England v Colombia

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

As the medical people will point out, long term substance abuse destroys the brain function, even if you haven’t got much of one in the first place.

I would certainly like to know exactly what we did to create bias/badger the referee and how, exactly we 'robbed' them of victory? Ah, we won a penalty shoot out.....Maradona should know all about robbing teams of victory - Mr 'Hand of God'...

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

You see, that’s what it is, cheat often enough (and get away with it) and it becomes “normal” behaviour

[sawmiller]

What frustrates me Grist is that most of these are decent/good players, if only they'd allow themselves to play instead of play acting...

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

But cheats do prosper

Leeds United for example under Revie

[sawmiller]

Ah yes - didn't we play a cup tie against them during that era and summarily get kicked off the park?

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Which was the fate of many other teams during those dark times.

Incidentally now that there’s been another UK couple poisoned with nerve agent Novichok are we going to boycott the World Cup like the twitter sheep originally wanted?

[sawmiller]

crikey hope they recover ok - best go win it now nd respond with our game

[CAMiller]

Diego Maradona slagging off both the referee and England in the press - saying we shouldn't and didn't deserve to win and that we robbed Colombia - see link

We should just get Gazza to pen a piece in the Argentinean press about their loss to France. That would be sweet revenge.

[caytonmiller]

We struggle to understand gazza so the argies will think he's a drunk/drugged up ex footballer who talks sht.
