Let’s hope for a jailbreak in the second half.

Hi is the fuck is that not handball?

Looked onside.

To be fair, it was a much closer call than the handball.

Flick ons are impossible to defend. It has been ever thus.

So far, Mexico has dominated the second half.

It’s a very deserved lead

I love this for him.

Well this is a twist.

Maybe I’m deluding myself, but I think this just means that UEFA now has to make a decision. Given that Textor has a deal to sell his stake in Palace (hopefully the FA can pull out its finger and approve Dick Penis as a “fit and proper person”) it seems to me the path of least resistance is to approve Palace.

The alternative is to promote Forest into the UEL. But if UEFA fears a backlash, Forest has little to stand on to sue for being denied a place in a tournament for which they didn’t qualify. Palace have 70 million reasons to sue for getting kicked out of a tournament for which they did qualify, for a conflict of interest that does not exist (and arguably never did).

Defending champ Lionesses faced, essentially, and early elimination game against the Netherlands. Another loss in the group would need them needing a combination of unexpected results in order to progress.

Still about 20 minutes to go, but England has taken the Dutch out behind the woodshed. 4-0 as I type, and England has started to pull its starters.

Shocked, not shocked.

£70 million lawsuit incoming.

Oh, and fuck John Textor.

I’m always dubious of these valuations, but didn’t realize that Crystal Palace was part of the third most valuable sports empire in the world.

I spent yesterday walking the practice round at Royal Portrush and will again tomorrow before attending Round 1. This course is utterly beautiful and looks so incredibly difficult that I cannot imagine any type of score in even the slightest of inclement weather, which seems to be the norm. The wind and rain kicks up and down, the terrain is so uneven and bounces so unpredictable, that the winner will surely be the luckiest best golfer.

Nice. Just remember to dress for four seasons in a day.

I left yesterday’s practice round somehow soaked, sunburnt, shivering and warm. Guinness helps a lot.

Good for what ails ya! Used to be prescribed to patients in the hospital to help them heal, something to do with it containing iron, but more likely it containing alcohol.

Giving blood one time (in the UK, my blood is poison to Americans, apparently), I disclosed that I had a massive hangover in case that was an issue for the donation. The doctor told me it’s not a problem and to go get a Guinness afterwards.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

Where’s Fletcher when you need him?
