Euro 2024

[Benson]

Keeper isn’t having a game he’ll want to remember

Kompany preparing a bid for him as we speak

[Colburn_Claret]

Picking a TEAM without a fit Left Back, but at least players can play in their natural positions, and in the same way they do for their clubs.

---------------------------Pickford---------------------------

Walker ----------Konsa----------Stones-----------Gomez

---------------------Rice----------Bellingham--------------

Foden-------------------Palmer------------------------Eze

----------------------------Kane----------------------------


Foden or Saka is a close call, as is Eze or Gordon.
Palmer needs to be picking up the pieces around the edge of the box, and making sure Kane isn't isolated.
AND feed Kane and he will score.

[South West Claret.]

Absolutely AD, what a brilliant performance by Romania.

[Buxtonclaret]

Didn't realise this is the Ref that got assaulted in Turkey.

[ElectroClaret]

Belgium 0 Slovakia 1

[Buxtonclaret]

Slovak are 1 up!
Could have been 3 goals in this game already!

[chekhov]

Got to say these euros have already broken the record for the most horrendous collection of sleeve (and neck) tattoos ever put on public display.

You’re bashing the manager for playing players out of position then ask for our best player to play out of position.

[Buxtonclaret]

Can't we sign Duda?
Just think of the songs that would ring out of the Longside.

[ElectroClaret]

Slovakia doing really well here, almost got a 2nd.
Certainly not shot shy.

[Buxtonclaret]

Been a very watchable game.
Played well Slovakia.
Not as much tippy-tappy sideways/back passing stuff we're often forced fed these days.

Who is out of position, apart from Gomez as a necessity and he does play all along the back for Liverpool

They’ve been pushing this on the radio all day and it’s been driving me mad. If your going to play 4 at the back WE DONT NEED 2 DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS.

What?

[Buxtonclaret]

1-1
Nope
Offside.

[Claret Till I Die]

1-1

0-1

[ElectroClaret]

Offside still 0-1

[Conroysleftfoot]

The speed at which they reach the VAR offside decisions is impressive.

[ElectroClaret]

Brilliant game, great goalline clearance.

[Buxtonclaret]

The speed at which they reach the VAR offside decisions is impressive.

Would have taken 10 minutes to clear that up in a Prsm game ( perhaps depending who was playing who )

[4:20]

Ref's falling for the silly buggers

[ArmchairDetective]

VAR seems to have worked well in every international tournament it's been used in. Semi-automated offside improves that further. It's the PL that can't or won't use it well.

[Winstonswhite]

It’s the chip in the ball that seems to be working well for VAR. I’m sure it’ll be fully automated for offside decisions within a few years.

[dougcollins]

Having all the money in the world doesn't give you taste.

[ArmchairDetective]

Regardless of the outcome of this match, there's been some very impressive and surprising performances from Slovakia and Romania today. Got to love international tournaments.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I think if todays football highlights anything

There’s no such thing as an easy game. As bad to watch as that game was yesterday we got the all important win

[ArmchairDetective]

There’s no such thing as an easy game.

Scotland entered the chat

[Newcastleclaret93]

As a side note how good is that Lobotka

[123EasyasBFC]

Everyone mentions the castore kits in the heat, the Belgium one is shocking with the heat and the Swiss one the other day to

[ElectroClaret]

1-1 Lukaku

VAR check... disallowed handball.

[123EasyasBFC]

As a side note how good is that Lobotka

We need your expertise on the manager thread, and I’m not being sarcastic, but do you know much about the two manager rumours today, malmo and Mainz

[Rileybobs]

[Buxtonclaret]

Going to be some bad tempered Belgian folk about.

[jos]

I think they can look quite artistic on the young, but anyone over forty with one just looks wrong, it’s a pity they don’t just wipe off.

And why girls with them think they are cool I don’t know! Horrid.

Still each to their own.

[Rileybobs]

How has the game ever got to the point that that is handball.

[roperclaret]

What?

We should only be playing 2 ‘number 6’s’ if we are playing 3 at the back.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Both VARs seem fair. That hand definitely made the ball more in his stride and the law seemed to be applied ok.

As an aside I’m not that keen on the ones we tried to sign, like Lukebakio.

[distortiondave]

That is barmy. It's not quite Berge at Forest barmy, but there's no way that minor contact affected the direction or control of the ball.

[Rileybobs]

I’ve only got the game on in the background so there may be a simple answer, but what the hell was the ‘snickometer’ style graphic all about?

The chip in the ball recorded the sound of his hand striking the ball.

[chekhov]

That’s a crazy decision in my humble opinion. The way the replay was slowed for the review didn’t take into account the way the defender was wrestling his arm.
It’s the sort of decision that really kills the game.

[Buxtonclaret]

Well done, Slovakia!
Great watch that.

[Vegas Claret]

he's not even looking at the ball when it hits his hand, it's a ******* scandalous decision

[Buxtonclaret]

These 'unatural' positions are bonkers.

[Rileybobs]

The chip in the ball recorded the sound of his hand striking the ball.

Hilarious. What a load of b0llocks.

[BabylonClaret]

Tbf you could see in his face he k ew it hit his hand when it went to VAR. It's not a big touch and possibly he's trying g to wrestle back from the defender rather than striking at the ball buy without the touch it probably doesn't drop so close on his side.

Arguable both ways I guess but the ref consultant person explained the rules interpretation pretty well

[Colburn_Claret]

They’ve been pushing this on the radio all day and it’s been driving me mad. If your going to play 4 at the back WE DONT NEED 2 DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS.

Is Bellingham a defensive midfielder?

[bodge]

Harsh on the Belgians that, fair do's to Slovakia though, Zippidy was man of the match, impressive display from him.

[ISpeds00]

Where ??

Just look in the main online rags/vids - if you see blood, you see burnley

[ISpeds00]

I recognised a few, one got a decent kick in by the looks of it

Crazy int it - i'd not be lookin forward to be coming back by plane anyway
