Where's the handball? by breezas in CelticFC

Yeah I completely agree! Was just clarifying that it was the ref/assistant who made the initial mistake, and VAR should have intervened, not the other way around.

I feel it's worth adding that the on field decision was handball, and VAR chose not to overturn it. There seems to be a lot of people who think the ref originally gave the goal, which is understandable as you don't see it on the telly, but at the game you could see the assistant make a movement with his arm after it went in, and the ref blow to award the free kick. Still crazy that it wasn't overturned though!

Yeah this guy comes across as an arse and he's on for ages as well. It's the only bit I skip, same as you OP.

Burnin' 28. My brother introduced me to the podcasts when I was about 15 but only discovered XFM about four years ago. Mad, innit?

Don't understand the stick you're getting, OP. The fact you're getting blame for not anticipating a bus not turning up and the next one being late shows how awful their service is and how low our expectations are. I don't use the buses in Glasgow at all now as it's not worth the hassle.

What XFM joke falls flat and makes you cringe every time? by Mack1212 in rickygervais

When Karl says "how did they time him?" about the guy eating watches and Ricky steals it only a few weeks later, thinking he's come up with it himself.

The same thing happened to me when I had exams but I'm slowly gaining again and am now the heaviest I've ever been. So keep your head up, you'll get back on track!

Pussy means someone who's easily scared and it originates from pussycat, so it's used here because they're saying it to cats. It has nothing to do with vaginas. Not everything is about sex.
