Watching Kenya's home AfCON qualifier against Togo on our beloved exists for the sake of it national broadcaster. Having been absent for the entirety of the 1st half he has variously called the opposition Ghana, Senegal and Ivory Coast.

David Duckinfield found Not Guilty 30 years after Hillsborough. My guess would be a civil lawsuit will follow where the burden of proof is many times smaller.

I'll defer to the legal experts on CW what happens now, but I'm just registering my disgust that after 30 years, a cover up and blame being put on the fans themselves, there hasn't been a conviction for the unlawful killings of 95 people, plus the extra one who died years later.

For him to take all the responsibility related to the tragic events at Hillsborough that day would have seemed harsh. Many others had some responsibility but will never be asked to face up to it.

I suppose there may be some civil action in preparation.

Kenya got a nice cushy World Cup qualifying group I see, Mali as top seed and they've never qualified

I just watched (only intended to watch the intro) Bob Paisley's "This is Your Life". Great show. Matt Busby's appearance was particularly great.

Two years is enough time to choke it all away considering how fickle the football admin and fandom is

Surely Mali can't be that far away? They're starting to produce decent players.

I see the FA voted for Colombia's bid as part of a European bloc vote, despite the ANZAC proposal scoring 4.1 out of 5 in a FIFA evaluation report compared to Colombia's 2.9.

I thought this thing wasn't supposed to happen, post Brexit??!?

Back off Brussels!

International Football's coming back to Africa this week. We play Zambia, then Comoros without Victor Wanyama, and the J-League's top score Michael Olunga

Heaven help us all

Kenya changes coaches one week before a crucial home and away double header in AfCoN qualifiers. Only managed 1 point from 6. Hands initiative to Comoros and Egypt. Now everyone wants the new coach sacked


An international break for the ages
