.

So clear that a roomful of referees didn’t give it?

World class, my arse!

You don’t play football with your arms. Walker is a bully and made no allowance for the circumstances.

So true.

Yeah, how I see it too. Not temperamentally suited to the English game. I am happy to leave the decision to Hughes but if we can get him off the books and get a reasonable sum for him it would open up other options.

Yes, many times, and I'm right chum.

Ball before man is not a foul.

To get them ‘in the right mood’. It’s a bit like getting BBC radio newsreaders to wear evening dress. I think they should wear bikinis.

Yep, I can’t disagree.

Not my guidelines. He cheated and it cost his side a goal.

The penalty is seen as sufficient punishment. Had it been on the goal line and prevented a goal however...

Fecking disgrace. The referee has now evened things up. At least Umkiki has.

So you should have.

It has been said that my only purpose in life is to act as a warning to others.

So what?

I’m sure they were there earlier. I’ll have a look at it. Hmm. showing on my desktop PC using Chrome but not on my iPad using Safari... I shall keep on looking... Not quite right but if you click on them you'll get some idea. More research needed.

My heart has been doing fine, thanks. Nearly six years since the operation February in Rio is stinking hot. They fry eggs on the pavement just because they can. Except when we're there. Here is the top of the Corcovado: And this was our view from the top of the Sugar Loaf:

This Malcom here? I took this photo at breakfast on Sunday 4th February in our hotel on Copacaban Beach. The man on the left is presumably his agent as later two Italians turned up and joined them. I don't know which Italian club they were from but there was a couple of family groups of them and they were round the pool all day. I have other photos too

Seems genuine. The phone number for the Chinese is my local takeaway in Hursley Road. Or just a clever form of advertising?

Would that be 666 days if we play them on the Sunday? Scary.

Just for you I’ve recovered the recording and looked again. In the camera view across the pitch there is another Saudi player right behind Dyzuba who is almost totally hidden by him. I would describe it as ‘level’ even though there’s not really such a thing.

Too true. If Panama -Tunisia were being played as a knock-out before the final tournament who would bother to watch it? Maybe that's the point. Los Canaleros v. The Eagles of Carthage, not to be missed.

Many thanks.
