[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

I had been wondering recently why Kepa was back in goal for Chelsea.

Well I think that game explained it

Thought you had to stay late at work because you watched the england game ?

Late I know, but was Ecuador’s win the first time the host nation has lost the opening game?

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

I believe it is yes

Yes

You really fear these @Martin Alvito

On their day they can play. Didn't need it today.

 

[Lineker]

My point is valid

Stop start stop start stop start

I think the point is u stop it at the same times you would add time on for, i.e. subs, injuries, goals.

We defo got rid of wee Davy too soon.

People like @davek bullied him out the club.

Klaassen deserved to be bullied.

We should make Goodison a Dutch-free zone given all the tat they sent.

Which wont be in sync with those watching on tv, and those in the stadium watching the game.

It's almost as if in your world the technology to synchronize two things over a distance of 100 yards does not exist.

So you want it changed because of technology? The refs barely can keep control of what’s going on already and now you want the ref stopping and starting time as he pleases?

As someone else said. What’s the difference the way it is now and has always been ? You get to 45 and a board is held up to display the added time. It’s basically the same.

Next you’ll be saying they should also stop their watch when it goes out for a throw. Where do you draw a line? Stop making officiating a simple game more complicated than it should be

Cooomooon Senegal

2-0 to VAR/Qatar

2-0 to VAR/Qatar

Senegal are almost even odds ahead of kickoff. Seems like easy money based on ability of these two sides. Still can’t bring myself to trust it.

They should easily win mate. But never doubt the power of money
