In a must win game they had 5 attempts and 1 on target, can't have any complaints. Steve Clarke football makes Southgate's tactics look like Guardiola

Scotland were pretty dreadful in all three games. No point waiting until the last 10 mins of their tournament to have a go. They had all the possession in the first half tonight and barely mustered a shot.

Are you Burnley in disguise? Sums up the naivety. With the two in Spain and Italy groups on 1 pt with the big boys to play I suspect 2 pts would have been enough.

Looks like the Jocks were probably robbed of a penalty.

Interesting that Hungary kept a man up on the half way line for their goal.

Can’t believe these pundits! To me it was obvious that Armstrong initiated the contact and even had hold of the defenders shirt.

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sun Jun 23, 2024 10:11 pm

To be fair though Armstrong jumps into the defender away from the ball. The defender has no chance of avoiding contact there.

Maybe if he'd been braver and tried to play teh ball and shoot ...

The punditry here in England is, to say the least, a little biased.

It looks to me like there's a clear reason the penalty wasn't awarded - the Scot literally jumps in front of the defender. He's trying to turn the player / protect the ball but at that point he's no longer in control of the ball. He jumps away from the ball to do this.

Nobody can argue about there being "contact" but that's not the point. The Scot jumps in front of the defender and away from the ball to instigate the collision. If anything, it's a fk the other way.

This. He looks back jumps across the defender and totally forgets he is in front and has a chance to score. Deserved nothing

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Sun Jun 23, 2024 10:15 pm

Two things to take from that. European refs are on a different level to ours and Scotland are a fairly average League One side.

Middle of the pitch that’s a free kick 100% of the time, players are entitled to put their body between the ball and the opponent. I’d be furious if the clarets hadn’t got a pen for that.

I honestly thought the ref had a shocker tonight

No consistency at all.

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Sun Jun 23, 2024 10:23 pm

It’s never a pen. We’ve been left behind in England (and Scotland). In Europe, they moved on from all that ‘there’s contact’ nonsense. Go down.. play on, squeal like a baby.. play on, intitiate contact.. play on.

It was easier to just get a shot away instead of manufacturing a collision. 100% his fault.

Did you think the one at Villa was a pen?

He's entitled to get his body between the ball and the opponent only if he is in control of the ball. And by jumping the way he did, he was not in control of the ball.

It's a funny game when the player who is attacking the goal pauses, jumps a little bit to his left, puts his arm on the defender approaching from behind, pulls the defenders shirt and then claims a penalty when the defender's knee bumps into the back of his leg.

The referee and the VAR (assuming var thought it was worth var reviewing) got it right.

Referees and VAR have been so much better than we see in the Premier League.
