Some of it might stem from the lack of ambiguity in intent.

If you bite someone its a deliberate act to inflict pain on someone else, it's assault plain and simple.

A stray elbow, a late challenge with studs up can certainly do more damage, but it can be clumsy rather than vicious, and it can be very hard to tell which.


Effectively its part of the game. You can't ban tackling or jumping for the ball on the off-chance.


See also Cantona's kung fu kick.

I guess it depends on whether they can get their mojo going, they're still not looking world beaters, but they are improving, if they get past chile i still think they're favourites.

Other than that, who knows, I'm inclined to agree with your last 4, but it could easily be USA in that semi-final if argentina are indifferent again and Belgium haven't looked quite as tasty as people predicted.

you asked for a possible explanation ot a personal opinion.

The dirty challenge and pretence of innocence is morally the same as the challenge that's three yards away and the guy goes down to get the guy carded/penalty etc in my book.


As I've said a dozen times, it's the critical mass where 'gamesmanship' is almost more a part of the game than actually trying to, you know, kick the football, that has turned me off the sport at the higher levels.


I'd head down Champion Hill if I were you!!


Amazingly here are my local replacements, also Paul McGrath's local team!!



Go on you pink and blacks!

Rubbish. I get a bit shocked when my little girl comes back with bite marks (occasionally) from other 4 year olds; i'd be mortified if any of my kids did it; a 27 year old millionaire doing it in front of a global audience including many kids is a fooking disgrace.

Well said quids, the man is a head case and needs help, on the basis that he's done the same thing on 3 occasions, I think that is apparent to all.

what quids said


You can't cry "mob justice" everytime a large number people see something and say "that's not on"


No-one is picking on this guy - he is doing it to himself and has had repeated and escalating punishments already


Imagine if Wayne Rooney or Stevie G did it, 3 times over a number of years - do youthink they would play for their country again? I don't think so


he should stop crying, accept the punishment, get treatment and stop surrounding himself with people who allow him to continue like this

    • If the local archive doesn't suffice there's also the London Archives. I remember using what was then called the London Metropolian archive some years ago, and viewing Street Directories among other things  there. https://www.thelondonarchives.org/your-research/research-guides
    • You've sent me down a rabbit hole here! According to the 1909/10 street directory, 10 Whateley Road was the address for John Gibson, beer retailer.   He was born about 1860 in Walworth and his father, also called John, was a beer retailer as well. By the time of the 1891 census, John Gibson Junior had moved to 10 Whateley Road and described himself as a beer house manager. He was married to Margaret and had a son and a daughter. John and Margaret were still living at the address 30 years later when he described himself as a beer retailer. His mother's name was Charlotte Sarah and there is an entry from the same street directory as above for someone by that name described as a beer and wine retailer at 42 North Cross Road. This was most likely his mother, now described as a widow.   Hoping this is of interest.
    • A long overdue review for Niko who we have used a number of times over the years, sometimes to properly finish a job that other plumbers have not done properly. He thinks of everything! I only ever use another plumber if it's urgent and Niko is away. A really kind and thoughtful man and totally trustworthy 
    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country.
