Please keep this talk of football to a minimum. All the rough boys at school who bullied me liked it, and I could never join in. It there's much more I'll lock the thread.

Fucking Peterborough and that smug cunt Barry Fry.

Fucking Fleetwood and that skiving cunt Vardy.


In other news, Mahrez is fucking off to Liverpool for £49m

I hope that the wrath of God pours down on those cheating cunts at Rangers during the winter break and that a sinkhole opens up and swallows Ibrox, preferably while the team is training there.

After a bright start against the Tangerines we ended up with a goalless draw. We could have nicked it late on though.

We all ended up in this Blackpool bar called http://funnygirlsonline.co.uk/ which had some right dodgy looking women.

Their 4th choice behind O'Neill, Rowett, and Flores. What the fuck are they doing? The only place he did any good was Norwich in the Championship and that was five years ago now. They may as well have kept Sparky.

Good man, Celtic player.

[dannynomates]

How fascinating, I loathe the football as you know but Leicester have just beaten Fleetwood Town 2-0 in their FA Cup third round replay, and a piece of history has been made.

Kelechi Iheanacho became the first player to score a goal awarded by a video assistant referee in English football as Leicester beat Fleetwood in an FA Cup third-round replay.

Iheanacho opened the scoring - with a routine strike - from Islam Slimani's pass.

The big talking point of the game came when the former Manchester City striker initially had a goal disallowed for offside from Rihad Mahrez's through ball.

But referee Jonathan Moss liaised with video official Mike Jones, who told him Nathan Pond's trailing foot was keeping Iheanacho onside, and the goal was awarded 68 seconds after it hit the back of the net.

This is the third time the video assistant referee (VAR) has been used as a trial in English football, all this month, after Brighton v Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and Chelsea v Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.

The video referee was consulted in both those games, but never used to reverse a decision.

So 16 January 2018 and the first VAR decision becomes a landmark date for English football, like the first substitute to come on or the first game to be played under floodlights.

Moss had briefly spoken to the video official when Iheanacho had an earlier goal ruled out because the ball had crossed the byeline before Demarai Gray crossed it.

And he consulted him again after disallowing a second goal by the Nigerian for offside.

But this time Jones decided - correctly - that Pond was actually keeping him onside, a decision that was easily missed in real time by the officials.

Referee Moss would have had the choice to watch it again on a screen on the side of the pitch, had he wanted to - but he had the freedom to trust the video official.


Of course routemaster will no doubt be cock-a-hoop about all this, but I shall simply give him another warning if he gets too full of himself, such is my importance here.
