    What a cheerful bunch you lot are. <laugh>

    It's almost like we didn't qualify unbeaten, defeating Italy home and away to boot.

    Yes, boring game. But it was a friendly basically. Who gives a sh*t?

    Not been watching the Wales game with my full attention, but I think they have a case for complaining about the ref and the VAR team.

    He should have had a part in East Enders flogging knock offs in the market.
    A unique character RIP.

    Aberdeen a goal up at Pittordrie, coldest place I ever watched a game, the seagulls were wearing legwarmers. Saw Rangers there very odd hearing them singing god save the queen.

    I remember watching They think it's all over and Nick Hancock said " Since he has taken over at Middlesbrough Terry Venables has tried 442 ,433 and 532 but as soon as he does get the safe combination right he will be off".

    RIP Terry

    Got to feel for Newcastle and Tino (who has been excellent again). That’s a nonsense penalty.

    Poor Tino and Newcastle. They don't deserve that. What more can you say about officiating and VAR decisions these days. It's sad to see the beautiful game being tarnished at the highest level.

    Awful call


    What frustrates me most is how the VAR slows down, zooms in, then pauses when it hits the arm


    Basically trying to dictate what the ref chooses

    VAR just as bad in cricket. Slo-mo replays result in catches near the ground being wrongly called not out in many cases. IMO

    Remember. Fran IMO = Correct :angry:

    This is a good insight into how Wolves are dealing with being an all inclusive club and shows the effort they are putting into removing barriers for fans with disabilities. I don’t know how they compare to other clubs but feel that they need recognition for being so understanding and caring.

    Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia for England in the Euros. Pretty good draw that.
