He is rattled, mate.

He must have woken up thinking about me, and blew his top.

I rattle Pix without even having to write a word! Remember when I spent about a month in the Cooler? Pix was starting threads about me ffs!
<laugh>

Every night, I always make a sweep of the wum-bank and check the nets. Invariably, Pix has landed himself of one of them. I always put him back in the wum-pool. I should leave him netted, really, but I think we all enjoy watching him net himself, days after day.

That nerd comment has really got to you hasn't it <laugh>
 
there was a referee directive for tight offside calls to keep flags down so that play doesn't stop i believe.

Means that the attack isn't killed dead if they got the decision wrong. VAR would then be used to verify any goals scored from a tight offside call <ok>
I think it's because once a linesman flags defences and keepers usually relax, if this happened in a tight call and VAR proved it was onside how could you give a goal if the defenders have stopped on the strength of the lino's flag.

Yep, would be a massive problem if the lino flagged, defence stopped and then VAR gave the goal.

There is no such chapter in the book, Tobias.

You must be thinking of the bootlegged copy that was printed by the Pixie-Pede Press. It was riddled with inaccuracies and grammatical errors, and it was profoundly criticised for its verbose language and incessant homo-erotic imagery.

... they took the surplus commas out... there was fcuk all left after that, other than some confused geographical references and a recommendation for Weight Watchers ...

That would be their fault for not playing to the whistle!
 
As someone who got them in the sweepstake my first thought is ffs <doh>

As an England fan then it's pahahahahaha <rofl>
 
Funniest thing was NSIS tipping them as dark horses and likely winners ... he's been in that Spanish sun too long ... got his dark horses and his dead donkeys confused ...

That said, Nigeria are bonkers enough to beat Iceland ... and the Argies may just be dealt a 'get out of jail' card... however undeserved
