Success in football often comes down to who doesn’t make mistakes at the back. For all France’s pace on the break, it was their sheer solidity at the back which saw them through the World Cup. England reached the semi-final, with little more than a mid-table select, but they made remarkably few mistakes, and just as importantly, understood the importance of set-pieces – don’t give them away and exploit them when you get them.
Viewed through the prism of an educational World Cup, Jozo Simunovic’s chest-high Alashkert was worthy of a red card on the basis of sheer stupidity. It was an intolerable mistake, a relic of a former era.
That Uefa doubled his suspension to two game is no surprise. Perhaps they have a stupidity threshold.

CCB,
If you were deleted, I’m sure it wasn’t for something that you posted.
I would be inclined to think that you responded to a post that was deemed inappropriate by the moderator.
In which case, I think the rule is that any response to such a post is also deleted, a kind of collateral damage, if you like.
That way, all trace of the offending post is wiped, without a blemish on your reputation!
If it was that scoundrel BMCUW, then that would be a different matter!!

Delighted you got a turn with France (I bet the bams in 2016) still a bit gutted that Brazil got “cheated” against Belgium … stone wall penalty denied but I suppose as Celtic fans we should realise we don’t get them … Neil Lennon halved right in front of the Copeland road numbskulls :-)
NeymarCSC …. still the most talented player on show in Russia ??

Sorry to hear that. Keep yer family and yersel safe! The wildfires are a constant worry at this time of year.
Doing well around here, hot and humid is the pattern every day for the next few weeks. Unlikely to get below 95 F / 90% humidity. Like you, I retreat to the A/C hoose!

I’m not too good at the techy things, but there is a link on news now from Chris Sutton, saying that Brendan isn’t bringing the players in.
Has there ever been a Celtic manager, were it hasn’t ended in tears.
Dear, dear.
Looks like yon eejit was correct when he said, “neither Celtic nor its supporter’s will ever be free, till you get rid of the soul selling, old firm orientated, kid you on by skelping pub teams – PLC. ”
Hmmmmmm.
Life has called, later, Hail Hail.

Gave my wife 400 to use as a deposit for next year’s holiday.
