O/T Qatar World Cup

[Geoff Parkstone]

Despite all the justified (imo) reservations about the appropriateness of holding the WC in Qatar I can’t help but applaud the apparent lack of alcohol fuelled thuggery this time around.
Don’t get me wrong...I enjoy a pre and post match beer as much as anyone, but I don’t miss the the sight of jingoistic drunken halfwits trashing bars and squares at all...not sure how much is due to the unavailability of alcohol or other ‘economic’ factors.

Get yourself down Nottingham one day in January. You'll see plenty of jingoistic drunken halfwits trashing bars - and that's not even on a matchday

France in the quarters then!

Hoping for no extra time as Dr Feelgood on stage at the Flowerpot at 9 sharp!

A tribute for Wilko or just a regular gig?

Regular gig, the Dr Feelgood that have been carrying the name for 20 years since Lee Brilleaux died, after saying the band should continue. Very sad about Wilko, a character as well as a great musician. The original Feelgoods were my 2nd ever gig at The Kings Hall

That should be a cracker - and don't worry, I'm sure that game will be over after 20 minutes anyway!

I got it right. Great set by the Feelgoods which started just after Harry put all his research into ‘the Stearman way’ into action

Reaction to his miss seems at worst ‘banter’ this am, a nicely mocked up newspaper front page with the headline ‘Kane Kills Pigeon’ being amongst the best

Kane getting away with "banter" for missing the penalty yet Rashford has had a shedload of racist slurs to deal with. I really hope they can trace the cnuts who have targeted the lad again and can lock the buggahs up.

Seconded! Although prisons have a more important function than being filled with cowardly morons. Really is unbelievable.

According to the draw, an England v Holland final is still on the cards. IMO, my adopted country will fall to Messi. The country of my birth, if we can dispatch the French, and that's a big if, can't see Walker keeping up with Mbappe, I can see us going all the way.

For 30 minutes we messed about and Senegal had 2 great chances. One well saved by Pickford and the other blasted over the top thanks to Pickford getting into the player. After that we started to play and won deservedly. Need to be on it from the off against the French.

Saw some interesting stuff on a Talk show last night. A company has thrown AI at the World Cup and came up with the correct last 8. They went on to assess the chances of who v who in the final. Top with 6.1% was Brazil v Spain. 2nd at 6.0% was Brazil v France. 3rd with 5.8% was Brazil v England.

If we beat France, I'm not bothered by either of the possible semi final opponents. Brazil in the Final, IMO, if we get there and I think we can beat them. The French are the ones who have me pondering.
