The Football.....

Absolutely. VAR is just wasting everyone's time (but keeping 5 FIFA officlals on a paid trip to Qatar?).

Officials are human - they make mistakes, just like the players. Let them make decisions and get on with the game.

(And stop whinging players crowding the refs while you're at it, in case I haven't already mentioned that ... )

theres 7 in the VAR room for each game

More generally, hand of God notwithstanding I can't remember a World Cup with so many terrible decisions. And all with the help of VAR.

Some great games though!

VAR would have allowed the Hand of God... 🤣

Shilton would probably have been sent off had we had VAR

Thinks back to the infamous early 70s Leeds Chelsea matches; would anyone still be on the pitch with VAR

its crazy.....and that decision last night as an ex goal keeper was mind boggling

Has there been as many as 7? Mostly been 4 or 5 so far. Maybe it's up to 7, depending on the size of the dogs?

And Sebastian Coates of Uruguay is also of Scottish stock.

We would pronounce as in coats but they pronounce as in co-art-ez.

I seem to remember a player years ago called Ralph Coates, had a comb over if I remember correctly.

That's pushing it! A Scottish granny, mibbes, but going 4 generations back?

Not even Levein would have been able to persuade anyone that he's got owt to do with Scotland.

I see Belgium getting tonked by Croatia shortly, they have been playing like Denmark, out of decent form, and some unrest in the team? .... a bit like the Netherlands a few years back.
So pleased for Australia, ranked 38, what an achievement.
So glad we are not in the Spain/Brazil half as I quite fancy us against France and Argentina.

Apologies, I really wasn't having a go.

It's just Scotland have often made tenuous claims about a players ancestry to claim them as 'ours'.
