Maybe I'm a bit precious but I thought the crotch grab was just as bad. It's one thing the Argie GK messing on with his golden glove trophy. He's a crazy footballer. But if you're a head official for a Country, in the VIP box, with all the cameras on you, wtf would you be grabbing your dick and balls and thrusting. Just odd and creepy.

I'm not technical Den, but I'm guessing they may ask what phone is it, and what Internet engine you on - I.e. Google chrome or explorer etc.

Yep, surprised VAR didn't order a retake.

Bronze having a bit of a mare.

That wasn't so much a hole more a giant crater left at RB. Take some coming back from this with their dominance on the ball.

Well, Rovers had a man sent off and got beaten. England Rugby had a man sent off and were absolutely pummelled. I'm pretty worried about a hattrick of misery here. Fingers crossed the women buck the trend.

Did it maybe take a slight nick off defender too? Keeper will be rightly disappointed either way.

Yep, had a quick read- 'Where's a striker?" Like groundhog day. Deja vu, whatever. I actually feel for him, always seems such an exasperated bloke. Must be exhausting. But how many times- Celtic, us, Coventry, now Sunderland. All the same patterns. Comes a time you have to own as the man at the wheel.

Two games in and rumblings. Is it me or does drama seem to follow Mowbray.

Yep. Tbf our pens were a bit divey. But regardless we battered them for 90 mins, and it felt an injustice to lose to such a dodgy decision. I'm still raging.

Yep, don't forget the scandalous penalty against Chris Samba in August 2011 for Everton to win 1-0. That was due to a directive that refs were going to be much stricter on defenders 'riding' backs on clearance headers. Samba deemed to have done that to Fellaini - he didn't! But I was fine with it because I thought we'd get loads of penalties when opposing teams did it to Samba on our corners. Did we get a single one all season while defenders literally piggy backed on him? - did we bollocks! These edicts are only fair if done consistently throughout the season. Not in a little spurt at the start.

Just need to address the pathetic 'shepherding' the ball out of play and I'll be happy. Don't get it. You block off someone in midfield when not in possession of the ball and it's obstruction. But do it in the defending 3rd and somehow it's a legitimate tactic. Winds me up no end.

It's back! Already been a few booked this 1st weekend. And tbh, one of them only tapped it about 5 yards. Looks like they're going to be really clamping down. Retro.

Here we go! 🤞🤞 England in a penalty shootout. What could possibly go wrong.

We get to penalties here and, in theory, our players should be more confident having played on the bigger stages more often (I.e.80k at Wembley and the Women's Premier League). We should have the cooler, calmer heads.....in theory. Would be a get out of jail card played mind.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek, but I do think we've been culprits in recent times (had to be, if you can't beat em, join em). There's been quite a few games we had at least 3 players hit the deck for treatment from 86 mins onwards. Didn't we also have a player or two booked in the first half for time-wasting? Takes some doing that. Would we have lost some more points if we hadn't employed those tactics? I'm on board with the changes. Needs done for the benefit of football as an entertainment spectator sport. Just not sure I agree with the theory it will work to our benefit and help us.

Petulant again on the biggest stage from England. Knew what she was doing. Stupid.

Well he mentions Phillips:

Dunno why everyone's so happy about this. Last season time wasting was one of our major strengths. On a top trump card we may have just lost our highest score. And doing pretty triangles at the back was second.

Was it good goal? Was watching penalty shootout.

Championship Hirst vs League 1 Hirst. Two totally different players it seems.

What a guy The Rock is. Big heart:

8 seconds later = review being dopiest you've seen. His whole body language, facial expression etc screamed "I've dropped that". What did he think a video replay was going to change.

Got to say Steve Smith has really grown on me this series. Liked the way he tried to retire Jimmy Anderson through that guard of honour. 😆😆 He's been the first up congratulating the England batsmen who scored big 100's. He put his body on the line yesterday crashing into the advertising hoardings, what a competitor. Phenomenal sportsman that I feel has matured and learnt humility with age and experience (sandpaper gate). Fair play to the guy.

Perfect,.I'd definitely take a couple of them logoed up. Although you've now made me sad about Dack again. 😪
