Automatic offsides are a must. From what I understand teams voted against this due to the costs of installing it at every ground?

I actually like how it’s implemented in Europe (most of the time), usually over the past two years, in Europe there has been a far higher bar for fouls (which I prefer).

I don’t have any issue with it in theory, I would rather the correct decision (even if it goes against my team) than making a quick decision, but the quality of the refs are so poor.

I actually hate all the “fuck var” or people blaming var, when it’s all human errors.

Keep var, get better humans to work it

Flekkin doesn’t inspire me very much. He does a lot of strange things under no pressure that don’t get punished

When I was a child and the world cup 2002 came and went for Ireland, I just assumed that we’d always be good. Ever since Denmark hammered us in Dublin, it’s been pretty bleak.

There was a real bad ACL curse over the first few weeks of the season. What are the chances mings does his ACL three days after Buendia did his, in a game where the players wore shirts before the game wishing emi a speedy recovery.

I remember after the third week of the season a number of players whose team pre seasoned in the states on those pitches seemed to do their ACLs.

It’s really sad for me that if you put ireland in place of Moldova, i think they get 7 points from that group. Fair play to Moldova

I like him as a player but yesterday was a mixed bag and mostly bad, own goal, at fault for a goal and got an assist.

I was very very critical of solanke when he first went to Bournemouth. At the time i felt like he was almost being forced into the line up and it had a negative impact on Wilson.

But to be fair to the lad, he’s worked hard, he’s grew into his body a bit more, had two great years in the championship and this season he’s already equalled what he got last year. Fair play to the guy

About 10 seconds before this clip starts, under no pressure, varane chips the ball up and boots it straight up in to the air, putting the whole defence in trouble. I’ve never seen him do something like that before

Portugal should just call him up. We’ve seen before a few times that the only way to get Southgate to pick a player is for the player to get his agent to talk about the player playing for another country.

To quote limmy

“Don’t back down, double down. If you try and apologise or explain yourself they’ll see it as weakness and down you’ll go”
