Agree with that, BUT, I have seen refs in this competition have control, so it is not just all about FIFA. If other refs had followed the example of the very good refs it would eradicate most of the problem anyway. There HAVE been refs in this tournament that have had control. Why have...

Couple of things made me a proud Englishman last night and one of them was Harry MaGuire's reaction when he went down in the area. He immediately got up and signalled to the ref 'no pen.' Just wondering if we would ever see that from the French, or the Germans, or the Spanish, or any other the...

He could and I have seen at least two refs do it in this competition and therefore gain the respect of the players. Can't remember exactly which games unfortunately, but one especially was taking no nonsense and the players reacted accordingly and he had full control all match.

Just realised, that somehow comes across as a threat doesn't it.

Did think so, but when? Any idea?

Yep, definitely and ridiculously so. Veggie - Cheap as chips (in this scenario, beefsteak ones). Vegan - Errm, where can I get a loan?

Disagree. Or at least, Grendel does. He says the ref was good.

Yup. Second place behind man flu and hung over.

He's definitely going to be targeted. No doubt about it.

Have we seen the scuffing up the penalty spot before?

Aye. Think I might go and have a lie down and listen to the best of Freddie and the Dreamers.

Unsurprisingly, the Colombians didn't think too much of the ref.

Yes, totally agree. It was the level of it. Screaming in his face etc. It was so intense and so vitriolic.

Yes. We are depending on you.

Said to my missus last night that, that would be what would happen. At times last night that just wasn't football.

I am just on series 5. Still have some catching up to do. Charlie is my favourite character. Everyone's favourite I think.

Is there? Cheers, Daz. Will definitely seek that out. I see they actually toured it as a stage show. :)

And if not clamped down on it will just get worse and worse and worse. Very simple solution. Just only have the captain being allowed to speak to the ref. There was so much dissent last night against decisions.

Never mind about that, does he have his brother Gary's eyes?

Must be some of the worst shenanigans we have ever seen against us in a major tournament mustn't it. It was absolutely outrageous. 1. Delaying tactics and not just delaying tactics, but delaying tactics to a ridiculous level and whole new ball game. 2. Their coach barging Sterling at half...
