He's only six months younger than Dwight McNeil!

Why can't Foden play?

Goobs · Post by **Goobs** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 6:03 pm

We need Dwight and City can afford to use Foden more sparingly. Dwight also tends to look jaded later in games at the moment.

I think if Foden was in the full England squad and playing every week for city it would be too much for him at this moment in time (I may be wrong) and that's before you take into account the hype / pressure on him to be a world beater.

Why's it not a problem for Dwight McNeil to play every week?

Team pretty much as expected tonight. Although Trippier playing again is a bit of a surprise, not sure what TAA has done to upset Southgate.

What a goal!!!

Great news

Henderson yellow carded so can't play in the next game.

Oh and Rashford has just smashed one in to put us one up

Wow!
Good effort.
1--0

What a goal by Rashford.

I might just stick with this after that Screamer from Rashford.... Victoria's on record now

Why is Pickford playing for Bulgaria ?

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:01 pm

Thought I'd switch over and have a look. I was surprised to find that Trifon Ivanov wan’t playing for them anymore. I then Googled him, only to find out that he died, three years ago, of a heart attack; he was only 50.

England still looking fragile at the back again.

But ok going forward.

Yes concerning against such limited opponents,it won't matter tonight,but doesn't bode well for the tougher tests that'll await next summer.

Lovely cross.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:22 pm

Suspected racial abuse now confirmed,sadly it's not a surprise,let's hope the game lasts the 90 minutes.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:22 pm

Think Sterling was looking for a pen then.
He was bundled over though.

How was that not a penalty?

As a ref not giving that as a pen.

Bulgarians trying to get the match abandoned to keep the score down.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:27 pm

Bulgaria away used to be a tough fixture. (And Bulgaria home was bloody hard too) But not any more, it seems. They remind me of Scotland (reserves!) these days.

Can't say I've heard any racist chanting, but its been reported for the 2nd time now.

I did see some nobber in a black hoody and a face mask chucking a nazi salute earlier though. Sad times.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:30 pm

How do you stop a few mindless idiots in the crowd getting the game abandoned for racial abuse. You can see games getting abandoned left right and centre.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:30 pm

Award 10-0 to England if it carries on.

That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.

“Hey lads, either stop booing Sterling or leave the stadium”

“Okay, see you later....”

Off they trot

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:35 pm

Heck, Bulgaria are poor.
4-0

Yep, kind of reminded me of that Millwall match in the 90s when they all kicked off at 4-0 down and disappeared beneath the CFS, only to reappear when they got their 2nd of 3 goals.

Maybe that's what it needs if we're going to stamp this out.

Exactly what it needs. Ridiculous it’s not been abandoned already.

If it goes the distance England might hit double figures anyway,how dire are Bulgaria though.

4-0 at HT,alas the football won't be the main talking point.

Well the half time images leave little doubt about the racist chanting.

Indeed. You can only see this continuing, especially as the nazis in the crowd will feel they have nothing to lose now by keeping on doing it.

An abandonment seems inevitable.

Disgusting thick idiots. Get their images and although there is nothing Uefa will do we should ban them entering any European country.
