Pleased for the Trees, think of them as a quote-unquote "proper" top flight side, but man, two stonewallers from where I was sitting.

Town fans doubtless massively pissed off right now.

 

[Uppercut]

If he didn’t see it he didn’t see it, but booking the Huddersfield player for diving is just being a ****.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I think he saw the first one but judged that the forward manufactured the contact. The second one he didn't see.

 

[sledger]

A forward manufacturing contact doesn't stop it from being a foul though (I don't think it does anyway)

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It's not a foul if the attacker dangles his leg into the defender and throws himself over.

 

[GIMH]

First one you can debate but the second was stone wall. In a non-VAR match it’s entirely forgivable given the angle Moss had. Why wasn’t it looked at?

 

[sledger]

It's not a foul if the attacker dangles his leg into the defender and throws himself over.

Agreed. If I see anyone doing this I'll let you know immediately.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Agreed. If I see anyone doing this I'll let you know immediately.

Inform Jon Moss first.

 

[sledger]

Inform Jon Moss first.

No. I like you more than him.

Awfully sad news about Andy Goram. Cancer is a bitch. He was some keeper, best Scottish one I have seen.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ugh. Poor guy. He looks utterly hellish in recent pics.

He was a very decent cricketer too, by all accounts. Played for Scotland and has his own cricinfo profile:

Thoughts and prayers @Red_Ink_Squid

 

[sledger]

Hoping for a customary Scottish goalkeeping howler tonight

 

[sledger]

Ah Scotland, never change

 

[Furball]

Proud of the lads for boycotting Qatar.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Free transfer for the Pog.

I have to admit to having very close to zero interest in the Nations League internationals.
But England’s game in Hungary behind closed doors with a crowd of 36,000 is a nice headline.

Same thing happened to Rangers in the Europa League. Sparta Prague were supposed to play behind closed doors due to previous racist chanting, which apparently didn't extend to 10,000 schoolkids who promptly racially abused Glen Kamara.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I didn't see any of the England game against Hungary, but with a crowd full of 12 year old racists and the winning goal a joke penalty it sounds like ideal prep for the World Cup.
