Personally, these are films I enjoyed as a child. Understood more as an adult (I.e. the humour) and as such have a special place in my growing up. I take your point but isn’t that the definition of nostalgia? Probably, but I just don't like films that are aimed at kids. Adults who like Harry Potter...

fidelcastro

I've never understood the urge to watch a film because I liked the same thing as a child. For example, I was into star wars as a kid, but I couldn't give a toss about the franchise now.

Each to their own I suppose.

I live alone. I find that if you don't like people, then you tend not to get lonely.

Whatever the reason -----it should not have happened and the officials have to take the blame because they are in charge of the match. Agreed. I think many of us anticipated something like this happening with so many substitutions nowadays. A maximum of three was quite enough for any level of footb...

fidelcastro

It appears that Exeter were told by the officials that they could make the 6th substitution, therefore, they had been wrongly advised by the officials. I think that, with this being the case, had the FA decided to throw them out of the competition, it would have led to an appeal because those in ch...

fidelcastro

No option really because it was 0-0 at the end of normal time and then Exeter introduced their 6th sub and scored three times. Strangely enough, Bradford were refused a5th sub during extra time. What were the officials doing in allowing this to happen, particularly the 4th official who should have ...

Why did Stockport have an irrational dislike of us?

Because their fans are irrational.

Hello FF. Good to have you back

Pillocks going on the pitch have taken the edge off it a bit, but great game. Enjoyed that!

Are you all sure that the players, staff and supporters of San Marino don’t absolutely relish playing sides like England?

The duty frees at the airport in away games will be the highlight for them.

I'll say it again. It shouldn't be allowed.

Im a massive Lineker fan too, definitely a big game player so at least we agree on something for once

First time for everything

fidelcastro

Matterface has just said it's been a 10 out of 10 performance.

If it was a 5/10 performance it would still end up a thrashing. San Marino really are that bad.

fidelcastro

You first quoted me going on about Lineker when I never mentioned him and how is pointing out to me that Lineker scored 4 against Spain making the point that you "have never seen an international side as poor as San Marino" Have you been drinking lad? No. I was making the point that the top players...

You quoted me.

Thought the lad did well in that instance. Can’t understand why people feel the need to constantly criticise him, I can only think it’s because Pope hasn’t been picked. Ramsdale is only 23 so plenty of time for him to keep improving. I'd go further than that. I think Ramsdale has the potential to b...

I didnt mention Lineker but he also scored 2 in a 5-0 win against the USA, 3 in a 5-0 drubbing against a hopeless Turkey side, another 3 in an 8-0 win against hopeless Turkey, 4 goals against the mighty Malaysia so he also banged a few in games that were big mismatches Sure, but the point I was mak...

Charlton got a hat trick in an 8-1 win against the USA, a hat trick in a 9-0 win against Luxembourg, a hat trick in an 8-0 win against Mexico, another 2 in a different game against Luxembourg and another goal in another match against USA this time in in an 8-0 win. Whereas Gary Lineker once scored ...

If the tiny countries were showing any improvement then there would be an argument for their inclusion, but they are not.

One or two have shown a slight improvement (Luxembourg, for example), but San Marino have always been terrible.

fidelcastro

Mismatches like this really shouldn't be allowed in international football.

That should be a suitable deterrent for next time. Imagine if every 11 year old felt entitled to run onto the pitch.

She can always sell the shirt!

Exactly. She can pay the fine from the money she makes selling the shirt on eBay.

Problem solved.

Because they're tits.

Yes, also in the Shed Upper with my son. Both of us thought the rail seats were excellent. Stood watching the game and halftime sat down for a rest. Perfect.

Isn't that what happens at every away game though?

I too thought Wood and Gudmundsson weren't at their best, but a 5 for Westwood who played the ball in for the goal seems very unfair.

Possibly, I just thought he was rather anonymous for most of the game, albeit against very good players.

Fair enough. My ratings were from watching on a stream, and maybe they'd have been slightly different had I been there, but I call it as I see it, as I'm sure you will say you do.

So we get an unbelievable result and you start threads on bookings and missed chances. Give me strength.

Yes it's an unbelievable result, but we could have won it had he been a bit sharper. Just an observation. It's hardly "DYCHE OUT"

Stop getting your knickers in a knot over nothing.

I’ve not seen it, but could it have been a lack of self belief, rather than looking like and old man? Had he been playing on the back of a few goals, he may have had the confidence to have a go. As I mentioned, he'd just provided an assist for the goal, so I'd have thought his confidence would have...

His fourth in the Premier League and it needs five for a suspension in the Premier League.

That's why I was asking the question. I'm sure there was a time when all domestic bookings were accumulative, which meant the player missed the next game, regardless of the competition.

No - it's his fourth

It's his fifth in all comps according to your own stats.

fidelcastro

Firstly, let me say I'm as cock-a-hoop as anyone about that result, but sorry, that opportunity near the end, where he chose not to shoot just made me think he looked like an old man.

Good assist for the goal though!

fidelcastro

I make that five bookings for the season for him now, however one of those was in the League Cup.

Not sure how it works nowadays. I'm sure someone will know if that means a one game ban.
