Taken James off. He’s been excellent

Yes. Great goal

Which should have been a penalty?

Right decisions so far for me.

A collision on the edge of the box. Pundits will probably look at it at half time

Surely VAR sorts that out?

Perhaps they are using it correctly and only intervening where there’s an obvious blunder. Wouldn’t THAT be refreshing?

Claret

Should have been a penalty to Italy

The model car with the ball in it....WTF.

Uefa officials thinking up more fabulous ideas: radio controlled toy cars; enough fireworks to burn down Rome; VAR; balloons with girls. It’s all there

I assume (dangerous when it comes to VAR, I know) that a player will be offside if there is a gap between the two lines. If the lines overlap in any way then the benefit of the doubt goes with the attacker.

That’s what I (dangerously) assumed would be the situation

Claret

Another good idea might be to have an official standing alongside the touch line with a flag that he/she can wave in the air when that official judges a player to be offside. It’s groundbreaking but I’m sure it would work

Saw a Blackburn Rovers shirt in Zanzibar.
The wearer was selling vegetables, struggled with english and knew sod all about football.
‘Typical Rovers fan’, I thought.

Claret

Just get rid of it.
The tv pundits can then talk about what would have happened had VAR been used and the rest of us can just get on with it

Claret

Making technically correct decisions is not the be all and end all of football. I can live with referees making errors but it’s hard to accept all the bollocking about that VAR introduces. And still you get wrong decisions

Claret

Hesgoal 0

Oh no.
One of the greats. A real inspiration to me and I’m sure many more.

I got 6.

And Cornwall is the only English county I’ve not visited.

Possibly because there is no league football team in Cornwall and it’s not en route to any league football grounds!

Jon Moss takes a lot of stick, however, he is one of the referees who played at a decent level and he knows the game. He had a good game in charge of that match and Maupay was well out of order at the end and has got the punishment he deserves. It would have been easy for Jon to walk away, however,...

And now Bamford saying to the ref “so I have to dive” to get a penalty. NO HE DOES NOT. If he had have dived then he would have cheated. It was a close call but that’s the way it goes.

Claret

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s penalty was an absolute travesty. Another one of those “there was contact” bullsh*t moments

Claret

Both pundits say the Man City sending off was harsh but the defender had quite clearly grabbed the attacker’s arm preventing him from heading the ball forwards.

Got them all apart from Xxxxxx. It’s just a matter of how quick you can type and remembering that Xxxxxx exists

I wasn’t sure about what was happening at that stage, as I was dubbing in and out of the game, but if it was racial, shouldn’t Dyche should have removed the team?

I’m sure he would have but no one knew where they were

Only last night I was watching TV when a footballer clearly committed a deliberate handball offence, stopping another footballer from having a scoring opportunity, yet, inexplicably, the first footballer carried on playing.
How do you explain that?

VAR can't do anything about that handball once Coote has made his decision, that's what the commentary team were telling us. Well then, the commentary team are wrong (and thank goodness everyone can ignore commentators when they want to). I think they are saying it wasn’t stopping a goal scoring op...

Claret

He started off really well, I thought, and was ignoring all the minimal-contact-entitled-to-go-down nonsense but then spoiled it with a couple of errors. As bf2k says, it was VAR that cocked up the handball by their keeper. If there was no VAR then we could have accepted the decision but to have had...

Last time I saw the Bay City Rollers was in the early 70s as I was on my way to the dentist in Burnley. They were running out of the Keirby Hotel and diving into a limousine. There was absolutely no one else around except me walking along Church Street.

This having to play football games malarkey is a right pain in the neck for the big clubs.

If Celtic or Rangers want to reach the Premier League shouldn’t they have to start at the Northern Counties 2nd Division east or something and work their way up?

Semi final 1974. I don’t know if we deserved to win or not but it was the most disappointed I have ever been at a footy match. We could have been at Wembley for a cup final during an era when such things were huge events. Two more results I’d like to change are in the FA Cup again: Rossendale Utd 1-...

True fans need to start a campaign together him blocked from playing for England ever again.

In this new woke world should never be accepted.

It looked like he got fouled to me

I agree. Personally I’d be happy to not get some subjective decisions against us if it meant the game progressed. I’d still like to see VAR for violent conduct and offside (if they applied the tech right of course), and I’d also be happy for retrospective punishment for stuff not picked up during t...
