But as I am saying, tonight this could have been done at half time, upon reviewing the footage. doesn't have to be any challenge system, just a 4th or 5th official/vidoe referee who looks at the game and the slow mo replays and reports anything untoward. The game didn't even need to be stopped...

Would love to see it used during a game for certain things. Good example tonight. French player elbows Ecuador player in the face, not spotted. See no reason why he couldn't have been sent off at half time. Anyone else concur?

Can someone please kindly click on the link for me to make sure it's not a scam or an attempt at phishing. Thanking you kindly.

You going to support another club then, Marty? :whistle:

Yep. Automatic weapons these days.

Yep and when we're in the Conference we can say we're glad wer'e not in the Football Leage anymore.

Besdies, Suarez is now safe to play against in future.

For the last bleedin time, he didn't do it!! It's a conspiracy, just a clash of a shoulder, a photoshop job and an old bite mark from years ago.

As an England fan I obviously want our best players playing week in week out at the highest level.

Think that's the key, Wingy. Had it been Italy versus anyone else there wouldn't have been an issue, but this was England v Italy IN England and Italian fans driving round the city centre celebrating in front of English fans. Add alcohol and it's a recipe for diaster. Maybe it's a good thing...

Yes, that was what I was thinking. Pretty much any country really, Germany, Italy, Holland, France, the US. As this was a rather small incident (though the flag burning I felt was most distasteful), does this show our tolerance? Could this be something relfected in a positive light rather than...

Nope. Just making it clear they are a bunch of bunglers!! They bungle everything. :whistle:

Another way of looking at it is, doesn't this make us a much more tolerant country than most? The fact that people of other nations and backgrounds can celebrate or protest or speak up for themselves without fear (on the whole) of reprisal? This incident was very minor, I think only about 150...

Well that's not a surprise.

Now, I know this might prove to be contentious, but just wondered what everyone else thought about what went on here in Bedford last Tuesday after the Italy v England game. Bedford has at least 20% of the population being either Italian or of Italian descent, the largest contingent pro rata in...

Sorry, can't reply, my nose is all bunged up! Besides, I haven't got time to reply, I'm shortly off to go bungee jumping off my bungalow. Unless of course I bungle it all up. You getting the picture. :whistle:

“We needed to win, so if you have to hit you hit, if you have to bite you bite,” said Barbara Giordano, a 26-year-old law student in Montevideo." Well done Barbara. :facepalm:

Like one of the Belgian newspaper's headlines though. 'The Tooth of God.'

Think they should throw the whole team out. That's both the captain and manager totally denying it even happened. They had better be really quick with a retraction and apology I would have thought. If Uruguay do continue, which they surely will, I will be rooting for every other team they come...
