England v San Marino

[wellquickwoody]

So according to Shandy Townsend, their keeper should not have come out and cleared the ball?

Uh?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Complete balls. Another pundit brown nosing our players.

 

[BensGrandad]

However you try to justify it that was a very reckless challenge by the keeper with his feet raised very high.

He got his foot on the ball and didn't touch Walcott with either of his feet. Skilled goalkeeping.

Not a reckless challenge by our player when he had been beaten to the ball?

Or a diving opportunity?

Indeed, but the ITV hype would have us believe that we should be 17-0 up against this lot by now, so you can't expect them to allow the truth to get in the way of things.

Since when were the rules changed to allow you to raise your feet to kick a ball that is head height.

when was his feet at head hight?

 

[BensGrandad]

when was his feet at head hight?

when he kicked the ball and collided with WALCOTT. Had it been later in the game would have definitely been at least a yellow card. If you think it was an ok challenge how would you feel if the same thing happened with Speroni and CMS.

 

[Washie]

when he kicked the ball and collided with WALCOTT.

When his knee collided with his chest?

when he kicked the ball and collided with WALCOTT.

His foot was at waist level at the very highest. It would have been head height if he had rushed out on a person with dwarfism (and the dwarf being stood on the ground).

 

[Eggman]

Keeper came and won the ball fair and square. Any subsequent collision is just unfortunate. Townsend is a pillock.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Anyone else hope San Marino sneak this one nil?

Just me?

Indeed. ITV coverage is a love child of Jeremy Kyle and the Sun.

Cringeworthy.

 

[Driver8]

Looks like England have finally found their level.

Just me?

To be honest, even i am

 

[Eggman]

Wold LOVE it to be 0-0 at the half.

 

[BensGrandad]

Just a matter of time before we score and how many we get. They are the only questions.

I love the press and fan reaction when we lose, especially against teams we expect to beat (or even draw against when we're expected to trounce them). And having read how certain an england win is earlier, I'd get some enjoyment from us failing to win.

 

[BensGrandad]

2 - 0 and I think that they will get at least 4 more especially if they get a 3rd before half time.
