Cloneball. Have to say, I'm bored already.

You act like it magically stops happening in the championship.

I know most pro footballers are not amongst the best educated people in the world but this is basic behaviour, have some respect for yourself. Then again many of them are loaded and don’t care.

I am really looking forward to City back in the Prem, but I fear we will see more of this crap again this season.

Yeah I hate all the playacting etc as well, and the least said about Pepe the better. Someone made a good point of he's got kids, how embarrassed would you be to have your kid see you doing that?! And the Panama wrestling was ridiculous, good to see it punished though and hopefully more refereeing like that will begin to stamp it out, they should start doling out punishments after the game for blatant diving too. Like a 1 match ban for Pepe, no appeal, just straight off the bat.

Maybe I find it easier than you to put that stuff aside and enjoy the good bits though. I hope you stick with it, it's a shame for the behaviour of a few dickheads to ruin what overall is a great tournament for you

That’s the problem, it’s filtering down the longer the powers that be let it go on. I watch a lot of Welsh League football and it’s even creeping in there. Can’t be doing with it.

More than anything I just get angry with it all, which I shouldn’t and I don’t like. I’m better off going for a walk in the sun 🌞. I’ll prob stick to games where I think less of this will go on and see what happens.

Some great games going on....

Listened on the radio on the way home from work, fair play, I’ve missed an entertaining one there. VAR doing its job and the underdog sneaking it at the end.

Have your thoughts now changed A Quiet Monkfish?
