[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 10

[HangletonGull]

No complaints here, I've seen about a dozen movies in this franchise and they always end the same. Can't fault the application, but the quality hasn't really been there for Scotland in this tournament. And the lack of urgency for the first 80 minutes tonight didn't help. Oh well.
C'mon ABE!

Can’t fault the application, you seriously think that ?

 

[The Rivet]

No way that is a penalty, what are these BBC pundits on about! Shearer is talking bull!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Was a gamble

But as @Badger pointed out, 2 points may have been enough given the current 3rd place table

 

[dangull]

It obviously did, but it was not a penalty.

Have you seen the slow motion just now?

 

[Doc Lynam]

Considering they have at least 2 or 3 competitive teams in Scotland, some of the players that represent them are very poor.

 

[Midget]

I don’t think it’s a shame they went out personally, I think it was inevitable as they were a poor side playing at a level which far exceeded their ability. It wasn’t exactly like they were robbed across the three games…

The fans are probably a loss to the tournament.

The team, not so much.

 

[HangletonGull]

Surprised that VAR didn't look at the penalty.

Why would var look at it ?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Surprised that VAR didn't look at the penalty.

It’s only stonewall from one angle. Not the angle of the linesman. I don’t think VAR saw the one view that makes it a 100% penalty.

 

[Midget]

What do you call a Scotsman in the second round of a football tournament?

A referee

The old ones are the best

Commiserations.

I'm in no doubt you will get your own back at some point, sooner rather than later in the tournament !

They just ignoring the Scottish player ripping the other player shirt near off then

Doesn't he do that as he's falling over?

 

[KZNSeagull]

I don't agree about the penalty. Armstrong is yanking at his shirt. Umpire's call. No-one is mentioning it.

He has his hand on the defenders chest but only grabs the shirt after the defender clatters his leg.

 

[Justice]

Clarke what was he doing? Took of his PL midfield when they were finally on top. Oh well

 

[Bozza]

In fairness, having just watched about 5,000 slow-mos of the incident, he only gripped and pulled the shirt after the contact and as he was going to ground.

 

[The Rivet]

Armstrong thought he was on strictly come dancing instead of running onto the ball to shoot!

 

[oldboyroy]

The old ones are the best

Let's hope it doesn't come back on us Tuesday

 

[hart's shirt]

With no shots on target, there's no guarantee Scotland would have hit the target even if they had been given the penalty.

Alan is nothing if not consistent...

The thing is, he doesn't pull the shirt until after he's fouled. But a) I think VAR would have seen the shirt pull and thought it makes the pen less clear, and b) I'm still not sure he wasn't offside (I thought he was).
