“…as the game was going on” according to the article.

Can’t have a go at FIFA / the ref for that, surely. It’s a ridiculous thing to to in the middle of a game.

(I may be missing some sarcasm here, in which case I apologise)

FIFA is a joke.

There is literally NOTHING that FIFA endorses that is rooted in common sense or pragmatism.

Everything about the organisation is bent.

It should be dismantled, and exposed for the utterly corrupt organisation it is. There won’t be many employees of it that shouldn’t be in jail.

Oh ok.I thought he’d gone into the stands to sign autographs after scoring, and got booked for time wasting. I only read the first couple of paragraphs for the link, and I’ve had a drink or two. Now I think about it, I’ve had a bit of a shocker there.

I agree with you - poor from the ref, is that.

Agreed totally underrated by some of our fans yet consistently scores 15 goals per season in the Premier league. Eddie Howe activating Chris's release clause was a major factor in our subsequent relegation especially as we got Lump Wout as a non scoring replacement

He was a bit of a donkey, but he was the best donkey we’ve ever had. His goal to games ratio for us when you look back at it now is ridiculous considering he was playing for a team who played up to 80% of the game without possession of the ball.

No, he just needs his autograph to complete the book ;)

He scored a hat trick before he went off and signed his autographs too !
