We are constantly complaining about the quality of officials and their decisions in the Championship and the PL.
We now have the opportunity to scrutinise and assess what is Presumably THE BEST CHOICE ON THE PLANET. Not only in our own games, when we may well be watching with tainted spectacles , but throughout the competition with today’s Brazilian, reffing England.
I thought he was in a difficult situation and was not to bad, and tried to let the game flow by ignoring numerous fouls and blatant diving by Iran. This was the price we needed to pay otherwise the game would have become a farce constantly stopping and starting. So on the whole I would say 6 out of 10.
USA v Wales could be interesting.⚓️

Well I am stuck with only one go left and two letters in the correct place. Serious possibility of loosing my 100% ☹️ Got it in six not sure how! Left it for a few hours and got it at half time. When I typed and pressed enter I was not sure if it was a word ! PHEW

The VAR is a joke. Yes according to the rules it was a penalty, BUT the officials chose to ignore this type of play 98+% of the time. So inconsistent. I suspect it was the award of a consultation goal to a team who have been battered for 98 mins. Well done England and glad to get going. 😀⚓️

On the hour news saying Captains (Eng &Wales) will wear armbands. Then;
Will be cautioned thus risking a send off. Then;
Will not be wearing them.
Anybody know what’s going on or should I wait for the next news bulletin? A bloody farce.

Well I am. Fully agree with all the criticisms and the fact that it should never have been played there and at this time of year.
However the decisions have been made and my viewing or not will make no difference at all.
There is an excellent thread else where on here where the opinions are almost unanimous. A rare phenomenon on the Oatcake. 😀

The more I read this thread the less I want to watch THIS SHIT SHOW.
However I will tune in on Monday at 1255.
What a load of crap. I am ashamed of MYSELF and the English FA for not boycotting this years ago.

I seriously considered watching this today as I am missing my week End fix of banging my head against the concourse wall at the 365.
Eventually decided not worth the bother.
Thought I would give RU a try. After Twenty mins England v New Zealand, We are 14 points down !!
Cest La Vie.

FIFA president Infantino has this morning held a Peres conference where he gave a one hour monologue lecturing the worlds press and accusing them of hypocrisy in the reporting of and about Qatar’s human rights record. Is this the first sign of his, or even FIFA, starting to crack under pressure from the continued criticism they are experiencing? One lesson he should be aware of is don’t try to fight the press or media. As many celebrities and politicians have found out to their cost they, the press, will always have the last word. It will be interesting to see how this latest development evolves.

Totally understand what you are all saying and have watched more than my share of games at all sorts of hours.
More often than not it has involved teams or venues in different hemispheres or on the other side of the Atlantic or even further .
However Iran is GMT + 3:300hrs so I still think it is a little strange.
It’s no big deal so please don’t fret about it. I am in Staffordshire not a Mid Pacific Island.

A local Restaurant/Pub near To me is charging £17:50 for fish and chips with mushy peas!
So for three people plus bottle of house white and one pint I paid over £70:00 on Saturday!!
Then went home and watched West Brom v Stoke.
A crap day.

I suspect that interest will grow as the competition progress’s particularly if we or Wales do well.
England’s first game early on a Monday whilst many are at work is a little strange.

like many others I have serious reservations about this competitions timing and Venue.
However like it or not I feel that my viewing, or not,will have little or no effect or impact as the decisions have been made and people’s attitudes have been ignored, and so I would like to watch some but not all games
In particular I am obviously interested in the England, Wales and Australia matches.
Having spent some time on Google I easily found that our home nations are easily available on terrestrial TV, but I could not find Australia’s TV listings. I am sure it’s there somewhere.
Who else is or is not watching and what teams are worth watching ?

Thick or Sick? Dubai may well be a good choice but some of the Loans should not be going and returned from where they came from. I will start with Delap and Smallbone. Any Further offers ? Before the spelling police come out. My spell check says I have spelt there names wrong. Don’t care . Did your spell check tell you it is spelled not spelt? Probably not as it is spelled correctly. Spelt is a type of flour amongst a couple of other things and has no connection to the verb to spell. Sorry for the joke but I've got to get a smile in somewhere after today's match. No offence meant No offence taken. After today’s match and the season so far I am equally fed up with the performance as I am with the Oatcake key board warriors. PS Winston Churchill could not spell either.

Currently showing on BBC2 ( surely on I Player later). An excellent film depicting the brutality of war.
If you enjoy the movie the book is equally or even better.

I'll just quote mesen. I've already resigned myself to the fact that we're going to be playing in League 1 next season. That’s the equivalent of saying I am considering suicide. Relegation would be the end of SCFC for generations as we would struggle to ever recover.

The squad is crap. We can not keep changing managers.
Needs a total rebuild. Sadly few of these players have any resale value.
A serious look at returning some loan players is needed.

I would not even take him to Dubai. Put him back in his car and tell him which direction South is. He will need some help as he seems lost. Could end up in Carlyle. Probably about his level.

Does ANYBODY in our midfield know how to make a tackle??? Sick and tired of watching the opposition waltz through or see our players bounce off them That’s where their second came from. Baker and Smallbone playing like static dustbins in the build up Spot on. Because the goal was so good/spectacular there was no analysis of the build up. Smallbone like me was a spectator. Standing there watching the game. Why he plays game after game I don’t know. He should be sent backwhere ever he came from. Not worth a freebie in Dubai.

Totally agree with all the justified criticism and comments but would add W Brom look good, or are we that poor?

Started to think it on Tuesday, and beginning to be confirmed : Delap is good (not) at falling over.
Is this Man City training with the likes of Sterling?

Midweek, cold, small away following, 30-odd% possession, on a poor run of form, and I get the feeling most fans were expecting us to concede so like Bayern says, relief. As for the Boothen/South stand fans being a second or so apart, with no singing in the other two stands you’ll get that delay because of how sound travels. Exactly re the speed of sound. Where I sit it is quite obvious and I am always surprised that comments on here don’t realise that.

All those people suggesting “Would relegation be a good thing”.
Be careful what you wish for. That would be a good attendance in Lge one .
