I don't believe it. I never thought I'd live long enough to see it again.

The 1966 WC was a few months before I was born, so this is - pretty incredibly - a first for me.

Yes me too. But playing Italy will be so tough. Very hard to call who the winner will be.

Indeed, but I doubt he'll get an apology for those asking for him to go after picking the team for the first gameMatt Mackenzie wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 7:25 pmMaybe, just maybe, Southgate has a bit more idea what he is doing than some give him credit for.

We played better than Denmark last night, so we deserved to win I thought

Well done England and well done to you Mark for your predictions. They were spot on again.MJMcCready wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 12:27 amYes me too. But playing Italy will be so tough. Very hard to call who the winner will be.
Looking forward to your Premier and Football League predictions in a couple of weeks time.
As you are probably aware, Blackpool won promotion back to the Championship via the play-offs. A couple of bookmaker websites are predicting them to go straight back down.
Can you predict Blackpool to avoid relegation?
Perhaps sometime in the future I could ask you for six numbers between 1 and 59.

Re: Euro 21
Shocking indeed. After all those months without spectators at football matches you'd think anybody lucky enough to have a ticket for last night would enjoy the game rather than smuggling in a laser to point in the face of an opposition player. Very dignified response from the Danish FA I thought, who don't want to take the matter any further.David Shepherd wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:54 pmShocked that someone shone a laser at Schmeichel'e eyes during the penalty,

Good post Kevin. Hopefully the idiot using laser is found and banned for life from attending matches

Agree Ian. So sad this can happen now in football. Hopefully he will be prosecuted as you stated.

Re: Euro 21
Who knows, with Blackpool? It brings back to mind that day in November 2000 when they got walloped 7-0 at Barnet, in what was then the Third Division. You'd have got long odds then on a combined bet for them to go up to the Second, and Barnet to drop to the Conference - but that's what happened at season's end!Simon Rogers wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 9:31 amAs you are probably aware, Blackpool won promotion back to the Championship via the play-offs.

Just to be clear, am I right that it would have affected him ( rather badly, I assume ) only had he looked in that direction, which fortunately he did not?David Shepherd wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 11:54 pmShocked that someone shone a laser at Schmeichel'e eyes during the penalty,

The vast majority of shop-bought laser pens will be relatively weak; meaning that exposure to the beam of such products would not result in an eye injury.
The website in 'Related Information' explains the different classes of lasers; classification based upon the power of the laser in question. There are no specific UK laws relating to laser pointers, however, the Health Protection Agency suggests that no laser pens more powerful than Class 2 be available for general sale, due to their potential to cause injury
