A wild Bebé appears (now this really is some ropy keeping)

The comms team are bordering on "foot like a traction engine"

In reality....the fook are you doing keeper, you have probably dealt with back passes with more power in than that

 

[Alan]

Bloody fucking copy protection. Wasn't the internet supposed to rid of us "not available in your location"??

EDIT: Wild swerve on the FK but it almost looks like it grazes the keeper's nose as it goes through his arms. Totally bizarre.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Cape Verde have won that group.

If it weren't a stupid 24 team tournament (they don't work, it's basic maths) then one of Egypt or Ghana would definitely be going out. As it is they both probably need to win their final game.

Cape Verde's third was from 'distance' too.

I would say it was shit goalkeeping, but....

That isn't what you said last time. You insinuated that the keeper was shit because of the continent he was from.

Best not comment on Onana's performance so far for Cameroon!

 

[Lupo]

The fans are great, takes me right back to World Cup 2022

Onana is a terrible keeper but neither goal is his fault really.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Cameroon are in a world of trouble if Guinea beat Gambia later.

Good news for Wolves though, Onana would play against us.

I want to know how bad this Turkish lad is if they begged Cameroon to let Onana stay for two weeks past the deadline!

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Ah guys, going back a few years, didn't we say more or less the same shit about Scottish Goalkeepers?
Nobody even raised an eyebrow...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It was commonplace to talk about "the Paki shop" 30 years ago but I wouldn't do that now.

 

[Tony Towner]

Is it time?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I just press this button on my keyboard at 8am every day to be safe, as you never know when I'll repeat jokes from Roy "good stocking filler" Chubby Brown otherwise.

Can you pop down to Devon and have a talk with my Dad please.

Still 1980 in his head

I'm sure there'll come a point where I'm ludicrously outdated and say stuff that isn't on because it was fine before and why should I change...

But it ain't for now or any time soon. Or as I said the other week, I don't plan on ever saying "football was better in my day", no it wasn't, it was different. Don't confuse the two.

Ultimately we all have a choice and comedy in particular always moves at pace, you would never make Little Britain (horribly racist, let alone transphobic) now and it's less than 20 years old, if you make jokes that perpetuate stereotypes from even further back than that...well it's not a great look, especially if you aren't really old.
