Not sure Fin being in hospital all day was part of our plan today. Poor kid was really unwell overnight but home now and on the mend. I bloody love our NHS staff. They were so lovely with our boy who was clearly unwell and worried. 🌈 #NHS #ThankYouNHS

You can say it’s harsh all you want, it’s not referees’ job to teach you all the laws of the game you play/watch! You either want them to do the job right, or ignore the laws of the game. You can’t have both.

@RogerMcMonagle @carolecadwalla That’s a poor analogy considering the Falklands have always been & still desire to be, a British territory. Better would be to say Ukraine is as Russian as the Republic of Ireland is British. It once was, they didn’t want to be, therefore they are quite rightly not.

@SkyFootball This is a red card offence - it’s not referees’ jobs to explain the laws of the game you all play! This can potentially escalate conflict with the opposition which is why it’s stamped on quickly. Easy solution - don’t be a dick.
