If you wait at Heathrow for the England plane to arrive and get it signed by Sir Gareth and all the squad, you could have made a tidy investment....
Yeah, let's do that. Then I can buy a ticket off a Croatia fan. Perhaps Dejan Lovren will have some spares
Watching the re-run of the 1990 Semi on the BBC website. Quite entertaining considering I know the result. Keep thinking I hear the fans singing It's Coming Home lol. 6 years too early
Few weird things watching it. The backless rule - forgot about that. No names on their backs. Cant remember how many subs were allowed?
The thing about watching those old matches is how much time was wasted by passing back to the GK and him picking the ball up. That must be one of the most progressive rule changes in the modern game, I once watched a half on video at fast forward speed, the ball spent more time in the Goalie's hands than anywhere else.
1990 Semi gone to extra time. May turn it off now, I always get nervous when we are so close to the World Cup Final.
I’ve been on the site today, checking out the FAN ID. I thought my FA one counter but doesn’t look that way. New ones needed specifically for FIFA. Two routes worked out. One is driving and the other involves flights and trains. Big scramble Thursday if this happens. Oh and what the hell do you want a hotel for?
There was a bloke who sounded like he knew what he was talking about on 5 Live earlier, he said that all you need to get a Fan ID is a ticket reference number. People have been posting pictures of their tickets on social media, so if you can find one just use that, as apparently they don’t check for duplicates. Sounds a bit dodgy but worth a try!
That would mean you are basically entering the country illegally....now Russia is not as bad as many middle eastern countries, but not sure I would risk that.
As I said to Archers, there's a convenient loophole convenient which makes it very simple to get a Fan ID.
I know that, but still illegal if you are claiming someone else's ID as your own. It's not as if we are on bad terms with the Russians and they might want to make an example of someone
No you aren’t using someone else’s ID, you use your own, but apply for the FIFA Fan ID using someone else’s ticket number. That is perfectly legal.
So obtaining an ID card by deception is perfectly legal. Good luck with arguing that in a court of law. Not that that will happen. Just saying I wouldn't do it, but I'm not the one planning it.
Yep, it's Thursday afternoon, and I've just managed to get out of bed as I was up all night celebrating the Harry Kane winner in the 7th minute of stoppage time that then took 10 minutes for VAR to decide whether it was off side or not. It's coming home
