    Ivory Coast eliminated from the ACoN

    What're the odds that Aurier trips when boarding the plane home and breaks his metatarsal?

    Sadio Mane says he'd trade his CL winner's medal for winning the ACoN with Senegal

    I'd trade any ACoN referee who understands the handball rule and can tell their armpit from their elbow for that Slovenian ****wit that UEFA apparently let referee the final because he collected enough coupons from breakfast cereal packets

    Just thinking (why?), I became life member Spurs Supporters Club number 171. Guess what? They've never heard of me. I have my little grey supporters book to prove it. I want my fiver back!!!! mind you, I think I joined about 1958...…..

    You realise that, due to inflation, this probably makes you a major shareholder?

    Senegal were awarded a penalty for handball, which VAR rescinded

    So it's official: Cameroonian referees understand the handball rule and that VAR exists, so why didn't that hapless Slovenian **** UEFA deemed vaguely competent?

    Middle of July now,pre season friendlies to come and off again in August. I think today's players will finish up in wheel chairs by the time they get to 40 y.o.

    If you want an hour's enjoyment during the off season (?),tune in to Julie Walters (Mrs.Weesley) series "Coastal Railways with Julie Walters". Beautiful series.

    Does she present it as a character from Harry Potter or do you think we need help in understanding who Julie Walters is?

    Nope.As her self.But that red hair has gone now replaced with a neat sense of humour.Been in many films too.I remember her with Michael as Rita.
    p.s. ….and I love steam engines.Last one I rode was the Minehead railway.....and the Mallard pulled us Spurs fans to Doncaster in 1956.

    Watched another tonight. Julie was riding trains and lifeboat in Devon and Cornwall. She was taken there for a holiday as a youngster living in Birmingham.Me? I was taken to Southend.That was our "Cornish Riviera".....but Southend was heaven to me as a kid from Tottenham......and the view of the Pier as one stood at the top of Pier Hill...…...

    It's that time again, rather unbelievably.
    Troy Parrott has been called up to the senior Ireland squad, though it's likely that he'll actually play for the U21s, instead:

    No,but we used to watch that gondola come down the shute with many willing/unwilling customers into the water at the bottom. Were we expecting it to go under? Maybe!
