Until that is ironed out, if it ever is, then it’s not working.

You only need to look at the decisions and time it’s taking to reach the decisions as evidence.

I completely agree, it is a good thing but the implementation everywhere is awful. It is designed to stop clear and obvious errors but is being used to look at every little aspect. It should just be obvious offsides (not 2 to 3cm, how can they tell exactly when the ball left the passer's foot!?), obvious handball, penalty decisions or really dangerous tackles that the ref has missed.

Any VAR check that takes more than 30 seconds is not a clear and obvious error, I would make it a maximum 1 minute and if no decision then on field decision stands.

I don't think klopp intended it that way, and the reporter himself didn't take it that way.

That said, klopp is undoubtedly a bit of an arse when things don't go his way, but most winners are I suppose.

As the old saying goes - Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.

i see Brentford and Brighton both looking into a partnership with Dundee United Dundee United in talks with 2 Premier League clubs as Hibs style investment in early stages (msn.com)

Scotland v Kazakhstan under 21’s, live on Scottish

7pm KO
Josh Doig captains the side. Scotland are sitting in 2nd place, 3 points behind Spain , and they are having a good campaign
The 9 group winners and the 3 best runners up qualify for the finals

https://www.youtube.com/live/UcIitHU...m7_pj4gZwR0BJf

2-0 Scotland, Doig double

3-0 Scotland, Tommy Conway of Bristol City

Welsh anthem is so good. Actually think Finland reasonable bet at 4 to 1

just two mins 1-0 wales, dreadful start for finland just dreadful




i predict wales v poland on tues

Bit random but was having a look at the footbal tonight and noticed a v.palsson playing right back for Iceland and realised it was the boy that played for us.

Had a wee wiki search looks like he’s had a decent enough career after us played at shalke and currently at Eupen in Belgium

Really don’t want Wales to qualify. Want all eyes on Scotland. Wales have had enough tournaments.

It’s our time.

I think Poland can take care of the current wales team in the final. And certainly hope they do.

Finland still in this 2-1 HT.

big advantage playing at home, though i don't watch Wales often the times i have done i've thought they carry a lot of luck

FT Georgia 2 Luxembourg 0

HT Greece 4 Kazakhstan 0

HT Bosnia-Herzegovina 0 Ukraine 0
HT Israel 1 Iceland 2

HT Poland 1 Estonia 0, Estonia down to ten after the 27th minute
HT Wales 2 Finland 1

Poland 2 Estonia 0

Wales 3 Finland 1


Friendly Portugal 3 Sweden 0

Italy v Venezuela- 9pm, that's an awfy late KO time

When do Wales and Poland play each other? Should be a good game.

Bosni-Herz 1 Ukraine 0, nice goal slight deflection i think.


VAR check completed 1-0

Bit sick of Ukraine as well.

World football darlings. Plus humped us then jammy wales (the Bale show) in Cardiff (again) stopped them.

On the plus side, Israel 1-2 down and hopefully nowhere near the Euros.

I have tickets for Slovakia vs the Path B winner in Düsseldorf. Would hate it to be Isreal there.

commentator just mentioned that game, OG putting wales through, another OG tonight, Ukraine do seem to have went off the boil a tad since hammering us


Poland 3 Estonia 0

Portugal 5 Sweden 1

Iceland winning 3-1 against Israel is quite impressive.

Deserved equaliser for Ukraine after 84 mins 1-1

Greece 5 Kazakhstan 0

Poland 5 Estonia 1
