The equaliser sumed up what's great about the dutch team, robben's cynical dive what's awful.


It was naive of the defender as they had it well covered, but robben, tut tut tut.


The piblet has gone crazy over the world cup, is always acting out imaginary games, and penalties, but the thing he most of does is throw himself to the floor clutching his face and rolling around. Its equal parts hilarious and utterly depressing

Sorry did this hapen on the pitch while millions of viewers looked on? And did it happen on 3 ocassions? Regardless of who the little rat plays for he's out of order and he's been punished. Instead of griping about it how about moving on, or better still admitting he's a wrong un rather than trying to delect the flack on to another side issue? How many times must Liverpool and it's fans try to defend the indefensible, the T shirts issued for the Evra affair were enbarrassing, and this is going the same way. He's probably off to Barca anyway, we'll see if you feel the same way if does bugger off to Spain.

But you've only brought this up BECAUSE of the Suarez incident, you wouldn't have given it a second thought had that NOT happened. Yes it's awful yes it's despicabe, but so is Chewy Suarez. Better?

And that is the point I've been trying to put over to Anna.

Good that he's admitted what happened. And nice that he's apologised to the player, especially after Chiellini said the following the other day, which really impressed me.

"Now inside me there's no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez for an incident that happened on the pitch and that's done. There only remain the anger and the disappointment about the match.


At the moment my only thought is for Luis and his family, because they will face a very difficult period.


I have always considered unequivocal the disciplinary interventions by the competent bodies, but at the same time I believe that the proposed formula is excessive. I sincerely hope that he will be allowed, at least, to stay close to his team mates during the games because such a ban is really alienating for a player."

      Be careful on the pavements...

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
