"Those Brits are a strange old race. They show affection by abusing each other, will think nothing of casually stopping in the middle of a firefight for a 'brewup' and eat food that I wouldn't give to a dying dog. But fuck me, I would rather have one British squaddie on side than an entire battalion of Spetznaz! Why? Because the British are the only people in this world who when the chips are down and it seems like there is no hope left, instead of getting sentimental or hysterical, will strap on their pack, charge their rifle, light up a smoke, and calmly and wryly grin, 'Well, are we going then you wanker?" 🏴 🇬🇧
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
A little less than ten years ago, Leicester were Champions of England whilst Lincoln had achieved a 5 year high league position of 13th (105th in the pyramid), in the fifth tier. In just a few months, Lincoln will be a division above Leicester.
Life moves fast.
NEW: Lincoln City promoted to second tier of English football for first time in 65 years. They’ve done it with a wage cap of £3,500 per week, seventh lowest budget in League and lowest average possession. Inside their remarkable rise.

@mattdavie84@OGSCardiffCity Lincoln fully deserved the win and outclassed you today… they could have got a third or fourth towards the end but let you off the hook. Game was over at that point anyway. Deluded take.
