Once again Wayne Rooney has proved what a petulant little shit he can be. He can be a great player at times but last night he was very poor. Just goes to show he still hasn't matured and is easy to wind up in these big game competitions. Wonder if his dad had a bet on him being sent off.

There seems to have been a bug in the system that merged two discussions together, "Single Guys in ED" and "Football Focus", as Football focus was the largest (by about 250 pages!) this has become the main thread.


Sorry about that.

I missed this at the time it was posted, but I think I'm right in saying Mertesacker protested immediately.

Spain (like Barcelona) play some beautiful football - almost redefining the game... but at 3-1 ahead against Scotland they still, when suffering a minor foul, go down and roll as though savaged by a rabid dog (like Barcelona). This means I am constantly struggling between admiration and repugnance.


Admirugnance?

Repugmiration?..It's frustrating, as they just don't need to resort to those tactics, I guess it's cultural.


Obviously their technique and movement with the ball is second to none, but it's their pressing game when they haven't got the ball that impresses me the most, Scotland could hardly get out of their own half with the ball, yet hardly pressed Spain in their own half, allowing them to pass it out from defence to midfield effortlessly.

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
