Good point as long as they overturn clear mistakes within a reasonable time period and the process is visible to all, players, officials and fans. I think I would be in favour of a challenge system like in tennis or cricket.

I don’t believe anything that FIFA reports. There was 9 minutes stoppage time in the USA game the other day (both halves I believe), so you could get to an hour per half with enough incidents, then let’s make half […]

Yes I know, but given the standard of refereeing exhibited on the pitch who knows whether these qualifications mean very much.

I think clearly the ref needs to be in charge and seen to make all decisions (while […]

Just have a linesman looking at the goalkeeper and warning her (or him) before it is taken, absolutely no need for video technology.

Games will last about 3 hours if they do all that stuff. Maybe that’s what they want, more time in the TV schedule and more stops to insert commercials and make more money.

I think you need to look at the background of the Cameroon players and the standard they normally play at. Have they ever been involved with games that have VAR before? Was it clearly explained to all players by […]

How buggered is football by the new idiotic Orwellian officialdom control? A Korea goal ruled 'offside' today in #WWC2019 because of this.

I disagree. It is being destroyed by VAR. Games being held up for 6 or 7 minutes to see if a goalkeeper has lifted her foot off the line, plus players being given offside when a millimetre in front. Totally […]

Well he got to 78, so he did pretty well all things considered.

Keith’s intro is pretty memorable on JJF as is Mick coming in, in fact the whole performance is pretty memorable, so doesn’t belong in this thread.

People don’t know who John Fogerty is? And he gets way more royalties from other songs I would imagine.

Ha ha. Yeah I have that problem too.

Ha ha. Brilliant!

3 threads on Boris Johnson!

Wow. Wrecking Ball ahead of Born to Run, Nebraska and others? Interesting.

26-3 (or 3-26) Oops …

Australia collapsing like England!

You mean John Fogerty’s “Rockin All Over the World”?

Problem with Magic is it his worst sounding album, not sure what they were trying for, but it is a crying shame that such brilliant songs are so poorly presented. I like listening to live versions, the Boston 2007 […]

Was enjoyable, hope it comes across quite well, I won’t listen myself naturally.

Hardly got into how magnificent Born to Run is, with 5 of his greatest songs all on one 8 track album.

I also meant to mention this:
