The list of referees was drawn up in Summer 2016 and the refs on the list have been getting special training. When Clattenberg left for Saudi, the FA asked to replace him but were told that it was too late. So it's not to do with the ability of English refs.

I'm always a bit suspicious of this sort of assertion. Surely if lard and beer are your two main food groups and you have a BMI of 40 then you are going to drop down dead much earlier than someone who lives off raw veg and water. And eventually even the whippets will get old, get diseases and...

Oh, the irony...

So Alan Pardew is back in the frame - only missing an S. Edit HKFC beat me to it with the extra info that his middle name is Scott. Nailed on surely.

But you would be more British than both of them - is that correct?

That's not how dual citizenship works. I have dual citzenship and am completely British as well as being completely something else.

Yes, but the referee had already decided that the ball wasn't moving so all that VAR did was to stop the celebration, waste a bit of time and then start the celebration again. It took alot of the fun and spontaneity out of the goal and added nothing.

Great article here about Sol Campbell and his impressive self belief...

:ffsparr:

I was just about to post that I expect AZ Gull knows the answer...

The irony of this is exquisite - "we must leave the EU so that as a great trading nation we can compete across the globe without the shackles of the EU holding us back." to "It's outrageous that companies from other countries are allowed to compete with British stalwarts."

No. Not Greer.

And I mean playing against England whilst playing for Brighton so Maty Ryan doesn't count.

Who was the last Brighton player to play against England?
