[Martin Slater @mslater75]

Good riddance and glad the club only gave him those meagre words

The standard of officiating in this country is truly appalling.

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

@Run_Dolly_Run I fear for the players trying to get out of the stadium after that result

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

@BorisBedd Led with his foot to block the shot which naturally means the body turns - honestly some of the current fan base really need to give their heads a shake

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

@caaljohnson Not a good example to set to novice runners either - elite athletes run on broken bones so just tough out the pain no matter what the consequences

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

Says a lot about the arm chair viewer - currently none elite athletes thinking they could take up a sport and become elite in FOUR years. The X factor generation

@BorisBedd I did think the French lad looked guilty running down the last 100m but agreed he was fortunate to get through.

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

@BorisBedd That’s the problem with the format - to not have fastest loser positions means 5k turns into a 400m burnout

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

@BorisBedd They moved from the 1500m heats to a rowing final that had no brits in it l - what’s the point of that l.

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

WHERE THE FUCK IS GORDON #ENGSVK

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

This ref is is joke #ENGSVK

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

Well that was awful from everyone. It’s not coming home and yet another waste of a great squad #england

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

@BorisBedd A possible chance to kick on too though, stronger squad, no regular hursdays /Sunday football and a chance to kick on when we just had domestic football

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

Aye sick ripped like that and no penalty

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

What a show for the #Auroraborealis in north east England

[Martin Slater @mslater75]

How is that NOT a penalty
