Look at the screen-name. I wouldn't worry too much about what this person has to say.

The time announced by the 4th official is a minimum to be played, but it ends at the ref's discretion so a game-winning final attack isn't ended by the buzzer. If it ended with a buzzer, a team winning by one could just keep fouling opposing players to eat up the rest of the clock, since it stays running during

Well technically a baseball game is ended by the umpire in confirming the final out/winning run, at least some of the time. But I get your point.

Forget Norway!

Maybe the conditions in Brazil are getting to ol' Pearcey

Both him and Pat Nevin on BBC 5Live were being absolute nobs about the call yesterday. I love how GLT is supposed to give us the definitive answer when the video replays aren't clear, but Nevin basically said yesterday "I can't tell from the replay whether it's in or out, so I think the GLT is wrong." Utter twats.

...Discourages teams from enjoying massive advantages over rivals,

Do you understand what the legal concepts of culpability and negligence are? You're digging an even bigger hole for yourself with this comment - it sounds really ignorant from where I'm sitting.

Couldn't Spain have worn their regular away kit (which is black) and Holland their orange (like the 2010 final)? Or have Spain in the red and Holland in the same kit as tonight? I always think it's a shame when neither team can wear their home kit.

Considering "soccer" is derived from "association football", I wouldn't call it the original word for the sport.

Man, you're tweets aren't all that popular, are they?

Seventh Beatle, depending on where you rank Apu.

I never said you aren't British, but I'm feeling more and more confident that you don't actually know what you're talking about. Since you haven't actually bothered to provide a rebuttal of my comment or a defense of yours, I can only assume you agree with me and have changed your opinion on this issue.

Says the commenter who asked "what about the taxpayers?" like it's a relevant issue and tried to argue that somehow the monarchy costs the UK money (which, it has been demonstrated so, so many times, is simply not true) - obviously not knowing anything about what they are talking about.

As one of those British taxpayers whose earnings subsidised the helicopter (and benefits from the many, many millions of pounds profit the Royal Family earns for the UK treasury every year), I would rather her create a job for someone and not give the paps the pleasure of taking her picture, than have a young woman

Why can't you?

Umm she shouldn't have to change the way she dresses to stop strangers from taking invasive pictures of her.

Shouldn't it be "ensure"? Unless Coach Hypothetical takes out a policy on little Timmy Hypothetical Jr. playing running back.

I know the symptoms seem minor, but really you should go and get some medical assistance. Strokes aren't something to be taken lightly - every second matters in saving your already declining mental faculties.

She even said I'm "one of the best members of the species", which I think was both a ringing endorsement of my skills, and also just a really kind thing to say.
