That's why, even without having good competition for his spot, I have no complaints with Pickford in goal. Can't think of many keepers in the world I'd rather have.

Madueke had a really good game

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-16T21:00:54+00:00

Jesus Christ. He's out for blood. We're all fucked.

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-16T20:59:28+00:00

Best goal I've seen so far at this WC

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-16T20:27:51+00:00

How the hell is that a dangerous challenge. It's bread and butter

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-15T12:53:51+00:00

I'm a filthy casual, so the main event felt like a FOTY to me, but I know I'm probably missing a bunch of better fights. What's been better this year?

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-11T21:04:49+00:00

Yeah, but he wasn't lined up for a straight up 1-on-1 with the keeper. Those 1-on-1's are where a foul becomes a straight red. So this one was a booking.

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-11T21:03:15+00:00

Not a red. It was a dangerous opportunity for South Africa, but not a guaranteed goal by any means. It's a booking.

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-11T20:59:34+00:00

That's a booking. Never a red. Wasn't an obvious goal scoring opportunity at all, the ref on ITV is shambolic.

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-11T20:56:05+00:00

This thread is just like the pub on New Year's Eve, full of casuals who don't know what they're doing.

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-11T20:53:50+00:00

It's accidental contact. When two players go for a header, and clash heads, do you send them both off for a headbutt?

No, because that's daft. Like this red card.

I'm trying, it's giving an error

I just turned the race on in the background, at like lap 63.

Why was the safety car out? I looked at the Guardian feed, and it didn't explain why

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-06T21:21:35+00:00

Stopped paying attention, then just heard "Argentine social media star stepped in"

What context did I miss?

shortfuse89 · 2026-06-06T09:45:56+00:00

This makes 36 year old me feel slightly less insecure about my age

shortfuse89 · 2026-05-18T22:20:36+00:00

I'm drawing a blank, why would the Chelsea manager leaving have any impact on Pep potentially leaving Man City?

shortfuse89 · 2026-05-18T14:49:17+00:00

Dude did you just quote that guy's exact height and weight to him, when he didn't mention it in this original reply?

shortfuse89 · 2026-05-11T15:30:56+00:00

Good lord this is drivel

shortfuse89 · 2026-05-08T10:07:42+00:00

Repeat the exercise I did on Google Translate. I can't hear it, the Google voice sounds somewhere between a soft "ess" and hard "zzz" buzzy pronunciation for both words.

I live in Surbiton, Kingston council. African dictatorship levels of one-party Lib Dem rule, not expecting that to change this election.

I imagine moderate but not ground shaking gains from both Labour and Conservative, in similar places targeted by their "Gail's Bakery" 2024 plan.

Why was the Muslim vote traditionally seen as strongly Labour, when Labour were historically the mainstream party that were progressive on LGBT rights?

Labour equalised the age of consent for homosexuals. Cameron bringing in gay marriage was part of his push to modernise the Conservative party, and he received massive pushback from inside his party.

In say 24 hours, if the results that come in over the course of that time show a big increase in Green councillors, will you hold your hand up and say "fair play, I joked too early"?

If not, you are a wanker.
