Is there some football competition about to start?!🤔🥱🤣🤔🥱🤣

It started yesterday. Unless competitions don't start until England are involved?

VAR is awful for fans, absolutely kills the game. You can't celebrate a goal until the bureaucrats have humphed and hawed and got their wee measuring tapes out. Mistakes happen, it's a game not an engineering project.

I think they should do it like tennis or cricket - team is allowed a very limited number of VAR appeals, say 2/ game. One used, they're done. Carabao Cup was miles better without it.

I had this in the 1970's.

I spent hours Airfix enamel painting new strips on the (think it was 8) teams I bought. I even had an 8 team 5-a-side World Cup finals when the real thing was on in 1974. After that ended I painted Division 1, plus Blackburn Rovers strips on the teams. I even painted long hair and beards on the players to keep up with 70's fashion.

me too, the diving goalie on a stick was genius.

No.
There is a competition about........
Gay rights
Black/white rights
Migrant workers rights
(add your own 'rights' here)
Football seems to have got lost somewhere.

Is the wrong answer... see @vickster above who answered correctly.

Maybe......but THIS IS A FOOTBALL COMPETITION

 

[vickster]

Maybe......but THIS IS A FOOTBALL COMPETITION

In a country with a very poor record on these matters

The football is still happening for you to watch if you want to ignore the rest

you are correct....i watched the grand prix in Abu Dhabi at the weekend. not a single comment about the issues raised above during the airing of said grand prix.

Strongly disagree. This is a football competition and these "rights" arguments are clouding it.

its funny isnt it....other sports are played in these countries and nothing is said. Mclroy unhappy about the liv golf series, but happy to play the season end DP tour event in Dubai and win the Millions in prize money.

Hamilton happy to race his Maclaren Mercedes there every season.....

Football clubs go there on warm weather training, nothing said. Many people go there on holidays and are happy to turn a blind eye to who built the hotels, beaches, restaurants, casino's etc etc etc

But hey...... dont let the world cup go there, thats wrong. So many double standards, its unbelievable Jeff

But its becoming arse about face eg I put the sports news prog on earlier. Hardly a mention of the football, it was ALL about the arm bands etc.
