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.

    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
