I certainly wasn’t convinced that there was a penalty tonight and thought that there should have been the other night. I thought tonight that the referee didn’t give soft decisions apart from the penalty, “assisted by VAR). Thought that there was also a blatant tug on a shirt by a defender in the English Box but a foul was given the other way. Opinions! VAR or no VAR we still have them.

stlucifer Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 I've only seen the England "penalty" incident once but, one, I don't think there was enough to justify the call and, two, wasn't Kane offside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the offside but a very soft award. I thought Kane fell over and then the other player fell and then hit Kane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considerably more than the referee on his own does but, yeah, it's not infallible so there's still some of this debate that some see as an important part of the game.

faraway saint Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 England 0-0 Italy, been one way traffic for England but Ramsdale did make a very good save, 42 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Channel 4's coverage, the two females with Michael Owen, is pish poor. I could search for their girls names but no point, they are both mince, although wee Michael isn't the most enthralling. They, for some weird reason, just done a "live link" to New YorK with Del Piero, the time delay meant it was a pointless exercise, jeezo.

faraway saint Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 England 0-0 Italy, reasonable game, when you get two sides with decent players all over the park it can sometimes end up with no goals, although both teams did create a few chances. I like the look of Bowen, West Ham, attacking and direct, he might be a target for a bigger club over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
