WORLD CUP 2018

Schnozz · June 2018

VAR is a great addition and I don't get why people object to it - It takes nothing away

And you can see that defender trying to get his arm free, as there's space between it and Kane's body while they're both standing

"Rugby tackle" be damned, fools!

CHRISB50 · June 2018

The best thing I noticed about the England game was that the fucking brass band aren't there.

Having to listen to them play the Great Escape / Rule Britannia continuously over the years has been far more upsetting than the football played on the pitch.

it was the lack of creativity that was most grinding.

they should have played the jaws themesong every time england had control, the steptoe themesong everytime the other side got the ball & the death march whenever england got knocked out of the first round on penalties.

I've never understood why they play the Great Escape theme.

Fifty escapees were murdered and a load more recaptured and sent back to the camp.

I like this. Football set to incidental music. It could replace commentary.

Me neither really. I always presumed it was the only tune they all knew how to play, other than Rule Britannia.

So who the hell was playing September by Earth, Wind and Fire incessantly for the entire second half?

They were there....

I have no idea! Seriously are they there?! I didn't hear them.

Must have filtered them out after all this time. Win for me!

Wis awarded.

I wonder who intervenes / intervened on their behalf? They should be sent to a gulag.

why I watch on a non "British" channel.

"I endured the BBC1 commentary right up until Martin Keown said this shouldn't be given offside because it was "close".

"Martin Keown “It’s marginally offside there so surely it shouldn’t be offside then” - U what ???

In his defence, they said before the tournament that lino's would be ignoring close calls (or words to that effect), so I assume that's what he was talking about.

the comments are good

Legionreturns · June 2018

I am automatically suspicious of anyone posting an Express or Mail link, especially when they advise you to read the comments.

Are you freelancing for my shrink @AliGorie ? I know he's short of work but that's a dirty tactic!

With every sentence he speaks, Martin Keown acts to destroy the English language.

Has anyone noticed how many times he says 'Isn't it'. I'm finding his commentary insufferable.

Apparently the England team have visited a local russian orphanage today as part of their community programme

"It was so sad to see their little faces with no hope." said Vladimir aged 6.

He's still better than listening to Hoddle's twaddle on the other side.

Might have to turn the sound down when England are on ITV.

It's his frequent use of the sentences using the phrase '...has beaten off...' that concerns me.

Was listening to Terry Butcher on the radio yesterday evening, he was giving the Sengalese players 'funny' nicknames based on their african names. Might not hear much from him!

Howdy, Stranger!
