  I agree the England goal was a correct decision

  The Cameroon goal being disallowed because her foot was 6 inches offside was ridiculous. The letter of the law might have been applied, but the spirit of the law was nowhere to be seen. Under any reasonable assessment she was level with the defender and the goal should have stood.

  When I watch football I want to see goals and celebration, not some poindexter applying a televisual sliderule.

  I think teams should be allowed 2 challenges per match like cricket.

  If VAR enforces the "keeper on the line" rule for pens next season there are going to be a LOT of retakes

  For £1030 still sounds like a decent deal to me

  Maybe a problem with a door seal or similar that let water in to the seatbelt area? No other mention of rust implies it's a limited problem. See if you can have a chat with the tester and get his opinion?
