If we had a ref who had been less lenient he would have booked Lovren and Resic earlier. They then would have been on a tightrope. Overall Croatia deserved to win, but they got into that position due to our shortfalls.

that is horrific, at first I thought it was a still from Silence of the Lambs. I see they are saying this attack is now being put down as a robbery, but the level of violence strikes me as an attack of blind hatred. No doubt the powers that be want it to be seen as random

its always down to the Tories. Please tell what percentage of the Police actually walk the streets now or ever?? IMO it is that as we get a larger mix of people throughout the world coming into our country who do not respect the Police, or our law we will only get more violent crime. Police on the streets will not get a drop in violence, it just makes us feel safer. A Bobby walking on the beat is unlikely to be in the right place at the right time.

Knowing he was on the winning side made last night even worse. Apparently he waited at the tunnel to hug every England player as they went down the tunnel. Smug git

good one

probably as its about a dead club

A bit harsh. IMO we should have kept Sterling on and taken Dele and Jesse off and put midfielders on to flood the midfield. Delph would have as much creativity as either of those two.Dier (who is not my favourite player) could have helped add some physical play to stem their midfield. The ref only booked players for throwing the ball away etc,he didn't for some poor challenges by Redic(?) and Lovren. We were leading and creating very little except for Sterlings pace. Pickford's distribution was awry and so the ball kept coming back at us. I was very calm in the lead up to the game and expected us to win, and very surprised that we didn't have the victory I expected. There is a very hollow feeling today and hopefully we get over this quickly. I doubt we will ever get to see England in a final as this was probably the best chance any of those young players will ever get of getting there. A second goal would have finished Croatia off, but it was not to be. I assume Kane was carrying an injury? Young should also have been taken off earlier as he was off the pace from the start.

Id get rid of CA. He is so slow now, it seems to me he is worried that his hamstring is likely to go everytime he goes on a sprint/jog

I don't think he would fit in our dressing room, what with him flashing all the medals he won leaving us....... Funnily enough I think we had more Wembley club appearances while he was at scouseland than he did

Boris gone as he can see his chance for being leader. Gove come out in support of May to cosy up to the Remainers in the party. God what with Salisbury things are pretty depressing at the moment. Thank heavens for the football

David Davies left as he knows whoever signs off Brexit will go down in history as a terrible politician. He can go back to the back benches and snipe. We have no hope while the politicians are not united. The Eu have not broken ranks and so they have kept a strong bargaining position Our MP's are just interested in their own power rather than what is best for the country

Well I wouldn't celebrate as Jeremy will love to take all you have once he comes to power. All those Tory voters who bragged that they joined the Labour party to vote for Corbyn is really backfiring. The whole Brexit deal should have been done under a coalition as in wartime, because as far as I'm concerned this is the biggest decision our nation has faced since the start of WWII. The Brexiteers should be confident enough for us to have a second vote, but this time there should be a 10% margin if not the last result would stand. They could then have the moral high ground and the remainers would have to accept the result.

OK, thanks I hadn't seen that

ho ho ho, yeah very funny. A duck was found dead early on after the first attack. Perhaps as a precaution they were taken and destroyed. As I have a business close to Salisbury it is a serious event, and with the Wiltshire Chief Inspector now warning that they could not rule out more people getting infected. Salisbury is/was a beautiful City and to see a park where Constable painted his famous view of the Cathedral shut down for a long period, is pretty sad. Another nonsense in this saga is that 4 buses that these last 2 victims MAY have travelled on were impounded. They used bus drivers to go and collect them to bring them back, without any protection or special clothing.

You need to chill out a bit. There are 2 ways at looking at things. I am a remainer but accept that it is not all going to be bad. As for you comment f### business just shows you need to wise up. No business no jobs, no exports, no NHS no future. The nation makes its income from business not just the government borrowing money.

The word in Salisbury that I have heard in the last few hours is that she used to go around collecting fag butts and may have just lit up one of those. Also the police are dredging the river by the bench. I assume just in case there is anything lurking in the undergrowth. It was strange that all the ducks and swans disappeared, there are not as many there now

Is it just me who feels royalties are a bit wrong. These people are getting paid time and again for the same days work, a lot of people get one hit record and can live off that for ever. The same goes for artists and then their descendants who can get paid 4% of the resale of any picture that is sold in the future. Its like a plumber getting paid each time you flush the toilet

did you read the article in the Telegraph the other day where it showed whether we stay in the EU or not, the car industry is going to shed half the workforce and its supply chain due to electric cars? A lot less parts and far less to people needed to manufacture. We are going through the 2nd major industrial revolution and it isn't pretty. Roll on 10 years and the high street will be like the ice makinh companies of the 30's before the fridge became a household appliance. Unless we get a major change in consumer buying it is finished (High St) Take heed all you internet shoppers who are trying to save tenners here and there, once the High Street is gone the prices on the internet will soar and you will be worse off. Yes if you spend real time searching you would still get a better price but in the main after the first 3 pages, most will give up and buy from there.

you are the former Stu Romsey Saint I assume??

i thought not as he was quite a unassuming nice bloke

Do you see who voted and for who? No, great, I voted for you btw Good luck and hopefully it goes well. You will of course forget your people now you have power

Were you the Bournemouth Saint who played in the Forum match at St.Marys????

that's fine,but talk about it behind closed doors,or in cabinet, not go out to the media outlets spreading his mantra to gain exposure to try and gain support if there is a vote for leadership.

The politicians do not realise or care what they are doing to business confidence. I predict we will see a swathe more retail shops go in the next 2-3 months . Small as well as large. The general public just don't know whether to spend or not, and are sitting on their hands not making spending decisions. I was out browsing the shops yesterday and whilst there were lots of people looking around, the tills were not ringing. While I was in a small quality shoe shop I heard the salesman tell his friend that they had only taken £100 and that without notice a couple of their other shops had closed without warning this week gone. Rees Mogg etc and their own political ambition and agenda see no boundaries to get what they want. We the tax payers and voters are anxious waiting for the UK to show a United front. While we have all these splinter groups who are pecking away we will see no progress. I am a democrat and have to adhere to the vote but it was a nonsense that 2% or whatever it was as a margin was enough to win such a crucial decision. I believe that there should be another vote and that to remain there would need to be a 10-20% margin for the result to be reversed. Without a doubt the nation was in the main oblivious to the implications of voting out. I know there are quite a few who still believe 100% that we will be ok, but I cant see how that can happen. We will never get fair trade deals with countries after we leave as they will see our weakness, eg India who say they will do a deal but we have to look at loosening our rules for their people to come to live in the UK.

I assume in the end there will be no countries left to get cheap labour from. The way it is going we might have English going to Europe in the droves doing fruit picking
