I just read an article that I think has been translated into English from another language. The headline is "Gaze At This World
Cup Venue's Temp Stands Which Will100% Kill Someone". :D :D

Where's everyone watching the England game on Monday? I'm tempted to go to the big screen bit at Station Hill

What's the set up with the big screen? Can any passer by watch or do you need to pay to get entry to the area?

If you arrive within 90 minutes of kick off it's between £3-£5 ... get there before and it's free

Can also rent deck chairs too

BBQ, Beers, burgers etc...

Lovely view of Garrard Street Car park too

I'd say I can't think of anything worse than watching an England game at the station but the Walkabout is indoors

As a general prediction I have had 2 world cup dreams so far which I am going with:

1 was that we get to the final and lose and the other was that there is a horrific plane crash in Russia with mass casualties, though I didn't work out of that was a team plane or a passenger plane

Sutekh Apparently linesmen have been instructed NOT to raise their flags for offside when the decision is very tight. Seems FIFA want play to be allowed to develop and if a goal is scored to let VAR make the decision.


Don't know whether to give the lineo the benefit of the doubt that his non-decision in this game was as a result of this directive, but it really wasn't that close a call

Pished off that this is the only game on the opening day. I guess it's to give them all he limelight, but c'mon, the first day should be 2-3 games. At the very least an evening game
