Euro - Qualification.

Latest....Malta 0-3 England after 68 minutes.

Eze comes on to make his debut for England.

Surprised we’re allowed in the competition after the disgrace of Brexit.
Would never have happened under Labour.
Bloody Tories


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Never a penalty for us, harsh to say the least.

Ludicrous that this season is still going on after an early start and later finish than normal to accomodate a World Cup. Expected but good result all the same.

Good result, but possibly the least exciting game I've ever seen.

So the bit I don’t get is the “natural” and “unnatural” position thing. If the ball touches a players hand isn’t that  hand ball regardless? Or has been for decades?

Until recently, intent was important. If it hit a hand by accident, then it wasn't handball. In the VAR era it is if the arm is in an 'unnatural position' which seems to include being attached to the body, in some situations.

Maybe in domestic football, but referees were always harsher on handballs everywhere else in the world.

VAR shouldn't have sent the referee to look. As soon as they did it put him in an impossible position and he felt forced to give the penalty despite him probably thinking it was ridiculous.

Watched it. We did what we needed to do. Doesn’t change my opinion that the minnows should have to qualify for the qualification stage.

90 minutes of my life I won’t get back.
