Once again, not that I'm feeling paranoid 👀, but I'd like to refer last night's official and var to the Michael Keane sending off earlier this season. The difference? Last night was very deliberately a case of hair pulling and nothing happened 🤬🤬.
I've started a new series by Stuart McBride. Cold Granite, not surprisingly with that title, set in Aberdeen. 100 pages in and very solid so far.
There is quite a few in this series so I'm hoping it stays decent.
As @Beedee said , the rule makers brought it in as an option but the handicap authorities instantly said it would not be acceptable. Fine for social play, not fine for official stuff.
Brazil came 5th in their World Cup qualifying. So much awe of Brazil is historical. There is no reason to fear them, or Argentina. They wont fear us either to be fair but we shouldn't build them up based on past history
I gave blood last night. This morning I started the process of removing the military grade plasters that they use. It normally takes a few days, bit by bit, each step being suitably painful. This one came off in one smooth go, no pain involved 😊
It's a pretty standard crisis management response, no doubt written and put out by his management company. I hope he gets help. More than that, I hope he gets someone else to drive him around. Whatever he does to himself is his own business. Putting others at risk, that is a whole different...
In fairness, England have performed well at recent tournaments. QF, SF, Finals even. No wins but they have been there or there abouts.
I think these things tend to go in cycles, Italy are going through a bad spell. I don't know what their youth set up is like, are the foundations in place...
No matter how fed up England fans might feel right now, imagine if you were Italian 😳. Amazing decline. 3 world cups in succession missed now, at a time when it's never been easier to qualify.
