[Football] Engerrrland v The Scotch match day thread.

[Raleigh Chopper]

Deserves its own thread.
Just settling down to watch my first ever ladies game.
Tremendously excited by all this.
I may ask a few questions along the way to help me enjoy it even more.

Come on England!! Let's hope it is more exciting than the fellas today.

Our women are as tone deaf as our men. I expected a bit more from the women singing our national anthem than that tbh.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Ref looks a bit moody and 'no-nonsense'.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

And they're off (snigger)

VAR roolz

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Penalty to us.

[Razzoo]

Yayyy 1-0

Letter of the law says yes a penalty, but harsh.

That new handball rule plus VAR is not going to cause any controversy in the PL at all is it? Dear oh dear.

Streams?

It’s actually more clear than the previous rule in my opinion. No interpretation needed, arm away from the body and the ball hits it = pen.

20 minutes in and I think England look very good.
Passing it around nicely and attacking with speed.
Could be a thumping on the cards here.

If the Albion (all teams) could play out of defence like that cameo a few moments ago, I’d be happy.

Really entertaining game. Some great passing from England- we need that second goal though

Is she related in any way to George Parris?

I suppose, but it won't last long. There was no intent there, just a defender naturally balancing themselves. 5 penalties in every PL game will soon put an end to it. We will see though.

It’s used all over the world now, players have just learned pretty quickly to defend with their arms down.
