I was unfamiliar with the quotation - and having found it on You Tube, feel that I had not missed anything. Stick to your Teutonic Vice, would be my recommendation, Whistleblower.

Sound advice, as always JCFC. Tonight though a little Italian ( or maybe Scottish ) vice. Off to the last night of Lucia Di Lammermoor at the ENO
Poor Lucia, once or twice in my refereeing career, when I know I've lost control of the match , I've felt somewhat like her !!

Ah hahahaha!!! I was only looking at the post that he messed up the quote on and not his next post!! I have just spent 5 mins reading and re-reading that one & then running it through word to find the spelling error I missed

That's it enough of you lot I'm off to watch the rest of Kaposvári Rákóczi v Újpest in the Magyar Kupa Round 8! Got to love the professionalism in Hungary - there are 12 rounds in total in the Magyar Kupa, the equivalent of the FA Cup in England, so the next stage is the round of 16, then quarter finals, semi final & final. There's not even a 4th official appointed at this stage, let alone AAR's!

I must admit to wondering whether this was a slightly oscure metaphorical reference to Mrs May's dilemma.

"Based on Walter Scott’s novel The Bride of Lammermoor, the story traces how Lucia, an innocent woman, is manipulated by the men in her life until, no longer willing to submit to their control, she descends into insanity."

I couldn't help wondering, if Lucy Ashton becomes Lucia, what is the Italian for Caleb Balderstone?

Microscopist...it's a very fair analogy. Lucia stabs to death the husband her brother has forced onto her on their wedding night before then running mad. I wonder who Mrs May might like to plunge the dagger into ? I should think her list is a very long one. When her Brexit travails are all over perhaps she should think about taking up football refereeing. Controlling a fractious North London derby match would be a doddle compared to what the poor woman is undergoing now.

JCFC...Caleb Balderstone doesn't appear as such in the opera. The equivalent would be Normanno, Retainer to the Ashtons who is really the villain of the piece for devising the whole marriage scheme in the first place. The Italianisation of Scottish characters is wonderfully absurd. I really do enjoy Donizetti, it's all so entertaininly hysterical. He wrote an opera which I long to see  'Emilia Di Liverpool' but it is sadly rarely performed.

We have come a long way from Chris Kavanagh, perhaps more than six degrees of separation although, you never know, he may be an opera fan.

Yes he was named on the list Vlad published on here yesterday or the day before.

There's a lot more teams here in the UK compared to Hungary! Are your 14 rounds including the preliminary rounds to even qualify for the proper rounds? Ours is 12 including right from county level up! No matter the amount of rounds, it doesn't change the fact that at the round of 32 ie round 8 we don't even have 4th officials appointed - these are games that include the top league teams, who join in from round 6. Oh and my team lost! Only the 4th time in 22 years that the cup holders have been eliminated before the winter break according to my lovely friend Gergely, who is a walking, talking encyclopedia of Magyar Foci!!

Yep, the whole lot starting in early August and finishing in May. 

Are Hungarian winters more predictable than ours. The idea of a true weather-induced break seems a bit hit or miss to me.  Of course if it's just to give our pampered superstars a couple of weeks off to work on their image rights and the like I guess it doesn't matter.

Very predictable! Even during the last international break the ref was wearing gloves in one of the Hungary games as it was -6 in Budapest pre-match, he stopped short of a wooly hat & gloves but the poor lad looked frozen! It had edged up (or down I guess) to -10 by the end of the game. They obviously cope overall better with the snow & ice because they are used to it and good job too because there is lots of it! Mr bmb was stuck there last winter for a few of weeks because the road leading to the Hungarian branch of bmb towers was under 10 feet of snow & it's not that rural! It is up a hill and the houses are up on a bank about 6 feet high on either side, the road just disappeared completely and the snow was up to about ground floor window height at the house. Time it had cleared enough to safely pass, he was then unable to fly because Luton airport was closed due to 1 inch of snow! Time that cleared we had 6 feet in Hungary again!! Winter sports are quite popular, lots of places to ski in the mountainous region to the North. The Duna often freezes in places, not the whole way across but last year I did stand watching huge chunks of ice, 3-4 feet wide floating past which was mad!  A few of the games early in the spring season were called off due to snow on the pitch or frozen pitches, even in the NB1 where the teams all have undersoil heating. This year we break up a week later than last season and start back a week or maybe 2 later. It is a true weather break not just a chance for the pampered superstars to sun themselves in Bali!

Our road last winter, once it was passable!! Photo taken end of Feb.
