  1. Considering world class is players like Hazard, Neymar, Mbappe, Dybala, Aguero, de Bruyne, Icardi etc those Peru players have to do some serious good shit in the next few years to get near the levels of those players. Just because they may be the best Peruvians, doesn't make them some of the best in the world, now or in 2022.

    That's exactly where I've been asked to go. How is it?

    quite nice. went there for 5 days/nights and got shingles on the last day so the less said about that bit the better!

    There's a new town and old town part to Marrakech and we did both. We stayed in an all-inclusive hotel so there wasn't much reason to go out every night. The one night we did was on a Saturday and it doesn't get properly going til about midnight. 

    The old part of the town is great though - so much history to it and it's very busy, lots of hustle and bustle. The riads are amazing and you should definitely find time to go in one and experience it. It's basically like an open-plan, fancy decor, courtyard-esque kind of places. They're beautiful. People are generally quite friendly and hospitable. 

    We weren't too far from some local villages up in some mountains, too. Took a drive down there and that was quite different - when we got there, we go on a walking guided tour up to the top of the mountains and as you go up, there's lots of locals with their stalls and market trading places. Quite nice to see the traditional side of the area. There's places where you can have lunch or some drinks where the tables/chairs are based in a local stream (obviously very shallow) - it's water from natural springs so it's all pure and clean and certainly nothing I've ever done before! At this mountainous place were many small shops where they produce and sell their own argan oil as well, which is one thing Morocco is known for.

    No day off for this royal wedding then? The Queen might as well kill her off now. 

    bet the Queen dies around the time of the wedding so that it's called off.

    Anyone ever been to Morrocco? I've been invited to a u21 tournament as a scout and the company will pay everything. It's gathered my interest.

    Been to Marrakech. Where are you going?

    Think by day it's shown how we really need to stick to natural refereeing decisions. So far I've been spot on about VAR. just adds to the controversy, not remove it.

    Not always spot on considering its rectified some decisions that the referee missed. 

    For example the handball by Robbie Cornthwaite today was not originally given but what was missed by referee was seen by VAR. The correct outcome and decision was ultimately made. You can't just let teams be on the end of wrong refereeing decisions when there are things in place to correct it.

    I don't watch the game. And the purple pricks win 3-1 away to Cahill's Melbourne Shitty. Heard the red card massively helped us as did Keogh coming off early (he's terrible). 

    Kenny Lowe lives on :(

    Thought the red card was harsh. Was a penalty but red was too much. Malik has only gone to block the shot and momentum carried him in to Italiano. 

    Having said that, Italiano looks like quite a handy youngster for you. 

  7. weekend starts in a couple of hours for me when I go to the Cotswolds with the family. Anyone ever been? Need a pub lunch on the Sunday afternoon so any recommendations welcome.

    Did you watch it all? Adelaide's equaliser was a cracker. Thoughts on the red card?

    Yeah. Great goal from them. Always thought Sydney would run out winners though. 

    I think that was fair. Can understand the heat of the moment in wanting the ball back but no need to put your hands on the ball boy.

    Girlfriend has the cold from hell and I’m on a two day course away from home Tuesday. Giving thought whether I might have to bail out the course if she doesn’t improve. Timing is shit but at 32 weeks pregnant, got to be careful.

    given she's pregnant, it's worth bailing out the course and i'm sure your employer would understand.

    Didn't even know there was a game on. Thursday night. Mad.

    Presumably helping out Adelaide giving them one extra day to rest before FFA Cup next Tuesday. 

    Guessing Sydney didn't get that luxury maybe cos of how many international players they have in their side (do they have that many involved?)
