The Barrow vs Carlisle game was delayed for over 15 minutes.

Throwing fireworks is stupid, throwing fireworks during a football match is even more so.

Thankfully the low attendances at Pizza Trophy matches mean that they will end up being identified and banned.

Update:

Carlisle are out of the Pizza Trophy, but it is only the Pizza Trophy. There are more important competitions to be focusing on, ones where fans watch the games.

Good! I’m glad they arrested someone. What a dumbass.

I’m thrilled with it, personally. Canada is in on merit for the first time in a long time.

Last time we didn’t score a goal but I think we will acquit ourselves better this time around. :slight_smile:

So I’m watching the football game and being driven to distraction by the Cardinals helmets.


These things are glorious! The red cardinal on the black background, the black background with red metal flecks…I can hardly take my eyes off them, lol.

A bunch of people didn’t do their job properly.

The thought occurs that all what greasing the poles would bring about was bound to be lots and lots of “Here, hold my beer!” moments.

In the same group as Ireland! You are the top seeds in the group, I think Oz might be next and as hosts you usually think they get a home bounce, so you should be pretty likely to qualify for the knockouts. Once you’re there luck of the draw and how the day goes mean you can get anywhere.

No, we’re in Group F with Belgium, Morocco, and Croatia. I think we may be the lowest seed in the group. But we’re there and ready to give it a shot. :slight_smile:

ETA: Wait a minute, Qatar is the host. Are we talking about the same world cup?

No! I wasn’t talking about the men’s. I’m pretending that isn’t happening.

Yeah, you’re in trouble in that group. Better hope for an implosion from one of the big teams.

Qatar is the Men’s World Cup, Aus/NZ is the Women’s World Cup next year.

France is the next host of both of the Men’s Rugby World Cups and the Women’s Rugby League World Cup, while England is the next host of the Women’s Rugby World Cup (Rugby Union). India is the next host of the Men’s and the Women’s Cricket World Cup. South Africa are the hosts of the Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup, while Australia are the hosts of the Men’s T20 World Cup that is happening right now.

I think that’s most of them. Pick the one that is right.
