Is Rhod Gilbert part of the 5live commentary team?
You'll be thinking of [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hartson ]John Hartson.[/url] Ex-footballer, cancer survivor and all round good egg.
And another incorrect decision costs a team a goal....
Cheers Jamie; interesting read - still sounds like Rhod Gilbert!

Fine by me, I stuck £3 on Swi after they went a goal down. Just one more and I'll be a millionaire (or win £16)
Hartson fouls team mate then kicks him in the head

Yup. Let us never forget one incident that occurred 16 years ago.
On the plus side, this monster was fined £20k for the kick, and the money went to a Leukaemia charity. So not all bad.
Not wishing to get massively OT, but doesn't that vid show the guy try to punch him first?!
****it - £16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justice done...
I've met Hartson a couple of times through a mate who's ex pro and he's a nice lad.
Nice work by the Swiss. Keeping the goals-per-game average up. And putting a bit of oressure on the French.
Come on Honduras! 🙂
Nice work by the Swiss.
Yup. It was a good game to swatch.
France to destroy Honduras?
I've stuck a couple of quid from my new fortune on a Honduras win; that really is pushing my luck!
Ok, I have just re-evaluated the teams that I think will win the World Cup.
They are now: Netherlands or Germany.
Teams I don't want to win the World Cup: Brazil (host nation should not win) or Argentina (because their President keeps wanting the Falklands back - stoopid woman is trying to gain hype for self promotion).
Still predict England out in the first round because they lack individual skills but is a good betting team. 😆
What [i]are[/i] the French wearing?!? 😆
I was just going say: That kit is truly awful. Plus, from a distance they look more like le Noir, than le Bleu.

France are my dark horses [s]burgers[/s] to win the WC.
What are the French wearing?!?
Le Pourpre.

Evra down...we have an Evra down.
I'm thinking we see the [s]first[/s] second red card tonight. And it'll be to a man in white.

Quite possibly, dude. As you well know, Pereira was off for Uruguay last night, against Costa Rica. So we are probably due for another, given there was 17 red cards in WC 2010.
It's the Honduras grass rolling team
Here you go!
Thought Pogba was fouled first & the Honduran is over-reacting somewhat...
You can tell Palacios is a Stoke player.
Well played, Ref.
Let us never forget one incident that occurred 16 years ago.
OK fair point he is not Joey Barton.
He is a decent fella and not a bad commentator
will it be red it should be
EDIT: palacios[ spell] is far worse in slow mo and he should go - play acting as well - piss poor show
Stamping all over him and barely touched.....[s]makes hartson gag[/s]
blimey - yellow!
That Palacios is a nice guy isn't he?
palacios[ spell] is far worse in slow mo and he should go
+1
Palacios is still alive then? For a minute, I thought we had lost him 😐
lucky boy
Well I think that was sensible refereeing....
Loving the BBC social commentary.

DD what would townsend say WWTS 😉
There you go, Darcy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
same two again
who me ref?
I was just thinking how long would it before those 2 got together again....
[townsend]What he's done there is pushed the attacker. Right in the back. And the ref's given a penalty. That's what he's done.[/townsend]
Well, technically, it was the first red card [i]tonight[/i]. I never said nuffin 'bout the tournament. 😳
I'd not put money on it being the last tonight either.
Hooray, goal line technology works!
Yes - did not look like it at full speed mind.
still needs some explaining to the honduras manager though! 😆lemonysam - Member

Jonathan Pearce is terrible. He's like that Dom Joly character who gets angry at everything. His lack of understanding of the goal-line technology was comical.
Someone needs to explain things to Jonathan Pearce.
