International Matches | 15th - 22nd November 2023

[Kippax77]

These officials should be sacked and I include var in that. We have to say though that's yet another horrible negative shit England performance. We are going backwards. International football is dross though. Can anybody remember a decent international game?

France vs West Germany at Spain 82 wasn't bad

 

[tweety]

We had already qualified so it was a bit of a run out. I'm sure that the waistcoat will be on his way after the finals win or lose. Fingers crossed.

My god
One of the worst referring performances I have ever seen.
Beyond farcical how any contact at all when we challenged for the ball he blew up, constantly. Totally disrupted and ruined the match.
Thought we dominated, Grealish unlucky with offside goal and Foden was a constant threat. Felt for young Rico for that harsh penalty but he showed a lot of heart for rest of game, lacked a bit of composure - and for all that talk he would play left back that wasn’t the case as most of match he was around the middle. Rice played well,worthy a mention.
crap pitch. Crap ref which stifled the game- But already qualified, smashed the group and unbeaten for the year.
Bring on the Euros.

Your take on VAR? Lol

 

[CarlosTevez'sEnglishTutor]

Jesus, not often I have to make a note of the ref in an England game but Mr Filip Glova of Slovakia will be remembered for all the wrong reasons

Bless Kane trying to talk sense into him at the end. That's not quite how it works with cultural enrichment such as Roma people haha.

We are too fucking nice and it's cost us dearly in tournament football for decades. Gaz will get the tournament but hopefully Jose is hired ASAP this summer. It's crying out for a bit of bite and someone who can manage world class players.

Imagine working under a gaffer who won't even have the stones to confront that subhuman piece of shit in the dressing room after that tonight. He has deliberately sabotaged everything Gareth and his staff have worked for out there, the smirk said it all. I'm not a fan of most grassing bastards in the black, but this piece of shit tonight was another level. Needs dropping off in a van somewhere.

 

[Claytop]

Fingers crossed Lewis & Phil are fine.

Rice offered ZERO going forward. They'd have been better with a back 5.

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw such a poor referee performance. Just from start to finish bad.

It was bizarre. If qualification counted on this result everyone would be up in arms about that **** and var and rightly so. We have to get rid of shit officials out of the game it's a joke.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Your take on VAR? Lol

Still want it even if they get the odd call wrong - as it’s the officials who are witnessing it so they have to be held accountable for bad calls. What’s really frustrating is why the ref goes to the screen and feels he has to give it - he’s literally watching what we all have and deemed that a foul. The ref was farcical.

 

[Hes the left back remember]

England fans chanting 'Channel 4 youre fkin shit

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

All I’ll say is, thank fuck, the water torture is over. Bring on the weekend.

 

[manimanc]

Rico looked great out there. Saka is a greedy bastard, no wonder he gets injured all the time as he's holding on to the ball for too long.

 

[paulchapo]

France vs West Germany at Spain 82 wasn't bad

Ha ha well yes most of the great games are in the past.

Which we won’t win……

That boy has no bottle, let's his country down time and time again. Not the same player as he is for Arsenal.

Rico showed great strength of character tonight after that robbery. He was like dogshit, fucking everywhere. Top top player in the making.

Three minutes to check an OBVIOUS offside was a pisstake. Plus, they clearly didn't add that time on at the end.

 

[SouthernPlastic]

Of course its part of his job to attack. Have you never seen a Pep team. I love Kyle but do think he could somet8mes do better in the attacking third

That’s just it, he can’t. He gets selected because he can defend. Have you never watched Kyle play before? He allows others to get forward and be more involved in the build up play. The managers know his limitations and his strengths, yet he still gets selected….for defence.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Rice offered ZERO going forward. They'd have been better with a back 5.

I thought he was the only one in the midfield stopping Macedonia breaking forward, noticed 4 or 5 times he did that. Controlled game from midfield - agreed didn’t offer much going forward but we had enough forward players on pitch to do that. Shame Grealish goal was offside - felt would have gone on to score more. Oh well.

 

[Blue Steel]

City players carried the team yet again. In fact they were positively hindered by the woeful inadequacies of the others around them.

Jack, Phil, Rico and Kyle the most solid on the pitch - no coincidence.

Just hope none of them feel sore after playing on that shocking pitch.

Saka was utterly ineffective, Rashford so diabolical it’s laughable, TAA like WTF, and the ref just completely bonkers.

Channel 4 coverage jockeying for position for the Most Shite award this evening. Thank god they’ve lost the broadcast rights.

No idea why it took that long. Saw straight away it was off. By the way that would have stood before VAR, how is that right?

But agreed, took way too long to check that.

He was fine in my opinion. Ever since he’s gone to Arsenal he’s been labelled as shit by many.
