This is my new blog about all things sports.
Warning to any North American readers expecting any of your sports to be featured. They will not. I do not watch Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey or American Football.
I am a huge sports fan though. The most important being football, or soccer to those in North America, in particular the team I have supported since I was a boy. Huddersfield Town.

It has been confirmed that VAR will not be used to rule on goalkeepers mving off their line to save a penalty. Common sense reigns thankfully. Bernard I see that your first match for this season is at home to Derby. Interesting start. Should get a good match. I wonder who will be in charge of Derby when you meet. Reply #322.

VAR needs some work at the World Cup. Scotland got the short end of that one. USA gets by Sweden 2-0, they both move into the Knockout Round. Reply #323. Jun 20 19, 10:33 PM |

I watched the under 21 game Romania against England. England lost but played fairly well. Reply #324. Jun 21 19, 12:49 PM |

Going to have England v Cameroon on TV but a non football friend coming around for a cup of tea at 5pm so will probably only get to watch 30 mins. Reply #326. Jun 23 19, 9:07 AM |

I am leery putting scores in my posts, thinking that people are DVRing the games to watch as if they were live. Reply #328. Jun 23 19, 2:02 PM |

The behaviour of the Cameroon team left a lot to be desired, kicking, spitting, pushing and almost deciding to walk off when a VAR result did not go their way. The ref seemed to lose control of the match a few times also. Anyway England now face Norway on Thursday. Reply #330. Jun 24 19, 6:31 AM |

IMO opinion the sooner VAR is given the red card, the better.......creates more problems than it solves I'd say. Reply #331. Jun 24 19, 7:57 AM |

I am not anti VAR but it is in the end still down to human decisions from the screenings. I am afraid it is here to stay Ray. By the way Ruby and Pepper are doing fine. They will never really like each other but are happy co exist mostly amicably. Reply #332. Jun 24 19, 9:25 AM |

"Hrmph......don't hold with it..............in the GOOD old days.........." !! Firmly in grumpy old man mode! Lol Might be here to stay, but we "dinosaurs" still don't LIKE it! :( Yes, most cats in a multi-cat household co-exists without ever becoming "best buddies", Kelda and Leo are exactly the same as your pair.

In my opinion, that wasn't soccer being played today by Spain, that was football, American football. They tackled the person before they went for the ball, particularly Alex Morgan. To say that Spain played physically today, is a huge understatement. Reply #334. Jun 24 19, 12:04 PM |

17 fouls called on Spain, 1 yellow card booking, should have been more. 5 fouls called on the USA, 0 yellow cards Reply #339. Jun 24 19, 3:13 PM |
