Re: The general Euro2024 chit chat thread

6ft Kerplunk
bcubed Not sure how they haven't given that

Armstrong looked like he might have been offside from the through ball. Maybe they've checked that so no need to then look at overturning the penalty decision.


That would make sense

Re: The general Euro2024 chit chat thread

What is the event they are saying that UEFA showed the replay of but BBC cut away? What was that? Hungary are the one team I want to crash out, awful country seemingly full of awful people. Hungarian player at the very least knocked out, at worse dead. Pretty grim as there seems to have been no sta...

Re: The general Euro2024 chit chat thread

Seemed to jump into the defender looking for it and one angle showed he had hold of the Hungarian shirt. Thought that ref did well. When you think how many penalties are given for the slightest contact that was a rugby tackle Footballers are con artists and sometimes they get caught out. Of course ...

Re: The general Euro2024 chit chat thread

Kevin Garside sums it up very well. And when Southgate intervened his first change was Conor Gallagher, a kind of fast-twitch replica of Rice, a player who runs about a lot but who cannot control a match at this level. So England had two of a kind when the situation was crying out for Kobbie Mainoo...

Re: The general Euro2024 chit chat thread

As has been said, so many positives about Southgate - and he IS very good at the first 30 minutes in big games! Steve Holland has probably done a very good job, but after previous near misses, maybe there needed to be a different / better No 2 to challenge the established thinking. Somebody who see...

Re: England - the future....

It seems an odd idea to be trying people and things immediately before a tournament. I'm pretty sure successful teams tend to play their best 11 and get them used to playing with each other, tinkering a bit if you want to try someone out or a new tactic. I agree a 5 0 win sets us up, in the press an...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

My tuppence worth! I think that the Americans (as in Wrexham) are attempting to draw locals back to the game, Wrexham has good transport links to both Liverpool and Manchester. How often can they get tickets to see the big clubs and the cost associated with this, invest in a small club with big amb...
