VAR nailed it again just now

I thought the obvious difference was that touch totally took the ball away from the attacker whereas the French one if (and it’s a big if) the defender touched the ball it didn’t change the course of it and the attacker still could have got it when he was then brought down Not sure there’s been a big decision wrong yet for me although I accept Arbito knows the rules far better than I

We were first linked a week or so ago then Nixon picked it up, always a little more likely when Nixon isn’t the one to come up with it. He’ll still arrogantly claim it as his own though. Dont know much about him myself.

£3m from season tickets still sounds like a lot when you consider that there’s probably a few hundred free under 8s in the family stand and then a lot more concessions including loads of under 21s which are half the price and then a lot of senior tickets at around £200 I think £2m is more likely which is whittled down by matchday costs as well

Certainly true although I think we showed little respect to the checkatrade last time we were in it in the championship. Would have been nice for the youngsters to be involved though

Rovers flop Niko Kalinic sent home for refusing to come off the bench for Croatia after sulking about not starting. May he rot on the bench for the rest of his career, tosser.

Really interested to see what the new, statistical approach means, wonder if there will be less focus on trials and such and more players targeted based on set metrics. The first solid links will be interesting.

With all due respect Chris it’s not down to you to decide what should and shouldn’t be decided factors for other people.

I have to admit the price increase took it from a no brainer to something to consider, as above not the price alone making it unaffordable just the feeling of it not being such a good deal. The shine of last season is naturally starting to fade a little so let’s hope we soon have some excitement building with some signings that show ambition. Not sure so many would renew in a years time if it’s a drab relegation battle along with another increase, now is the time to try and keep ‘moving forward’ at least in relative terms.

Didn’t see it but no sympathy for Sam, he would have been in the dugout in Russia tomorrow if not for his own greed and ego

Could be like the season Leicester won the league, the big boys not quite at their best meaning, hard work and organisation could see you through! A good start for us will see the expectation rise though so just a win will do!

Unreal finish from Coutinho 1-0

Great game this Mexico look good. Oh and Messi and Ronaldo are both phenomenal players, the player of a generation, we just got two at once.

VAR is brilliant today He was always missing with that run up

Penalty Messi misses!

Iceland! 1-1

I don’t think the ref initially gave the handball either. The way it’s been handled for all 3 goals varies from perfect to debatable but for me all 3 goals were the right outcome which may not have happened a year or two back.

Yes more drama I love it hook it into my veins Technology is flawless there

A slight nick but not enough to win the ball, The forward had it again before being brought down. Penalty in real time but maybe the wrong use of VAR to overturn the original decision

I thought it was a clear penalty and the ball wasn’t touched I am watching sans glasses mind

The best tournament in any sport and we have to listen to Lawro and Murphy sound bored to be there non stop moaning

He wants a 30 year old, Chaddy wouldn’t sign anyone over 29 so that will be an interesting reaction when it happens. Big week ahead, Mowbray said he wanted the majority in before the pre season trip so it will be a sign things aren’t working as planned if we don’t sign 3-4 this week.

For me Zidane will always be the greatest, he had a mesmeric way with the ball it was all so relaxed and natural

Absolute football heaven this Doesnt get better

Spain dominant then De Gea drops a Karius and Portugal lead again Some game
