Euro 2024

I don't agree with the decision either but the wording of the rule allows for the interpretation that disallowed the goal.

That is true but I’ll never agree with the outcome and why depriving a second interpretation by the on field by the VAR official was a missed opportunity to get it correct. I don’t agree with anybody saying the correct decision was reached.
Shout out to the poster who thinks in football it is possible to come back infield in that situation to avoid offside. That is the problem for me, too many people who have never played the game thinking they know everything

[ElectroClaret]

They do appear, though, to have got rid of those square posts. Much too late, however.

The Jimmy Mac post.

Little bit of nostalgia for elderly Clarets like myself. This afternoon's game between Czech Rep. and Georgia being played at the Vollspark(sp) Stadium in Hamburg. Quite different to what I remember from one dull afternoon in March 1961 when I rushed home from junior school to watch us play the 2nd leg of our European Cup tie v Hamburg. Won't dwell on the scoreline and outcome. They do appear, though, to have got rid of those square posts. Much too late, however.

Ditto Silky

[wilks_bfc]

Georgia in a last minute break away with a 3 on 1 and they put it over

Ends 1-1

[ElectroClaret]

Golden chance last minute of stoppage time for
Georgia to steal it.

1-1 FT.

[South West Claret.]

Turkey v Portugal next should be a good one.

[Darnhill Claret]

Another pass back to the keeper scores an own goal.

Don't pass back between the posts, especially if you aren't actually looking to see where your keeper is.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but why the hell do ITV have a manager from the lower reaches of the Championship giving his 'expert' opinion on the games.

Don’t worry Danny Rohl is returning to his duties at Sheffield Wednesday after this stint. As with buses another coach will be along soon

Well it's probably ten or more levels higher than the women pundits play at

[Rileybobs]

Well I think this game has put to bed the age-old debate over who is the better team out of Portugal and Turkey.

[South West Claret.]

Surprisingly a very one sided game and won effectively by the away team.

[South West Claret.]

Romania who I thought played very well earlier in the competition against Belgium up next.

Come on Romania!

Is that you DA?

[Rileybobs]

Is that you DA?

I’m not your da

[grapidianclaret]

Any chance GS can just select the eleven players who start and then have them pick a number from 1 to 11 out of a drawstring bag as to where they line up.
Pickford gets the last number?

Asking for a friend
I know this is a couple of days late chaps,but I was fishing the last couple of days.
Needed something relaxing before I put in my two penneth worth.

[4:20]

I like this ref

[morninbob]

Luckbakio, who were after, looks a real player.

[boatshed bill]

Boring isn't it?

[Jamesy]

Why can’t England play on the front foot like this Belgium team? We have got just as good players.
To answer my own question….. Gareth Southgate.
Cracking match this.

[morninbob]

Luckbakio, who were after, looks a real player.

And to think, we ended up with Tresor....

[Longsidebovril]

And to think, we ended up with Tresor....

Don’t Luckbakio in anger.

[Jamesy]

Don’t Luckbakio in anger.

Nice one pal

[Rileybobs]

2-0 KDB. Not that I think he should be penalised in any way, but how come when a player makes a tackle and follows through like that they’re sent off, but KDB shoots on the slide and follows through into the goalkeeper’s shin?

[Darnhill Claret]

KDB offside, surely?

[Darnhill Claret]

And yes, I think he could at least have pointed his studs downward.

[Rileybobs]

KDB offside, surely?

I think he would have been had Lukaku touched it, but I think it went straight from the keeper to KDB.

[chekhov]

Tyldesley’s getting on my tits.
De Bruyne been fantastic though.

[dougcollins]

De Bruyne really going the extra mile in his International shirt.

Not seen that from any England player, quite the opposite.

[Pickles]

Great game. Romania missed some good chances.

[Jamesy]

Superb match. Really enjoyed it. Feel a bit for Lukaku with another disallowed goal.

[distortiondave]

Looked to me like KDB deliberately left his foot in when he scored.

I’m not so sure?

Belgium needed a win.
We are in the box-seat and would expect to go through with 4 points. Sad, isn't it?

[boatshed bill]

Superb match. Really enjoyed it. Feel a bit for Lukaku with another disallowed goal.

And a ridiculous decison.

[Jamesy]

And a ridiculous decison.

Yes after looking at the AI images it was indeed ridiculous.

[South West Claret.]

Scotland v Hungary coming up…come on you jocks you can do it!

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Cone on

[Elizabeth]

Hungary will be determined not to be bottom of the group. An uncomfortable night for Scotland awaits

[Mark the Claret]

Wish we had a national anthem we could belt out

[Winstonswhite]

Styles for Hungary, released by Burnley at 16. Well I never knew that!

[Tufty]

Scotland playing the usual boring British way already. Square passing at the back, forward ball to midfield who then pass it immediately back to defense. Yawn.

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Scotland are so poor.

[martin_p]

Robertson’s set piece delivery is awful. In all three games he’s hardly ever managed to get it past the first man.

[lakedistrictclaret]

This is a match between possibly the two worst teams in the tournament.

[JohnDearyMe]

Did John Carver from the Scottish coaching staff ever have a spell in our backroom team? Or was he just linked at some point

[Winstonswhite]

Scotland are so poor.

Lowest xG in the tournament so far 0.79. Second worst………..England 1.44

[dougcollins]

Che Adams is poor. Has been all three games.

[willsclarets]

There's been some cracking games this tournament but England and Scotland have stunk the joint out

[BleedingClaret]

Scotland playing the usual boring British way already. Square passing at the back, forward ball to midfield who then pass it immediately back to defense. Yawn.

It’s excruciating
