Was Rooney passed fit in time for 8 June? What was last night's final score?CF Mon 09 Jun 2008 17:12:26 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2008/05/englands_dream_chance_as_croatia_drop_of_out_of_eu.html?page=16#comment9 as suspected, and common sense dictated, however watch out those on high horses will still find something to complain about, im surprised people are not complaining about Kirsty's cameo on Dr Who as a frivolous waste of time that could be spent on serious 24-7 reporting Thu 08 May 2008 22:15:52 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2008/05/englands_dream_chance_as_croatia_drop_of_out_of_eu.html?page=14#comment8 Rest assured viewers, neither the time nor the money will be a cost to the licence fee. I will do it *after work* - that concept still exists even here in the Newsnight office - and I will be using my circa 1959 vintage Subbuteo set.

Not only is the footy man not doing his job, he is keeping someone else from doing it.So go McCarroll pray for the day when news and entertainment are one.

I doubt it costs anything, is probably done is spare time and might even be funny. and yet you see fit to whine, never leave playschool?

Please leave and go to ITV, Sky or maybe Bid Up.
