Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a very funny show
despite being AMerican, Robs in that

I'm surprised you don't know what Ryan Reynolds looks like he's quite a big movie star
But if Superheor or ropey action movies aren't your thing then maybe you might not

Oh and Congratulations to Liverpool , Premier league Champions

Although for Wales it looks like it's a swap with Cardiff being relegated
And also the mighty Leyton Orient don't get the credit for making Wrexhams promotion possible ( Many fingers crossed they make the play offs next week)

But the good thing for me, is that my Neice works at QPR and had been promised a VIP table for her family for QPR Wrexham if they got promoted
Hopefully her employers won't renege on that one. So I'm looking forward to that
And if Ryan Reynolds or Rob Mcilhenny fancy a selfie with me, then they wil have to ask nicely.

Well you are a TV star.

Superheor? I know one of them was Deadpool.

Reynolds also played the Green Lantern
But DC movies are generally bad so you and I are lucky we missed that one from what I hear

I'm hardly a red but the Trent lad has done them like an ungrateful kipper (if there is such a thing)
You have to give Slot credit for picking up a trophy first season. However unlike the covid win they can actually have a parade and they're having a massive one, which is expected to be attended by 1 million tourists
So the the lad could have left after that and let the close season dilute the story. Let's be honest him and his agent are pocketing money that would have been spent on his transfer.
But now he has made the story is about him and what to with him in the last games?
Option One
Let him go home three weeks early and sort the move out hassle free.?
Option Two
Play him amid mass booing and make your fan base look bitter and twisted?
Option Three
Leave him on the bench and get the boos but not the player?
Option Four
Take him off the bench in the last minute like you're feeding him to the wolves

Option Five
Drug him and prop him up on the bus for the parade and let him get slammed for not waving back to a handicapped kid.
Or perhaps someone knows a further option?
Whatever they choose he has made himself the story for the punters and the papers in what should be a happy run in and a f**k off parade for being winners.

Well done fto Leyton Orient making the play offs
They've had to put some form together to do that, hope they can carry that momentum to Wembley and beyond

Off to Wem-ber-ley tomorrow for the FA Vase and the FA Trophy finals. £10 a ticket. Bargain! That's £170 less than the All England Lawn Tennis Club wanted for a seat on #1 Court on the second Monday of Wimbledon.

It was £30 in the 80's
Does that equate?

40th anniversary documentary on BBC2 tonight about the Bradford ground fire that destroyed the wooden stand which resulted in 56 people being burnt to death - absolutely bloody awful and can't imagine the sheer terror those people, including a number of children went through as they were trapped at the locked exit doors..................doesn't bear thinking about. Awful, just awful 😢

It was grim watching.
It was well documented though. Done with compassion.

The poor lady that lost her two young sons and husband was particularly upsetting.a

Ridiculous situation in the Forest v Leicester game. The forest player was obviously miles offside. Why not flag straight away? The play continued and then someone gets injured. Unbelievable!

If you think that was obviously miles offside you should have seen Leyton Orient's first goal v Stockport. Or perhaps you did?

And Wimbledon won.

I've noticed, for a number of years, how when a corner kick is taken, the ball has been placed by the corner taker, very much on the edge of the quadrant, and I noticed an extreme version of this in the Cup Final on Saturday, when the MC player taking the corner (about 5 to minutes into the game) placed the ball clearly outside of the quadrant!

So, what is the actual rule on this?!?

I quote from the IFAB rule on this, which seems to me to be extraordinary! And contradictory.............

"When a corner kick is taken, the ball must be on or overhanging the arc or fully inside the corner area."

Or overhanging the arc?!?!?! Then what is the point of the quadrant, is it only a guide, on how much the can player take the piss.
