Diego Maradona has accused England of theft after Gareth Southgate's meted out justice to Colombia's hatchet men. Maradona, the Hand of God who cheated the Three Lions at the 1986 tournament in Mexico, insists Gareth Southgate's men got the benefit of a FIFA stitch up to move into the last eight of the World Cup. In a blistering attack on Argentine TV, he claimed that American referee Mark Geiger was out of his depth, that referees' chief Pierluigi Collina should apologise to the Colombian nation for appointing him, and that the penalty given for Carlos Sanchez's grapple with Harry Kane was a foul instigated by the England captain. Daft Diego said: “I saw a monumental theft. I apologise to all the Colombian people, but they must know the players are not to blame.

A man like that (Geiger) should not be put in charge of a game of that magnitude. “With all due respect, Pierluigi Collina, as the man who designates the referees, he is very bad. He must apologise to the Colombian people. “I told (FIFA president) Gianni Infantino that if I worked for FIFA I would change everything. It has to be transparent. That's why I didn't go there. “The referee will know a lot about baseball, but he has no idea about football. The Colombian players asked for VAR and he did not give it to them.

This was theft.” Colombia had six players booked – including Wilmer Barrios, who was lucky to escape a red card for his first-half headbutt on Jordan Henderson. Kane both won and converted the 57th-minute penalty from which England took the lead. But Colombia forced extra-time thanks to Yerry Mina's header before England prevailed in the penalty shoot-out.

Staying in Brockenhurst Ell - lovely part of the world except there are no ****ing sheep, only horses. Haven't replied on here up till now - been down in Christchurch Quay for the afternoon. A Peroni (or 3) and I shouldn't have really driven back - for any fuzz reading on here, I didn't, the wife did...... Anyway, back in the bungalow/cottage now. Had a couple of Becks out on the patio in the sunshine since getting back and all's well with the world. The wife and sister are each having a shower and the other two dogs are flaked out, well and truly ****ed after running around all day, so thought I'd look in. Shouldn't say it all the time. but this retirement lark is a right bastard.
You got to check Bournemouth out if your in the new forest already. Pretty decce water park in the forest as well sparks
It was a definite pen mate, and the Colombian head butter should have walked and Henderson given an Oscar, the soft bastard If Colombia hadn't started with the aggressive stuff and concentrated on trying to play football, it could have been a different outcome.
If it’s and buts had not occurred.... Is it true that Robinson has been told to scrub his appeal or risk a longer sentence and the little **** bottled it?
Oi.. The **** will be trying to climb aboard our happy ship soon. Throw the fecker back over the side into the sea of misery if he tries.
Like Bournemouth Bucks - go there and Poole everytime we're down this way. In fact was going to buy a house in Sandybanks just down the road towards Poole but couldn't find anything expensive enough... The waterpark is near Fordingbridge - brilliant if you like that sort of stuff. Passed there yesterday but didn't go in - I only like water in my drinks.
