So? You want the game to move on, or not? This is humanity, accept it, warts and all. The rules are the rules, get on with it and take the luck as it comes.

Where was this campaign to get the rules changed yesterday then? It wasn't even an issue yesterday but now there's a clamour to alter the rules because Gyan missed the pen. Ridiculous.

Keep it as it is. A red card and a pen is about as harsh as it gets. Normally, the attacking team wouls core the goal and nothing would be said, just so happens that Uruguay got away with it and suddenly everyone's up in arms wanting to change the rules and award penalty goals?? Nah.

He did what he had to do. Aye, it's a bit sly but he got sent off and Ghana had the chance to win it. It's not Suarez's fault Gyan skied it, is it?

He did what he had to do to give his team a chance. Any professional would have done the same imo.

He meant 'dinked' but he's a stupid cunt and said 'dribbled'.

Kingson is getting nowhere near any of these tbh

Wouldn't have played for free though would he? That's our problem, we've got zero to spend. Absolute zero. Probably get pelters for this but; I simply dont subscribe to that view. That is entirely your prerogative. We'll see come Sept 1st.

Would like to see Ghana win tonight but I quite like Uruguay too. As long as Argentina wallop the krauts tomorrow I'll be well chuffed with whoever wins tbh.

Harper, because he's so loyal.

I always look forward to the new season but I'm under no illusion that we're going to be in a relegation scrap from the first whistle. We'll struggle badly unfortunately.

Dreadful shirt but I wouldn't have bought it anyway. Bit fucked off with Puma for being lazy but thousands will buy it regardless. Hey ho...

Finishing 4th is an absolute bare minimum for Liverpool this season. They're miles away from Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal - City will spend big and Spurs will be even better next year too. There is every chance they could finish behind all of that lot and scrape 6th and even then, Villa and Everton will be there or thereabouts too. He could well turn it around if he was to be given enough time but he hasn't got a season or two to get it right, they need top 4 right now. Just too much work to do in too short a period of time imo.

£7m for a shit, injury prone, 31 year old CH with only a year left on his contract has got to be poor bit of business.

Great question! Knives start at the elbow and wheels below the knee joint. Definitely. I'll have the knives then please.

Do the knives flex like your elbow or are they just two big fuck off swords attached from your shoulders?

Club before country, every day of the week.

Absolutely barmy that some folk are keen to bin Fabio Capello whilst touting David Beckham as his replacement. That, ladies and gentlemen, is complete insanity. 100% batshit crazy.

Get in, the parky kiss of death!

This is what really irks me. "Being given a chance" nowdays seems to be in the form of being given a 2nd half against someone in a friendly. Give the likes of Bent, Walcott, Johnson, and in time Rodwell, Wilshere etc a proper chance to grow into the team. Let's use the Euro 2012 qualifiers to build up a squad; nurture those young'uns and get rid of those who simply don't offer much anymore towards an energetic and cohesive England team. Couldn't agree more. Use this failure as a catslyst for getting shot of the dead wood hanging in and around the squad. Get shot of he ones who aren't good enough. Get shot of the ones who are too old. The likes of Heskey, Upson, Warnock, Carrick, Beckham, SWP, Carragher, Barry, Glen Johnson, James, Green should be binned asap. Bar Carragher and SWP I don't agree - you can't decide to get rid of a dozen players just like that. However, I agree that pretty much all of them, maybe with the exception of Carrick, need phasing out by the time the Euros come along. I'd bin the lot of them. They're not up to it. Choose an entirely new squad and stick with them and mould them together as a unit. No time like the present to start building for the next World Cup and none of that lot should be near the squad in 2014. Iron fist is needed Pilko, not the velvet glove.

Gary Cahill, Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott, Joe Hart and Jagielka for a start. Not just for a couple of friendlies either - pick them and stick with them for 10 games or so.

A lot of the hype is market faceted, England is a brand now, the hype is manufactured to sell stuff and build interest...I honestly think the people behind it all the fa and the media and all the rest don't really give a fuck how we do at the actual tournament. The fact we're bidding to hold 2018 hasn't helped either. Everything is being done for a reason and that reason has fuck all to do with winning this tournament.
