The world cup

gillybob, I'm glad you brought this up. I use the mobile site on my phone and tablet. There is a vertical list at the top of the page. When I try to write a post the box to type in isn't there. I found my way, eventually, to the desktop site and tried to start a new discussion, but the page I was directed to remained blank. I emailed GNHQ, but I think it was too late for the office staff. I'll see what happens tomorrow.
Sorry about hyjacking the football thread.
I'm enjoying the game.

What's VER for for if we didn't get a penalty for what happened to Harry Kane? Shocking bl**dy decision!!

Is anyone else having problems with
site on iPad / iPhone ?

1-1 at half time . Ref should have awarded a penalty against Tunisia but missed it ! Furious doesn’t cover it !

I can hear muttering and occasional shouting from the other room.

Time to go and investigate!

I've got my headphones on so I can listen to some calming music whilst watching.

I can’t bear this !

I didn't think that DH was that interested but he seems to be developing an interest as he gets older

One of the reasons I chose my OH to marry was that he was not remotely interested in football (or indeed any other sport) and I figured this would mean I would never have this inflicted on me on the TV at home - hooray!

However, now that he has very poor mobility and is at home all the time, he has decided to watch the world cup - help!! I think I will creep off to the bedroom and watch Vera on the little TV!

perhaps I should give in and go and have a look

I could do my knitting at the same time ...

DH shouting Ohhhhh!!

Brilliant early goal for England ! Come on 3 Lions !!

Lucky you Iam64, I can hear the football from the other room where DH is giving an occasional shout

I do remember that quote, though, by Bill Shankly:
"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

I'm by myself to Iam. Just going for my G&T before the game starts. Come on England
(That's probably the kiss of death) ??

Behave Jalima1108, as a very wise man once said, football is more important than life. (well he said something very like that)
I'll be alone in the house because the men are all meeting at someone else's house to drink dirty beer and watch the match together. I will watch the match and continue crocheting the blanket I'm making. Bliss.

I'll bet you know the soccer CVs of every English player
is Beckham still captain, or is it Rooney now?

Gilly is it really the case that it's not allowed to watch live sport on PC without a workplace licence? I have always peeked at BBC sports coverage of tennis during Wimbledon, had no idea it might be illegal!

oh, England are on tonight!
See how little I know
Jalima; You must be kidding! I'll bet you know the soccer CVs of every English player
And you should have advised Gillybob and her Grandson to yell every time England score, not just when.! If the detectors exist and are around they'll let you off anyway when England win!

BTW; Our free-to-air TV Soccer channel is showing all 3 matches tonight live, end to end, with no adverts.
How about that for customer service? The envy of the soccer world!.

I'm afraid I won't have the stamina to last out to 3 a.m. to cheer England on as promised; at least I'll be watching the full ad-free repeat tomorrow!
So let's hear it for the Poms!
Good Health and Good Viewing

oh, England are on tonight!
See how little I know

I won't advise you to watch it in case you got caught - but those detector vans don't go round any more ...
I would probably watch it (if I was that interested of course)

Just don't drape the place with flags, scarves and yell when England score

I'm not sure Bellanonna I only have a mini so it wouldn't be great, but better than a phone I suppose.

Looking forward to watching the England match tonight with my grandson. He asked me if I had my England strip to wear while we watched. Yikes.

Could you use an iPad gillybob?

It is confusing isn’t it Maggie apparently the device has to be battery powered not able to run on the mains ?????

It bugs me that they lump all businesses together . I’m sat on my own most days . No public coming and going either .

That seems unfair, gillybob. Could you not watch on a personal laptop not plugged into the mains? I'm trying to make sense of the TV Licensing website here (not an easy task)!

Apparently I need a workplace licence even if I’m on my own and it’s my own company Jalima Crackers isn’t it ? I can watch on my phone but I can’t see the enjoyment in that.

Anyway I enjoyed the Mexico v Germany match today . Germany were expected to win so I was happy for Mexico who won
1-0

Turns out my £150.50 doesn’t cover that .
Can it not be seen as an extension of your home tv licence? That does seem a bit unfair
