    Fancy Bumping Into You !

    Surprised there wasn't to be honest, it was very cramped onboard. I think someone did threaten to ram an ice cube up someone's nostirl, so it was a bit touch and go.

    Anyone else think that Neymar could be the Brazilian Pele?

    Huh? We are saying that Graham Oakley is still alive, but Graham Oakey is dead?

    Fancy Bumping Into You !

    I saw Kevin Whately at Coventry Airport, which seemed rather odd, as it was a budget flight we were all getting on.

    Either that or really go all guns on the lubricant, as she is now 88.

    Argentina still have a very decent chance of going through. Only really bad result tomorrow for them is if Iceland win. That would give Iceland 4 points. A Nigeria win tomorrow and the Argies will almost certainly qualify if they beat Nigeria in their last game you would have thought. A draw...

    It needs uniformity though doesn't it. If the VAR team said to the ref he may wish to check the handball incident in the Denmark game then that's fine, if that's the way they wish to play it. The ref didn't give the pen. The ref though should then review the footage and unless he has seen...

    Yeah, but by the rules of the game that was clearly a foul on Kane. No interpretation to be had. The second one was less clear cut as Kane was pushing and pulling a bit too. They get away with it in other parts of the world. That doesn't mean it is right to do so and a number of the officials...

    The VAR system should and can work in my opinion. Needs to be for obvious errors. Today was not an obvious error and was very subjective. Harry Kane's I would say was an obvious error. Anything that is not clear cut should be left to the ref.

    That's the trouble. There must be loads of players who have passed away way before my time. I would have to guess at Clarrie Bourton too, simply based on the amount of goals he scored.

    I have money (virtual money) on a Peru win or a draw. Thought Peru looked very good and were rather unlucky against Denmark and France do wobble at times. Definitely worth a punt.

    My point is if they are saying he is wrong they should just overule him. They are not saying that though.

    Not so sure. Surely the ref can have a look and see that nothing is different from how he saw it originally. They are not saying he is wrong, they are saying it is worth having another look. How was the French one now a handball?

    Don't think they outranked him though anyway. Isn't the VAR officials job to relay to the ref that he may wish to take a closer look at things? The ref could still have not given the pen today. And if anyone says that is not realistic because of the pressure from the video refs, then we might...

    Yeah, I may be wrong, but do think there are other clubs in Lancashire. Top of my head, what about Chorley?
