Comes under the what did he physically do to miss that. Easier to score never more apt

El Rojo didn't write that don't know what's wrong with my quoting and pasting

Why was Leon osman on our match for five live . I had a road trip and had to listen to his biased rubbish all afternoon. Like wtf is his connection to liverpoool or Brentford. As an example twice he said this Brentford had best chance of first half they will be kicking themselves . Ffs we scored one and Darwin had two in the net. I can honestly say it was surreal. Then he said some shote about only being at anfield cause he didn't want to tile the house today .Jesus.

When Paisley is defending your position you surely know you are in the minority ?

Brilliant . So to all those who think Starmer is this or that or the other the alternative to not getting these out of power is possibly a future leader who believes homelessness is a lifestyle choice. Don't know why this has effected me so much I am fully cognisant of them and their thoughts ref the rest of the population . I suppose never in my lifetime would I have thought commentary like this would be seen as a vote winner . It shows just how far the empathy in our society has plugged the depths . We are no longer a society as per the word itself.

MInimise Sunak ? They have just admitted bombing a refugee camp in fact a camp they told people to move to for their own safety . 50 civilians dead but they got a top buck cat Hamas commander . also look at he detail coming out of the covid enquiry . They will all be posturing at the remembrance Sunday at the cenotaph lauding all the old surviving soldiers yet they thought covid was a way to deal with the old people while letting the young get on with getting business up and running again. No surprise but still shocking.

Theoretically yes but unfortunately a large percentage of the population not one bit interested in innocent civilians being butchered. They more interested in their pension funds and shares and price of crude oil escalating due to a protracted Israeli campaign or even better a war with Iran. There is a demographic that delivered Brexit and they 50 odd something % of the voting public that's a lot of bigoted, retired and disaffected people . This skirmish in the Middle East just another reason for the left leaning BBC to elongate news bulletins when Homes under the Hammer is scheduled .

And the opposition from Labour would achieve what exactly ? Everyone here losing their shit about Starmer it's the Conservatives and Sunak in power . Now if Starmer was in power and not espousing or delivering on Labour values I could get it no problem . Let's just call Starmer out , get the right wing press on the Labour in disarray/Labour supports Jewish child butchers train lose the next election and wallow in our own self righteousness for another 4 years. It's a no win situation politically and on the ground in Gaza. Everyone knows a ceasefire is what is required not one western party in power has called for it . Yeah its all Starmers fault .

He is gonna be another Drogba and his highlight reels will be that full the multitude of chances he misses/skews/gerts saved will dissappear like tears in the rain . He gonna be a true superstar . Never going to be as instinctive or clinical like Robbie or Owen . You know what he could be as good as Torres when all said and done . Now we have some midfielders occupying opposition midfielder and defenders thoughts he gonna run amuck. We were so easy to play against last year it was cringe . Different team this year same Darwin but more goals from big man .

When was the last time we saw driving runs from midfield like this ? Granted opposition poor ish but lovely to watch . Silky

Is right. Might be kiss of death but I think Virgil getting back to near. 90% of the colossus he was before that assault.

Players totally not to blame. Borthwick and the coaching . I indicated the players were good enough but to be so one dimensional and the back line basically used to run and chase ( which they did brilliantly) every single possession was criminal . Fear of losing by trying/allowing something different overtook wanting to win the game . Reflect on the the couple of dinks over the top the NZ about half attempted in 1st 15 mins which basically won them the match against Ireland . This is not on Farrell he is only executing what he is being told to do. Effective yes but with 7 for a try and 3 for penalties teams chasing the game have a chance . It’s a missed opportunity and for the non rugby playing supporters to not see how good the English back line is baffles me. As I said before job done by Borthwick securing his contract. Let’s not forget on paper Eng should be in the top 3 teams in the world with the players they have Jones and Borthwick have them where they are at. They are not plucky losers here they have the talent to win matches like last night simple as.

Reminiscing about the knob mate who came to the strip clubs in Southend "not interested in strippers just going for a pint" and at end of night had head and face smeared in UHT cream dusted with a bit of stripper glitter but had been nowhere near the stage mind. Yeah right you tosser. Thanks for the memories.

Bound to happen . Cannot remember a government con or lab that has delivered so little of their promised manifesto . Delivered to their friends ,backers and as usual relatives though. If they had not been such a bunch of entitled imbeciles the covid response in terms of vaccine roll out could have swung it for them . Rightly or wrongly we are out of Europe with zero tangible benefits . I was against Brexit myself but I was pretty sure there would have been some upside . Nothing .

