Check this out for Ukraine not getting a penalty right at the end to qualify.



At least ours was irrelevant.

That's a shocker.

Dublin has to go down as one of the worst co commentators on the circuit, an absolute clown. I think there will be a twist he says five minutes into injury time with 1 minute left to play, calling players by their first names, well the rag players anyway and Trent obviously. Saying that Maguire challenge wasn't a penalty ffs, clear as day. He was just shit and goes well with Channel 4's coverage

Neither will 23 other teams, we have no divine right and there’s no guarantees for anyone, especially in a knockout.

However we was a penalty shootout away last time and we’ve got some real talent and a good bunch of young players so there’s always hope.

But the arsehole will not choose the right players. Maguire, Slabhead and Rashford will still be in the squad.

Probably why they’re worse than last season.

this stage of last season they had lost 4 games and sat on 20 points, this season they’ve lost 1 and sit on 27.

He’ll want to keep some experience in and around the squad, that makes sense. Unlikley they’ll all start. Don’t care unless we win the games.

Arsenal had 31 points after 12 games last season.

They have 27 now.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Tomas Galvez got an assist for Finland tonight in his debut. OK they were only playing San Marino

 

[East Level 2]

Everything about VAR is wrong it wasn’t needed It’s trying to play football in a lab It’s shite when in a stadium Football isn’t a game that allows for it, the spontaneity of the game is ruined The justification for fucking up the game, ie getting decisions right, now it’s 3 idiots getting them wrong They have modified the laws to suit VAR which is the wrong away round Clear and obvious yet they use freeze frame and slow motion to determine that of its a clear and obvious error why does it take minute to determine

Well I for one got fed up with the rags and dippers getting all the 50/50 calls and thought that VAR officials wouldn't be influenced by the crowds. Think about our first penalty at the swamp in 31 years.
Unfortunately the VAR officials are influenced by their unbelievable levels of incompetence.

What a sensational debut from Rico, best player out there. Eighteen years old, crazy.

 

[Bollo]

Well, that was a load of codswallop

Steady!
