Would have been a shot from the grave but not this time. The only one he got wrong out of 12 predictions

The reason the UK didnt get it was last time we hosted , we won it :whome:

Never underestimate the power of Germans to make English men cry like girls, if anywhere else but on the football pitch. Oh!, they got their revenge for '66 with Lampard's was-it-in-or-out off the crossbar (!)
Supporting England is an extremely emotionally draining experience, kinda on par with supporting India in cricket, Over paid, underperforming good for nothings, the lot of 'emLast edited by Double Edge; 03 Dec 10,, 14:20.

Ppl going on about video replays miss this point, never gonna happen.
My bet's on an extra pair of eyes goalside.

Didn't we have a nice long thread on alternative options during the World Farce a couple months ago?Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

No eazy peazy, those replays occur while the game's going on.
If you use them to base decisons on, the game's going to be stopped everytime someone takes a dive, pretty soon every other decison requires video replay evidence. Hey, if you can do it for this why not that and so on.
You will end up with an american style game that can be stopped at the drop of a hat for a promo.
Not happening :)

Yea i understand what you say , however it is the way to go , not just my opnion but lots of pundits and ex footballers are calling for this . In the case of was it a goal or not , tennis has a system where if the ball goes over the line , ya get a beep to say so , why not adopt that , the greatest game should be allowed to be flowing and 50 years ago it was , until massive wages came into it , megga bucks bizzness ,and the cheating , but anyway it (VIDS) will happen sooner or later IMHO and would i reckon only be used in a dodgy decision , in fact why not hav a qualified ref watching the game on tv , get instant playback and then radio the ref what the decision should be .;)Last edited by tankie; 03 Dec 10,, 20:04.