We need to understand that the majority of the electorate in GB is not left leaning Starmer has to get into government . Kinnock, Corbyn couldn't get in you have to prortray a Conservative light to even be in with a chance and even at that the Conservatives need to be I disarray. This is happening and there will be a labour government . So I am at the stage now even if Starmers government is a carbon copy of a Conservative one at least there will be some serious, non corrupt , politicians governing. Williamson a Lord or a sir , Snapps a minister , an infant appointed to the Lords. They have infected every aspect of our governance with ineptitude and corruption . Honestly it will be a relief when Labour is elected. Lastly I not raking shit up for the sake of it but just shining a light on Starmers cautiousness. If corbyn was still leader they would be leading in the polls with what has happened in last 10 days corbyn would have made his feelings/stance perfectly and rightly clear. You know what ? the press would have sensed their moment and the headlines would have been horrific . Much as I admire the man's principles and humanity you aren't changing anything and I mean nothing while in opposition . We all need to put our principles to one side , unite even for a short period of time , get these shits out and then fight our ideological battles. John Smith sadly dying was the biggest disaster to hit the Labour Party in my generation . We could have been looking at 15 years of proper labour governance rather than having to veer towards new Labour.

NZ not winning the World Cup. Their coverage for irelands tries was abysmal. Real opportunity missed for ireland just not good enough and NZ worthy winners . 20 mins against 14 men should have sealed the deal . Farrell and his team culpable in not subbing Porter when Barnes had it in his head he was driving in at the scrum . Porter buck stupid to not realise the AB prop was letting him do it because they got penalty after penalty . Frustrating to watch . Ireland could easily have won the match however in this instance they didn't deserve to. SA or France will take NZ out by the root.

I get why some fans not fussed on the signing of Gravenberch but in my best Kevin Keegan rant voice I love I really love having a player like that in the squad . Maybe a bit of a luxury but this is the entertainment business just live the way he plays . Someone said it in the match tread Dom may well be a sexy footballer but Ryan playing sexy football . Liking what I am seeing from everyone absolutely made up for that young CB with the unpronounceable name.

Not sure about causeway with your ankle there is a bus that will take you down . But a definite must do and see . As is the Bushmills distillery tour especially if bottling plant is running that particular day. You will see the Royal golf course on your way to Portrush even if you not playing it a bit like walking around Turnberry kinda magical place (for a golfer) . Good pint of Guinness in Harbour Bar wouldn't recommend anywhere to eat in Port can be ropey even at busy times of year . Personally like going to Ballintoy harbour and if I was pushed I would eat in Bothy (NB owned by Ashers) and for a sit down meal definitely recommend Tartine in Bushmills as the best value about. Dark Hedges up the road and if you are into motor bike road racing Ballymoney close and that's where Joeys bar is full of memorabilia. All the above within 10 miles of each other . Then get back to Belfast it's an absolutely hopping place you cannot have a bad or disappointing night out .

He's an international player he will adapt and find his level . Already him being available to play I a big upgrade on last year . I don't get it fans on here waited and waited for Kieta to show some signs of being a footballer and we calling Endo a panic buy after 2 to 3 games ? Pretty sure he not gonna be anywhere near peak Fab 100% sure he going to be better than 2022-2023 Fab so an upgrade all round .

Agree with summary however for a rugby novice / neutral it would have seemed there were loads of mistakes from both sides last night so as a spectacle I doubt it hit rhe mark . For those who know or have experienced it the sheer physicality from both sides caused most of the errors my chest sore from holding my breath. Just wonder I this takes a lot out of Ireland for the Scotland match ? On the evidence of last night probably would habe liked to have played them first and took a few weeks to get over it . England game same old tactics until it was blatantly obvious the talent in the back line . Really should have been racking up 3 figure score but maybe just maybe this will force the coaches hand and they are left with no option but to play an expansive game . Hope Fiji and Wales do the business today.

Bit that pissing me off is how shattered some off the back up guys were . Its their job surely while your waiting to get a 1st team spot or waiting for a transfer you arnt lying on your arse . If it was me I would be the fittest substitute at the club . If ýou don't have the top tier talent least you can be is fit enough to last 90 mins when called on . Injuries apart I would not have expected 20 somethings to look like that after 60 mins .

Don't support England but have soft spot for them . England have one of the above average to good backlines in the competition with a forward pack that can secure them ball. The tactics they are employing are criminal and disheartening . Could understand if there was an issue but this is all down to the coaching set up . This is damage limitation ,due to the draw they will get to quarters and will have a go at whoever they meet there . This is anti Rugby designed to meet a corporate KPI of getting to quarter finals as a minimum ( to save their jobs and massive contracts). Couldn't watch it embarrassing.

Like the bit were he picks up the shrek bird at the club , cuts to a few other scenes , then back to him next morning green paint all over his face and yer woman in background still green apart from her cleavage that is completely white . Class. But in terms of grade a nutters he is up there .

Tony Yeboah Berbatov Worthington Like a bit of "mercurial " talent I do . Loved big Jan and was always gutted when he wasn't in the team . Absolutely magnificent footballer and for someone who is on the chubby side myself someone I could related to minus the footy talent.

I can only assume that there is a genuine fear that those who voted for Brexit who have now received nothing for their Brexit vote may double down and vote Conservative again . Even though all the evidence (to a sane person) would indicate the Conservatives are incapable .
