What I've never seen is a ref' send a player off for something that happened off the pitch

It happens all the time here. Not long ago a fan threw a lighter (or something like that) to the field. A Rosario Central player threw it back and the ref said "bye, bye". He wanted to kick himself in the butt, poor stupid.

Does that come under the heading of "misconduct"?

Scratch that, I found the law:

Quote

The player is also guilty of violent conduct if excessive force or brutality is used against a team-mate or any other person.

That law might not be that strict since some defenders I know couldn't even play one single game if that was the case.  ;D

I am totally impressed by this Womens World Cup. I think England would have won it barring that desperate, attempted clearance, but the English are well used to that sort of thing from the men's game.

I'm rooting for the U.S as I'm piddled off with Japan atm.

Bilić hasn't made West Ham look any better this season either (well, perhaps briefly against the Gunners).

Come back "big Sam", all is forgiven.

Someone make a song about Jesse Lingard already!

No, wait ... terraces are still empty.

You could replace the Hammers by the Baggies in this sentiment ...

Yes, but the other way round.

Mind you, loving the West Brom win over Chelsea. Makes us the top London club in the Premier League.

Ok, I'm starting on a Lingard statue.

And possibly an effigy of Masuaku.

Referee in the Wales game is either blind, stoopid or as bent as a nine bob note.

I was looking at the urban dictionary explanation of  "bent as a nine bob note" and its top definition suggests that it means "gay". This might have been adopted by younger folk but historically "bent" means crooked like "bent coppers", and a nine bob (nine shilling) note never existed so overall the term really means something counterfeit or "on the take".

There's a similar term in the US that went out of use a long time ago, "odd as a 3 dollar bill". It also started with the original meaning of "odd", that of "odd" or "weird". Of course, 3 dollar US bills done exist either, thus the phrase.
