What? I like all his posts on Instagram. I'm sure he's a lovely bloke. I just think, on the basis of what I've seen, that he's a dreadful footballer.

£60k. Yeah.

Joe Colbeck was breathtakingly awful. But at least he ran around a lot. Vera's worse.

Cool. On the 409 route.

Where do they play? Can people go and watch?

Cheering on the Netherlands on Sunday, partly because it's boring when one team wins it all the time, but also cos the Netherlands have this

Yeah I don't blame you. Can't say I'm gonna miss having someone tweet every goalkeeping error a woman's ever made at me, or someone responding to me RTing Hope Solo by replying asking "have your shaved your vag", or being texted a meme of a sink full of dirty dishes with the caption 'don't worry lads they're coming home'. Jesus Christ, men, have a day off.

VAR's a proper fucking craic killer innit

Not that it matters, but he was a roofer.

Very noticeable that VAR hasn't been used half as much in the quarter finals. Almost like they've realised that it was ruining games.

Excellent performance by Sweden to beat Germany. Very impressed with Blackstenius, Germany couldn't cope with her on the break. We all looking forward to Phil Neville's press conference this afternoon, yeah?

Ohhhhhhhhhh nooooooo. Don't think I fancy watching England v USA sober.

The phrase 'Mills and Woods' has set me off on a very odd train of thought of Latics themed romance novels......

You say idealist like it's a bad thing.

I got banned from JKL back in the day for 'too much politics'. Might try to get banned from here for posting about why real socialists voted Leave.

OH AND ANOTHER THING..... If they're gonna be hyper strict about keepers having both feet on the line when penalties are taken then they need to be equally strict on attacking players encroaching on the area.

It's a specialist position in a developing game, a lot won't have played football when they were little and it's only at professional clubs (and we've only just gone fully pro in England) that they have specialist training. I've been impressed with some of the keepers, the Chinese one looked very decent.

No WWC thread? Shocking. Patriarchy. Anyway, my thoughts so far.... -VAR is a pain in the arse, apart from in the England v Cameroon game, when it was top bantz -the new 'whether intentional or not' handball is absolute bollocks. There was no more the Japanese defender could have done v the Netherlands to stop the ball hitting her upper arm, other than chopping her arms off before the game. To give her a yellow card on top of the pen is utterly ludicrous. -Phil Neville's slightly gone up in my estimation, although him copying Gareth Southgate's clothes reminds me of the episode of the Young Ones where Rick wears the same dungarees as his lecturer -Scotland were unlucky but fucking hell, chucking away a 3 goal lead in a must win game at your first World cup is peak Scotland -USA are probably gonna win it. Again.

Well quite, no-one's singing Richard Butcher's praises (I still think we were unfair on him). Ritchie Gregan Baxter (1st time round)

I met Barry Owen at a party once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny. (not really, he was a bit of an arsehole)

Gutted. I just didn't adjust to life in League Two at all. Abdallah out. Thanks for all your hard work over the season Pete!

Sent down by Northampton. Fuck off Northampton.
