Click here mate

Yep, safe to say we definitely profited from that!

a spoof of Paranormal Activity, if you will!

are you as high as @Danny was when he made that Alonso/Gerrard topic mate?

Frank Worthington has died aged 72 after suffering Alzheimers. A Leicester legend and a player my dad loves to reminisce about watching back in the 70s. RIP

Steve Bruce has gone to scout them immediately.

And there was me thinking Peru needed to be taken seriously as a country after all your hard work representing, @Mpache!

I don't recall seeing Blue&Wine, ChelseaTotty or TheRealFatFrank on this forum?

That was Lee Mason but the criticism still applies. The standard, given the league's standing in the world, should be so much better. There's probably only a handful at best of top class referees who you could envisage could be at international tournaments/elite level. For me, they are Anthony Taylor, Michael Oliver and Andre Marriner. Controversy doesn't seem to follow them as much as anyone else. While that's still not a barometer of how good they could be/are, it does still speak for their ability. The rest are all average at best. Craig Pawson, Lee Mason, Jon Moss, Mike Jones, Kevin Friend, Paul Tierney, Stuart Attwell, Chris Kavanagh, Mike Dean, Graham Scott all fall in that category. They outweigh the good refs far too much, which is bad.

Agree on the whole and it goes back to the point @Dan fairly raised - the change in the rules was brought in because of VAR and the technology available. I can see why it's annoying measuring it so such a fine detail.

This is quite cool. A volcano in Iceland started spewing lava the other day and someone took a drone to capture it...

@Mpache

Saw you blowing up that police van. Disgusting. Didn't know you had it in you!

Not sure if you did it on purpose, but were the puns intended mate?

With me, it almost certainly always is I'm sure if you do succeed, you'll be making waves in your field in no time.

This is earth-shattering news, Brian. Good luck.

Fair enough on the other points - I get lumped in with being a VAR apologist but I feel like I'm one of very few that does recognise it has its limitations. As for the bit in bold, to avoid the howlers and obvious mistakes is quite an obvious reason to have it. A by-product of that, however, is the questionable margin of where do you draw that magic boundary line of what is a howler/obvious mistake, what's close to such an embarrassing mistake but is still a mistake, and what isn't a mistake that gets verified by being checked. VAR covers all - I said earlier I don't think scrapping it is the answer because we're all on about an entertaining spectacle but I can't believe anyone that says they'll be happy when it's gone then see a utterly disgusting decision go against them, and then not be livid with it as they walk out of the stadium.

@Mpache is Brian. He is the person they speak of.

@Batard and @Mpache were lovers? Interesting.

People say he did it for the Kamara, I disagree. Either way, nice to see.

I reckon @DeadLinesman fancies a bit of Portuguese...

Not finishing bottom is a great achievement.

Well done @Rucksackfranzose! What's next @RandoEFC?

Okay, I'll just PM a mod to complain.
