Painful for Smith. Gone from 2nd to 15th in the rankings at the moment. Will probably drop to 20-24th by the end of the tournament.

Preston too. That was what “proud” referred to.

Potential of doing multiple games in a day like in Qatar.

They do but not when 15(ish) stadiums are needed due there being 48 teams. The original bid highlighted it as an issue.

It’ll be January/February 34 or 35. They originally planned for it to be November/December 34 but Ramadan is pretty much exactly the same time as the Qatar dates which makes it unworkable. Having it in our winter should never be a factor in deciding a host. For example if Argentina, Paraguay and...

Australia only have three suitable stadiums over the 40,000 seat threshold. Nothing to say they can't build more. Russia, Qatar, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Germany and France all did that and Saudi are already building theirs now (almost like they knew isn't it!) but with the...

Lost yesterday but a few decent performances. Cian Tyler was outstanding. Didn’t look like someone in their second game back after such a bad time with injury. Dausch created a few chances and was a tad unlucky in front of goal.

Bob Bryar from My Chemical Romance. Found in his house a few weeks after he passed away.

Has Gray gone?

As others have said I’d head to the Family Zone before the game. Pat and her team are diamonds. Also worth heading to the FZ to sit too regardless of where your tickets are. It’s never full so you should be ok. Worst case you might have to move a few mins in.

Had a 500X. Traded that in for a Yaris Cross Hybrid. On our second one as they contacted us about 2 months in offering us another new one for 8 months after that. Decent MPG. One big issue we’ve had is the battery. Go away for a week and it doesn’t start! It’s a known fault but Listers are...

He had one good surge forward but nothing else aside from that to write home about. I think it was his first game so unfair to judge him based on it. Understandable that he's not up to speed. He's been bought in for the 21s hasn't he so I guess he'll play at that level for a while before moving...

One of the best refs around. He was very good in our play off semi. It now appears he’s also a top bloke too.

Staggered by this. He’s made some odd decisions but this one makes no sense at all unless there’s something big behind the scenes or there’s another manager becoming available. Unless Corberan, Edwards, Carrick or Rhol are on their way there’s no one in our league that would have a chance of...

It’s daddy day care for a week or so. Wife’s in the Maldives with her mate. Took 35 hours door to door. Not my sort of thing. Not enough going on. Too relaxing! When she gets back I’m off to Greece a few hours later. Like passing ships.

When Gray finally leaves I’m certain it won’t be for long.

Great to see. From Rugby School and Bablake.

Can’t see him going there. No Champions League for this season and almost certainly for the next one too.

Dorival averages about 6 months in each job he takes (he’s had 26 of them!) and has been the Brazil manager since January. I can see Pep taking that on for a year from next Summer.

It was clear he had talent. As you said he just played in the wrong position. One of a few that have suffered recently due to that.
