East Kent Saint

Abraham on for final 15 mins , unfortunately France snatch late equaliser, boo ! Henderson makes another brilliant save before the goal from the same frenchie

Solanke subbed for being rubbish ! Henderson meanwhile has saved a penalty plus France hit the post with their second pen !

Yes VAR could help get decisions right but it doesn't seem to at the moment . I still think the offside rule needs adjusting to take account of VAR , that way having a part of your body a few millimetres in front of the defender would not be offside . There have been some VAR offsides where a part of a players foot is the the reason given for offside . I want goals to be scored in open play not because of a VAR penalty decision that is debatable !!

The problem is going to be attackers chipping the ball up , not to make a good cross , but to try and make contact with the defenders arm . Liverpool in the european final for example . Much work to be done to make VAR a success IMO

Watching some of the World cup (for ladies) the VAR system seems to be just as bad as the ref on the day . Contentious results from VAR plus lots of no VAR action when it is needed . Leave technology to goal line action and leave ref to decide IMO.

I think you are giving Fonte too much credit , Saints made him a good player and he let himself go . Good that he has seen the light at the end of his career tunnel and now putting a shift in so good luck to him . I wonder if he ever mentions his Saints career unlike other Dykes ??????

Sign Pickford , we could always use another keeper

John Mcgrath v George Best , Best , after the series of "tackles" , picked the ball up and offered it to John . If you want it that much here it is !!! Also MotD showing the rugby tackle by er O'Neil (as mentioned below !)

Well if it wasn't for yet another bad VAR call England might have won !! Offside by millimetres ??? should that be given really ? what happened to benefit of doubt to attacking side to encourage goals ?

I remember a few poor performances from him in the final season but his career has not gone well since . The thing is we don't know these players personally and quite a few seem to have some sort of problem that we are unaware of. I thought at the time Poch left he might have said that if you want to get on get out but .................

Mane , Clyne and Scheiderlin all threw wobblies but generally made an effort before they went . Mane turned up late until he was dropped , Scheiderlin had a strop at preseason and didn't play until his head was right etc . Mane the only one with Van D who have really proved their worth at their new clubs. I think I would take a job where I would be set for life even if I didn't have to do much !!

Liverpool set out to defend and let Spurs have the ball , this worked very well. Kopp was determined not to lose yet another final ! Could Poch have done better ? perhaps not start Kane , put LLorente on earlier when they were reduced to hoof ball due to pools defence and better mid field display in the second half. Some of pools best players were the youngsters I thought. Taters kept saying how hot and humid it was then moaned about the players ! Saw someone this morning that was there , he said it was like today here only twice as hot/humid . Thanks BT but disappointing final for the neutral , oh for the days of free to air semi finals etc ......

BT app it's free tonight!

I always liked Shilton , he wasn't perfect but he knew how to command the area ! (don't mention the Jag incident )

What's the actual story here ? has Watson left the club ???

I think you have missed the point entirely

Long article in today's Guardian with Van **** , apparently he went from Celtic and their passionate support to Liverpool because of their passionate support no mention of his career break then.................

Ziyech already linked to "bigger" prem team.

That was another of Cameron's mistakes , when the vote to join took place a 2/3majority was required as it was such a major change . At the very least it should have been a minimum of 50% of the electorate required , that way there would not be any complaint about the validity of the decision. Also look at the people who are hell bent on getting us out , what do think their motivation is ? Would you like to live in a country run by these people ?

His first start in two months and only because Vest failed late fitness test , hardly being picked as Ralph’s first choice!

Ings was lauded on MOTD when I imagined he was just jogging around in their half v Wolves so wait and see !

Looking at the table only the top 6 have a decent positive goal difference in at least double figures. 2 others have a 1 and 2 positive GD I think this shows what an unequal league this is and for most teams avoiding relegation is the only realistic goal.

Thanks for updating me about Ings involvement , I'll study it now on MotD recording . It may be I didn't spot who was who from row JJ !!!!!!

Did Ings do anything before being subbed , I saw him pass once to Sims but other than that he seemed to just jog around in their half . At the start of the season he was running around and scoring , was his injury that bad ????

er didn't we just buy tickets in the old days ? where you stood was "sorted" by the fans themselves , Ha Ha
