Primarily occasional thoughts on English football

[Tim Beauchamp @timbeauchamp]

@henrywinter It has novelty value now but time to judge is at the end when we might have: the same knockout teams as ever, teams diddled by the format, recognition that the extra 4 teams are whipping boys.

#FlightRiskMovie is ok. It doesn’t try to tax or impress your brain, but it wraps up pretty quickly rather than aim for anything that could be called a twist.

@Laitty 499 per Bromley tweet

#PresenceMovie beat my expectations based on thinking that it would be another forgettable horror movie. Spooky concept but not scary (or trying to be) though that’s how it’s marketed.

Juror #2 a good watch. Seems to be saying justice is a messy imperfect process but in this case there is also a ridiculous premise on top. Not sure why it ended as it did.

I guess James McAvoy doesn’t like the idea of making friends on holiday because he absolutely won’t after that role in Speak No Evil. Horrifying role well before his real crimes revealed.

Can poking into the side netting ever be a goal? @FootballCliches

Deadpool vs Wolverine is the most tongue in cheek film ever and tremendously funny for it.

BBC cameras suggest Bromley is trying to do the opposite of those NE constituencies hoping to declare first (need to zoom in)

This England game looks like the last game of every England manager #euro2024

[Tim Beauchamp @timbeauchamp]

@_PaulHayward It’s close but not unfair or wrong. The only alternative rule would be no overlap (any tolerance level couldn’t work without VAR) and that would still produce marginal decisions resulting in goals being disallowed. This decision wasn’t even slow.

Thank goodness for Christina Unkel on itv’s coverage- without her that would have been a really poor post match review adding nothing to the average viewer’s understanding.

Fine with that as handball as I think most would be if in the middle of the pitch but a penalty is a harsh punishment #GERDAN euro2024

[Tim Beauchamp @timbeauchamp]

@FootballCliches “possible 8th finals” WHAT? Round of 16 not great but 8th finals isn’t ok.

[Tim Beauchamp @timbeauchamp]

On the one hand I wanted Simons strike to count and on the other Dumfries was absolutely interfering from an offside position #EURo2024

[Tim Beauchamp @timbeauchamp]

@henrywinter If only he had a chance to tell them how to do better

[Tim Beauchamp @timbeauchamp]

They’re winning on singing at least #scotland euro 2024

When the ground starts acting like our defence. #Leaky #GlazersIn

@FootballCliches ok to refer to a stadium as ‘the [sponsor]’ if it was built new and named as such but the below is not ok (don’t care how long Toughsheet have had naming rights and ‘at Toughsheet Stadium/Arena’ allowable)

[Tim Beauchamp @timbeauchamp]

@reformussoccer @bromleyfc It really does. The differences are overstated but once you have promotion and relegation no fan can accept it ever being taken away.
