hi,
it's being widely, reported the half time show at today's WC
final is likely to extend to 30 minutes. performers include
madonna, shakira, justin beiber and chris martin/coldplay.
thoughts? (including players and officials muscular well-being
after being used to just 15 minutes max)?
regards,
gnr

Just part of the debased practice of turning football into
showbiz which has been a feature of this World Cup under
Infantino's craven and dreadful mismanagement.

Plus trying to copycat the Super Bowl half time rock concert.
I shan’t be watching this final… particularly with a certain
president presenting the trophy.
FIFA and its reputation is firmly in the sewerage system with
all the political interference in my opinion.

If I hadn’t already become a non-watcher on principle, I would
become a non-watcher on principle after this latest piece of
c**p.

Less than a month until proper EFL action starts again.
Or just over a month for the Premier League…

Yes and no, gooner. After the telly packed up I did manage to
see some games at friends or down the pub, if they kicked off
before the witching hour.
The ‘on principle’ bit kicked in with news of The Rump’s
disgraceful intervention over that red card. (I would quote it
with a nice blue background here like everyone else does, but I
have no idea how that’s done!).
So I haven’t seen a ball kicked since 6th July. Enjoy the
Final!

True, TA_Ref, but for non-league lovers like me, “proper” action
starts this coming weekend. On the agenda is Eastern Counties
League Division 1 South, May & Baker v newly-promoted Hertford
Heath.
Back to reality. Back to sanity!

hi,
look to the right hand side of the message you wish to quote and
press the button marked 'quote' - it's really that easy - then
just type your message/reply etc below the end of the quote
[/quote] and if you want to see how it looks before you post it,
press 'preview'
hope this helps

Thanks very much, gooner. I shall see if this works - although
at this moment, I’m not seeing any blue background on your last
message that I’m quoting. But maybe it will appear like magic
when I press ‘Post’. We shall see. . .
I’ve noticed that people often quote just a bit of a previous
post, but I can’t see how that is done. It seems to be ‘all or
nothing’. When you’ve got a moment, would you be good enough to
advise me please. Sorry to be a pest but I really am a
technological idiot. I’m well known in my circles for it!
(Which is why it took me so long to actually work out how to
become a member!).
Hope you’re enjoying the Final - but I must say several
neighbours are watching it, with their windows open, and I can’t
say I’ve heard much in the way of excitement yet!
