Was that comrade Jeremy??

Missed that. Was comrade Diane with him?

Erm, not likely with the current political climate is it!!

Catalan nationalist managing the Castillan imperialist national team? Don't think either side want that.

It would be like James McLean managing England.

Would they after he wore that ribbon?

Will they put aside their politics over national pride ?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Russia have defended and battled magnificently. I really hope they can get through this as the Russians really looked after us while we were out there and the place is absolutely buzzing right now. Excellent hosts.

Kinell mate, your cards marked, you can't go round telling truths in this country !!!!

Now you're being subjective, the ball was headed against his arm at speed from 2 yards away, he had his back to play, he couldn't move it in time.

Yes he could, his other arm had come down naturally, he left that one up hoping it would block the ball and look accidental - his bluff got called.,

Will they put aside their politics over national pride ?

In a word, no.

Missed that. Was comrade Diane with him?

She was off getting the beers in.

He didn't need to. It would have moved itself if he hadn't deliberately left it there in an 'unnatural' position. It would have been coming downat the side, like that poor sod who conceded a pen for fuck all.

Your arms start coming down once you have jumped.

Tbf, if he was playing for Barca, it wouldnn't be a pen so you can see his point.

How can a country so stacked with midfield talent be so dry on forwards? They're like the reverse Argentina.

 

[asahartford1]

It was a clear penalty.ref has been very good.


But why are there 3 armed guards behind the var refs.?

 

[Crouchinho]

I get more enjoyment watching Songs Of Praise

She was off getting the beers in.

Hope she didn't have to count how many beers were needed.
